    Excellent food. Very clean place. Service was fast and friendly. I love the rice and eggplants here. I will be back.

    Food poisoning. I go here a lot and the last time we had a beef dish and my family got very sick. I had to miss work because I was nauseous and threw up. My wife got sick also! And she had exact same symptoms. Too bad.

    Good option for quick food

    Affordable, best to keep fast for 3 days before coming , Food was good , weekend is a-bit expensive,

    Lamb shank

    The food was fresh and everything advertised on the buffet was there. Be sure to check out the lamb shank! You have to order it from a worker, but it is buttery tender and really hits the spot for meat lovers. On top of all of that, the servers were nice and friendly. We're definitely coming back again!

    I've been to my fair share of Dimassi's throughout the city and I can't think of more massive location than this one on Westheimer. Despite the recent facelift, other locations feel newer and less dated, but this place has more parking, seating, and food options than all of them. (#1) Unlike the sister spots that are part of a strip mall, this one stands alone in its own building with limited outdoor seating. It was also a unique space since they had a waterway for decor, but was patched up and filled out sometime last year when they redid the sign. The place is so huge that I've never really seen it full, even during their busiest days on the weekend. Anyone can show up with a group of 40 and I'm willing to bet everyone will fit. The long buffet line makes me feel like this was a cafeteria at some point. The salad options are vast everything from kale caesars to pasta salads to broccoli with cranberries. They have an extensive amount of hot foods, breads (along with pizza), and the standard Middle Eastern dessert options with soft serve. There are some Dimassi's that will have some of these elements, but rarely a place that has all of them. I have had good results with the chicken shawarma here as well as their kofte. The salt and pepper cauliflower is always a hit and the creamy hummus options (avocado, spicy, regular) are tasty. I am really enamored with their lentils and rice, extremely crispy falafels, the lamb gyro slices are easy go-tos. I also think highly of their baba ganoush, tzatziki, and freshly baked warm bread. They also tend to go heavier with the spices on their foods than other locations. It's not all roses though, the baked chicken and steamed fish are a little bland and the pizzas are not really flavorful. I also think the lamb shank can be both gamey and funky at times. The famous Dimassi's pasta is also kind of a watery mess, where it falls apart even before it gets on my fork. They also offer 10% off with a Yelp check-in. They've been generous overall with the service and I've always enjoyed coming here for a lunch meeting, a quick dinner or an all out gluttonous (#2) feast. __________ (#1) Until proven otherwise. (#2) But semi-healthy

    I am very underwhelmed by this location. I was so excited to visit because the Austin, TX, location is so good. I arrived at 2 p.m. The line was stocked nicely, minus a few items. No big deal. However, the items they had available were not great. They were not fresh at all. I don't know if their steam tables struggle to keep items hot, but my selections were, at best, warm. The biggest disappointment was the Baba Ganoush. This is not the same recipe they use at other locations. It was absolutely inedible. I've never experienced this kind of disappointment at any of their other locations.

    Truly just otherworldly so good. Chick pea salad and pita bread were the highlight. 10/10 so yummy

    My family dinned here on Friday evening. Price person was $23.99 and seniors will receive 10% off. The food was great. I liked the baked chicken rice, gyro meat, lamb shank, and grill veggie the most. The buffet also comes with drinks. Can wait to go back.

    On the recommendation of my friend, ordered food for pick up for my dad's birthday! I ordered…read morechicken kubideh, lamb, hummus, the house salad, and lots of seasme bread. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it! The portions were generous and the prices fair. I called to place the order and the person who answered gave me guidance on what to order and how much based on the number of guests! I'd definitely love to return and dine in.

    It wasn't the greatest start since I was waiting for 5 minutes for a host/hostess to attend to us…read more I think she was busting tables or in the kitchen but she was nice once we were accommodated. Once seated our server Baba introduced himself and made great recommendations. Now I'm not the biggest fan of hummus but I'm glad I got to try it. To start off, they brought us some complimentary bread. It came out hot & fresh. The bread was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also enjoyed the roasted sesame seeds that they put on top of the bread. Then I had the mango lemonade drink which I thought was refreshing and the mango was strong. As stated I rarely eat hummus but theirs is made in house and I can tell because it was delicious. It was creamy, nutty, savory and earthy. My friend decided to get their lamb shish kabob combo and I got the soltani kabob. His came with lamb and chicken and mine came with beef tenderloin and ground beef. Both dishes were amazing especially his since the chicken was bursting with flavor. Nicely grilled and seasoned. The lamb was also solid as well, it was tendered. The beef tenderloin was also nicely seasoned & tendered. The ground beef was my least favorite since it tasted like hamburger meat, but I don't hate it. The rice was cooked to perfection. At the end I ordered their dessert and got the Bastani Irani. It says on the website that it's homemade but our server informed us that they purchased it from a vendor. Not a big deal for me since the ice cream was very good. Creamy, sweet and the nuts added texture to the dessert. Baba was kind enough to give me two more breads to take home since I still had hummus leftover, I'm definitely gonna devoured it the next day. It's rare that I eat Persian food but when I do I know it's gonna be good. They do not mess around when it comes to seasoning. Overall, good service, good food, nice decor. I'm looking forward to trying out their seafood kabob the next time I dine in. I also wanna add that this restaurant is on Yelp top 100 for recommendations and I'm not surprised.

    I had a good experience with Kasra Persian grill. The service was good, the food was yummy & I felt…read moreit was a great value. We had a larger party & ended up getting the family platter to split. We also got sides of the hummus and garlic sauce. Their hummus was really delicious! Definitely a standout. All the different kebabs on the family platter were yummy. I liked the chicken kubideh kebab the best! It was nice and juicy w/ good flavor. The jujeh, chicken kebab, and kubideh were all good, but could've been a bit more juicy for my tastes. But overall everything was yummy. The rices were good too - I liked the baghali the most. Ambiance was nice, it was pretty crowded and a bit on the louder, but had a nice and welcoming vibe. They had some interesting artwork. And value was great, it ended up not being too expensive for our table of 6. You can call and make a reservation, I recommend this on weekends as the place was pretty packed. Also - there's a parking garage in the middle of rice village with 2hrs free parking. Definitly recommend that as well because street parking can be hard to find

    I had read through Yelp that people could stand around outside waiting for a long time to get in…read moreduring peak hours because the food is so good. I have grown to trust the people who write reviews, so we went around 5:30-5:45 during the week; it turned out to be a good idea. There were just a few tables that had two, three, and four people. I've been going to restaurants for a long time and for those of you that also go, the moment you walk in there's a smell of food being prepared that wafts out from the kitchen. It's a good smell at Kasra. It was a tad early to get a true vibe, but I didn't care; I wasn't there for the vibe. Our waitress was great and knew what she was talking about. Friendly and polite, she checked on us frequently to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The food was very good and we enjoyed the different tastes from cold to hot appetizers. Make sure you try the hummus I don't stand in any line for anything, but that said if you're looking for the complete experience then go on the weekend around dinner time.
