I couldn't decide which I liked better, lamb or curry chicken. Thank goodness I didn't have to! My wife said the pizza was heavenly! It was all delicious! read more

Great buffet with a huge selection and variety. I always eat here when in town. The Tamarind juice drink is delicious. FYI; buffet price goes up at 4pm and they look at the time at checkout, not when you sit down. read more

The restaurant is always very clean. Food is always good, fresh, and hot. The variety of food in the buffet is impressive.

Mediterranean cuisine can be tricky in taste because it's not always just the Kebabs. It's definitely more than that especially when it comes to a buffet. This location is located at Royal Ln and N MacArthur next to the Race gas station. As we stepped in , we were a little confused on whether to wait for someone to help us get seated because there were hardly any staff in the restaurant with no one at the front desk. We noticed someone was playing with the phone who was actually the staff there. We were a little hesitant to ask if the person was working there but the staff never bothered to come up to check if we needed something. So there goes the 1 star of my 5 star review. To talk on the most important item which is the food, I must say that the varieties they had in their buffet was too many. Every single item from the pita bread and Hummus till the kebabs and rice tastes delicious. Even the soups were pretty good. They also had three dessert dishes. The price of the buffet was a 11.99$ for lunch and 12.99$ for dinner. I don't know why the dinner rates start at 4pm so Yelpers watch out. They also have To Go options for 6.99$. To summarise, this place is worth the try because it's worth the money for sure. Don't get confused at the front desk read more

Amazing food!! The falafel is the BEST iI've had in DFW. Everything tastes homemade and the food is fresh and flavorful! The cream baklava is the perfect way to end the meal. The price isn't bad for a buffet at all, and the workers were very friendly. Can't wait to keep coming back! read more

I originally bought a Groupon but it was only mon-thurs. The buffet looked so good we went ahead and ate. This is fabulous and I would give 10 stars if I could! Healthy choices, fat choices, authentic, and a little westernized. The meat is extremely tender and I loved the gyro meat! We came at 2:30 on a Fri. And the food was still fresh and yummy! Will be back to use the Groupon for sure! read more

You get what you pay for. Spend a little money, and go to Terra's! Food at Terra's is much better tasting, and higher quality!

I love that it's all you can eat and so cheap! It is seat yourself as soon as you walk in. You pay at the register at the end of the meal. The food is so good and seemed quite fresh. There are options for vegetarians. read more

They don't wash food before put out and give to public this is nasty!! I literally ate half of the salad when I noticed things crawling in it and I looked closer there was little bugs big bugs and all I told lady working there and she just asked if I wanted another plate that the bugs wouldn't make me sick that they were just bugs that live in salad!! really!!!??

The food is good and is all you can eat. However, this place has a serious problem regarding the cleanliness. Tables and chairs are not wiped, and I had to go through silverware to find clean ones. Consider bringing your own silverware, or a sanitizing wipe if you plan on coming here. read more

Sadly, I think Dimassis is in the process of pricing themselves out of business. The price is currently $19.39 + tax per person on weekends, which makes it a very expensive option for anyone with kids or elderly parents or members who don't intend to gorge themselves. I believe a buffet business model depends on lots of customers to amortize costs and ensure fresh food is being placed out, and I don't think most people are going to pay this. This place used to be packed, but on a Sunday at lunch time it was mostly empty. Even worse than the buffet prices are the to go prices. It's literally WAY more expensive to get food to go than to order the buffet. Expect to pay around $25 to $30 per person if you fill up a plate to go. You'll be wishing you had gone somewhere else. read more

One of my favorite buffets!! The food there is amazing but the best part for me is the fresh warm unlimited pita bread and one of the best garlic sauces in town. Not easy finding a great garlic sauce read more

The food is very good and there is a variety of food all good the drinks are tasty especially the rose water and the tamarin drink was delicious read more

