$13.99 AYCE includes meat, nondairy, and some vegan items. Such an amazing deal!!!!!!
Diana W.

Amazing deals! $13.99 AYCE includes meat, nondairy, and some vegan items. $12 Deal for Ground beef, chicken or lamp wrap with fries. Found via Too Good to Go App for $5.49!! Too Good to Go App (leftover food): $5.49 9pmish I bought the last 1 portion left for 9pm-945pm. Totally worth it. Around 945pm ending, anything leftover could be free (please tip well!); we couldn't stay that long for that possibly opportunity. - It was actually really good. Variety packed so we got to try alot of items from different veggies, fish, rice and more. Definitely plan to try their $13.99 deal next time! Staff was super nice. Explained everything. And even when through the buffet line of what had dairy and what doesn't!! Looking forward to coming back!! And dining in!

My first review was with a fantastic experience. We went back recently for lunch but the price went up to $20. When we wanted Lamb Shank ! It used to be included. $40. For two people ?! The options on the hot side were more like veggies and not very much protein. We declined to eat for that price. It's a very friendly place but the highlight was the large tender Lamb shank.

If you want to taste a bunch of Mediterranean dishes, teas and desserts, then the weekday lunch buffet is your best bet. It also includes one serving of a HUGE LAMB SHANK and that makes it worth the price of the $20 weekday lunch buffet! Lots of proteins, salads and rice choices. Best part is that the majority of the dishes are NOT spicy but flavorful and not garlic heavy. One can see the dill and other spices in their dishes. The lentil soup was the spiciest dish for me. I liked the large sized plates, too. Walk up to the counter/cashier and order FIRST. Friendly workers. Clean kitchen and buffet area. Lots of hand sanitizer. Lots of parking. I think the owner was sitting near us. Guy Fieri has stopped in for a past visit. They also have a quick buffet take-out/one trip plate sold by weight. The ala carte bowls/plates are all under $20. A great quick, clean and easy place for great Mediterranean food.

So I came to eat here the other day when I saw something on Instagram or Facebook. They were advertising the $13.99 all you can eat and it includes tea, lemonade, water and coffee. With the tax and everything it's roughly 15 bucks. When I came here, the parking was plenty. The outside of the place looks like there is outside seating as well. When I came in the guy seems informative at the register to let me know what's included and what's not included. The place was small, but there was several people sitting down already eating. I went to go get a drink and it said a small plastic cup. I got half lemonade half tea. The only thing that would make it better is if ice was available. I want to get a plate and got a bunch of different things to eat. The salad was very fresh and tasty. The rice options were on the dry side and not fluffy. And I think it's stems from all of the food being underneath a heating area. The pita bread was also dry. I love spaghetti, but the one here is also on the dry side with crispy areas. The veggies were a little bit overcooked. The lentils with carrots was tasty. The white fish was yummy! All of the cold stuff like Tzatziki, dolmades, and hummus was OK nothing special. The skewers though was fresh and hot right out of the grill. It was moist and fluffy. I was expecting more of a little bit of a dense meaty mouth feel but it was not that. It was still decent though. All the chicken options was not my favorites. The fruit was OK as well seemed fresh. Pastry puff was okay. Overall, it did not exceed my expectations. For the price range, though it was decent. If you are not a picky eater, and want to fill up your belly then this place would be OK for you. The guy that was working there was super friendly and nice! It was nice chatting with him. He was awesome. Five star for him. Two star for the FOOD. Three stars overall.

Chickpeas in on the corner of Jones and flamingo is an absolute delight. The buffet offer so many favorites, fresh and plentiful. I really enjoyed the lamb shank, the lentil soup and the fresh tzatziki sauce. Weekends are slightly higher, but well worth the money which you pay for this meal anywhere else. Strongly recommend.

Tried this Mediterranean buffet recently. They have two locations, but the Rainbow one was closed, so we ended up going to their Flamingo location. The place is halal and has a cozy vibe, though it's quite small with limited seating. The food was just okay overall. The variety was pretty limited, and it seemed like only one lady was managing everything, which might explain the slower service and lack of options. The BBQ-style chicken was probably the highlight for me--it had good flavor. However, the rice was dry, and there weren't many salad choices. Desserts were disappointing. They felt dry, and the baklava was overly sweet and too syrupy. Overall, it didn't quite meet expectations. I've definitely had much better Mediterranean food elsewhere, so this one wasn't a favorite for me.

