Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Carmen’s does a very good Mediterranean lunch. I had the tali-pita. It took a while to make but was very good. My biz partner had a chicken wrap. He liked it. Potato salad was good and the baclava delish. Plenty of choices if you don’t...want Mediterranean. burgers, grilled cheese and other. Does take a few minutes if you come at noon. Bring your patience.More

We went here for a weekday lunch since we're new to the downtown Dayton area. The food was great, reasonably priced and the service was wonderful. They have desserts also and my friend said the baklava was terrific.

I had a good chicken pecan salad for lunch. The fresh brewed iced tea was the best. The made to order sandwiches and desserts looked delicious. The next time I will allow enough time to enjoy a sandwich and dessert.

The last time I was there, I ordered a Philly cheesesteak but requested they use tortilla instead of a hoagie bun. I was told off by the cook, he said “I’ll do it this time because we’re not busy but not next time!” Really? I...guess making it in a tortilla is much more complicated than a bun. Btw, the previous cook always made it for me, busy or not! She was awesome! I haven’t returned since. Decent food but service needs improvement.More

Great stop if you have business in Downtown Dayton in or near the Kettering Tower. Our Legal Firm is there for my Company so business takes me down there sometimes. The Owner is super friendly and talks to all the customers. Good selection of sandwiches,...wraps, burgers and sides. Love the potato salad. Service is super fast. Grab a bite here if you're down in Dayton and need a quick quality lunch. Take out is provided or dine in.More

All the food I have had here it great. Large portions. Maybe a little on the expensive side for lunch, but worth it.

This is a cafe in Kettering Tower. It gets very crowded here at lunch so expect to stand a bit. They have sandwiches, burgers, wraps and even falaffels. I had a chipotle bacon burger around 1/3 pound black angus. The patties were already cooked when...I order they just had to reheat. It was good but pricy for 7.50 with no fries. Fries are $3 extras. The fries were very good and they give you an ample amount. The owner even walks around to make sure everyone is happy.More

I frequent Carmen's Deli on a monthly basis. They offer a diverse lunch menu, and hands down, the best garlic potato salad I've ever had! It gets busy for lunch and there is usually line, but it's worth the wait. Yummy desserts, too. Small breakfast...menu. I recommend.More

My wife works in down-town Dayton, and after taking me here for the first time I asked, "Why have you not brought me here before?" The food was wonderfully fresh, cooked to perfection, and tasted fantastic. The menu is diverse and provides a great number...of options. It's easy to get something healthy and low-cal or to go all out with a burger or some other option. You can get it all, and after tasting the food, that's want I want to do! We met the owner and he was friendly and kind. He walked around the place and greeted folks with a smile. Most seemed to know him and they talked like old fiends. Go! Go to this place. You'll love it!More

Great downtown breakfast and lunch spot. You will be made to feel welcome, they treat you like an old friend even if you're a stranger. I just wish I worked closer to downtown because the service is that good. Food is made fresh to order,...the sandwiches are terrific.More

Their selections of sandwiches (grilled and cold) are outstanding and they make great wraps as well. The staff is incredibly friendly especially for the owner who greats every customer with a cheerful smile. I love the Southwest Chicken wrap. Nice place to meet for lunch...or to just have a cup of coffee and and treat. They serve breakfast also.More
