Came on a Monday during lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One table in here. Love that for me and bestie. I'm sure they don't love that so much.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't usually do follow up reviews, and I'm kinda the person who thinks you should try something different every time you go to Vegas. But this place? It's a keeper. Foods amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Musics awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food really is worth all the money. I tell my Vegas friends about this place. read more

Chickpeas in on the corner of Jones and flamingo is an absolute delight. The buffet offer so many favorites, fresh and plentiful. I really enjoyed the lamb shank, the lentil soup and the fresh tzatziki sauce. Weekends are slightly higher, but well worth the money which you pay for this meal anywhere else. Strongly recommend. read more

If you want to taste a bunch of Mediterranean dishes, teas and desserts, then the weekday lunch buffet is your best bet. It also includes one serving of a HUGE LAMB SHANK and that makes it worth the price of the $20 weekday lunch buffet! Lots of proteins, salads and rice choices. Best part is that the majority of the dishes are NOT spicy but flavorful and not garlic heavy. One can see the dill and other spices in their dishes. The lentil soup was the spiciest dish for me. I liked the large sized plates, too. Walk up to the counter/cashier and order FIRST. Friendly workers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean kitchen and buffet area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of hand sanitizer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of parking. I think the owner was sitting near us. Guy Fieri has stopped in for a past visit. They also have a quick buffet take-out/one trip plate sold by weight. The ala carte bowls/plates are all under $20. A great quick, clean and easy place for great Mediterranean food. read more

Tried this Mediterranean buffet recently. They have two locations, but the Rainbow one was closed, so we ended up going to their Flamingo location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is halal and has a cozy vibe, though it's quite small with limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was just okay overall. The variety was pretty limited, and it seemed like only one lady was managing everything, which might explain the slower service and lack of options. The BBQ-style chicken was probably the highlight for me--it had good flavor. However, the rice was dry, and there weren't many salad choices. Desserts were disappointing. They felt dry, and the baklava was overly sweet and too syrupy. Overall, it didn't quite meet expectations. I've definitely had much better Mediterranean food elsewhere, so this one wasn't a favorite for me. read more

Yet another place my husband found on YouTube. We had to drive across town. Parking was available and free. The place is very small without a lot of seating. You can sit outside if weather permits. We were seated without waiting after paying about $22 a person. It wasn't too busy at about 2 pm. The buffet was not a long one. Some of the items were gone and didn't refill. Our timing was obviously off. I didn't know what some of the items were because they weren't marked. Most of the dishes I tried didn't taste very good. Each person could get 2 desserts. The most memorable dishes were a creamy chicken soup and the rice pudding. I didn't care for the baklava sadly because I love it. The drinks left a lot to be desired. The staff were nice enough and our dishes were cleared. Overall there wasn't much here to warrant more than a two star rating. We have been to Indian buffets that cost less and the food is better. read more

I ordered through a delivery app and got 2 orders of the ground mixed kabob. The rice had good flavor, but it was a bit dry. The pita bread was also dry. I wish the tomato had been grilled more. It didn't have the char I was looking for. On a positive note, the kabobs were flavorful. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Overall, it was okay. I'd probably try it again, and hope it's better next time. read more

The buffet here is very reasonably priced and they have quite a variety of items to choose from. I enjoyed the buffet, but in all fairness I feel I need to point out a couple of shortcomings. One of the leading items in the buffet is their lamb shanks, which are limited to one to a customer. I enjoy lamb, but unfortunately, I thought this lamb shank was of poor quality. The meat was tough and it was quite tasteless. They also offered shrimps with cocktail sauce, which looked quite tempting, but they turned out to be quite rubbery and not very appetizing. That being said, there were many other items in the buffet that I really enjoyed. I particularly liked the meatballs. They are served in a delicious mediterranean style sauce. As in just about any buffet, it pays to be choosy and go for the items you like most. read more

