GYRO WRAP

I wish I could give 0 stars. This is absolutely the WORST food I have ever received. I worked 4am-5pm and wanted to have a nice meal without cooking and instead I get some disgusting meat and half an onion shoved in a wrap. It was ONLY ONION!? I took two bites, one by itself self and another adding my own hot sauce to cancel out how foul this tasted. I literally had to vomit just thinking about this atrocity. I also ordered the eggplant and it looked like canned dog food that was stored for decades & tasted like vinegar.

A little high priced for a buffet at $21.99 ea but then again this is located right outside the woodlands mall. You might call and ask for prices and maybe during week it is cheaper??? Maybe this was the weekend price? but you can also order steak and or their proteins and they will grille to order fresh. Plenty of choices and gluten free if that is your thing. Near end if buffet they have a really spicy and hot steak and veggies item that I really liked but I like spicy. Everything you see on my plate was very good. Plenty of parking and plenty of tables. I would go again for sure.

Buffet options

Lots of choices in the buffet. Food is decent but I do think this buffet is overpriced. The hummus and salad variety is one of the best parts of the buffet. They also do lamb shanks and euro if you ask at the buffet line.

Tabouli Salad Hummus Baba Ghanoush OH MY!

Dimassi's has been here awhile and six years is a long time between reviews. What has changed? Not much.Background music remains a relief from kitchen noises. Exposed pipe, ducts, electrical wiring compete with subtle lighting, granite tables, and the brown and black color scheme decor. Frankly, I find little that appeals to me about the food: Seasoning always seems lacking and meat's always seem dry.....but ONE thing keeps me interested: The humble eggplant. By Golly, this is what I must have about every 6 years! Baba ghanoush and a stewed eggplant in pomegranate paste: who would've thunk SO GOOD!

Ate here after driving in from New Orleans and it was definitely worth the money. Everything tasted so fresh! I loved the okra and the falafels! And yes the pita bread was fresh baked! Definitely good To note though that the lamb shank is ONLY during dinner hours.. we thought it was part of the buffet all day according to TikTok... The guys at the buffet were helpful, but I do wish there was someone there when you walk in so that we could be told what to do and expect. We kind of just walked in and helped our self. Overall, it was a very nice and chill spot for some delicious Mediterranean food

The food was a little worse than the other Dimassi's I've been to, but nice atmosphere. The main meets were a little dry. Maybe bad timing.

What day(s) are the lamb shanks available? Is it served for lunch? Or, just dinner? Or, by special request?

I don't know what days exactly but we've been on a Saturday around 6pm and Sunday around 5 pm and they had them then . https://dimassis.com/menu/ this is their website I don't see where it says it's only at specific days or times

Is this place dank?

How about you read the reviews? But it's a buffet so... come hungry, leave stuffed.

The menu was also a good size not overwhelming, but still enough variety to choose from. We made reservations and, although there appeared to be open seating toward the front, we were taken to the back. We ordered Hurricanes, lamb chops and the fried sampler, and I can honestly say the food was delicious. Our waiter was also kind, attentive and took great care of us. Unfortunately, something about the seating began to make me uncomfortable as the evening went on. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the fairer-skinned patrons coming in appeared to be seated toward the front, while guests who looked more like us were being seated toward the back. I obviously can't speak to the restaurant's reasoning or whether there were other factors involved, but once I noticed the pattern, it was difficult for me to ignore. It made me uncomfortable enough that I eventually lost my appetite and couldn't finish my meal. That's unfortunate because the food itself was genuinely good and our waiter did nothing wrong. But the overall experience matters just as much to me as what's on the plate, and I left feeling uneasy about what I observed. Because of that, I personally don't see myself returning to this location.

