Amazing value. And good food! Its always consistent. Lots of different Mediterranean dishes and desserts. And the value is super. They charge by the pound. You can feed a family of 3 under $25. Alex read more

I am quite shocked at the event that transpired today at your Richmond location. This was my first time trying your food, and I was quite displeased with the customer service. I came in today came in today to get lunch to go. Sign reads $9.99 per pound. I get my total cost and decide to withdraw my spinach . The manager brings my food up in a different format, causing the price to increase . I spoke about it and she said that the price was $9.99 per pound. I get to my car and check my email only that I've been charged $12.99 per pound for the protein And the vegetables, $9.99 per pound. I make my way back and ask for a refund and she smirk and told me no. I was totally turned off by the sequence of events. I left my food on the counter and proceeded to go eat somewhere else. I was not comfortable eating your food. read more

Loved the food!! Ate too fast to take photos but man this place is awesome! All of my favorite foods in one place. I had a variety of Mediterranean foods with rose water tea followed by baklava and coffee! I wish there was another location in Louisiana where I live read more

We had 3 meals delivered and they were good. This was the first time we've had fodd delivered from any Dimassi's. What I had was the Kafta kabob wrap, 3 stars, a Pita Sandwich Filled with Kafta, Fattoush, and Hummus. My wife got the falafel plate, Chickpea Fritters served with a choice of Rice, Salad, Dip and 1 Pita Bread. Our daughter-in-law got the Chicken kabob wrap, a Pita Sandwich Filled with Chicken Kabob, Fattoush, and Hummus. The price of delivery compared to the buffet means I'll probably go visit them but future delivery is a no go, plus the food isn't as good after sitting in a car for a while. read more

We had a 20% off discount coupon, with no restrictions or conditions printed on it. Our party of 6 went Friday night to try the weekend buffet- $23.99 p.p. The restaurant had a grubby appearance, and we rejected numerous plates from the pile before getting the food, as they still had food particles on them. UGH. The food was of such poor quality that we left most of it on our plates after eating. It was cold and mushy- pretty tasteless. When we came to pay, they said the coupon was for ONE person ONLY and deducted $4.80 from a bill of $150.00. Their coupon was false and misleading and was NOT honored. Their manager on duty was rude and indifferent and insisted that was Dimassi's policy. Goodbye Dimassi's you will never see us, or any of our friends who dine out regularly, ever again. read more

Upon arriving in Houston in 1981 it wasn't long before someone introduced me to Mediterranean food. Demassi was the place to go. For many years, I never had a complaint. However, overtime, the quality of food is not consistent. The restaurants have strange odor, which I find mostly come from sewer gas. Sometimes they admit from the restroom and permeates throughout the restaurant. I have literally walked in and walked out because my stomach turned. Most recently I popped into the galleria location, which is the most convenient for me. Today's issues included: Food quality - the eggplant was not cooked properly and was very bitter. It also was not cooked long enough to create that buttery roasted flavor that's makes this dish so desirable. More and more I find this situation with the eggplant. When you do not prep eggplant properly, it is bitter. Baba ganouch and roasted eggplant are two of my favorites. And truly what I go there for. I was very disappointed. The eggplant was so bitter that it burned/stinged my mouth. To make things worse after I ate, I popped into the ladies room. The odor would knock you down. Again, I became nauseated from the smell. This is a simple fix. They need to hire a plumber to do a smoke test to find out where the sewer gas is coming from. And correct the issue. This is the most disgusting thing that can happen when you're in a restaurant is to smell sewer gas. They mask it with the cheap odor of fragrances and strong cleansers. All of which mixed together make it more disgusting. Each time this happens to me I go months at a time before ever trying to go back in to a Demasi restaurant. I can't be the only one that is feeling this way. The galleria restaurant is dirty, the floors are dirty, the chairs are grimy. This has got to be one of their most profitable locations. It's time to update and clean the place up. I meant to take more pictures, but here's a few of the restroom. read more