For an AYCE place, I'll say it's a good value considering what is offered and the taste of the food. There are many options from salads, meats to sweets. You can get the big lamb shank once, all items are AYCE. Lemonade and teas are included in the buffet. You go to the counter to pay first, then find your own seats and pick a plate to pick the food. They come by from time to time to clean up your dirty plates. For the food, I will say it's fair. Most of the items are a little bit too salty. Some items, especially meats and foshes are a little bit old to me when I went. It's an eatery type local place, nothing fancy. read more

This one is a Yelp assignment to write my experiences here from last August. Here goes. I believe this was the ayce buffet with the small dining area around it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]KIM, there is also outside seating (but not for us in August).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pretty tasty Mediterranean, Indian fare, considering sitting under lights for hours isn't good for any food. The kebab meat was moist and the pita stayed fresh. Pro Tip(s): Try to pick peak hours to visit. Yes, there are more people, but it forces them to bring out fresh product more often. 2nd tip- When something is refilled, head to it while it's fresh. That's what I did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really no atmosphere to speak of, but, there were plenty of food options available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The quality and taste of the food were far above expectations, especially for buffet style. The price was also very reasonable, especially for LV. The few staff we spoke with were very hospitable, eager to provide you with what you need. I remember there was a 3% card fee. Fairly common these days. Bring cash. 01/26 (08/25) read more

This place is such a hidden gem! It's small family owned authentic delicious Mediterranean food very reasonably priced. You cannot be there lunch buffet. My mom and I like to come here for lunch every so often. Every single thing I've tried on their buffet line is so delicious. Everything is super fresh season perfectly and cooked to perfection as well. The food is not hiding in a sugary, salty sauce to mask the pork quality. The fruits, vegetables and proteins are all top-notch. If you come at lunchtime, the small dining room can get very busy and the tables are set up so you may end up sharing a table with somebody you don't know my mom and I have that happened to us today which we were OK with it but if you're not, this might not be a spot for you at prime lunchtime. You can however, get food to go if that's not your jam. Something I had today that I have not seen on their menu before was the turkey cheese pastry wrap oh my goodness out of this world! This is our favorite Mediterranean spot for casual delicious food in Las Vegas! read more

I'll start with I didn't enjoy much for the $25.00 buffet. Everything I saw on Yelp said $20 but Fri-Sun is $25. I enjoyed the dolmas, the hummus was delicious, & the pita was decent... and 1 of chicken dishes grilled was delicious too. The thing they put out called falafels were definitely NOT falafel, it was like a vegetable fritter (disappointed). The desserts were DRENCHED in rosewater. I would much rather pay more for better food. read more

Came here for lunch and tried the lunch buffet. Good variety of items, but nothing had any real depth of flavor. All the dishes were very bland. read more

Friend brought me here that offers Mediterranean and Indian cuisine. Thought that was an odd combination but also curious to try. It was on a weekend. There were a number of tables available so we were quickly seated. You have an option to go a la carte or buffet. We went for the buffet to try everything they had and there was plenty. Started off with the tabuleh, baba ghanoush and hummus. They have plenty of choices of chicken from chopped tandoori to butter chicken. As part of the buffet, you can get 1 lamb shank per person. The lam shank was tender and juicy. In addition, there were a number of seafood dishes... salmon, white fish and mussels. For desserts, they have baklava and cream puffs. Buffet comes with free lemonade, ice team and coffee. Given the quality to value, it was very good. For Sunday, it was $25 per person. Staff were friendly. Place need a little updating. read more

Everything was wonderful. Friendly staff great food. I ate too much. I highly recommend this joint. I especially love the Lamb shack.

I came here a little before noon for the lunch buffet.. the space is bright, and there seems to be a lot of tables jammed into a small space. The staff were not welcoming or particularly friendly, but they weren't rude either. There's not really much explanation about how the buffet works, and i ended up bussing my own table.. They have a large variety of dishes to choose from on the buffet: too large. Nothing really tasted fresh, and the staff were too busy working on the takeout orders to care/notice what food was sitting at the buffet/for how long. The beverage selection includes water, unsweetened tea and lemonade with a Motel 6-style plastic cup to consume it. No ice. Ugh! I love ice Nonetheless, the lemonade was quite tangy, and i didn't try the tea. They also have a selection of hot teas, but I'm not sure how those would hold up in the bathroom cups, so i skipped it. The food tasted old. I personally love a good tzatziki, and there's was about 5 minutes away from being too sour to eat. The hummus was bland and forgettable. The tabbouleh was decent, but not worth $22 by itself . They promised they'dout more pita bread, but if they did, to they never told me about it The butter chicken was decent. I know things might have been good if they were made fresh, but stale/sour/old Mediterranean food sitting on the line is my my idea of a good time. I tried the chicken, barley, mushroom soup despite the fact that it was all separated and sad looking. It lived up to its appearance. I wasted my appetite on this place, but the nice, open kitchen, Stash tea bags (even though i couldn't find the cup to pour it in) and reasonably clean bathroom give it an extra star. Skip it anyway read more

