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.

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.

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!

Located in the Cerritos mall. Plenty of parking. I'm not a big fan of Buffett style all you can eat but this one is so tasty and the quality of food is excellent. You pay at front when you leave. Place is clean and modern looking.

Clean space with great options buffet style. Accommodated 30 people for a birthday party and reserve ahead and everyone pays separately. The pita bread is made fresh and a lot of options from chicken to salads to sauces and desserts and soda drinks and also coffee. Overall I would definitely come ago $30 dinner price

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.

Okay so my best friends birthday and the first time I came here was with him and didn't really enjoy it ... Places are allowed to improve and peeps like myself are allowed to change our minds... About 3.5 years later I'm back to celebrate his birthday and much more enjoyable experience!!!! Friendly staff and food tasted better..... 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...... Things weren't as salty as my first experience either... What I'm saying is now I'd come back again .....

I have to drive a couple hours to get to this buffet, I have been here 3 times now. They have been consistent each time. The food if decent, I like the salads, fresh breads and the hummus mostly. The rest is just okay. They have a self serve drink station that is included. My dislikes: they are not quick to refill silverware or ice so sometimes you have to wait a while for those items. They don't come around often to clear plates from the tables and the desserts could be better or have more to choose from. Overall though, if you've never been, it's great for those that are curious, but not worth driving a couple hours for. The restaurant inside is also very large. Just not a large selection of food items.

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.

Dessert station

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.

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*.

Loved the food, and it was all you could eat. Yummy, how many vegetables can I eat? I really wish you were in Torrance so I can go more like a souplation of one of our old favorites

Great place to bring the whole family for some great AYCE Mediterranean comfort food. :) we were only 4 people but when we saw the space inside, we're already planning our next family gathering here, with all the cousins, uncles and aunties. Food is somewhat "traditional Mediterranean" with lots of options for kids too! They even have dessert. :) We will definitely be back.

Straight to the buffet line. Got anything pertaining to seafood. Crab legs, jumbo shrimp, muscles and salmon. I can taste the freshness. I did not leave an after taste which is an indication of msg being used. The crab legs and the jumbo shrimp alone make it up for an adult price entree fee. The crab legs they are serving can range up to $36 to $60 a lb! That is definitely a steal! Getting your money's worth. Also a Hot wok was present. Grabbed my meats and veggies, gave it to the cook and was ready in 7 to 10 minutes. Big Kudos to the cook. He did an excellent job. He was friendly. This place is a hit and miss with the servers. Sometime they are friendly or sometimes they are just a square human being. No reaction just robots when you are trying to talk to them. That is why 5 stars is not given. Definite one of the better all you can eat buffets. Lots of items to choose from. Fresh and delicious. Gets crowded on Saturday and Sunday Brunch. time. Plenty of parking. Bathroom can use some help. Someone needs to clean the bathroom every 20 minutes. 2 complaints, friendly service and clean bathroom is what is missing at this location. "Hit and miss."

The food was definitely the highlight, everything we tried tasted fresh and well-prepared, especially the sushi. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. Our server wasn't very attentive. At one point, I asked for a fork for my mom and it never came. After waiting a while, I had to flag down another server who finally helped us so she could start eating. There were also a few mix-ups during our visit. A dish meant for another table was brought to us, and when I pointed it out, the server questioned whether we were sure we didn't order it, which felt a bit awkward. On top of that, there seemed to be some confusion or inconsistency with ordering rules. We were told carpaccio orders were limited to one of each per person. I ordered the seared tuna, salmon, and yellowtail carpaccio, but only received one of the three. Overall, the food was great and worth trying, but the service issues made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been. Hoping they can improve on that.
