I love this place, good food, good ambiance, room temperature was Great now, no more fridge temp like a few years ago. Just a recommendation to owner. You need to focus in the cleaning of the restrooms. People witnessed them but how the kitchen looks like if your restrooms are in this conditions. Use white vinegar to remove scale. read more

I visited this restaurant on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at around 2:50 PM. It was not busy at all--probably fewer than 20 customers were there. Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars. read more

Heard a lot about this place. Finally able go and check them out. Plenty of parking here. Restaurant is very nice and clean. Front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the many varieties of items they had. Salads, hummus, many meat items, desserts, and soda machine. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, this is a good spot to explore the many items they offered. Come check them out. read more

Recently rediscovered Dimassi's earlier this year after I forgot about it and went to visit their Anaheim Hills location which has since closed (RIP). Not sure if they've improved or what, but it was really tasty by buffet standards and I instantly became a fan of Dimassi's despite my 2 star review from 3 years ago. Since then I've been coming here every other week lol I'm such a huge fan of the large selection of salads and vegetables they have to choose from. I love the parsley salad, cabbage, roasted vegetables, the vegetable soup, and all the onions/tomatoes they have in some of the dishes on the buffet line. I LOVE rice (wow what a surprise) but here? It's such an afterthought for me. I will gladly eat all the roasted chicken, lamb shank, kofta, etc. with all the salads and veggies. It's the healthiest buffet I've ever been to. Sure, I might finish with a few bites of rice or a falafel or two, but I always leave here feeling healthy which is crazy to say after eating a buffet. No one is getting fat off vegetables and braised lamb and chicken. Well, maybe if you eat enough of the fried chicken (which is great by the way). I'm really bummed the Anaheim Hills location closed down, but I have no problems driving over here instead! I think after my next visit I'll finally get $15 off lmao. I told you I come here way too much. read more

Went on a weekend at around 5 p.m., and it was $32.99 per person. Honestly, not bad nowadays for ayce. It also comes with a lamb shank. It is $14.99 extra if you want another one. There is a bell that you have to ring in order to get one. Remember to get it! It's very tender. The salad section was great. It had a good variety of greens, and they were all dressed and seasoned very well. I liked the big cucumber salad and the kale with pita chip salad the most. The pita chips as croutons were very nice and crispy. The hummus section was awesome. My favorite one is the green one. I think it's avocado? You should try them all! Don't get filled up on it, though--save room for the meats! Besides the lamb shank, I liked the kofta and the gyro. The first batch of kofta I had was very juicy, and the second was more on the drier side. Same goes for the gyro. It was cut kind of thick and was a little dry. The garlic sauce they have went very well with it! I also got the beets, and they were my favorite item. They were sweet and tender, cooked to perfection. The cantaloupe and honeydew were both very sweet. I think that's kind of hard to come by these days. Their pudding was okay, not my favorite. I also tried the baklava, and it is definitely one of the better ones I have ever had. Definitely recommend this place, and I will come back. read more

The food overall was pretty good. I think that the gyro could have been thinner, a bit thick for me, would still eat it though. They sort of got an Indian mix in their buffet, the problem is that the curry is watered down, and the chicken over done or too loose. Luckily I'm not here for the Indian food. The grilled veggies was the real star of the show, I can't wait to go again to try their greens, but since there's that recall I'm playing safe, looked amazing though. The lamb was tender and great, although it's one shank per person there is a lamb rice dish on the buffet line and you can get more lamb meat. The beef kebab is pretty standard and the rose water is uniquely good. Although I did water mine down a little to reduce the sweetness. The desserts are great, usually the fruits at buffets aren't sweet but these were! The pasteries felt like it was Greek restaurant grade. Would come here again when I'm in the area, the price is great if you typically can eat two plates - cost of plates nowadays are too much elsewhere. read more

Overall, had a pleasant experience at Dimassi's! Most of the food was flavorful and was good quality overall for a buffet! My favorite items were the gyro, lamb shank, beef kabob, the different hummuses and the rice pudding. Service was good, the bussers came around pretty frequently to clear plates out of our way. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant. Had a good amount of people on Sunday night but wasn't fully packed. Would recommend! read more

