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.

    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!

    Had an amazing experience here. Food was fantastic and plentiful. Selection of a variety if Mediterranean cuisine (Greek, Italien, Spanish, Turkish). They also had some live entertainment that had the place jumping with everyone up dancing to the guitar and drums. It is a small but cozy spot and highly recommend reservations as it is a popular spot.

    Fun spot, but if you’re looking for a quiet romantic dinner where you can hear each other, this is not it! If you’re celebrating a birthday w friends, this is the spot for you. Multiple birthdays being celebrated during our Sunday night dinner, we were sitting under a speaker and they have a person miked up w a guitar singing happy birthday and then another song of their choice. So for like 5-7 min expect to not being able to hear or talk to your dining partners. Having said that, food was good.

    My husband and I went on our first trip to Carmel together with our almost 1 year old, and we had an amazing experience at Dametra cafe! The ambience was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better meal! The portions were large/perfect for sharing with our baby and also enough to take leftovers home :) we will be returning asap!
