Dametra Fresh Mediterranean - Toss It with gyro and tzatziki - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

I don't usually choose this genre of food, so I was lucky to join a friend at the new restaurant at The Dunes. She was working at the nearby Timber Fire (Big Sur) & needed a hearty meal before returning to her hotel for the night. She had one of the lamb wraps with a salad. It was HUGE & provided her leftovers. Wildland fire crews have a tough job & eating enough calories during their shifts is important. She said it was very tasty. I wasn't very hungry & don't usually eat alot of animal products, so I opted for the kids' cheese pizza with fresh olives. It was pretty bad. The olives weren't the best kind for cheesy pizza -- too flavorful & competed with the pizza. The crust was awful -- thick & flavorless. The cheese -- too much & boring. My dinner was a bust. My small Diet Coke was perfect. I won't return, but if you're the kinda person who loves Mediterranean-style wraps, this is your place!! read more

I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich, which was listed on the menu as coming with a salad. The woman who took my order asked which meat I wanted? Um.....chicken. Then she asked if I wanted lettuce with it. Sure, okay. I've never ordered this sandwich before and thought I would try something different. She asked which two sides did I want with it. I told her the menu board said it came with salad. It sounded like she thought I was ordering a shawarma plate, which maybe does come with sides dishes. A man behind the counter spoke loudly to her (and me?) saying the sandwich doesn't have lettuce. I don't know how they make their sandwiches; she just asked if a I wanted lettuce. He seemed very irritated about a few pieces of lettuce in the sandwich. He asked me did I order a classic? I pointed to the item on the menu and read what it said the ingredients consisted of. He loudly stated that's a classic! Okay. It's classic. Fine. He took over making the sandwich. The woman rang me up. I felt sorry for her, having to work for someone who behaves so aggressively to an employee and a customer. I paid and was happy to leave and will not be returning. I feel badly for the woman. It's possible she was a new employee and maybe not fully familiar with the menu. Nobody should have to endure that kind of treatment. read more

As you can see, I already grubbed before taking the pic, because it was so DELICIOUS!!!!! this spot is a gem, quick in and out. The food was so good, I got the kids plate and they bless up on the kids portions because I was fully satisfied!! The spinach pastry was so good too. 10/10 service was easy, nice staff, very clean and cute inside! read more

Dametra Fresh Mediterranean - Kids Plate & Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

If this place was closer to me, I'd eat here more often. Sadly, I live many hours away. Stopped in late night on a road trip. The food was fresh and the service was quick. I was pleased to see there was a full bar. I didn't have time to drink and have fun, but next time for sure. The chicken shawarma and gyro meat were fantastic. The hummus was delicious and the veggies were fresh and flavorful. Its a casual spot. read more

Perfect spot to stop for a quick bite to eat. Decent prices and incredible portions! I had the Gyro Plate with hummus and a Greek salad. Unfortunately, I ate before I could even think about taking a picture. It was so good! At the end of my meal, I totally dropped my entire plate and drink on the ground making a huge mess! Whoops... however the lady was kind and assured me it was okay. I definitely cleaned up the most I could but I'm still sorry I made such a mess upon my departure. I will definitely be returning to this establishment when I'm on that side of the Bay. Hopefully my leftovers will stay in my hands next time! Highly recommend! read more

After my first visit , I have been here twice and both the time the servers were rude. Food quality is same but they are not the only Mediterranean place in the city and I believe servers should not be rude for whatever reasons . Customers pay for service and food, if one factor goes wrong , it makes a huge difference. I hope they sort this out. it's a shame that the food being good, I might not come here again. read more

The food is authentic and accurate but not awesome tasting!! Nice, clean place and it has General Stilwells actual soldiers club bar in the back which is awesome. It was taken out before the soldiers club fell into the ocean. Staff is friendly and receptive to your needs. read more

I ordered two mini Mediterranean plates off of the kids menu. The gal behind the counter took out two containers and started to make the order. She added rice, salad, and then automatically started adding meat to the plate. I was confused because I wasn't even asked what protein I wanted. I stopped her and said, "I'm sorry, I wanted mini Mediterranean plates with falafel, no meat." She immediately got irritated and said, "Well the mini plates come with only rice, hummus, and pita." WHICH IS WHAT I WANTED. She quickly closed up the containers and walked them to the back. Her coworker offered to remake our order, but the way I was treated left a bad taste in my mouth, so I said nevermind and left. I'm completely confused as to why I was treated so poorly by the gal who took my order. read more

The food isn't very good, but it's okay--nothing life-changing--and it's a bit pricey. Some employees don't seem to enjoy what they're doing, or maybe that's just their faces, while others are friendly. The restaurant was clean. read more

Service was super helpful and friendly. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back.