I'm usually weary of buffets and only go in Vegas, but I really like this one! The buffet section itself is smaller than what you'd expect, but that's not a problem at all, especially if you love Mediterranean food. Every dish is genuinely good instead of the usual mediocre spread. The space is simple and clean, and it's clear they put real care into keeping the food stations tidy and well presented. The lineup is mostly meats and veggies, plus a great salad bar (no boring iceberg and romaine here). A fun touch: ring the bell and they'll bring you a fresh lamb shank, it's how I always start my meal. There's also a solid rotation of chicken, lamb, fish, and rice dishes. We're usually seated right away, and it never feels overcrowded, which makes navigating the buffet line easy. Only downside is there's just one person bussing tables, so things can pile up. We try to help by clearing our own plates when it gets full. Overall a great spot for quality Mediterranean food. Just wish there was one closer to us! read more

The food is delicious and fresh. They are reasonably priced, drinks are included in buffet pricing. The drinks are fountain soda, tea, coffee, and rose water. They may offer more options but i can't recall. They had salads, dips, chicken dishes and smaller portions of items like pizza, fish, beef and limited fruit and dessert. Still a great value in my opinion. Seating is available inside & outdoors. They also offer to go options and there is different pricing for it if you can't enjoy it there. Cashier is usually pleasant too. Parking in the shopping center is plentiful. read more

Came here with my family and we all loved it! It's self-service, which makes it easy to build your own plate with whatever you want. They have a great selection fresh tabbouleh, grape leaves, creamy dips, mixed grills, and more. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The ambience is pretty chill, and since a lot of people stop by on their lunch break, the place doesn't feel empty or lonely. We'll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend it! read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - They have a great selection fresh tabbouleh, grape leaves, creamy dips, mixed grills, and more. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. - Mediterranean Near Me - Cerritos, California

Buffet Lovers May Enjoy This One, But It Wasn't Quite Our Flavor Hubby and I were on the hunt for a new spot to try and stumbled upon this Mediterranean buffet while browsing Yelp. First things first -- plenty of parking in the plaza, so no need to circle around hunting for a spot. We arrived around 3:30 PM, and since weekday lunch pricing is $21.99 per person from 11 AM-4 PM, we were pleasantly surprised when the hostess kindly allowed us to stay through the transition until 4:30 PM before dinner pricing kicked in. That was definitely appreciated! The ambience is what you'd expect from a buffet: open, spacious, and filled with plenty of tables for larger groups and families. Now onto the food... One thing I really enjoyed was the impressive selection of appetizers and dips. There were several varieties of hummus including spicy hummus, avocado hummus, baba ghanoush, along with a sauce station featuring tahini, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. If you're a dip-and-spread person, you'll probably be pretty happy here. They also had multiple rice options and a variety of proteins. Most of the selections consisted of different styles of chicken, along with fried fish and grilled fish. I believe the lamb shank is only offered during dinner service or on weekends, so unfortunately we missed out on that. As for the food itself, this is where the experience became a little mixed for us. While there were certainly a lot of choices, many of the dishes felt surprisingly similar, and overall the food lacked the bold Mediterranean flavors we were hoping for. Most items were fairly mild and a bit bland for our taste. Nothing tasted bad, but very little stood out enough to make us want to go back for seconds. For dessert, they offered baklava, pistachio rice pudding, and a few other sweet treats, which was a nice way to end the meal. Service, however, was excellent. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, so I'd easily give the service 5/5 stars. Overall, I landed at 3 out of 5 stars. I appreciate the buffet concept, the variety, and the wonderful service, but for hubby and me, flavor is king. Unfortunately, the food just didn't have enough seasoning or wow factor to make us want to return for a second visit. If you're looking for a Mediterranean buffet with lots of options, it may be worth trying once and deciding for yourself. Happy eats! read more

