We tried a few dishes here and really enjoyed the food. The lamb shank was tender and flavorful, served with nicely seasoned rice and vegetables, and the eggplant dip was creamy and comforting. The environment was very cozy and welcoming, which we loved. However, the waiting time was quite long—possibly because they were catering to larger parties, as we were just two people. Overall, a good experience with great food and atmosphere, but be prepared to wait.

The lamb I ordered was incredibly tender and delicious, but I actually thought my husband's dish was even better (I forgot the name of it). Besides the complimentary bread before the meal, they also provide a free dessert afterwards.

We dropped in for lunch today and sat at the bar toward the back to enjoy the view of the colorful decor. We shared the delicious Greek Salad and the Vegetable sandwich. Both were generous & flavorful! We did not order dessert but they gave us their baklava that was to die for! We highly recommend you try it yourself and don't forget the Baklava!

I recently visited Dametra Cafe and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and welcoming, making you feel at home right away. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure everything is perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully presented. I especially enjoyed the Mediterranean dishes, which tasted fresh and authentic. The live music and entertainment created such a fun and unique vibe. Overall, this is a place I would happily come back to and highly recommend to anyone visiting Carmel.

• Damascus Labneh Cheese – Homemade labneh with za’atar pita, olives, and tomato wedges. Excellent — I could’ve made a whole meal out of just this dish.

From our entire NorCal trip, Dametra Cafe has been the most fun place we discovered. We were walking around town after dinner when we heard music and saw people dancing through the restaurant window. We ended up going in and grabbing seats at the bar. Amir was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the hardest time choosing a mocktail because I truly wanted to try them all. Even though we had already eaten dinner, we still had to enjoy a little taste of their Mediterranean food. Once the music started, everyone got up to dance. The singer has such a beautiful voice. The vibe in this place is unmatched. If we make this trip again, we are absolutely coming here for dinner.

This place is so authentic and mouthwatering delicious! After viewing the beautiful ocean in Carmel we stopped for a bite to eat and I was so pleasantly surprised at the flavors and options available here. My mother in law ordered the lasagna- probably my favorite thing from here- the tomato sauce was a little sweet and seasoned to perfection. My husband had the paella which burst with flavor from the mussels, shrimp, and oysters, sausage and chicken and I had the halibut with a great crust on it. The bread and oil was delicious and our service was outstanding! They had a love singer/musician whose performance was top tier! Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Love the Greek foods here. We had the roasted vegetable salad, dametra royal combination, Greek combination platter, Greek salad, and the grilled jumbo prawns.

All around excellent experience and will be back again. The food- excellent. Just wanted to get that out first. Big platters of fresh delicious food. We got the combo platter and I was stuffed at the end of it. Highly recommend. The service was top notch as well. The servers were very nice and accommodating and really made sure you you were taken care of. The atmosphere of the place was so fun and exciting! They have live music which was actually pretty good, but it also kept the vibes chill and light. Overall it was a great time. Oh and the dessert was so good. This restaurant is a must visit.
