    Came in after a hike to refuel our bodies. Everything was very clean, I love they had gloves to wear for the patrons as they scoop thier selected dish onto thier plates! Plenty of options , salads, pizza, sauces, meat and vegatarian dishes with great tea options as well. The falafel was great as was the eggplant dip (forgot the name) . Plenty of seating for small and large parties! Would come back if in the area

    Overall, the food was delicious especially the hummus and the chicken mansaf. However for some reason, the staff would clear out all dirty dishes on the table even when I'm not done eating so in some cases other diners would take the table previously occupied even if that particular diner is still eating which is strange since there's no indicator or marker to tell who is sitting where.

    So when you first walk in it is seat yourself, and you pay at the end. Everything is self service so only one person really walking around cleaning up the plates. The place is big and clean, which is great. The reason I'm giving a three stars is just because I didn't think the food was that great. The pricing was fine. It was $20 so no biggie. They had a great selection in the salad bar so be your vegetarian. It's great. Now I have to say the hummus to me tasted weird. It was sweet, so it was not my cup of tea at all. When it came to the selection of meat, yeah they had a lot, but they weren't that tasty. The only one I liked was the Gyro, which was the mix of lamb and beef. The other selections were a little salty or no flavor or too fishy. They did have some selection that was typical, which was fried chicken and pizza. I'm assuming mainly for the kids. I will say the soups were really good. When it came to the pita bread, it was mediocre not something I would grab again. I just had no flavor. And then they had the sweet selection which was OK. It was nothing special. Overall, it was nice to try it once, but I just wouldn't go again.

    I haven't seen a Mediterranean buffet before, so I was excited to give this a try. The buffet includes drinks as well. The tamarind drink was good. They have freshly baked pita. The salads were fresh, and I enjoyed the beet salad in particular. We found some o the meats too dry (chicken, fried fish), but the ground meat options were good. Prices just went up ($20.99 weeknight dinner) but still good value for the meal.

    Everything you want in a buffet! Clean, reasonably priced, and so much good food! I especially loved their hibiscus tea and gyros. Can't wait to go back!!

    My first visit to DiMassi's and it won't be my last. I am always a little bit apprehensive about buffets with cleanliness and food safety, as well as food quality. They hit the marks on all of it. The place is absolutely spotless. The buffet items are continually being rotated out to ensure freshness. The selection is just incredible, and the food is so good. I LOVE the chicken soup so much. I like that there are a variety of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern salads, kebabs, dips, desserts, meats, and more. I had arugula salad, Greeks salad, cucumber salad, and tabouleh and they were fantastic. The pita was light and fluffy. The chicken kebabs and rice were YUM! Service was super friendly and attentive.

    Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in South Austin is a gem if you're craving Middle Eastern-Mediterranean flavors. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a huge selection of fresh dishes--from creamy hummus and crisp salads to flavorful shawarma and perfectly seasoned falafel. Plus, it's the cleanest all-you-can-eat with the great price tag so bring your appetite! This is the best deal in Austin for a cuisine that is not well represented! The price is great for the variety you get, and there's virtually zero wait time. Grab a plate and dive right in with no stress, no lines. Parking is also hassle-free, which is a big plus in Austin. The staff is friendly and keeps the buffet stocked, so you can focus on enjoying the food. For dessert, they do offer a few sweets, but there's room for improvement. Dimassi's is a solid place to hang out with friends, or just fill up on delicious dishes without breaking the bank. Great place for large groups as well. I'll definitely be back! Make sure you try the Kofte Kebab, Babaganush ( EggPlant) and and shredded beef. Dont skip the salad! This is your spot for weekdays and weekend lunch or dinner !

    Just a few of the selections they have available.

    We enjoy eating Mediterranean food so when my kids are in town they always like coming here. I've been to this specific location 3 times and always had a good experience & service. The food is decent and they have a good selection. They come around often to clear dishes and the place is always clean. I'm not big on buffets but this spot is saved on my list.

    The prices are amazing for a Buffet.

    I love coming to this place any night of the week. I always start with veggies and the selection never disappoints as it feels and tastes and look freshly made. While I'm not a curry guy my son loves that they have one curry dish he likes on certain nights of the week. Desert to drinks there's a huge selection. Bring the family or just bring a group of friends, it's that open for all to enjoy.

    If you don't yet know that Caspian Grill has a whole vegan menu, you should. I'm late to the game…read moreand now working to make up for lost time. Not only are they incredibly kind, but also very knowledgeable about the vegan options, and even keep all vegan prep separate from animal products. For the first time ever, I was able to try real tahdig, so thoroughly crispy that you can hear it crunch between the teeth of your dining companion across the table. Khoresh bademjan is typically made with lamb, but in this case, tender lentils carry the eggplant with enough meatiness that you'd never think the dish had ever been prepared differently. If you only get one thing, though, make it the ash reshteh. Don't be fooled by the size of the bowl; this is one hearty entree, absolutely packed with chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, soft wheat noodles, and more herbs and spices than I could identify on a single spoon. I'm already plotting how I can recreate this at home, ASAP. There's even a vegan dessert! Sweet and sticky halva, which is rich enough to split four or five ways at least, if you weren't already stuffed from the main meal. It's a double-edged sword that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. No fight for a table or wait for service, but it worries me that there's almost no buzz for this family-owned business. Get out and support them, early and often!

    A Fantastic Introduction to Mediterranean Food!…read more I recently visited Levant Halal Restaurant and brought my parents, who are visiting from India. It was their very first time trying Mediterranean food, and they absolutely loved it! We started with two different types of hummus served with pita. The hummus was incredibly flavorful, and the pita was exceptionally fresh. We also ordered the falafel, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. For the main course, we shared the Chicken Shish Taouk with sides of beet salsa and Lebanese potatoes--everything was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. Honestly, the highlight of the meal for us was the drinks. The mint juice and beet juice were so refreshing and easily the best part! We finished our meal with baklava and basbousa for dessert, and both were fresh, sweet, and incredibly tasty. Beyond the fantastic food, the ambiance is very neat and clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Levant Halal, especially if you are looking for a great place to introduce family to Mediterranean cuisine!

They looked like they were unhappy that I walked in. The food was alright but the pita was burnt (not good to serve to the customers). Otherwise... I'll check and see if the friendly workers are working before coming back. And the guy started cleaning right next to me with his spray bottle of chemicals. He stopped after cleaning the two tables on each side of me. That could've waited till they closed or he could've started on the other end. Naughty! They need to learn better customer service! Also I ordered the Levant Shawarma plate and I didn't even get to choose the sides.. very very disappointed!