Don't bother. Food was just above bad. Rice pudding was the only good thing on the menu. I kept looking for the pita bread. Should have been with the hummus but was next to the desserts ont the opposite side of the restaurant. Not a good layout. Even the baklava was not good. How can you make philo dough dessert taste bad. Well they accomplished that. And to top it off they asked for their tip in cash. WOW. Wasn't going yo leave one. When did the service me? I carried all the food to my table. I don't mind giving yo the busser. But the cashier??? No. read more

Decided to go since the reviews were really good online! To my surprise the food displayed looked delicious. Right off the bat I would say save your money because it was not good at all. Food was tasteless and stale. The food tasted like it was sitting there all day. Once sitting down I noticed a couple plates on a table for about 25 min. The place did not give a clean atmosphere & food was nasty. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

So many options at this place The nice thing about this place is that they give you dessert and they give you a drink with the buffet They have plenty of cold options and plenty of hot options This is probably one of the best bangs for your buck when it comes to Mediterranean food I would probably recommend the kafta or the falafel here I also really love the cauliflower as well read more

Came here tonight for a casual dinner with the family. What a great choice! The restaurant is immaculate, even with the number of people coming and going around the buffet. The food was delicious and excellently prepared! We will definitely be back!! read more

I generally enjoy Dimassi's food for a quick, relatively cheap fix of buffet Mediterranean food. However, the lack of safety enforcement is unsettling, even during non-peak hours. * Biggest one for me: please proactively enforce customers to wear masks when they are at the buffet bar. Two men from different tables nonchalantly, with no mask, served themselves food at the bar. * Tables weren't cleaned quickly, so you had to sit at tables you didn't want. Another single eater had to eat at the opposite end of my table because other empty ones were dirty. It makes you wonder how clean the tables are you sit at. * Some of the staff were wearing their masks under their nose. I later saw same person who wore the mask properly. Just needs to be consistent. * I wish the door was left open to let fresh air in, and there were more sanitizer available. The only good thing is that customers were pretty consistent in wearing gloves when they got their food. I ate quickly and skipped dessert. Sadly I won't be coming back for the foreseeable future until COVID safety precautions are significantly improved. read more

This is a true Mediterranean buffet. They switch out food, well I should say refill, constantly. Their falafels are so good! They also have soup selections on deck and plenty of vegan options. The labels can guide you The price includes a drink. Don't forget to taste some of their super strong coffee. (Not for those who like watered down coffee). They have a fruit bar separate from the other sections and it is ALL fresh fruit unlike the canned stuff most buffets put out. If you like homemade food here is the place to go! read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Aftermath! So fresh and delicious - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Yummy everything fresh and clean. Definitely going back. A lot of seating and great choices of dishes and desserts. read more

We had the lunch buffet yesterday since our Groupon was about to expire. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the employee explained the process that we pay after we had dined. I think Andalous ruined us to other med restaurants. The fattoush and tabouleh were ok, but they did not touch the flavor at the other restaurant I mentioned. The fish was drowning in butter and oil; it also tasted fishy, which is never a good sign of it's freshness. As others have mentioned, the restaurant is very open, so sound echoes. Certainly not a relaxing atmosphere with so much noise and people bumping into our chairs since the tables are so close together. Will we return? No. Not worth the cost. read more

Dimassi is definitely one my ultimate favorites when it comes to Mediterranean cuisine! I come here at least once every couple of months. The quality of the food is amazing and it surprises me every time. The restaurant also is VERY consistent and has never let me down. Some of my favorite buffet items would include the garlic butter sauce, the chicken noodle soup, the pita bread, the grilled chicken breasts/thigh and all of the vegetable salad items. Actually, I pretty much love everything here lol. I've been to Afrah's and the other Mediterranean restaurants, but they don't compare to Dimassi's at all. The price is very affordable and there is always groupon coupon deals. Overall: I STRONGLY recommend Dimassi to anyone and everyone.The Irving location is a lot cleaner compared to the Richardson location so try to go that location. Also, there is always a groupon coupon deal so make sure you keep an eye out :) read more