As a buffet, I consider Dimassi's in Cerritos a game changer. This is a Mediterranean themed buffet that's only $22 before 4pm on Monday through Friday. For dinner on the weekdays it's only a few dollars more ($29). On weekends it's $33 all day. I mention the price because I consider it a no-brainer for a weekday lunch. I agree with the criticism that the protein options can be limited. You aren't going to be getting filet mignon kabobs for lunch. But their chicken options, their fried fish filet, and their gyro meat is not bad. If you are looking for the premium kabobs, there are many Mediterranean options in the area that you can get that. What makes this place truly worth it are their delicious salad options, their warm, house made pita bread, their abundant options of spreads (hummus, baba ghanoush, garlic sauce). The multiple options for mediterranean salads are really what I crave from here. For $22, if I can have a multi course meal featuring 4-5 types of refreshing salads, fish filet, warm pita with hummus, a gyro (assembled on your own with their ingredients), a soft drink, and baklava. Considering the fact that I spend $16 on a combo meal at Carl's Jr or a salad wrap at Sweetgreen, this is truly a no brainer. If you do come here for dinner ($29-33), know that you can special order their braised lamb shank. I like to eat this with the pita bread, some roasted veggies, and one of their delicious spreads, but you do what you like. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Mediterranean Near Me - Cerritos, California

I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal. For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food. read more

This was our first time at DiMassi's. Our Bank Manager in Huntington Beach who is also a foodie recommended this back in August and we finally got to visit. This is Cafeteria style so upon entry find a table in either dining area and then head to the line grabbing a tray and making your way down the assorted goodies. Really good choice of Mediterranean cuisine with kabobs, four types of chicken including the delicious and off the bone DiMassi's special roast chicken; three different hummus options, pita bread being made fresh in front of you and baklava and two other desserts. The Tabouleh and salads were really good. Love that they had coffee and sodas included in the price. The lady at the front who was the greeter, Manager and cashier was tremendous as was the sweet lady inside picking up the stacks of dishes. This would have been a five star experience but for the fact that mass produced dishes here including the rice, the kabobs, the hummus, even the baklava tasted just standard and not stand out. The exceptional exceptions were the DiMassi's chicken and the Tabouleh. It was $23.50 for lunch which was not bad as drinks and dessert were included. Lots of parking in the front. I am definitely going to come back and try their dinner options and look forward to a five star extravaganza. read more

Best kept secret. If you love Mediterranean food, then this is the only buffet in town. Be sure to not forget and ring the bell to get the lamb shank I think it is the best thing in the buffet too bad you can only get it once each visit You can come during the week for a more favorable price. If you live in the area it's always a truck for me but it's worth a drive. read more

Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99 is also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean. read more

I absolutely alive Mediterranean food and have been to many very delicious places but I always wanna try everything on the menu and when I found a buffet I knew I had to go! When you arrive the hostess is always super friendly and smiling they let you sit and pay after. They have plenty of seating and the variety of items they offer is great. The line starts with fresh salads but the top is the most delicious tabouli salad! They put out fresh hummus, pita bread and if you are a fan of lamb they have lamb (not mine but my mom said it is the best). They have garlic sauce and yogurt, which is my favorite to pair with the chicken and rice with lentils! The place is really clean they have staff that goes by and picks up your plates and the general appearance is clean and inviting. They have self serve drink option from tea, coffee and fountain drinks. Last but not least they have the best baklava I'm not sure if they also make that fresh in house but it is a nice way to end the meal! The price is very affordable for being a buffet and having as much freshness as they do! read more