Saw a post on IG. All day buffet!! Yes, please! It was so worth it for me! The lamb shank alone was worth the $20! You walk in, pay and pick any table. Beginning of the buffet are your dips, salads, veggie stuff. Then comes the good stuff! The meats! It's one lamb shank per person. They were slow to refill the meats. The first go any had the lamb shank, no kabobs. When the kabobs did come out, it was only a few pieces. Go for the shank and falafels! Buffet includes a drink bar of ice tea, lemonade, water, hot tea and coffee. Ice tea and lemonade are not your typical ice tea and lemonade. Taste it first. It's a tight squeeze in there! Like 8-10 tables very close together with the buffet line right there. There is an outdoor covered dining as well. It is on the west outskirts of Las Vegas. Has its own parking! read more

07SEP25 Update Guy Fieri, That explains a lot. Dudeman who calls himself chef who never even attended Culinary School. And shot a whole segment on how to make Kimchee, then called Napa Cabbage salad, a Kimchee. But, going back to my review of your wretched place that you call a café ... use less food extenders in your Koobideh and more beef, and you won't have to use so much salt. Next, days old Chicken Tikka Marsala that looks like it was made on Friday on the buffet is not a good optic. ~~~~~~~~~ Don't think the owners or the Chef are Middle Eastern, Indian, Persian, nor Mediterranean. That is why all their food items are inconsistent and not genuine to the said related cultures. The Persian, Koohbideh Kabab had too much flour and tasted like a bad Cantonese Meat Ball, usually done in pork. To compensate for the cheaper starch to "extend" the meat batter, they used way too much salt to give it a notion that it was meat. Also, Persians don't skewer ground chicken and make a Kabob. Didn't even try the weeks old Chicken Tikka Marsala, as they call it butter Chicken here. Okay they have pizza and hamburgers too ... what? Major Identity crisis. The conjecture, Chinese Dudeman on his phone playing whatever vapid game in the dinning room is the owner. Didn't even bother to greet me. The dish washer/bus person dude grabs food from the buffet at 11:00 in the morning and starts chowing down as he walks to the back. Humus was okay, lamb shake was a bit under par in quality. Won't be back ... they bus in drunk people from the Strip. CAN YOU SAY TOURIST TRAP? DO BETTER, THIS IS LAS VEGAS. read more

It has been several years since I last went here, and it was my mother's first visit. What we saw and experienced caused us to leave without ordering food. Here is what happened.... [[HIGHLIGHT]]First impression was the restaurant was empty, there were rags on the floor in the kitchen, and it didn't exactly seem spotless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The main issue that caused us to leave was the bathrooms were inaccessible and certainly not even close to being ADA compliant. My mother has a walker and tried to get into the women's bathroom, it had no sign on it, and it was mostly blocked by an empty food display. My Mother then went to the men's bathroom, but the entrance was partially blocked with stuff and my Mother could not get in with her walker. So we promptly left. read more