Yet another place my husband found on YouTube. We had to drive across town. Parking was available and free. The place is very small without a lot of seating. You can sit outside if weather permits. We were seated without waiting after paying about $22 a person. It wasn't too busy at about 2 pm. The buffet was not a long one. Some of the items were gone and didn't refill. Our timing was obviously off. I didn't know what some of the items were because they weren't marked. Most of the dishes I tried didn't taste very good. Each person could get 2 desserts. The most memorable dishes were a creamy chicken soup and the rice pudding. I didn't care for the baklava sadly because I love it. The drinks left a lot to be desired. The staff were nice enough and our dishes were cleared. Overall there wasn't much here to warrant more than a two star rating. We have been to Indian buffets that cost less and the food is better.

For an AYCE place, I'll say it's a good value considering what is offered and the taste of the food. There are many options from salads, meats to sweets. You can get the big lamb shank once, all items are AYCE. Lemonade and teas are included in the buffet. You go to the counter to pay first, then find your own seats and pick a plate to pick the food. They come by from time to time to clean up your dirty plates. For the food, I will say it's fair. Most of the items are a little bit too salty. Some items, especially meats and foshes are a little bit old to me when I went. It's an eatery type local place, nothing fancy.

Excellent Experience -- A Hidden Gem in Las Vegas!!! They are located only a couple of miles from the Strip at the corner of the W Flamingo Rd./ S Jones Blvd. They offer all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant with a wide variety of delicious Mediterranean, Indian, and Iranian dishes. The food is fresh and delicious. Literally they have 30 options that you can choose from : kebabs, wraps , salads, pizzas , bowls, plates , they offer from savory foods to sweets dishes and they do have Halal options for meat and they do have seafood as well. This place is absolutely incredible ,both the buffet and the takeaway options are excellent . The quality and taste of the food are way above expectations, especially considering how affordable the prices are. For only $20 bucks all you can eat Mediterranean food is just outstanding. It honestly feels like you're getting luxury-level food for a fraction of the cost. They have inside and outside seating area .The ambience is casual and relaxed, very comfortable chairs. It is located in a shopping plaza with a large parking area. The staff are polite, respectful, and genuinely welcoming ,they make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. That kind of hospitality makes a huge difference, which is very rare and very hard to get in Vegas. If you are looking for a really friendly budget Buffet place for Mediterranean food in Las Vegas this is a must stop and you will not be disappointed. We highly recommend it!!!

The buffet here is very reasonably priced and they have quite a variety of items to choose from. I enjoyed the buffet, but in all fairness I feel I need to point out a couple of shortcomings. One of the leading items in the buffet is their lamb shanks, which are limited to one to a customer. I enjoy lamb, but unfortunately, I thought this lamb shank was of poor quality. The meat was tough and it was quite tasteless. They also offered shrimps with cocktail sauce, which looked quite tempting, but they turned out to be quite rubbery and not very appetizing. That being said, there were many other items in the buffet that I really enjoyed. I particularly liked the meatballs. They are served in a delicious mediterranean style sauce. As in just about any buffet, it pays to be choosy and go for the items you like most.

Was my mom's plate a little bit of this little bit of that from the buffet
Melissa D.

This place is such a hidden gem! It's small family owned authentic delicious Mediterranean food very reasonably priced. You cannot be there lunch buffet. My mom and I like to come here for lunch every so often. Every single thing I've tried on their buffet line is so delicious. Everything is super fresh season perfectly and cooked to perfection as well. The food is not hiding in a sugary, salty sauce to mask the pork quality. The fruits, vegetables and proteins are all top-notch. If you come at lunchtime, the small dining room can get very busy and the tables are set up so you may end up sharing a table with somebody you don't know my mom and I have that happened to us today which we were OK with it but if you're not, this might not be a spot for you at prime lunchtime. You can however, get food to go if that's not your jam. Something I had today that I have not seen on their menu before was the turkey cheese pastry wrap oh my goodness out of this world! This is our favorite Mediterranean spot for casual delicious food in Las Vegas!

Cheryll R.

I'll start with I didn't enjoy much for the $25.00 buffet. Everything I saw on Yelp said $20 but Fri-Sun is $25. I enjoyed the dolmas, the hummus was delicious, & the pita was decent... and 1 of chicken dishes grilled was delicious too. The thing they put out called falafels were definitely NOT falafel, it was like a vegetable fritter (disappointed). The desserts were DRENCHED in rosewater. I would much rather pay more for better food.