I have always wanted to try this place as soon as I heard about them opening up, but it was always packed! The room where the buffet was pretty warm compared to the side room where it was absolutely FREEZING. The inside and the buffet was also really clean, the white LEDs add such a modern look. The restrooms are GORGEOUS. There are so many options of fresh salads, meats, rice, hummus, you name it! I first loaded up a lot on the fresh salad and hummus options. My absolute FAVORITE was the roasted vegetables towards the end of the buffet line. I love to grab a little bit of everything on my plate as I am an absolute foodie and love to try new things. The lamb shank is a MUST. You get 1 included in your buffet, and have to pay an additional $14.99 if you would like another. So much meat on the bone and the meat was SO tender! The desserts had a minimal options, which most of them had a rose water/rose taste, which is not my personal preference as they are too strong in floral flavor for me. The fresh fruit was a nice option to end the night. Something I have NEVER heard of was you pay AFTER your meal! I will be coming back to enjoy more delicious Mediterranean food for dinner. Would highly recommend to anyone and in such a prime location inside the Cerritos Towne Centre. read more

So many good options here and there's something for everyone! Whether its fall off the bone chicken, tender beef, fresh veggies, and a variety of sauces and dips to complement them! We came here right before the Saturday dinner rush around 5:30 PM and it was honestly the perfect timing! Everything was fully stocked and beautifully displayed, which made the whole buffet experience feel fresh and inviting. They had an impressive variety of hummus flavors, so creamy and well seasoned! The highlight for us were definitely the marinated chicken and beef kebabs. Both were so tender, juicy, and very flavorful! delicious with bold Mediterranean flavors. Everything tasted fresh and even though it was a buffet, there were so many healthy options that you don't feel guilty. The only downside for our personal taste was the dessert selection because many of them had a strong floral flavor that we weren't huge fans of. But overall, the savory spread and quality of the food made it a great experience and we would absolutely come back! read more

Things seemed a bit fresher and the restaurant seemed more organized than my first experience.... Falafel was good, arugula salad good, cauliflower was awesome, lentils and rice, etc......

All-you-can-eat Mediterranean. This is my second time here, and I've been meaning to leave a review (with a video). It's a reasonably priced, healthier lunch option for individuals, couples, or groups. Great if you're trying to get more greens into your diet while still having plenty of choices for proteins and different carbs. The price includes beverages. I'm not a big soda fan, but they also offer regular and decaf coffee, plus tea. (If you're someone who lives or work around this area and often eat out, this is probably a great place to come at least once a week to load up on all the bright greens that are much needed.) Try the different hummus flavors -- I like the spicy hummus, or I'll mix it with the avocado spread. The staff is easygoing, the dining area stays clean, and there was ample parking during lunch both times I've visited. Men's restroom: overall it was decently clean, but the urinal stall was broken and still inoperable. Not ideal for any public restroom. I often mention in my restaurant reviews that bathrooms can reflect the kitchen and how detail-oriented management is. That said, everything else in the restroom looked well kept and maintained during both visits. read more

My favorite kind of friend is the one who says, "Let's go to lunch." I got lucky when my favorite ex-boyfriend (who I'm happy to say is still one of my closest friends) invited me out today. He wanted something healthy, I wanted options--so we landed on Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos. Perfect compromise.This place is so good. Everything tasted fresh, and there are so many choices--salads, dressings, hummus, chicken, lamb... all the Mediterranean staples you could want. And don't skip dessert. The rice pudding, that Malta omeal jello-style dessert, plus cakes and baklava... all delicious.My absolute favorite part though? The drinks. I love their rosewater--it's such a refreshing touch and something you don't find everywhere.It came out to about $48 for the two of us during their weekday lunch hours (12-3), which felt totally worth it. 5 stars. Fresh, flavorful, and perfect if you want a little bit of everything. read more

Very nice ambience! If you like Mediterranean cuisine, you'd love this place. Senior discount. Salad galore. Love the barb q chicken & not spicy yellow rice. Baklava was kind of dry. Soup (tasted like peas) was very good. Love the crunchy pita breads. Watch out though ... some of the coffee cups had cracks. I informed the busboy but he still included it in the usual pile of used dishes. They ran out of silverware's at one point too. read more

