Excellent food and service. Will definitely visit again
The Paramount has been in Penarth for over 25years. Its centrally located near the main train station and has ample parking outside. I had a Chicken Shatkora which is a Bangladeshi dish and my wife had a Vegetable Byriani. The service is fine but I was disappointed that the restaurant serves a Baileys in measures of 25ml instead of the legal 50ml.
Have been a lover of Indian food since I was 17yrs old. Not disclosing my exact age, I can say I have OVER 30yrs of experience. This place in my opinion was only surpassed by two other experiences as the worst Indian takeaway food I have eaten. Sheek kebab starter.. dry and very salty. Peshwari nan tasted OK but had very little coconut and the same for the keema nan which had only traces of meat. The main dishes were chicken korma and a chicken rezala (chef's recommended). The korma, a coconut based curry was overpowered by the taste of coconut water and had no creaminess, though the chicken was properly cooked. The rezala had properly cooked chicken but was bathing in a watery fluid mixed with soggy onion and tomato. Now, pilau rice should flow off the spoon, but this clumped like cat litter. Overall, the meal resembled a failed first attempt at a home effort of cooking Indian food. Not impressed at all and had travelled from Merthyr to Penarth to collect, based on others' recommendations.
All round great night.
