Every dish is so tasty every time, try a mix of things !
Every dish is so tasty every time, try a mix of things ! The space is family friendly and the team staff owners have very fun energy. Definitely the type of place to bring guests if you want them to have a consistently enjoyable dinner when visiting the area. It is a busy and popular spot in Carmel but I do feel like they do their best to accommodate as many customers as they can late into the night.

What an amazing place! The lamb shank was melt in your mouth delicious, the pesto raviolis were amazing and the dolmas were the best we ever had. And our daughter ordered the best Panna cotta dessert ever- even better than the ones we had in Italy some years ago!! The live Middle Eastern music was so entertaining and completed the wonderful experience- everyone was having so much fun!
Be the first to ReplyThis place was good overall, not great, but good place.
We ordered the almond crusted halibut with prawns over spinach and side of rice, and it had a light cream sauce. Sounds yummy right, but it was just okay. The fish was a bit dry and lacked flavor. The fried calamari was fantastic though, and the dipping sauce it came with. We really enjoyed that appetizer. I wished I asked for a bowl of clam chowder instead of the cup because that was delicious too. My husband ordered the Greek combination platter, which he thought was just okay. There is nothing special about it. The service was great, and they had live music, which we thought was charming and sounded great.
Be the first to ReplyPart Italian, part Greek menu.
Little confusing, but either way, delicious food. Pasta dish we had always spot on with plenty of shrimp, almost too many . Lamb Kabob was cooked to perfection. it was Saturday night and they had live music going so made the entire evening very festive. And plenty of wine by bottle at reasonable prices.Good food, good staff and good service. What else could you ask for? I only wish they had online booking.
Be the first to ReplyHands down the best gyro in town.
Fresh ingredients, great service, fast, and they pay attention to cleanliness. And HUGE portions. A go to spot for lunch!
Be the first to ReplyPerfect for the tourist that doesn't know any better.
Don't know where they get all these positive reviews, but it's fine -- keep the crowds away from my favorites. Food is just mediocre for the masses. Ambience is stuffy to accommodate the crowd.

They were playing Gypsy kings Spanish music and the non Arab people had no idea. So easy to fool those with zero ethnicity. Food was same as always GOOD.

The food at this place is to die for! I seriously dream about it! I love the pita bread and hummus! I also love everything I have ever gotten here. I loved the lamb skewers! They were so good with the tzatziki sauce and the hummus! Everything was so good I loved the serenade and the dancing they encouraged with their live music and dancing! Truly made everyone feel at home! The family run business atmosphere shines through at Dametra's and I can't wait until my next visit!

Amazing food, wine, ambience! The guitarist and drummer were phenomenal to listen to while enjoying dinner... mucho bueno!

You have to try this place if you want good food and a great time! We decided to try it based on all the reviews and we weren't disappointed. The food was great. Our group had the lasagne, pasta bolognese, and the NY steak. It was all wonderful. The true joy in this place is the staff. A gentleman came out with s guitar to sign happy birthday to a guest and when he was done other staff started coming out with bongo drums and tambourines and the next thing you knew the entire restaurant was on their feet and dancing!! This happened twice while we were there, truly an incredible experience. The place was full of people and the tables are close together so know that before you go in case this vibe isn't for you. But if you want great food and to have the best time at a restaurant than this is a must try establishment. Thank you to all the amazing staff, we had a blast and you made our entire day in Carmel. We can't wait to come back!!!

Really yummy and great service! Came here with some friends on a Thursday afternoon and it was packed! Loved the variety of different foods; I got their shawrma which was delicious! The waiters and managers were really friendly and nice, and even gave us some dessert to try. Definitely would come back !