While it's not my favorite Dimassi's by any stretch, it's a perfect acceptable given its central location in the Galleria. It might not actually be the smallest location, but it certainly feels that way upon entering. Everything seems limited here, from the buffet to the items on there. The parking situation is ideal since it's part of massive shared lot and Dimassi's sits right at the corner. A few operational things that irk me a bit is that the buffet items aren't replenished quickly and dirty plates are often left around the place even when the rush is over. It's not a deal breaker, but it is an eye sore. The buffet selection is not vast, but there are some standout items. The salt and pepper cauliflower is always a hit and the freshly made zaatar is a treat. The chunks of lamb gyro taste better than they look and the baked chicken isn't the bomb version like at the Med Center. I don't love the salad selection so much and the desserts are somewhat limited. Still, there's enough here that I'd consider this a Dimassi's in a pinch. Service is super nice, but they're just a tad slow. The bathrooms is totally not nice, but it'll suffice. I think solo lunches and small groups would thrive here and it is going to be an ideal place to grub for a quick meal with decent variety and prices. read more

I would love everything that they have, but the broiled fish fillets with huge chucks of carrot and zucchini and the potato salad with garlic cream sauce just doesn't allow me to try much else. So many kinds of salads! How to choose? read more

Alia was amazing!! Delicious food and enjoyed the watermelon lemonade. Love the kebabs and the gyros

Di-mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmassi! Yum! Yum! Yum! Parking: It's in a shopping center with a substantial parking lot; however, there are a ton of businesses and its in walking distance from NRG. Just know that you will get a parking spot. May not be as close as you want, but you will get one. Cleanliness: They provide sanitizer and disposable gloves for you to use! I love love love that idea! So genius! I didn't see the same thing at the dessert station, so that is a recommendation there. This is a rather clean buffet in that the staff cleans the tables frequently. They even come by to get dirty plates and other trash off of table. Staff: The staff was super friendly. They were nice and polite. The Food: The food was great! The salads were fresh and the chicken curry was delish. I will say I was taken back by the Rose Water. It was yummy as well. In essence, this restaurant gets a thumbs up. I'll be back! Check in early and get a coupon from Yelp! read more

I love going here for lunch, and this is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. It's healthy, the price is great, and yes, sometimes the chicken and meat are not as moist, but the variety and the price point make it one of my favorites! Also, the people who work here are super chill and nice. And if you are a clean freak, they cater to you as well with disposable gloves and lots of hand washing or cleaning options around the store :P read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Galleria - Food - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came in for lunch on a wednesday for their buffet Food 4/5: generally good quality Mediterranean food on the buffet, made my own little doner kebab and love their chicken thing and rice dish. Drinks are included. Ambiance 3/5: clean, almost like an upgraded college cafeteria vibe? Nothing special but not an uncomfortable experience Service 4/5: it's a buffet experience, people come by periodically to get dishes but not super often. Value buffet/5: it's a buffet, the value is determined by your gut size and mine is pretty big so 6/5 for me ‍ Total 4.5/5: I like the place overall, given it's a buffet I give more weight to the food and value components. Come here pretty frequently read more

Nice buffet I love that it's self serve buffet style. One price it was $45 for 2 people. Hummus - garlic, spicy, plain Pitas Salads - kale, chickpea, cucumber, etc Fried cauliflower Grilled zucchini, carrots, tomatoes Tilapia Fried chicken Steamed spinach Cold potatoes with red pepper & parsley Chicken and rice 3 different chicken flavors All in all a cool buffet. If you have a few hours to relax and eat at your own pace the price is worth it. Good food, pretty standard tastes. Enjoy read more

Outstanding food quality quantity and cleanliness, amazing taste real taste and halal o literally felt sitting in a resturant in Spain, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Israel or Syria . This was authentic Mediterranean quality tasteful cuisine with elegance, I am so happy to see resturant like this with affordable prices as halal , which now a days is proven like kosher and halal which means hand cut allowing all the blood of animal to flow out leaving clean cut meat . Hats of on the quality and authentic taste, bravo ! My only criticism is the waiter service was so so , they plan to add background music that will be the master key read more

Stopped by on a busy Saturday and left surprised. The staff greeted us quickly, explained the menu, and checked in without hovering. I ordered the brisket tacos and a house margarita; both were fresh, flavorful, and well priced. The space was clean, lively, and not too loud for conversation. Food came out fast and hot. Only downside was limited parking, so plan ahead. Overall, a solid spot I'd happily return to and recommend to friends. Dessert options looked tempting, so we'll try them next time. read more

