    Dimassi's has the best Mediterranean food and we love buffets; it doesn't get any better than that. We usually get some soup, 4 kinds of hummus, let me say this hummus is so good you want to forget your manners to lick the plate clean. We also like chicken kabobs, 3 kinds of rice, beef, ribs, lamb in coconut milk, all kinds of fruit and desserts. They do not have table service but they keep the buffet full. If you haven't tried Mediterranean this is a great place to start

    I love going to a buffet for the simple reason that it's ALL you can eat. I don't need to "agonize" over what to order. On the flip side, the fear of overeating sometimes makes me think twice. But dimassis's is one of those places I don't have to worry about consuming more than I should. They have a good variety of salads and veggies! I've been to this place many times with my friends and family. I always go for their salads. I'm not very picky about salads. So they all look to me. I love their parsley salad and green salad. There is also a good selection of hummus. I love beets. Their chunky, blood red beet is a must for me. To go with my veggies, I always get at least a bowl of their soup. Lentil soup is my favorite, which is very savory. Of course, I won't pass up their pita bread, fresh and fluffy. As to meat options, I like their grilled tilapia, gyros, and chicken kabobs. They are all very delicious! For beverages, I love their rose tea, which I rarely see at other Mediterranean restaurants. To conclude my meal, I get their signature and my favorite dessert, baklava. It's very nutty, but not too sweet. I usually get at least a couple to satisfy my sweet tooth! This place is quite big. I never have any trouble getting a table even for a large party. The service there is fine. Since it's buffet style, you basically serve yourself. So I have no complaints :)

    I came here with a group from work for a going away lunch. The ambiance has a Mediterranean feel. It was decorated festive for Ramadan. The service was good. It's pretty much self service you get your own drinks and the food is buffet style. So on to the food. I really wasn't sure what to expect. I like my food well seasoned and I've eaten Mediterranean food that was bland. I looked at the food online and it looked like there was a good variety and a coworker told me they thought it was good but I still had to see for myself. I got a good variety the first time around from the spicy hummus, pasta, salad, variety of chicken and rice, fried chicken, baked tilapia, and chicken kabobs, and fish. All were well seasoned and tasty. I was surprised. This was some of the most flavorful well seasoned Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. I was impressed with the fried chicken and baked tilapia. I also really enjoyed the spicy hummus. I'm not really big on sweets but my coworkers did give the sweets a thumbs up. I'd recommend this spot if someone is looking for an ethnic buffet and I know it was a ideal location for people celebrating Ramadan and breaking their fast.

    Good buffet spot. Clean, spacious and a large selection of meats and various salads. I'd say it's one of the better buffet spots around town. Everything is self serve and you pay upon entering. They have a few different types of chicken dishes and kebab/gyro type meats. Also a few different selections of rice and traditional pita bread. Not bad at all and recommend if you can handle all the food.

    4 stars, could be 5 but needs some improvement. The man at the front, super not friendly. I have gone here many times, never friendly, he doesn't even smile. They have gloves which is nice when handling all the food spoons. Great array of salads and cold sides. I do wish they had more of Greek style tzatziki. They have a cucumber yogurt dip but it's not the best when you are a tzatziki lover. The food is decently flavorful some things are better than others. I enjoy having options. I had salsa with sides and pita. After that chicken, two different styles. They are cooked well. I tried the fried chicken but not a fan. Then I had some lentil soup which is good and not salty. The rice and veggies are good, I wish they had some sautéed onions in with the veggies or on their own. I ended with a tasting of their desserts (forgot to take pic) which are good. Rice pudding was empty and it was 8:30 so I wish there would have been some. They even have ice cream but have to ask for that. It was a Saturday and the cost was $26 with tax. I think it's worth that, they do have a luch price during the week. Lots of seating, accommodates big parties, kid friendly.

    It's a buffet so ambiance is so so and it's self service. Not the best Mediterranean food I've had but it's unlimited and if you're not craving anything particular it's the way to go. There baba ghanous, garlic sauce and gyro are my personal faves. Load up on their meats and dips- skip the dessert in my opinion.

