  • 5/5 Michael S. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm a big fan of Lebanese style food. I was really delighted to find it here in Barbados and it's right around the corner from the hotel I'm staying at. We enjoyed the grilled chicken (shish taouk) and the salad (fettouche) a lot. The prices are reasonable and we ate like kings! update: 2nd visit. The beef was delicious! The food was meticulously prepared and the wait for takeout was reasonable. Only wish you offered desserts like a nice piece of baklawa. 3rd visit...I can't stay away from this place. When you walk by you can smell what's grilling and it makes me hungry! Great friendly place!

    Terrible food. Bought wedges on Tuesday and they tasted horrible, burnt and seems like they were fried in OLD OIL tell me why was there liquid in my crate with wedges? Then you have the audacity to say "A1 quality from a1 supermarkets." Bull.

    It's a nice store, it has your vegetables and fruits and so on what a normal store would have. One thing though is about the food. When you get food there to eat, there is no tables to sit down and enjoy your food. I recommend you adding some tables with chairs for you customers to sit down.

    Clean, huge supermarket, plenty options, love the bakery section, coffee bean dispenser options, went looking for paneer cheese and Greek yogurt, didn't find anything there, dairy options were limited, however they have goat milk on Wednesdays. Cashiers plentiful at the time I went so the check out process was seamless.

  • 4/5 Kb K. 3 years ago on Google
    A wonderful, one-stop shopping experience. Carlton is the home of "proper pork " and service. Bajan owned and operated, it has been a landmark in Black Rock for generations

  • 5/5 Ralph H. 3 years ago on Google
    Best lunch on the island! Excellent food cooked perfectly. Find it hard to find a fault. Not a big falafel guy but... wow! Unbelievably tasty. A must visit for lunch.

  • 2/5 Don W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food but twice expensive then Ali Baba because of all the extra charges for things that should be included. Because the owenr responded we did a comparison and the same meal that cost $56 at Sahara was just $30 and the competition and it tasted just as nice...

  • 5/5 Gerald H. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent. Just a reminder, this is cash only as of March 2020, but the food is excellent. I had the hummus wrap, and my wife had the potato wrap. Highly recommend it when you're on Barbados.

  • 5/5 Severine W. 4 years ago on Google
    The best arabian food on the island by far

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious food no matter what you get.

  • 5/5 Merilyn L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great falafel and wraps. Most authentic arabic food I've found on the island so far.

  • 4/5 Fawad Ud D. 4 years ago on Google
    Good mediterranean food. The taste is good and authentic but the portions are bit less. But would definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Monica M. 6 years ago on Google
    Perhaps the best falafel we’ve ever had. Crisp on the outside, perfectly seasoned, topped with fresh garnish. If we lived in Barbados, we’d eat here every week. Great food and service. Order ahead as they make everything fresh to order.

  • 4/5 ryan L. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been here a few times now the Food is definitely good and is fresh the lamb is always well cooked. I forgot they don’t do orders if you have a foreign number but they were still kind enough to cook my lunch before I showed up yesterday. Good place for a quick bite

  • 4/5 Agus dwi c. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Forever F. 3 years ago on Google

    Tasty food and the homemade pita's are the best.

  • 4/5 ray2rad 3 years ago on Google
    I had a chana okra and eggplant roti and it was fantastic as usual with all of the sauces

  • 4/5 Joshua C. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the food and the staff was friendly. The downfall is that you only get one skewer of meat with the platters. It was also the first place that gave a $0.95 usd to $2bbd. Everywhere else has used a $1usd to $2bbd. FYI: $60BBD for the two platters

  • 5/5 Oliver W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fast and inexpensive very tasty food. Chicken wrap and fallafel wrap with humus are recommended (Original) Schnelles und preiswertes sehr leckeres Essen. Chicken Wrap und Fallafel Wrap mit Humus sind zu empfehlen

  • 5/5 John S. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful food, authentic freshly cooked and delicious. A great lunch.

  • 3/5 Omar A. 4 years ago on Google
    small portion sizes, overpriced but good food.

  • 5/5 Ali M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, ordering is a little over complicated and I'm not sure why the restriction on bread but it was worth the visit and we will return.

  • 5/5 chithradevi d. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good service

  • 2/5 M A. 4 years ago on Google
    This is more of a carry out restaurant than a formal one. They do NOT accept credit cards. So be prepared. They will take US dollars but will give back local currency in change, not US dollars. Very irritating and inconvenient. Apparently they also do not have/offer ketchup up. Which is odd when you order French Fries. The food is tasty and fresh. Everything is made to order. The restaurant itself is in a older plaza away from the main areas. Had they been more flexible or accommodating I may have given them a higher review. I doubt I will be back.

  • 4/5 Victoria C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food here tastes delicious even though they took a bit long..... Location is okay... Most likely you won't get a park near you will have to park by the beach parking area and walk the rest of the way....

  • 5/5 Richard P. 4 years ago on Google
    Got there late and thought we would get old food and tired service. Just the opposite. I would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Kay A. 4 years ago on Google
    I like their lamb wraps. Only thing I order

  • 5/5 adrian c. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Maxwell M. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was good but portions are small and took longer than expected to prepare.

