In 1988, Paymon Raouf opened a small café featuring Middle Eastern delights that paired well with his robust Arabic coffee. It quickly grew into an intimate local spot attracting diners looking for an ethnic cultural experience not readily in Las Vegas at the time. Since then, it evolved in many ways as an independent operator featuring not only great tasting dishes and libations, but doing them with a health-conscious approach, avoiding trans, artificial additives and preservatives, limiting saturated fats while also presenting delicious vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes long before the terms broke into the public consciousness.
In 2000, Paymon teamed up with Jeff Ecker, President of Restaurant Consultants of Las Vegas to oversee day to day operations and lead the business development. This duo has been intact ever since. In 2020, Paymon’s Mediterranean Café and Lounge announced it was changing its name after over 31 years to Paymon’s Fresh Kitchen and Lounge. This formal change is an outward declaration of how Paymon’s has been sourcing the freshest available ingredients for creative dishes from around the world.