Love this place & the food! Aside from the delicious food too, especially my favorite...the beef & lamb wraps, they serve some of the best "steak" fries I've ever had. But also important to me is the service. Each time I've come, I've been welcomed with smiles .& quick service. Dimitri, the owner, is a gracious host and will answer any questions one has. The staff also are friendly & helpful. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh & delicious food, served with smiles & warmth. read more

This place is such a gem. I have been a fan since 2018 and am glad that this Marina location had opened. It's located in a shopping plaza with lots of other wonderful businesses with easy to find parking. My go-to order is a half chicken shawarma& falafel wrap for a total of $16. You really pay for the quality ingredients, and they pack their wraps with so much food that I usually only eat half for lunch and save the other half for dinner! Service is so fast, meat always so juicy and cooked to serve, and vegetables are so fresh and crunchy. Such a great alternative for healthy, quick food service! read more

Dametra Fresh Mediterranean - Inside seating - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

I actually can't remark on the food, because I didn't eat it. When I arrived today, I ordered a gyro wrap, customized with the veggies, cheese and sauce I wanted. The portion size was very large, like a big burrito. When the server rang it up, I provided my credit card, and the system kept churning. She apologized and said the internet had been working slow today. We tried multiple times over the course of ten minutes, with various cards and various methods (tap and inserting chip). She even asked if I had Zelle or ApplePay (I don't). Finally she called the manager and he or she said try one more time and if that didn't work, take down my info, presumably so they could enter it later. I told her I wasn't comfortable leaving my credit card number and she said I could leave my phone number and they would call and take the number. I decided that was not secure either, so I told her nicely that i preferred to just forget about the whole thing. So I left my big wrap on the counter and hope it doesn't go to waste. No offer to give it to me for free, so I assume their margins are very very slim. But not good to waste and see your customers leave with nothing either. read more

Workers seem to just not like their job, going to assume it probably has to do with management. Food is good but not the best Mediterranean I have ever had, but will do to satisfy the cravings. Interior seemed clean but we took the food to go, didn't dine in. read more

I'm not sure how I have not reviewed Dametra yet as it has become one of my favorite restaurants. Demetri's Greek salad dressing is the most amazing dressing I've ever had. The pairing of the feta with the salty and spicy dressing is absolutely phenomenal. I love the chicken kebabs and Gyros. The hummus is flavorful and perfectly presented. Overall, the ambience of the restaurant is quiet and soothing, I love going in sitting down and eating dinner. It's one of my favorite places to go in Marina. The staff is always friendly and happy to suggest food options. read more

The Dametra crew don't disappoint ! ... I've been a long time super fan of the owners of Dametra and their other ventures, TBH they work so incredibly hard it's pretty humbling !. anyhow, we never had reason to venture to their Marina location but with the storms knocking out most of the area it was time. A needed trip the new Trader Joe's and we figured a perfect excuse to get a Giro fix.. It's felt markably bigger than the Mundas location, staff were great, food fresh and tasty.. Nothing to say here except it checked the boxes and was a very satisfying respite from the storm repairs. Highly recommended, congrats chaps, that locations gonna be a goldmine for you ! read more

A Must-Visit Gem - Dametra! Absolutely loved my experience at Dametra! The chicken shawarma wrap was hands down one of the best I've ever had -- packed with flavor, perfectly wrapped, and beautifully presented. You can tell they put real heart into their food and service. Huge shoutout to Hamada and Dmitri for making the experience even better -- their hospitality, energy, and attention to detail made me feel right at home. If you're in town and want amazing food with top-tier service, Dametra is the spot. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Dametra Fresh Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

Food is mostly delicious. The only exceptions are the changes they've made over the last year or 2. The salad lettuce is now spring mix. Mine had a lot of slimy pieces. I like the old romaine or regular iceberg they use to serve. Additionally, they are only serving 1/2 a pita bread piece with your plate. I paid extra to get a whole piece not knowing it's not the same as it used to be. It was tough to chew, and you could not open it to fill with rice, falafel, greens n sauce. read more