Hello, Is all meat Zabiha halal? Can you tell me where do you get your meat supply from?…

Hi, Restaurant depot.

Hi there, is the food Halal?

I don't think so. Probably best to call them and ask. I don't remember seeing Halal posted. Folks usually advertise that.

Are there any peanut concerns on the buffet?

Avoid hummus as the tahini may have peanuts. Our salad dressing has soy sauce in it if that is a concern

Does the buffet actually start at 9:00am?

Hi, and thanks for asking. We are open from 9 am for orders but Min.- Thurs. the Buffet starts at 11 am and goes to 9 pm. Fri, Sat. and Sunday it starts from 10 am to 9 pm

Hello. Do you have Halal certificates. ? Saw you on DDD. Husband and I are coming in a couple of weeks. Would love to try your food. Let us know. Sincerely, Debbie

Yes, an Imam has certified our meats.

Hi. Will couscous be available in the future?

That would be a question to directly ask the restaurant themselves. This is a forum to learn of other people's experiences.

No more sabzi?

When do u need it for

Are the meat kosher/halal?

They're Halal. Unfortunately, we dont have kosher certification...

Is this restaurant 100% halal certified?

Hi Amber. We are not certified but the meats are.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

The six-course prix fixe menu is $75 and honestly feels more like 12 courses because the portions are HUGE. Even dining solo, you get the full experience, so come hungry or be ready to take plenty home! My standouts were the shrimp and hummus, but there was so much delicious food throughout the meal. And the drinks! If you're going to splurge, get the $50 Magic Carpet. It's absolutely delicious and made with fig liqueur from Morocco. The belly dancers were incredibly talented, and if you're brave enough, they may even invite you up to join them! This was such a fun experience and a great reminder to venture off the Las Vegas Strip. There's incredible food, amazing entertainment, and a little adventure waiting beyond the usual tourist spots. Highly recommend Marrakech!

They have many positive reviews, and I respect that other diners may have had different experiences. However, being very familiar with Persian cuisine and the traditional Persian dining experience, I believe customers should understand what they are receiving for the prices being charged. For lunch, I ordered à la carte: one skewer of ground beef koobideh and one skewer of ground chicken. My wife ordered the lamb shish kebab, which was approximately $34 and consisted of only about four relatively small pieces of lamb. The first thing that surprised us was the portion size. The kebabs were remarkably small compared with what we are accustomed to at established Persian restaurants such as Raffi's Place in Glendale, which has been serving the community for decades and is well known for both quality and generous portions. My larger concern is the overall value proposition. Too many things seemed to carry an additional charge. Bread is extra. Onions and vegetables are extra. Everything begins to feel à la carte, and by the time our relatively modest lunch for two was finished, we had spent approximately $70. There is nothing wrong with charging premium prices when the quality, portions, ingredients, and overall experience support those prices. We regularly dine at excellent Las Vegas restaurants, including Esther's Kitchen, where similar pricing provides substantially more food using excellent-quality ingredients. So this isn't about expecting inexpensive food or enormous portions. It's about receiving reasonable value for what you're paying. We also recently visited Raffi's Place in California and paid comparable prices while receiving dramatically larger portions and, in our opinion, a better overall product. That's why I don't believe this can simply be attributed to inflation or today's food costs. Persian hospitality has traditionally been associated with generosity. That doesn't mean restaurants should give food away or serve unnecessarily enormous portions, but guests shouldn't leave feeling that every small addition carries another charge or that the amount of food served doesn't correspond with the menu price. Another thing that caught my attention was how quiet the restaurant was during our Saturday afternoon visit. There was essentially only one other occupied table. In a city like Las Vegas, where successful restaurants can be extraordinarily busy, I believe that should encourage ownership to take a serious look at pricing, portion sizes, and the overall customer experience. My recommendation to ownership is straightforward: reconsider the portion sizes and the heavy à-la-carte approach. Focus less on incremental charges and more on providing a complete Persian dining experience that makes customers feel they received good value and want to return. I am giving Hafez three stars because I don't believe in tearing down a business, and there is certainly potential here. But based on our personal experience, the value simply wasn't there. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. A few meaningful adjustments to portions, pricing, and the overall concept could make a significant difference.

