Budget-friendly halal smash and naan burgers with generous combos, but frequent complaints about rude counter service, hygiene, and missing items mean experiences vary widely.
Times Square® Paris struggles with fundamental execution across multiple dimensions. Food safety concerns including reported off odors and food-poisoning claims, combined with inconsistent food quality (missing items, cold fillings, variable portions) and poor service attentiveness (rude staff, long waits), create a pattern of unreliability that undermines the appeal of affordable naan burgers. A recent downward trend in late 2024–2026 suggests deteriorating standards rather than temporary lapses.
The room feels bright and bustling, with kiosks guiding most orders and a steady stream of late-night customers. One diner noted, "We used the kiosks and ate downstairs; there was space for our big group." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. Reports frequently mention rushed counter service and inconsistent cleanliness. The cooking leans classic fast-food with a twist: smash burgers on potato buns and naan burger sandwiches. When execution lands, portions are generous and the fries with cheddar hit the comfort spot. But several recent reviews flag dry patties, missing sides, and occasional off odors, so results can swing from satisfying to frustrating depending on timing and team. For families, it is fairly easy: kids nuggets meals at €5.90, straightforward burgers, fries, and simple desserts around €3-3.50. No dedicated kids menu beyond that set, but the food is familiar and wallet-friendly. If your child prefers classic buns over naan, stick to the basic burger menus and confirm sides at pickup.
