    Is it bad that I didn't even know Carbon existed?

    Only tried Almah, food was good, though I don't recall the dishes I tried. Probably one of the Jaffa breakfasts. The consensus from other locals is Almah.
    Any Carbon reviews?

    Did not, maybe it wasn’t as popular with everyone. Sorry, it was called chicken Milanese, not Malpensa (I was thinking Italy lol).
