Investment $500,000 - $1,000,000 · 38 units
Paramount Fine Foods is a halal Middle Eastern restaurant group founded in Mississauga in 2006, when Mohamad Fakih bought a struggling shawarma restaurant. The group now spans restaurants, catering, a bakery and sweets operation and a halal butcher shop. In April 2025 Fakih regained supermajority operating control after a period of majority outside ownership.
The menu is Lebanese and wider Middle Eastern cuisine. Three formats operate: Paramount Middle Eastern Kitchen, a full-service restaurant of 3,000 to 5,000 square feet; Paramount Lebanese Kitchen, a quick-service format placed in office towers, universities, hospitals and airports; and Paramount Butcher Shop.
There are roughly 38 locations, most in Ontario, with sites in Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec, and international locations in Lebanon, Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
The franchisor sets net worth requirements of $500,000 for the quick-service format and $800,000 for the full-service format, and offers master franchise agreements by country, region or province. Training takes place at a company training facility before opening.