Let me tell you... Ive passed this place 100 times and never thought to go in until today. It was clean, the staff was extraordinarily professional and the servings for what you pay are FANTASTIC. I have a very sensitive stomach and get sick easily. The food was fresh and the quality high. My husband and I spent the ENTIRE dinner talking about how great it was - and we hate everything lol. We are going to be back very soon - frequently read more

Sadly disappointed in the amount of food for the price. A chicken plate only gives you one small kebab with 3 cubes per of chicken. Would to have a little more protein in a meal that costs almost $20. Plus a side of fries was $8?? Prices are a little steep. read more

Dametra Fresh Mediterranean - Chicken kebab plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Marina, California

I've only eaten here once. The other times were all to-go orders. Ordering has always been fast and painless. :) Love their food! It tastes fresh and healthy (I get the falafel plate or wrap or salad). But today things seem to have changed when we got food to go. I had asked my daughter to get my usual falafel salad and it came with barely any dressing! Of course my daughter doesn't know how much is enough and she relies on the people making the food to make it like they've always had. Inflation? I'd rather pay a few more cents than not be able to enjoy my $14 salad. Todays salad felt like eating just lettuce and falafel. Can't taste the dressing at all! Another thing was they didn't label the one wrap out of 3 that we ordered with hummus! So do they expect us to open each one to see which one has hummus or just leave it to chance that the one who didn't like hummus hopefully doesn't get it?? I understand the possibility of new employees might have worked on our order but please train them or provide supervision in the beginning. read more

Convenient location with great service and a full menu of healthy, delicious options from Spanakopita to Baklava.

Dametra is an interesting restaurant found in a shopping center in South Marina. Inside this Mediterranean restaurant, you can also purchase bottles of wine & liquor, and connected to the restaurant is a sports bar. There is a lovely outdoor seating area that has heaters at every table for those foggy Marina days. The bathrooms area very clean. They have high chairs for infants/toddlers. As for the food, I had the falafel, rice, hummus & babaganoush on a plate. I wasn't blown away with the meal. The falafel was overcooked and the babaganoush seemed like it sat out too long. The saving grace of this establishment is all of the other amenities provided. Price: $46 (dinner for 2; w/ 20% tip) read more

Demetras is always a must-visit everyone I return to my hometown. If the owners see this, I would love it if they returned to the old tzatziki recipe! The current one, at least as of November 16, shockingly lacked flavor. read more

Fresh and yummy spot for lunch. I thought the salad was five stars (one of the best Greek salads I have ever had) and service was so friendly. The mint tea hit the spot too! The ambiance was kind of confusing with the bar also in there/part of the restaurant but on the side in the back. read more

We were on a business trip. Staying near by.... When we arrived it was already busy with Happy Hour. We were immediately seated in the back called The General (the bar in back of the restaurant). Our server (possible owner), got our drinks, was cheerful and provided information about our food. I ordered the appetizer sampler and my friend ordered falafel fries. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The debate was on all the TVs, and plus it was Happy Hour so the place was loud and everyone was having a good time. Towards the end of our dinner, the owner shared a little about himself and his restaurant. It is obvious he is very proud, and cares about the quality which is produced at his restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place! The staff, the quality of the food and vibe were perfect. We would definitely return, what a great time!! read more

It's typically a mall-type eatery. Overall, the flavor profile was good, the ambiance was fair, and the customer service was good.

I am Greek .. the menu seems more middle eastern.. food is just okay .. was hoping for great Greek food like we make at home ..

They used to give you more food. They raised the price and give you way less food. Why is it $18 for very little food that is mediocre. Never coming back here. read more

Quality food. Fresh produce. I appreciated getting to try the different sauces. Nice, fast dinner.

One of my top go-to spots in Marina. I've frequented this place numerous times since it opened a few years ago. It follows a Chipotle-style delivery model, but in my opinion, offers a much healthier choice. I usually opt for the plated option with chicken shawarma on a bed of greens, and the fresh flavors are fantastic--you get to control the choices. The staff is generally friendly and accommodating, and they provide both indoor and outdoor seating. For those interested in a cocktail, they have a side room with a speakeasy vibe. I highly recommend this place for dine-in or take-out. read more

I normally give the business an opportunity to remediate my concerns but the meal was incredibly dry, salty and not a good value so getting more of the same or attempting to cure was not likely to address my need for dinner. The staff were friendly and professional, unfortunately, the food was just not a good value or a choice to be repeated. read more
