Such a hidden gem that deserves way more attention! Genuinely some of the best Mediterranean food…read morein the League City/NASA area. We started with a sampler platter of appetizers, and let me tell you: you could tell the dolmas ("grape leaves" on the menu) were made fresh that morning, the hummus was delicious, the salad was refreshing, and the kibbeh and falafel were tasty too. The lamb sandwich was so good; I don't usually like pickles, but I did in that sandwich! We went for a late lunch/early dinner (3pm ish) and it was very quiet inside. Our server was conversational and fun! Highly recommend: go here if you want to support an under-appreciated Mediterranean restaurant in the area.

The falafel super savory and crunchy, I liked it. The only thing we didn't like was the tabbouleh, it wasn't fresh. Next time we'll try something different.

I'm honestly really disappointed with this specific experience at Water Stone Ranch…read more First, the bathrooms are absolutely unacceptable. Both the one in the back and the one near the cars were extremely dirty every time we've visited. There was liquid all over the floors (and honestly, I really hope it was just water), used tissues everywhere, no soap available, and the paper towel dispenser was jammed. The tiles were cracked and filled with dirt and what looked like urine, and the sinks were filthy. This has been the case every visit, which shows serious lack of maintenance. Second, the management was extremely unprofessional. The employees themselves were actually great, friendly and polite, but the owner's behavior was shocking. When we arrived, we saw multiple groups with outside food and drinks, including full boxes of pizza and other meals, coolers, and more. There was no clear signage or policy stating that outside food or drinks weren't allowed. If that is a rule, it needs to be clearly communicated, not enforced by embarrassing guests. Overall, between the consistently filthy bathrooms and the rude, unpredictable management, this place was a very negative experience. The staff was kind, but unfortunately that doesn't make up for everything else. I hope they improve someday.

This is an outdoor restaurant on a Ranch. It is a bit far out like into the countryside because it…read moreis a true ranch. It was hard to find at first because there is no large sign or instructions on how to get to the restaurant. You will have to drive through gravel and maybe pot holes. When I reached the destination I parked and there's an area with hanging lights up above and once you walk further the restaurant is there. There's also a playground for kids. It looks like they would be limited on parking. I don't recommend coming here after it rains your shoes will get muddy. The server is very friendly and explains everything. The breakfast is unlimited at $25 per person. It reminded me of a charcuterie board but you know Turkish style. It's an outdoor restaurant so if you prefer to eat inside this is not the place for you. With outdoor eating you have the weather, views, and insects-flies and bees. The experience is worth it though. It is more of a hang out spot though.

Everything we've had here tastes delicious, is light, and not too salty. I love having the lentil soup as an appetizer, along with the shepherd salad (we added feta) and fried eggplant. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the cheese rolls, but my family enjoyed them. For our meals, we ordered fillet and chicken, both of which you can't go wrong with! For dessert, we ordered the sutlac and keskul, both of which are like rice pudding. The sutlac is my personal favorite though! And of course, we had to get tea with our dessert. The servers here are all so kind, and the service is quick. There is plenty of parking available in a lot. Overall, I highly recommend Empire Turkish Grill if you're craving/wanting to try Turkish food!

Somehow this Habib guy with this phone number was assigned to help us with a flat tire through USAA…read moreroadside assistance. The time kept changing when he would be here and when we finally called, he said 15 min. away. That time came and went. Meanwhile, my 100% DISABLED VETERAN husband had to try to change it himself in 90 degree heat. When I called Habib to cancel, he didn't seem to care about the lack of response time and just said, "Sounds good." This roadside assistance request was made at 12:16 PM and it was nearly 4 PM when we canceled. I don't know why a restaurant person is out changing tires for USAA, but I hope you never rely on him for roadside assistance. Hopefully his food is better than his roadside service. A complaint has been lodged through USAA as well.

Pack of 4, which was good. Chicken Sharma-- glad it wasn't on super thick bread, and I got extra pickles so I really liked it. Philly cheese steak-- it was a lot more bread than meat. Wouldn't get it again. Fries that came with the sandwiches- soggy, old tasting. Not fresh, crispy or hot. Really disappointed with the fries since thats the only thing one of my kids will eat. Also, again, no ketchup, and wasn't offered any. Mawal plate with salad and hummus-- my favorite thing, as the salad was fresh tasting and I liked the hummus. Had to warm the pita up, but it made all the difference. Chicken tawook with rice and fries -pack separate, I didnt try it. We will need to make sure to ask for silverware, napkins and ketchup next time. So, basic stuff, but I would come again for the kibbe and mawal plate.

Dimassi's is the first GREEK buffet I've ever dined at. The restaurant is clean and the…read moreMediterranean decor is lovely. There's plenty of space for large parties, and you're greeted kindly once you enter. Unlike most buffets I've been to, at Dimassi's, you pay AFTER you've had your fill. Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet is surprisingly not very expensive. Their food is freshly made, straight from the kitchen and everything at the buffet is always kept at the right temperature. There's multiple kinds of salads, hummus, meats, fresh veggies, pasta, beans, rice dishes, and desserts. Their pita bread and flatbreads are freshly baked from the oven. They even serve authentic Greek coffee. Most of the dishes are what you'd typically see in Mediterranean cuisine. While, there's some classic American comfort food mixed in. Dimassi's offers pick up orders, if you're not in the mood for buffets. I liked their chicken kebabs, but they're too thick. I wouldn't recommend the meatballs. They were dry and lacked flavor. The tomato sauce the meatballs were steeped in didn't help. The sauce was watery and very bland. Their Beef Kofta is delicious, but very rich, so I wouldn't eat more than one piece. Their rice pudding wasn't the best either. It still had chunks of rice. Dimassi's doesn't have much to offer for little kids. They only had cheese pizza, fried chicken wings, fries, banana pudding with vanilla wafers, and only one kind of cookie. I think I'll take my mother here sometime, though.

The lunch special is quite generous, and includes a wide array of starters and entrees. With 5 people, we tried 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees and got a good sampling of their menu. The chicken shish kebab, falafel, lamb kebab, and menemen were all well seasoned and paired nicely with the many dishes of rice, salad, and flatbread they all came with. The lentil soup was also delicious. I was with my parents, who really only have a desire to eat East and Southeast Asian food, but they still enjoyed our meal here, which is saying a lot.
