Dametra Cafe is a casual Mediterranean restaurant. Here, diners can expect high-quality healthy food delivered quickly in a relaxed atmosphere. The decor and styling of the dining room is distinctly Greek, specifically like one of the many coastal cities that the country is known for. Between that and the hearty portions and prompt service, Dametra Cafe sits nicely between an upscale restaurant and quick-service places.Dametra's Cafe features primarily Greek cuisine, with some Italian and Spanish thrown in for good measure. Appetizers include hummus with pita bread, fried calamari, grilled jumbo prawns and steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The meals are split between sandwiches, pasta and entrée offerings and features dishes such as shrimp and crab ravioli, a salmon burger with red onion and tomatoes, lamb shish kebab and a Greek style lamb shank with rice pilaf and fresh vegetables.

Always enjoy dining at Dametra whenever I visit Carmel. This time we’re there for R&R and hubby bday. All the food is delicious. I had the entree cod. Very fresh and cooked to perfection. My family ordered 5 different entrees plus 2 appetizers and 1 soup. I don’t remember what they order but I know they love their entrees. I can confidently say everything on the menu is good. Several staff came to sing happy bday to my hubby with a lighted candle dessert. It was a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to go back during our next visit.

This is our 4th time there and each time does not disappoint. Food is always excellent and service is great. My mom had the salmon with potatoes. She immediately went “mmmmm” at the first bite. I had the Istanbul kebab which is why we were there today. I was craving that dish. Great place

This was my third visit to Damieta and again it did not disappoint. While the food was authentically excellent the employees were superb in every sense which really made the visit so much more special. These are people who really care about creating an experience and memory for its patrons. Thank you!