The Richardson location was better. I came in at 6 and the food was a little cold and the pita bread stale. I was disappointed that they did not have baba ganoush and the selection was not as wide as the Richardson restaurant's. The only item I was impressed with was the falafel. On a good note, we had an expiring Groupon that is only valid Mon-Thurs, but the cashier accepted it, although it was a Saturday. Overall, as a fan of Mediterranean food, I wasn't too impressed. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

THE MEDITERRANEAN FEAST THAT NEVER ENDS. Upon entering, this place reminds me of a dining hall feeding the demigods from a mythological time. Tables, chairs, and a buffet overflowing with food. There is an ungodly amount of food and some would say it would end world hunger. There is just something about seeing a pan that is overflowing with beef and lamb gyro that brings me joy and an ravenous appetite. Come in, marvel at the Mediterranean food selection, and begin the journey towards satiety. The Food: GARDENS OF VEGETABLES AND PLATTERS OF MEAT. Tabouli: FRESH FROM THE FORBIDDEN GARDEN: The defining flavor of this dish is the parsley and merciless garlic, but they have tamed its domineering flavor. Refreshing is an understatement and this dish is perfect to complement the grilled meats and cleanse the palette. Roasted Cauliflower: ROASTED HEAVEN: Aside from being aesthetically pleasing with the copper roast marks on the alabaster white branches, the roasting gave this cauliflower strong, savoury flavours. It is very hearty and is the perfect choice for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking for a brief hiatus from meat. Falafel: PROTEINOUS HUSHPUPPIES: Crisp on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Definitely the comfort food of the Mediterranean. Complements the soft meats or can stand on its own as a filling side. Chicken Thighs (in general): THE ONLY THIGHS YOU WILL DESPISE: Despite the effort and complex spices and ingredients, the chicken refuses to bathe itself in this culinary richness. All the chicken thigh dishes had the consistency of boiled, overcooked, and flavorless grocery store chicken (-1 stars). Skip the chicken thighs. Keftedes (meatballs; in general): JUST BALLS: Tastes like boiled meatballs in a tomato-based sauce. Nothing too remarkable, but generally tasted like boiled meat with some pungent spices. Beef/Lamb Gyro: HYBRID MEAT RIBBON: Definitely taste the beef and lamb in between the flooding of spices. The gyro is tender with a beef-tongue consistency. The gyro maintains juicy, meaty moisture which goes along very well with the rice and vegetables. Beef Kebab: LOG OF MEAT THAT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER LOG: Dry, tough, and holding back its true flavors (-1 star). Overall, the texture resembles too much of ground beef as opposed to something transformed from ground beef into something extraordinary. Lamb Shanks: THE SPIRIT AND MEAT OF THE LAMB: Delicious lamb without too much imposing and intimidating lamb flavor. The tendons and ligaments provide a gelatinous texture that complements the flanky meat. Eat these warm and immediately once you get them. When they are left out for too long, the colors darken and the meat becomes very dry and tough. The Desserts: Baklava: THE JEWEL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: Crispy, crunchy, sweet pistachio pastry that breaks like thin, fragile glass. It is the 8th wonder of the world in terms of its complex and nutty sweetness. The pistachio flavor stays in the background, but is enhanced by the rose water syrup. Bet you can't have just one. Rice Pudding: MILK OF MAGNIFICENCE: Cold and therapeutic sweet milks enrobing each rice grain makes this a dessert of refreshing simplicity. This pairs well with the intense meats and ends the buffet meal on a refreshing note. If you enjoy milk, this is the dessert that celebrates the simple sweetness of it. The Verdict: BASIC MEDITERRANEAN. As you should expect, any buffet does not live up to the expectations of any region's cuisine. In the case of Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet, there are many pleasant dishes to sample, but also many left to be desired. My top choices would be the Tabouli, Roasted Cauliflower, Beef/Lamb Gyro, Lamb Shanks, Baklava, and Rice Pudding. As with any buffet, try to have a little bit of everything, because you're paying for more quantity than quality. Do not let me review fool you, Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet is a wonderful place to eat, especially if you are vegetarian, vegan, or looking for a carnivore hiatus. Remember to end your meal with Baklava. Trust. read more

