$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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I genuinely loved the entire meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the menu was easy to read and understand. My only complaint was paying $6 for a very small bottle of Acqua Panna water. I know it's a premium brand, but that price for such a small bottle felt excessive. Other than the water situation, I had a great experience and will definitely return. The food alone is worth coming back for!

The laid-back vibe invites you to savor the moment, complemented by their excellent hot tea service and incredibly reasonable breakfast prices. I love hanging out on the patio with a nice pot of tea. My favorite dish is their sunny-side-up eggs, uniquely crafted to resemble poached eggs while retaining their own distinct appeal. The satisfaction of breaking them open with a fork is unmatched. They pair these eggs with a subtly sweet bread reminiscent of French toast, though you can easily request a substitution to suit your preference. Their soups are equally remarkable, offering comforting flavors that linger long after your visit. To top it off, the staff exudes warmth and attentiveness, even going the extra mile to provide your furry friend with a water bowl. Our server has always been attentive and friendly.

For those who might get lost trying to find it, they're pretty much right across the street from Burger King. After I finally located them and walked in, it looked odd since it felt like almost behind the counter, but you can just walk around to the dining room and the front of the counter. I was recommended a couple of choices and went with the Black Angus Steak Shawarma as a Laffa wrap ($24.50). The employee had me walk over to the Chipotle-esque assembly area after and then walked me through the choices. I recall getting hummus, a mild green sauce of some kind, raw sumac onions, fried onions, fried eggplant, cucumber, pico de gallo, and purple slaw. Then the cool stuff happened when he offered to let me sample some sauce and then get multiple sauces on the side. The curry mango amba is some really challenging stuff that resembled something I've tried at some Indian lunch buffet ages ago, so I'm glad I didn't get it on the wrap. The creamy BBQ aioli (kinda like a sweeter fry sauce, I felt), dill & roasted garlic mayo, and tahini were all better options, the former going especially well with my included side of fries while the dill plays a great supporting role and the tahini just does its thing. I sat down and got to the actual wrap, and it was delicious. The laffa is fluffy and thicker than I thought it might be; it ain't a lavash, that's for sure. The steak is pretty tender, often has that char from the vertical rotisserie it was carved from, and free from chewy bits. It has a nice warming spice rub which you can get more easily before starting to experiment with sauces. All three aforementioned choices worked. Overall, it isn't cheap (especially if you don't have cash on-hand to avoid the surcharge), but I enjoyed it. I also got a bottled lemonade ($4.95) of some sort which they've imported from Israel. It had a little more actual lemon character than American brands, and I kinda plowed through that thing pretty quickly. I'm kinda curious whether the mango, peach, or grape options would have also worked. Shawarma Paradise is a very good, albeit pricey option for steak shawarma and likely for other protein needs. Check them out if you get the craving, as I'm not confident that there are many if any better spots around.
