    I am not the biggest person when it comes to buffets, but I will be returning to this buffet! Such good arabi/mediterranean food! Been on the hunt for tasty arabi food since moving to Austin and this is the place! It's clean and self serve which makes it easy for casual days. The chicken, kefta and kabob are so good and prepared fresh. Definitely must get the cauliflower as well! They even serve mansaf depending on the day and time. It tastes as good as the photos look.

    Moving clockwise: Greek salad, cabbage salad, hummus, avocado hummus, Baba Ghanoush, tabouli, fattoush, & a stuffed grape leaf in the middle

    I'm not usually a buffet person but Dimassi's is the one place I'll make an exception because they have delicious food, it's clean, and it's reasonable priced. Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet always has a special place in my heart because they were one of the few places we could find open during the snow and ice storm in February of 2021 that shut down Austin (we were visiting from out of town and were stuck with no food). This was our first visit back after 3 years since moving here and loved it just as much! You pay on the way out so you're able to walk in and join the buffet line right away! There's plenty of hand sanitizer available and you get a fresh plate with each visit. They didn't come by to collect used plates from our table but we were also there not too long before closing. The pricing varies depending on the day and time you visit but even the most expensive pricing on Friday and weekend nights is reasonable at $23.99 per person for all you can eat with the appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks. Here are some of my favorite items: Pita bread (thicker than most traditional pita breads which I LOVE) Baba Ghanouge Avocado hummus Rice with lentils Cauliflower Lemon potatoes Gyro meat (use a pita to make a gyro with the cucumber mint yogurt sauce... so good!) Baklava (I usually don't love baklava because it's so sweet but this one was great) If you want a great selection of Mediterranean food and the ability to indulge in as much as you want, you can't beat Dimassi's! I already can't wait to go back and will continue to recommend it to others.

    Buffet deliciousness!!!

    Great place. All the food was fresh and very good. There were a lot of protein, vegetable and fruit options. A drink was included with the buffet. The owner was actively participating in running the business, not just telling people what to do. My elderly mother came with us (a group of 9) but wasn't feeling good. I asked if she could get the childrens menu, or maybe something ala carte to hold her over. The owner said, "it was on the house tonight." Wow. We definitely felt welcomed and enjoyed everything about our dining experience.

    Prior Receipt with pricing per lb.  Now they want to charge Falafel by piece.  Ridiculous!

    We used to like this place, but under the new management, everything has gone south. - Place has become filthy with sticky tables,flies over the food, odor in restaurant, and felt very unhygienic. - Pricing for boxed food changes on day-to-day basis. Few days ago, they were charging $9.99/lb,then became $12.99/lb, today pricing was on a piece basis. I even showed them their receipt from last week and the person at the counter said that last 2 times their staff made a mistake and now we have to pay higher price. - Staff indicated that Falafel are made in the same oil as other meat dishes which I didn't appreciate. Suffice to say that I would not recommend Dimassis to anybody. I would rather go to Almarah Grill on 620 and 183.

    Mediterranean. Buffet. What a concept - but Dimassi's surprised me in a good way. The short: All you can eat pretty solid Mediterranean food for $19.47 (plus tip) - an excellent deal. No, it's not the fanciest facility, but yes the value is there. The highlights: there's a whole buffet dedicated to accompaniments, another for meat / entree, and one for desserts. This is a great place if you are following an eating plan like keto but still want to eat a lot of food. The hummus & garlic dips were incredible. The meats that I had were all mostly good. The baklava was decent, a little sugar forward. The rose water was interesting (like drinking what potpourri smells like but sweet?). Worth the price. The non-highlights: the parking lot is a little hard to find. the bathrooms are not super well maintained. not every food item is great (didn't love every dip, some of the veggies were still a bit raw...but others were cooked well and had a nice char in the same container, the pasta hadn't been refreshed in a bit so it was cold). The ice machine ran out of ice at the end of our meal. They didn't have the lamb shanks (but to be fair, it was a Wednesday night). Glad I got to try this, and would go back for the price or garlic dip alone

    Friendly service. The lamb shanks and baklava are so delicious. It was hard to stop eating them during the buffet.

    Good food and the buffet has many items to choose from. The baklava is a little sweeter than what I have had elsewhere, but still good.

I love the Loro in DFW, but the original location in Austin is where it all began. This is a must visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The cuisine is creative and elegant, but Loro's genius is its ultra casual setting. Instead of white tablecloth and fancy silverware, there are wooden picnic tables that maximize seating while mimicking the comforts of your backyard. "Grab a beer from the cooler and sit at a picnic table" vibe. 1 Star. Service - There's no beer cooler, but there is an awesome staff that begins with taking your order at the bar. They'll give you a buzzer, and when your food is ready the Loro team will bring the dishes straight to your table. The service is so great and efficient and it's like "fine dining" fast casual. 1 Star. Food - The menu is very unique, mixing Texas smokehouse techniques with Asian underpinnings. The Pork Belly Char Siu is a must order. We ordered this (non-bowl version) because we wanted to focus on the hoisin sauce, super tender "melt in your mouth" pork belly with pickled cucumbers to help cut the richness. We also ordered their Texas Two Step lunch of a juicy onion burger and potatoes that reminded us that Loro can do fancy and comfort at the same time. Both dishes were satisfying and delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I live in Dallas and Loro has opened in North Texas, but the original location in Austin is a great rzeminder of how great restaurants are meant to be shared with others. 1 Star.

This time, I barely managed to squeeze one into my trip, and it was kind of a last minute stop from a food truck that wasn't even on Yelp. It was fine, but I was left yearning for more after barely getting a taste of it. Enter: my trip to Austin. Upon doing my food research, I was struck by Halal Time's great rating and couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit. I was staying in a hotel less than a mile away, which made it even easier to stop by. The result? I wouldn't say it fully hit the spot on what I'd remembered from old NYC trips, but I did enjoy it.

I get a 30 min lunch and it takes me 8 min to get there and another 8 min to get so I should have had plenty of time. I go up to the window, tell him I'm here to pick up the order and he says door dash has not given him orders for 3 days. So my orders were not made. I had to call everyone to find out what they order and as I'm calling out the orders he's like oh yes I see them. Very confused as to how he has no orders but also has orders? There was construction and graduations going on that day so my commute was a little longer but he not having the orders ready also made me late.

Quite honestly, I was full after eating 1/4 of the sandwich, which had cabbage, pickles and of course the pork (not the typical stringy pork but chunks of pork bursting with smokey flavor). The mac-n-cheese was substantial with cheese filled shell pasta with a hint of a smokey flavor. So yummy...Well, I might have eaten "all" the banana pudding.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Boozy Brussel Sprouts which were smoked and flashed fried, a balsamic glaze with whiskey soaked raisins and parmesan. I am definitely returning to check out the Half Chicken Plate with 2 small sides that I eyeballed.