I bought a groupon to this place to check out their food. You still have to pay taxes after the Groupon. They offered a variety of salads and meat options as well as vegeterian options. We were able to try a few items off their buffet line. The pita bread and hummus were really good. The gyro mean was tender but could have used more flavor. The falafel was really good and fresh. Their chicken was a little on the dry side, but it was flavored really well. The rices were perfect, not over or under cooked. As for the desserts, the rice pudding was my favorite and the baklava was really good. The ambience reminded of a noisy school cafeteria, and the food was average. I'll come back. read more

Yum! A great go-to for a healthy and delicious meal. Really any type of eater will find something they love here--gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, whatever. You can't go wrong with any of the eggplant dishes (this is making me hungry!) I love to fill up a container on my way home from work so I'll have a yummy meal when I get home. I don't know why, but the food seems to be higher quality (or maybe better prepared) than a different location that is closer to my house, even though they obviously use the same recipes. Cashiers are pleasant and easy to talk to. read more

This is the best food I've had on my weeklong Dallas business trip. I came because I love Mediterranean food, and I was intrigued by a buffet. The food was really wonderful. From appetizers to desserts, there is a great variety of options here. The food was fresh, and every bite was delicious. I began by creating a mezza for myself. There were a few different styles of hummus, a delicious, smoky babaganoush, lots of cold salads, freshly made falafel, and several flavorful flatbreads. The entrees were also great: there were too many to remember, but they ranged from mansaf to kufta to kebabs to gyro. There were beautifully grilled vegetables and roasted potatoes. I would have loved to have tried everything, but my stomach ran out of room. Besides, I really wanted to taste the variety of desserts. Besides lots of fruit, there was halwa, baklava, rice pudding, and some delightful jam cookies. The tab for my meal, including beverage, was around $16 at dinner time. I will definitely return on my next Dallas trip! ---------- With such a glowing review, why four stars instead of five? I was confused when I got to the restaurant, and stood inside the door for a few minutes trying to figure out what to do. There were several employees milling around the front of the restaurant, but nobody spoke to welcome me, seat me, or tell me to seat myself. Surely they saw me! I eventually seated myself, but I did not feel particularly welcome. Nobody said a single word to me the entire time I was there, until I approached the cashier to pay. read more

Terrible value, went there with family for a Saturday lunch buffet. Had a poster board with prices for dinner and adult/kid prices M-F but no information for Saturday or age information on kids. We had 4 adults and 4 "kids" from 4 to 13. Paid almost $200 since cashier said kids were only less than 7 years and weekends were peak prices. Food was very bland with very little flavor. Much better food choices in DFW Area. read more

The lunch buffet here is awesome. $10.99 includes drink, soup, coffee, tons of different salads, meat, rice, pita bread and dessert as well. A really good lunch option if you want to have a lot of veggies. I also apprecite they have signs explaining what ingredient is included so I know what I'm eating. All food looks fresh. I don't get a chance to try everything so save some options for next visit? Lol Their baklava is very flaky!! I guess I need to try to find the groupon deal that other yelpers have talked about so I can save some money :D I will be back :))) read more

Tasty Mediterranean buffet. When you walk on, bypass the cashier stand on the left. (You pay when you leave.). Find yourself a table. Then start setting your plate up for a delicious meal. I tried, not everything, but lots of the buffet and everything was good. There is lots of variety. We came during lunch on a work day and it was busy but manageable. The restaurant is big. It has an odd ambiance. If you like buffets and Mediterranean food, then this will be a winner. read more