For 20 bucks all you can eat Mediterranean food is just outstanding. . Literally they have 30 options that you can choose from they do have salads to Savory and sweets and they do have Halal options for meat and they do have seafood as well. I really like the lamb shank because it was really tender and flavorful and it was really juicy and it was balanced with nice and fatty tendon and if you're lucky some pieces have a bone marrow which is Heavenly. . I really do like their fresh hummus but it was a little bit on the salty side. The white sauce tzatziki was really refreshing with the mint and went really well with all the salads and meat dip as well. I really like their fresh cucumber and tomato and onion for the salad and it has a really nice light balsamic vinegar taste. . I also got to try their chicken kebab and beef kebab and I prefer the beef kabob because the taste was much better. I also love the rice they have a white rice a yellow rice and a rice with raisins. The yellow rice was my favorite because it has some nice vegetables like peas and carrots inside. . I love how they have a machine to make your own coffee and they do have a really nice Moroccan ice tea that was not sweet and I do have a refreshing lemonade as well. Also for the dessert station they did have baklava and they do have some really nice cake that reminds me of cornbread and they do even have a really nice rose water rice pudding. . If you are looking for a really friendly budget Buffet place for Mediterranean food in Las Vegas this is a must stop and you will not be disappointed. It was really fresh during lunch time on a Monday around 11:00 and I would be back for my next Mediterranean Buffet when I'm in Vegas. The service was quick on the foot with collecting all the dirty plates and asking if we are okay. The ambience is nothing to fancy but I do like how it's just casual so you can eat comfortably. It is located in a shopping mall with plenty of parking which is always a very positive experience. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day. read more

I'm a fan of all you can eat, but this buffet is overhyped! The Youtube vids that covered this restaurant were misleading because about half of the food were below average. 10/31/2024. Plate #1: Lamb shank: was tender and in a flavored garlic and onion broth that is an easy 4/5 stars overall. Rice, fish, and chicken Sharma: were the other standouts, as they were fairly seasoned and tender, 3.5/5 stars. Shrimp: was fishy, and unappealing, 0/5 stars. Plate #2. Kabobs: tasted off as if they were made out of veggies or soy and were bland, 0/5 stars. Chickens: were dry and bland, 1/5 stars. White fish: was fishy this time in round 2. Took a bite for an unwanted surprise, 0/5 stars. Soup: was decent, but not good enough to save this sad buffet, 3.5/5 stars. Hummus: typical creamy texture with a hint of seasoning, 3.5/5 stats. Desserts: Baklava: this was sweet and flaky with pistachios that make this amusing, 5/5 stars! Mini cream puffs: your basic puff pastry with cream filling, 3.5/5 stars. Rice pudding: this was mildly sweet, 3/5 stars. Either the quality went down since the Youtube vids were filmed, or were the content creator's just dishonest? Regardless, I cannot recommend that you spend your money and time here. read more

Ehh I was in between going to this place and a place I've been to down the street several times. This place I wanted to try something new I decided. When I tried it it was very dry food.

I was there Saturday for lunch, they have good assortment of food. I do not think everything was fresh like the salads, I came home with a stomach ache and I believe it had to be the salads they had, I was so looking forward to enjoying the food, but now I do not think I will go back around due to that.

Food was mediocre. Some items were dry, no flavor, deserts tasted like they been sitting there for days. Service - none really but they asked for tip upfront. Location- wasn't the best location but plenty of parking. The place was too small for a buffet setting, very cramped. I wanted to try because I saw the TV commercial with endorsement from Guy Fieri but what a disappointment! I also hate the fact that if you used your credit card, they tack on an extra 3% and asked for tip at the time of payment when you haven even sat down. I know I have the option to say no but at that point, you feel bad. Would I go back to this place, definitely not!!! read more

This place was very delicious! Chose this place to meet up with some old family friends and catch up. There were many options to choose from at the buffet area and unlimited Moroccan iced tea, lemonade, and lemon water. Personally I didn't really like the iced tea. I enjoyed the food I got from the buffet such as lamb pita, shawarma chicken, hummus, cucumber salad, turkey roll, etc. For the dessert, I tried the baklava cookie and the rice pudding. The lady was so kind and patient in answering all my questions about what's sweet and what's not as sweet and what she recommends. The rice pudding was more on the not so sweet side while the cookie was sweet. The rice pudding was my absolute favorite! I think my only downsides were the iced tea and the fact that we might have to return our own plates like we had to put our plates above the trash ourselves instead of someone collecting them. However towards the end of our meal and all our plates were stacked, someone eventually did come and collect our plates. read more