Fantastic buffet with an amazing variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. I have never dined in but often get food to go. They have great take out boxes that are reusable. Everything I have had from here is great. The restaurant is clean and the food is always fresh and hot. The price for the buffet and to go items is extremely reasonable. Definitely give this place a try if you want fresh, flavorful food. read more

We were in Houston and on a vegetarian fast. Yelp helped guide us to this spot. We ordered online then popped in to pick it up. However a glitch did not transmit the order to the restaurant. Online snafus have happened before followed by wasted minutes of "did nots & did toos" from staff thinking they were being scammed. But "no worries" here, the management did not miss a beat and took care of us when we showed the order receipt & confirmation on my phone. We got a little concerned when we saw them get our food off the buffet but that went away when we looked at the quality (and quantity) of food available on that buffet. We had the Cabbage Salad and Lentil Soup but plan to return when our fast is over so we can partake of the other goodness we saw before us. read more

For the price, you really can't beat it especially if you get the lamb shanks. Lots of parking space and the workers are quick at re-filling food, cleaning the tables and taking away your plates. Also not too loud or quiet. There is so much variety of side dishes, salads and main dishes. The quality of the food is better than expected for a buffet (small note: the regular hummus is more on the bland side but the other hummuses are pretty good). I have to come here multiple times just to try everything. I frequently come here and wish they expanded outside Texas. Definitely a must visit. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Galleria - Buffet line - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm really impressed by Dimassi's and while it's not the most incredible Mediterranean food you'll find in the area, it's definitely a great bang for your buck. $16.99 for AYCE is a solid deal, especially given the selection of food. I was definitely impressed by the amount of available options. There is a wide variety of meats, salads, hummus (they had 3 types), sides, breads, desserts, and more to choose from. Everything was fresh and filled to the brim. The rose water was really tasty and a nice touch. You can come here as a carnivore, a vegan, someone looking to eat clean/healthy, or someone looking to stuff their face -- and you'll leave satisfied, I think. They have high chairs (yay) but they were pretty old and broken (boo). Located in a large (but busy) shopping center. read more

I was in Houston for about five days and stayed in the Uptown/Galleria district. Using Yelp to find and bookmark the sorts of places I normally frequent in California, I discovered this restaurant was conveniently located in the same shopping center on Richmond as TJ Maxx (slippers purchased), a good Pet shop (toys for kitty), Specs Liquor etc, and a future expansion Smashburger. This Middle Eastern restaurant differs from most because of the buffet option, which at lunchtime has an excellent price. The food looks great, no doubt about that, but I was most interested in a wrap sandwich and inquired about that. They have chicken kabob, beef kafta, gyro, and falafel. Rolling backwards momentarily, I had refused to give a guy, probably an addict, cash outside, but I often test motivation by offering food, if indeed that's what the person really wants. I can afford to be charitable periodically and he took up my offer to buy a sandwich, he chose chicken, and I picked beef. The nice girl at the counter mentioned they had a spicy option, so we both said that sounded great. Admittedly, I was trying to distance myself from the dude, and the girl understood that I was being nice to a degree, even when he asked her for a drink cup. She gave me one too and smiled. Anyhow, I left the restaurant and ate my sandwich across the street but it was so good! The meat was cooked well, and the spicy sauce added an extra dimension. I returned a couple days later to try a chicken wrap, also spicy. While very good I preferred the beef. I wasn't hungry enough to go for the buffet, but maybe next time? They also have locations in California, so who knows where or when. Regardless, I like the looks of the buffet. read more

All star all you can eat buffet totally worth the $16.99 especially if you eat veg and non veg food. There are limitless options and I dare you to try them all! So many salads, hummus, baba ghani yah, falafel, baked potatoes and veggies, zatar pita bread, pizza were just among the veg food I tried. Spicy hummus and zatar bread were my favorite. Plenty of desserts to choose from, and of course including baklava which was delicious! I bet you will leave here with your stomach so full and a feeling of great satisfaction. read more