  • 5/5 Tuan N. 4 years ago on Google
    Foods here are very good. I would recommend to friends and family. Location is okay from Bridgetown, but parking is a little densed.

  • 5/5 Kris S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, great portions, and most important the people there are friendly and awesome

  • 4/5 Tom C. 4 years ago on Google
    We’ve been to this place and plan to return - best hummus on the island. We didn’t try too much other than tabouli and hummus but hope to on our return.

  • 5/5 Unai S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, price and service! Ask for a lamb in a plate! Awesome!!!

  • 4/5 Olaitan E. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Peter L. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good food with casual bistro atmosphere.

  • 5/5 ying f. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good food but expensive

  • 4/5 Dominique 4 years ago on Google
    The food is simply amazing therefore it is worth all the "jumping through hoops" with them. Some things cannot be served by itself, some things cannot be on the side, some things are sold out, some things are not in the menu, cash only, order online and your order maybe be rejected, etc. Not a good business strategy nor customer-friendly. Very confusing ordering requirements. But the staff is friendly. The prices just OK, however the food is amazing!!! Tip: Make sure you do not get there after 6 pm as a lot of things are sold out. They close at 7:30 pm.

  • 1/5 Sarah H. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was terrible

  • 5/5 Sloane G. 4 years ago on Google
    Fresh, delicious, amazing food..

  • 4/5 Lesta N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, I love Arabic food because of the great exotic, vibrant and mouthwatering flavours, its really nice food. Just don't ask for a printed menu so you can order later. And also order early as the place close at 7.30pm. That's something I haven't grasped like why would a food serving place close so early

  • 5/5 Jason S. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, good value. Have cash on hand as they don't take cards

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant Food. Love this family business.

  • 5/5 Lidia P. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious fish platter!

  • 4/5 Shane S. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience was Excellent.I went to get some dog food and for some reason the blue from the bag had my hands all ink up. The cashier after pleasantly greeting me she offered me tissue and alcohol/sanitizer to clean my hands and wish he a good evening.I am sorry I didn't get her name .

  • 4/5 Bridget S. 2 years ago on Google
    Reasonably priced products and helpful staff. The vegetables are fresh. Parking lot is usually full but the store is not crowded.

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cherie de P. 2 years ago on Google
    Supermarket is clean, well stocked and the staff is warm and polite

  • 4/5 Lorette I. 1 year ago on Google
    For an unassuming neighborhood that Black Rock is, I was totally surprised by this grocery store..Seems more like a super center reminds me of the Massey in Hometown. Never purchased anything but just browsed and was impressed by the cleanliness and aisle after aisle of neatly packed goods as far as the eye can see..and there's a Royal bank ATM within.

  • 5/5 Marcia B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been a customer at Carlton for over forty years and the service is excellent. The Staff Shelly, Keisha, Barry, Mr. Babb just to name a few a always friendly and professional and make you feel special

  • 4/5 C B. 1 year ago on Google
    Spacious, relaxed shopping centre, excellent food available in the Deli. GREAT brands available in the supermarket for your daily household items, not as extensive with the International brands like Massy, but decent and somewhat better prices. Their late hours and convenient location on two major bus routes, along with adequate Taxi service available right outside, Carlton supermarket is an excellent supermarket in Barbados with a pharmacy and hair store on the same compound and ATMs from PUBLIC workers Credit Union and First Citizens Bank and RBC IT IS DIFFICULT, NOT TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED IT IS ALWAYS CLEAN WHENEVER I visit.

  • 4/5 Jeffrey I. 1 year ago on Google
    Spacious, great variety friendly and helpful staff, expensive compared to other supermarkets.

  • 5/5 Malcolm A. 1 year ago on Google
    Large supermarket selling most things. Shopped there today 13th Nov 2022 and there were some offers on Carib beer (second pack of six half price) and frozen hams (second [cheapest] ham half price). The ham offer is while stocks last and brings the per kilo price down from 37.20 to 27.90 assuming two same weight hams are purchased.Plenty of sweet wines (if you like those - we don’t). And some things in stock that are not in Massy most of the time - lemons, large watermelons, green veg., tomatoes. Less Tesco products at the present time - did not notice any of their rice when looking for basmati. Overall a good place to shop and there is help available to get your bags to your car - please tip generously

  • 3/5 A. G. P. 1 year ago on Google
    Not so bad at you would think! They still lack a lot of food though 😣

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoy the experience of shopping in comfort, plus free wifi. I can take my time and browse in comfort as opposed to some other supermarkets on the Island.

  • 4/5 Muhammad H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service... cashiers always moving fast... in and out in minutes.

  • 4/5 Deborah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Shopping here is more convenient for me because of location, but prices are high

  • 3/5 Andrea S. 1 year ago on Google
    Expensive. Not a lot of variety. Cashiers don't pay attention.

  • 5/5 RECETAS KETO Por: Esther F. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like it because it has my favorite coffee Cafe Santo Domingo, with a good price. And when you go out, you can find the beautiful beach. It has good parking lot so you can go essily. And of course, I bought my really good favorite coffee.

  • 5/5 Richard A. 9 months ago on Google
    good prices, well stocked and organized, friendly helpful staff