    Ask the Community - Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet

    Hi. My kid is allergic to some oils. Is there ingredient list of the mils?

    Nobody knows what you're asking.

    What is your brand of chicken is it hand cut halal?

    Do you have any dessert options for vegans?

    No why would they.

    Do you make your hummus in house and is your feta cheese pasteurized (safe for pregnant women)?

    Yes we do. Our Feta cheese is made out of pasteurized whole milk.

    No one answers call wonder if it open for dinner today as 5/5/2021 ? What's the price?

    Try going in and asking next time.

    Are you currently open for self serve buffet and able to dine in?

    Yes we are. Bring your mask and you’re good to go...looking forward to seeing you!

    Is it 100% halas?

    I talked to owner of this place he was truly religious man. I do not think he will use non halal meat. You can call and ask.

    What meats do you serve on your buffet?

    Kafta kabobs, chicken kabobs, gyro, grilled chicken, shredded beef, meat balls, fried chicken, fried fish, baked fish and lamb shanks.

    Is it still self serve buffet or have they changed the set-up so that only the employees are touching the utensils?

    Hi Melanie. It is still self serve, however, it is mandatory for everyone prior to touching the utensils to use hand sanitizer and wear gloves. Sanitizer and gloves are provided at multiple spots. In addition, social distancing, table separation,… 

    Can you bring your own alcohol beverage?

    Unfortunately, alcohol beverages are not allowed inside the restaurant.

    In one of the pictures I saw a sign that said "take all you want but eat all you take" and there was a sur charge per lb. Does that mean you get to take what you don't eat home at that charge?

    I didn't see anyone enforcing this rule. Also, I didn't see boxes for "to-go". The food was delicious and I'd recommend checking them out. Just don't be wasteful and you'll be just fine. :)

    Do you serve just one lamp shank for each visitor?

    Nobody knows what a lamp shank is.

    Anyone know if there are vegan options?

    Yes. Most Mediterranean vegetarian food is also vegan. Stuffed grape leaves, hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, etc. Just don't eat the items with feta cheese like the Greek salad.

    Are there items that are completely dairy-free (no milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, etc)? If so, what are the examples of these dairy-free foods? Are there signs on the buffet or do we have to ask the kitchen?

    It is easier to list the Items with dairy products (contain milk, butter or yogurt): Spinach with Feta cheese, chicken Kabob, grilled chicken, pasta salad, Greek salad, rice pudding, tatziki sauce, yogurt with cucumbers sauce, namora and coconut… 

    What's the difference between weekday and weekend dinner? Just wondering about the price difference?…

    Wk days dinner: $12.72 + tax Weekend and Friday dinner: $14.77 + Tax

    Is this BYOB?

    Although there is no specified prohibition to BYOB, the owners and staff are Muslim and alcohol is forbidden by their religion. To bring alcohol to DiMassi's would be disrespectful in my opinion.

    What is the dinner price? Also is there a kids price?

    Lunch price Monday-Friday.... $11.99 + tax Dinner price Monday-Thursday...$12.92 + tax Weekend price… 

    What's the price for kids? Also, is there lamb curry? If so, is it available all week long or only…

    Age 3-9.......$8.99 + tax

    The lamb shank is included in the price?

    It is all included.

    What is the price for lunch?

    Monday-Friday $11.99+ tax Sat-Sun $14.82 + tax

We also got the lamb shank Plov which was another favorite, and lastly the dumplings, which were our least favorite. The dumpling dough was a but too thick for our liking.

We also ordered the samosas (delicious lamb filling combined with a crispy flaky pastry) and gosh naan (it's like a flat pie, crispy pastry outside and a juicy lamb filling on the inside). Service was very friendly and helpful. Staff answered all our questions and made suggestions for the order. Parking is a shared lot which can be very busy on weekends. I am coming back.

I used to regular have to ask for corrections but that hasn't been an issue of late.