I may be a little biased in putting Greek cuisine among my favorite cuisines since I'm Greek myself, but truly, I have always had the best experiences at Milos. Between the undeniable hospitality, generous portions, beautifully prepared seafood, and warm atmosphere, dining here always makes me feel like I've been transported straight back to Greece. We're consistently treated so well, and it has become an absolute must-visit whenever I'm in Vegas. For this visit, we decided to treat ourselves to one of the fresh fish selections from the market. While it is definitely a pricier entrée, the fish was perfectly grilled, incredibly fresh, and generous portion for 3 guests. We also ordered quite a few small plates, starting with the Milos Special, which is hands-down my favorite dish on the menu. It's essentially a towering stack of perfectly crisp zucchini chips paired with chewy fried cheese cubes and decadent tzatziki. It's indulgent, delicious, and something I can never visit Milos without ordering. Of course, we had to get the Greek salad, it's a classic! The tomatoes were some of the sweetest, plumpest tomatoes, and the authentic Greek feta is always such a joy to enjoy. We also tried the trio of spreads, which was a lighter and refreshing way to start the meal. The cocktails were another highlight: refreshing, tart, and strong in the best way. My father also insists on getting the octopus every time we visit. In fact, he will only eat octopus from Milos, and he's the OG Greek in my family, so you KNOW it must be good. The octopus was perfectly prepared and definitely lived up to his standards. We also tried a fried soft-shell crab special, which was absolutely delectable. It was a fun addition to the meal. And naturally, we couldn't leave without dessert. We finished with the baklava cheesecake, which was the perfect ending. It had all those delicious baklava-inspired flavors without being overly sweet or heavy. I can never stop recommending Milos. It has consistently been a place for beautiful dining experiences, incredible Greek cuisine, generous portions, and, perhaps most importantly, wonderful memories with my family. Every visit feels a little bit like going back to Greece, and I'll always make it a point to return whenever I'm in Vegas!

The bar was full at the time, but luckily, after about 10 minutes, a couple left, and we were able to grab their seats. We started with the grilled octopus, then ordered the bigeye tuna with skordalia and baby beets and the halibut spetsiota with onions and tomatoes for our mains, along with a side of fingerling potatoes. The food came out pretty quickly. The octopus was delicious and cooked really well, but for $50, I was expecting a little more from the dish. I've definitely had better octopus elsewhere. I felt like it was missing a nice dressing or something to give it a little more flavor and bring the whole dish to life. The halibut was absolutely delicious and probably my favorite dish of the night. The fish itself was cooked beautifully. The grilled onion on the plate didn't really add much for me, though. I think something like grilled onions and cherry tomatoes together would have complemented the fish much better and added more flavor to the dish. The tuna was okay, but the skordalia was really delicious and paired very well with it. Unfortunately, our bartender forgot to put in the order for the fingerling potatoes when we ordered the rest of our food. By the time we realized they hadn't been ordered and they were eventually brought out, I only had a few bites of my fish left. It was disappointing since we specifically ordered them to have alongside our mains. Once the potatoes arrived, they were actually really delicious and went perfectly with the fish. The other thing that surprised me was that, despite the potatoes being so delayed because the order had been missed, there wasn't any adjustment to the bill or an offer to comp the side. Having worked in hospitality myself, I understand that mistakes happen, but I also think it's those small gestures that can make a big difference when something goes wrong with a meal. Overall, the food was very good, and the halibut was definitely the standout for me. We enjoyed our meal, but between the missed side and a few of the dishes not quite living up to what I expected at this price point, it was a 4-star experience for me.

This is a small location with very limited parking. There are only two spots directly in front, and the rest of the parking requires you to scan and pay, with only 15 minutes complimentary. Personally, I don't want to pay for parking when I'm stopping in for what is essentially a quick takeout-style meal. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy and there wasn't a table available. Luckily, one of the two spots in front opened up, so I had to go outside and move my car, which was honestly a bit of a hassle. They do have tables inside and, surprisingly for such a small location, they also have high chairs for little ones, which I really appreciated. The prices are pretty reasonable, too. They had a special today for a spicy chicken plate, which I ordered, and it was really tasty! I do wish it came with a side instead of a salad, but it wasn't a huge deal. My husband got the gyro and absolutely loved it. The fries were good, although they were pretty basic frozen fries and nothing spectacular. Overall, the food was good, prices were reasonable, and the staff/restaurant itself was nice. Unfortunately, the parking situation is a big negative for me. Having to pay to park or constantly worry about moving your car for a quick meal would probably keep me from coming back, even though we enjoyed the food.
