Damoka is excellent! My uncle was visiting from Florida, and he previously owned a Persian rug store there. I thought it would be a great idea to show him this magnificent store while he was here. Alex Helmi, the president of Damoka, was very kind and knowledgable. I will definitely return when I am ready to purchase or repair a Persian rug.
