Dametra Cafe - Carmel

We started with the clam chowder soup, and it was fantastic—definitely a must-try! If you're looking for something substantial, the sandwiches are a great choice; they come in generous portions that are quite filling. The entrees are enough for two people, but for one, I recommend sticking with a sandwich. I had the chicken shawarma, and it was truly amazing, served with tahini sauce that was the best I've ever tasted. We also ordered a falafel wrap and the lamb shish kebab. The falafel wrap is categorized under sandwiches and is perfect for one person, while the lamb shish kebab is a larger dish that can easily satisfy two. To top off our meal, they treated us to complimentary baklava, which was the perfect sweet ending to our delicious lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent, and the bathrooms are clean. The management is attentive, and the service is top-notch. We had a fantastic lunch and then headed to the beach. This restaurant is truly a must-try!

This restaurant is undoubtedly one of the coziest and most delightful places to eat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are equally friendly. There are several vegetarian options available, and the team is accommodating of special vegetarian requests. Located right in the heart of downtown, the cafe is surrounded by numerous shops, galleries, and other attractions, giving it a charming small-town European feel. When it comes to the food, everything is skillfully prepared and beautifully presented. While you might have to wait a bit for a table, it's definitely worth the wait.

The Greek food here is absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes! It's likely the best Greek cuisine I've ever tasted. The service is not only quick but also friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated!

Wow, what a VIBE!!! Best live music I’ve seen in a restaurant, the musicians integrated with the guests so well. Regarding food: we ordered the labneh, spanakopita and lamb. First two dishes were good but just a bit too salty. Portion sizes were excellent. We ordered the chocolate fudge cake and they provided some complimentary baklava as we were celebrating a birthday. Overall great service, decent food and amazing music/ambience.

The is a very popular place. We came at 2:40pm for lunch and it was full. The food taste nice except for the steak. The portion is not very big. With 2 glass of wines it can easily cost you $60+ each.
