The Lowdown · AI digest
How we read reviews →Carlton's four-decade Lebanese institution, famous for its chicken and rice and generous mezze dips.
Homely, unpretentious Carlton institution with steep narrow stairs to an upstairs dining room; reviewers describe it as authentic and family-run rather than polished fine dining.
Home-made lemonade with rose water (limonda), extensive vegetarian and gluten-free options, upstairs dining room for a quieter setting.
Strong authenticity signals from Lebanese-heritage reviewers who compare the food to home cooking, though one reviewer noted quality dipped since the founder's retirement.
Reviewers are split. many call the banquet, around $72-75 per head, great value for generous shared dishes, though a few found smaller à la carte portions pricey.