This was the first time I ate at this establishment. I brought my mother and we had evening rations. This establishment is an all you can eat buffet. Well almost because at least for evening rations, one portion of lamb shanks is included in the price and additional portions of lamb shanks are available at 14.95$ each per person. In addition I saw a sign indicating a two hour time limit for eating. The price is based on the exit time so if someone enters when the lower midday price is in effect and leaves after the change to evening pricing, the higher evening price is charged. Also there is a ten percent senior discount available for those 60 and over. The food was good.. I had pita bread, fried chicken, fried tilapia, a slice of cheese pizza, some lamb gyro strips and a slice of beef lasagna. That food was good but not wonderful. I was not real happy that some of the food items at the buffet had onions as I am allergic to onions. I am deducting a half point due to the onions. For seconds I requested and got the portion of lamb shank. That was wonderful. Drinks were included and I had "wooder" and Orange Fanta. Drink station was self serve. I was disappointed that Pepsi was not available. I am deducting a half point due to lack of Pepsi available. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. I have a bone to pick concerning the personal appearance of the guys working at this establishment. I am glad they wore t shirts but I noticed that the guyd all failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional and I think that they looked like slobs. This is something I am OCD about. I believe it ought to be compulsory for guys to tuck their shirts in under ordinary circumstances so I am deducting one point. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C. read more

My friend and I used to go to Dimassi's religiously in Cerritos until they opened up a location closer to home. I came here recently for a birthday celebration, and I'm happy to see they've maintained the quality of their food. The restaurant is pretty big with plenty of seating options. In terms of service, there are workers consistently going around bussing your dishes and table, and bringing out more food. It's located in a large shopping plaza so parking is also no issue. I really enjoy the food here. They have plenty of salads, dips (3 types of hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, garlic sauce, etc.), rice mixed with different things, soups, fresh pita, kebabs, dolma, other marinated meats, and more. I'm a BIG fan of the cauliflower, eggplant, garlic sauce, fried fish, marinated chicken (in tomato sauce), and the arugula salad. I have noticed that the fried options like fish and chicken can vary in terms of quality, and the kebabs are a bit on the drier side. In terms of variety, it's primarily Mediterranean dishes/dips/salads, not surprisingly, but there are options for the picky eaters out there like pizza, lasagna, and fried chicken. It doesn't have as much variety compared to an Asian buffet, but the options are still relatively diverse and (in my opinion) are higher quality. That is to say it is on the pricier side (weekends: ~$36+), so if you don't have a big appetite, it's probably more cost-effective to go to a regular Mediterranean restaurant and order single dishes. They used to offer rose water but they got rid of the it a few years back and sadly I did not see it resurfaced this time around. It's also set up cafeteria style which is not ideal when things get busy, often times there are lines of people building and waiting for the person in front of them OR new food to come out. This is especially true when people are waiting in the middle for the lamb shank. read more

Mmmm..the selections.. I love the chicken, it's so tender and juicy! And their drink selections are refreshing! It's pretty much self service, and they're helpful there too! Another thing is that they do cater to group events! Since it's all you can eat, you can't take food home lol, but they do offer to go options separately! Went there when they first opened, and the owner was so sweet! Will have to find an old photo! read more

Very nice place. The first thing you notice when u enter here is how clean it is. The choices are pretty decent, price was $22 pp for lunch (Oct 2025) but it also includes foubtain drinks and coffee. Chicken was pretty good. I also liked chicken soup, garlic sauce and salad. Some of the food was a bit bland but adding a bit of salt made it all good. I think thats good esp if you wanna watch salt intake. Dessert was impressive. Baklava was 8/10, rice pudding 10/10, Namoura 10.5/10 Service was pretty prompt and nice. Soneone was always cleaning or taking your plates. Honestly with the whole experience and food quality, this place is a solid 4* but with such a good price, it is well over 5*. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Mediterranean Near Me - Cerritos, California