Always fresh, amazing tasty food, very nice service. Great Mediterranean cuisine, I will very Happy to back here

Pleasant surprise. Ordered from here on Uber Eats because of a special offer and good reviews on there. And then noticed that it's a buffet! You wouldn't know it from the food. The chicken and kafta kebabs were flavorful and tender. The rice with lentils was delicious and filling. And the avocado and regular humus were excellent. Good food for a good price with reasonable portion size is increasingly rare these days. It's not a fancy restaurant, but it is very good. Now I'll have to go try it in person sometime. read more

I will say I have ate at many Dimassi's Mediterranean Restaurants and this one has not impressed me much. The Food was of large scale but many entrées which I enjoy eating was either too salty to consume or dry. My favorite the Gyro Meat had more dry meat and some were cut to thick with very little to its taste as well as the Noodle Soup. The Chicken was well seasoned and so was the Rice so plus on that side of the entrée. My first impression was not of a good nature due to some tables being dirty but since I was in a group, I was out voted. The hostess was very pleasant in every way so she gets my rating of 4.0 but overall I give this place a 3.6 rating. read more

Gracious hosts. Delicious food but you must like Mediterranean food Huge buffet with many choices. Ambience also Mediterranean, with guests from several different countries. The food will please Greeks whose food is similar. I have been to several of their restaurants, and to me, all are treats. The buffet is kept appetizing and clean. If you like this type of food, or are curious, the restaurant is a find and a great value. Finally, no one rushes you. Very highly recommended. read more

Omg omg omg. Just Go. Don't hesitate. Just Go. The saddest part of my visit was that I was only a visitor and I don't live in Houston to eat it all the time.

I wasn't a fan of this place. I did really like the rose water they had though. The food just didn't have much flavor to me. I didn't care for their pita. Service is self serve, you serve yourself. They had plenty of seating. Lots to choose from on the buffet but I didn't find anything I tried that wowed me. They had plenty of dessert choices too. I won't go back here. read more

Absolutely love the food and the value. It's not Ci Ci's cheap but then again it's not CiCi's. The flavors are great and the food is fresh.

Great buffet. Salads in abundance. Very quiet. Service is great because you serve yourself . Very nice

Being from New York I've never come across a Mediterranean buffet so I was intrigued when I stumbled upon this place. They had plentiful options various meats, rices, pasta salad, breads and sides; they also had a good Greek salad with the works. I opted for the Greek salad i gabbed some pitas and falafels I was mad I didn't get more falafel dipped in the garlic dip was so good I was suprised. Since not every Mediterranean place does falafel good!! read more

Thumbs Up: Mediterranean food is one of my favorite cuisines, and this place offers it as an all-you-can-eat buffet! Thumbs Up: You can purchase a custom takeout plate, with charges based on weight. Neutral: While the atmosphere is a bit bland, it's a great spot for lunch. If you're dining with coworkers, just be aware that it can get a bit loud at times. read more

If you love to binge on all things veggie, light and flavorful- this is your place. Unpretentious. Consistent good veggies!

It's a meh for me, yelp fam. I came by for takeout, and you actually have to pick through their buffet lineup because they don't do like order ahead a la carte. There's plenty of parking since the whole plaza is basically lined with a bunch of other shops and restaurants. When you walk in, they provide gloves, take-out containers for your dining needs, and hand sani. People were dining in when I went, and there were a few other people doing the buffet walk-through for takeout. I was pretty excited since the reviews looked awesome, but I think a buffet takeout setup leaves little freshness for the experience. The falafels were dry and not the crispy around the edges kind of texture. Their fish was still hot, but it wasn't the best fish I've tasted in terms of flavor. They have lots of sides like chips and pita breads you can dip into various sauces and dip like hummus, tabbouleh, etc. The dips were probably my favorite part of the dining experience. The lady at the service counter was very friendly and kind, so she gets 5 stars with my experience. The food was lackluster for me, at least for COVID takeout. The restaurant itself looked clean and busy. I guess I've just been spoiled with fresh Mediterranean food after living in San Diego for a while. But Dimassi's was lukewarm for this gal. read more