RUDE HOSTESS and HORRIBLE management!! STAY AWAY from Dametra Cafe! They do NOT know the first thing about customer service. My girl friends and I decided to dine at Dametra Cafe for a Sunday night dinner and put our names on the waitlist. Upon asking the hostess what the approximate wait time is, the hostess rudely dismissed us saying we don't provide wait times. When asked to point us to the restroom while awaiting our table, we were rudely told to go use the public bathrooms and that we cannot use their restroom. The behavior of the hostess and her manager was downright appalling/unethical!! We took our business to Pepe Vesuvius down the street which was an amazing restaurant with the most polite and courteous staff ever!
Be the first to ReplyRUDE HOSTESS who will bark at you.
HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Putting 5 STARS SO THE REVIEW DOES NOT GO TO THE BOTTOM. Absolutely ridiculous how rude the lady was when we went in to put our name on the wait list. We were a group of 5 girls and when 2 of us went to ask if we can use the restroom while we wait we were rudelyTold you can use public restroom. There was no line either for the loo. If you search "rude" in the reviews you will see that we are not the only ones who experienced such horrible service. The whole incident totally spoilt the mood of the evening. We took our business to another restaurant nearby PEPE VESUVIUS which was a 180 degree turn on service, food and ambience. THINK TWICE before giving your business to this shitty restaurant. GOOD FOOD DOES NOT COMPENSATE FOR BAD BEHAVIOR!!!
Be the first to ReplyWhile waiting for a table we requested to use the restroom.
The hostess was shockingly rude, denied us access to the restroom, and asked us to use a nearby public loo instead. When confronted, we were given a flimsy excuse as to why we couldn't use the loo as waiting customers. Other 1 star reviews show we're not the only brown people to be mistreated here. We were excited to try the food but left upset and humiliated.
Be the first to ReplyOh, no! I am saddened to be having to write this updated
Oh, no! I am saddened to be having to write this updated review. We have moved away from the Monterey Bay since my last review, but every time we come for a visit we always make it a point to dine at Dametra Cafe. We were disappointed in our most recent experience, especially in comparison to our previous experiences. First, they cram customers into every inch of the restaurant now. Unless you're seated on the perimeter of the restaurant, you will be seated nearly on top of other people and will have workers and customers walking past you the entire time. Service was lacking, no special attention. Again, this wouldn't be such a problem if we didn't come to expect amazing service from Dametra like in the past. We had to ask for our dishes to be cleared and water to be refilled a few times. Worst of all, our food really wasn't anything to rave about. All of the meat was DRY. We ate everything because we hate wasting food and the meal was expensive (over $100 for two lunch entrees and an appetizer). Unfortunately we won't be back again.
Be the first to ReplyFreaking amazing! 1000 thumbs up! I don't even know where
Freaking amazing! 1000 thumbs up! I don't even know where to begin. My family loved everything about this place and so did I. We ended up here second choice chance to another place in Carmel with raving reviews on Yelp that couldn't accommodate. And I'm so glad we ended up at Demetras Cafe.We showed up 10 minutes early @7:50pm they sat us right away, in a window facing Ocean Avenue. The staff know what they're doing here, the vibe is on point and everyone was in a good mood. The staff were so attentive, entertaining and interactive. They busted out the guitar, the drums and started singing! I'm not kidding the whole restaurant got up and started dancing. Apparently they only to the live entertainment during dinner time. My husband loves clam chowder, the menu said it was the "Best Clam Chowder" and they weren't lying. Steak was perfect, shrimp and crab ravioli in creamy pesto was to die for. Mom loved the pasta and prawns. If you like lamb it's a MUST!! Complementary baklava, and it was the BEST I have ever had, no joke. like I said before, these guys really know what they are doing here. From the ambiance to the food, it's all good! If you want a one of kind unique experience, I highly recommend Demetra Cafe.
Be the first to ReplySo good.
Hands down the best Mediterranean food and service. Getting up to dance was unexpected and fun.
Be the first to ReplyBest Gyro ever and I order it a lot.
The meat was delicious- very fresh and succulent. The started bread is amazing along with great desserts!

Review based only on a facecto face interaction with hostess. Are you kidding me....blech! We were SO excited to arrive at this lively, beautifully located, highly Yelp rated restaurant! We were so excited to be a part of the fun! Went to the hostess to put in our name, there were what looked like 6-8 people waiting. The hostess was so abominable.....so absolutely rude and unfriendly. Our excitement turned to despair in an instant. YuckNever again....too many other choices in this area.
Be the first to ReplyI used to make a trip to Carmel once a year in my early
I used to make a trip to Carmel once a year in my early 20's and this was my go to spot. Even after many years, I come back here and it's the same. Although I'm not a local, I know this place has been around for over a decade and then some. When I used to come here there was a nice gentleman of this establishment that would sing once for about 10 min of every hour. Although, I didn't see that gentleman this evening, it doesn't mean I didn't have a good time here. Imagine this, you're in downtown Carmel. You've just went to the beach or walked around and did some sites being/shopping and it's getting close to meal time. You don't want something too heavy, but still filling. Why not try here? I've tried just about everything on this menu and everything is delicious. However, my go to main entree is always the combination plate that comes with gyro, one skewer of chicken kabob, rice pilaf, pita, hummus, a Greek salad and a side of tzaziki sauce. Don't get me wrong this entree is enough to feed 2 people, but left overs are good too. It's a massive amount of food. Their service, although short handed was still great. Now that they have outdoor seating with the beautiful weather if the winds aren't too strong. Also, the baklava is amazing. Although slightly different because they use almonds and walnuts, they ย Do not disappoint with the honey drizzle. Really amazing. Don't just take my word for it, come see for yourself.
Be the first to ReplyThe best Mediterranean food you'll ever have.
I just took some visiting family members here and they couldn't stop raving about the food. You can't go wrong with anything here. Our favorites are the combo platter, salads, falafel wrap, and crab ravioli (the sauce is to die for, I save the extra sauce and dip everything in it the next day).

I'm sure if I had my suit on when picking up my online order I would've been treated with more respect. But since I was not going to dine-in at your establishment I was dressed in casual attire (hoodie) and obviously I was judged on my appearance. Being told to please wait a second for an order that was ready (I could see the bag sitting in left back corner of your restaurant) ย and instead having to stand outside for 15 minutes in 50 degrees evening weather was not a joy and very disrespectful. I don't care how busy you are... you have to take care of your customers. I'm sure the food would've been great if I didn't have microwave it when I came home. You wasted my time and that of your kitchen staff. Never again and I will make sure to warn my clients and friends.