The moment I walked through the door, the smell alone had me questioning why I hadn't ordered anything for myself. I walked up to the counter, gave them the name on the order, and boom the food was in my hands. I truly appreciate a restaurant that respects to-go times, and they absolutely nailed it. While exiting, I noticed they also offer a lunch buffet from 11-2:30 which immediately caught my attention for a future visit. Now comes the dangerous part. The kids opened their containers of butter chicken with rice and spicy aloo, and my mouth instantly started watering. The portions were generous, and I found myself asking the same question over and over...**Why didn't I order anything?!** Curiosity officially got the best of me, so yes... I stole a bite. Actually... maybe two. The butter chicken was incredibly flavorful with a rich, creamy sauce that had me wishing there was another container with my name on it. But the real surprise for me was the spicy aloo. I'd never had potatoes prepared quite like that before, and they completely stole the show. I wanted that entire side for myself. Needless to say, next time I'm not just picking up food for the family I'm ordering my own meal too. This visit was more than enough to convince me I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu.

I made reservations for 6:15 ahead of time and was seated right away. Once we got to our table we were quickly greeted by our first waitress. She was nice but I kinda felt she had a concerned look on her face like someone just told her something that irritated her lmao. My wife said she felt she was giving her a dirty look. Idk. Not because of the waitress, I asked to move a table over because I preferred the view from there. We were initially behind a pillar. The vibe was nice and some patrons were dressed way more casually than I expected. I know it's not a super duper fancy place but still, it surprised me a little. When we moved over we had a few other people tend to us, but Michael was the main one who would continue to come by the most. He was awesome. Super polite and friendly, attentive but not overly. I went out of the way to stop the manager and tell her he was awesome. In the same breath, I said the same about a gaucho named Diego. Apparently he's knew, but he was very friendly and would make casual conversation with us. All gauchos were good, but he stood out. Shoutout Michael and Diego! To drink we had our waters and I ordered this bourbon drink that was good, and my wife had a sangria. The sangria was a very generous portion and she couldn't finish it. Onto the food! I wish I would've taken more pictures but I was in the zone! I only managed to snag a picture of their shrimp appetizer. It was 6 large shrimp with cocktail sauce. It was solid but I'd probably order something different next time. Now onto the meats! I said yes to every single piece of meat that was offered to me lol. Sadly, the filet mignon was my favorite and came out last. So good! Super tender and flavorful. Easily my favorite. I didn't get a chance to try the Parmesan chicken which I remember loving from years ago. Other meats were all solid as well. There was a spicy meat that was runner up. I did make two goes at the salad bar and loaded up on deli meats, cheese, salmon, and their chicken salad. The cheese bread they bring out to you is good too. They brought complimentary polenta and caramelized plantains that were very good as well. I'll definitely be back sooner than later, and maybe sooner than anticipated because I did receive a promotional text from them for 50% off my next visit. I left so full I felt I was sweating haha.

Management, hear me out... Imagine a football coach telling their players they can only play "zone…read morecoverage." Now, there are times when this may work well, however this doesn't translate well to restaurant settings. We had a minimum of 5 different waitstaff. It was so confusing to know who to ask for what. Another key component to making this "zone coverage" work is having effective communication between staff members. If they are not communicating then messages will get lost and efforts will be exhausted. For example, we would make a request to one waitstaff who would then say "oh okay I'll let them know." Then when another waitstaff approached the table, we were like "Did they let y'all know?" And they're like "let me know what?"... Waitstaff were just bouncing around from one end of the restaurant to the other end of the restaurant. No rhyme or reason, just flying by the seat of their aprons...It seemed exhausting for them and also confusing for customers. So to sum up what I'm trying to convey, revising your staff coverage procedures may be helpful for all parties involved. Now to the food... Food is always amazing. From the salad bar, to the freshly sliced meats, to the savory Pão de Queijo...All items were fresh, flavorful, and left me feeling beyond stuffed per usual. I love this place but waitstaff coverage could definitely be revised for a more streamlined service.

There are some cool features. But it probably needs a general refresh, and at the time, air conditioning wasn't working. And separately from that, there was an issue with the electricity. So the neon lights in the bar kept linking on and off. I had to ask to move. Parking: this is the shared parking lot, and though you might walk a minute or two, it's not an issue.