Mediterranean foods are healthier food choices and have been recommended by many medical experts for heart health. My friend and I came here on a Friday to try out its lunch buffet. My friend is vegetarian and he usually avoids buffet believing that he won't find much to eat and it would be a waste of money for him. Well, he was pleasantly surprised, from the array of the salad dishes, the hot from the oven pita bread, the lentil soup, the warm rice dishes, and Coke Zero! He was a happy clam! We counted that they have total of 55 dishes including the desserts ! I loved the salads, the hummus, the lentil soup, the Basmati rice, grilled cauliflowers, falafel balls, and the baklava. The fish in the soup was so-so, maybe grilling will save it. Very space dining areas that are divided to three sections and with additional patio seatings. It's clean and inviting; however, the bathroom was not as expected and my friend stated that the men stores were with broken parts. The service was good with empty plates cleared promptly and the dishes were always refilled quickly. $21.99 for weekend day lunch, 4pm onwards $28.99, and weekends $32.99; and kids 3-9 $12.99; they also offer to-go. Very reasonable prices. Plenty of parking as it's located in the Cerritos town center. Will sure come back! read more

This place is cool. My first time at a Mediterranean buffet. I came here Friday evening and it wasn't busy at first. The host was very accommodating. Since it was my first time I asked them a lot of questions and they were happy to answer. We were waiting for everyone from our party and they told us we get a table and eat and wait for everyone else to come. You also pay after you're done eating and you could also take home food, but they charge you by the lbs. There's a lot of choices of food. The buffet was always clean and trays were filled. All the different types of chicken that they had was good, also the kafta kabob and meatballs. Everything is pretty good and healthy. The baklava was tasty. I got a lot of that. The lamb shank was was delicious and tender. If you want the lamb shank you have to press a bell and they bring it out to you. Overall, I really liked this place and I would come back again! read more

I'll be honest -- I wasn't expecting to be this impressed by a Mediterranean buffet, but this spot totally delivered. We came about 30 minutes before closing and everything was still fresh and well-stocked. The food was being replenished consistently, which I really appreciated (especially that close to closing time). The selection was solid -- from tender meats and grilled veggies to rice, stews, salads, and warm pita. The lamb was flavorful, the chicken was juicy, and the sides tasted fresh, not like they'd been sitting out all day. They also have fountain drinks and a nice dessert selection -- baklava, rice pudding, fresh fruit, and other sweet bites to round everything out. The owner at the front was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone right away. Service is pretty minimal (it's buffet style), and no one was really coming around to bus tables -- but it was the end of the night, so that's understandable. The place itself is small, clean, and simple -- not fancy, but comfortable. Overall, a surprisingly good experience with fresh food and warm hospitality. read more

This place has been on my list for a long time and finally being able to come to this place did not disappoint! There is a plentiful selection of delicious foods from vegetables and salads, to meats, to desserts, you name it! And various types of hummus. What's not to like! My favorite were the lamb and gyro meat with the fresh pita bread. Simply delicious! Service was good, but it's a buffet so you are your own server for the most part. Nevertheless the staff were friendly. Clean restaurant. Plenty of seating. Plenty of outside parking. Would definitely come again! read more

There was plenty of parking in the plaza. We were able to seat ourselves right away. It wasn't too crowded and the place was clean. They offered a good variety of choices including vegetables, chicken dishes, and dessert. However, some of the salad didn't appear as fresh as we'd hoped. The staff came around often to clear our plates, making sure we were done before removing anything. The noise level was low so we were able to talk to each other while enjoying our meal. The restroom needs more attention and maintenance. read more

I have always wanted to try this place out but my fam bam is not inter Mediterranean. This past Sunday, I was finally able to enjoy this with a high school friend. The establishment is super clean and there are no strong food smells as you enter in. They let us choose our own seats and off to the buffet line we went. The plastic plates did not stick like Asian restaurants and the food display was simply amazing. Beautiful. Healthy. Flavored just right. The layout of the veggies first. Bread and soup in the middle and then meats at the end along with sodas and dessert was great. If you desired just a specific item, it was convenient to find in each section. Usually buffets are stingy on the meat. This place is bee generous and there wasn't ever an empty tray. I take it back, the garlic paste thing was usually running low. Everything was delicious and I greatly enjoyed my lunch with my friend. I would definitely return! read more
