Terrible food!
This is NOT a Mediterranean restaurant at all. As someone who’s been to Turkey and Greece, and dined at authentic Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area, this place is just a pass-off.
If you’ve experienced authentic Mediterranean food before, don’t waste your time at this place. This is Mexican food passing off as Mediterranean food.

We had an unforgettable lunch at Dametra Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea. We started with the Dametra Royal Combo and Grilled Jumbo Prawns — both appetizers were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For the main course, we enjoyed the Lamb Shank, which was fall-off-the-bone tender and deeply satisfying.
To top off the experience, we had the pleasure of meeting Bashar, the gracious and charismatic owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home, and his passion for food shines through every dish. He even surprised us with Baklava on the house, a sweet and thoughtful gesture that sealed the perfect meal.
From the warm ambiance to the phenomenal Mediterranean flavors, this place is a true gem. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!

A Delicious Discovery at Dametra Fresh in Monterey
Walking into Dametra Fresh Mediterranean, we were greeted with the aroma of grilled meats, warm spices, and baked pita—an instant promise of something special. The atmosphere was clean, casual, and inviting, perfect for a relaxed but satisfying meal.
We started with a spread of Tzatziki and Hummus, both rich and flavorful. The pita was warm and pillowy—exactly how it should be. The Falafel offered a nice crunch with a soft, herbed interior that didn’t disappoint.
Our table quickly filled with Mediterranean classics. The Chicken Shawarma was tender and well-seasoned, while the Chicken Kabob had that smoky, grilled finish that made each bite better than the last. The real surprise was the Ultimate Vegan Delight—vibrant, hearty, and layered with fresh ingredients that made it anything but an afterthought.
For dessert, we couldn’t skip the Baklava. It was buttery and sweet with just the right amount of crunch—an indulgent way to finish the meal.
Service was quick and friendly, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in what they serve. Whether you’re eating in or grabbing something fresh on the go, Dametra Fresh is a true standout. We’ll absolutely be back. Five stars!

Just wow!!!! The chicken across the board was amazing!!! Across different meals, the quality stayed the same in deliciousness.
The sauces help make a difference, as you have plenty of options to choose from. Simply put, there is something on the menu for everyone in your party or family.
The inside atmosphere is pleasant and nice, with subtle wall decor and a quick service line to get your food; get to see it made right in front of you:)
Great location and just a top quality place to get your Shwarma on! Love the name as well…the blend of Damascus and Petra…brilliant!

If a takeout place will charge $40 plus at least make it worth it. Not sure if both Monterey and Marina are under the same ownership but Monterey could learn a thing or two from Marina. Went near close time and they had plenty of ingredients to give good sized portions. Employee who prepared our order was acting as if the food was hers by the portions she gave us. I asked for all the fixings and tells me that more than 3 fixings will be .75 extra per fixing. Marina does not charge extra anymore and the quality of the food was abysmal as was the service. If they dont want to serve good quality then maybe they should hire better employees and train them on how to prepare a good sized portion meal.

We ordered a couple of wraps via DoorDash. Whoever wrapped the chicken schwarma wrap did a really bad job. Ingredients everywhere. See photo. They also did not label the wraps so we had to open one to figure out what was inside. Usually this place takes better care.

Stopped by with my family for dinner before heading to the movies. For those who haven’t been by before it’s like heading to Subway but with Mediterranean food. The person who made my wrap knew that I couldn’t decide what to put in the wrap so she decided for me. Despite her choosing for me, she still checked in with me making sure that I could handle certain ingredients.
The wrap was great and you can tell how fresh the ingredients were. Though when I opened the foil my wrap was stuck to it and it got ripped open. My lil sister loved her platter as this was her first time trying out this place.
The place is rather small so not much indoor seating if you come with a group bigger than four since there was only two tables to fit groups of four. It was a clean and tidy atmosphere that was welcoming as you walked in the door.

Excellent food and experience. We worked with Viviana to cater a 50+ person party, and she exceeded our expectations! Not only was the food delicious and a hit at the party, but Viviana took the time to let us sample each option, delivered the food to our location, helped us set up the food, and was great at communicating. We will definitely get catering from Demetra again! If you haven’t had their food, check them out!

We stopped here to charge our car and grab some lunch. The wraps were very filling but the lavash felt a bit dry and heavy. Otherwise tasty. The dolmas were also tasty and filling.
