Food was nice and for the price at lunch time I would definitely recommend this place for dining. Tables and chairs are extremely clean and overall it's nice. read more

My family and I used to love coming here, but I stopped liking it a while ago. I didn't realize we were coming here for Mother's Day, and this ended up being the worst experience we've had here so far. When we walked in, nobody acknowledged us. Things immediately got uncomfortable when I went to get salad and grabbed a few olives from a small cluster of maybe 3 or 4 olives. A woman started harassing me, saying she had chosen to dine there instead of getting the food to go because she loves olives. So do I, but I was there first and simply grabbed some from the spot I reached for. She immediately started yelling for a staff member and complaining that I had taken "all the olives." Instead of de-escalating the situation, the staff allowed the harassment and even joined in on it. Maybe she's a regular there, but I found the whole thing incredibly unprofessional and honestly ridiculous. When I tried to record what was happening, an older man who I assume works there started screaming at me about recording not being allowed. I did start recording once I sat down because of how ridiculous it was that she stayed there complaining more than 10 minutes later waiting on olives. He screamed at me while I was seated. One of the staff members cut directly in front of me in the buffet line and grabbed the serving spoon I was about to use. She then gave me an angry look as if I had cut in front of her instead of the other way around. She appeared out of nowhere and was unnecessarily rude. On top of that, tables were not being cleared, the food trays were barely being refilled, and there were no gloves available for hygiene. The restroom smelled like rotten eggs to the point that it made me feel sick and I ended up throwing up. I only got one plate of food and one dessert/fruit plate because I completely lost my appetite after everything. The desserts were overly sweet and dry, and the rose water tasted watered down. They also didn't have bread or beef available until we were already leaving. It wasn't that busy when we first arrived. Then came the checkout experience. The woman at the register was not listening at all. We clearly said there were 4 people, 2 of them seniors. While I was entering my phone number, she immediately announced the total was over $107. She refused to apply the senior discount or let me use the points I had accumulated. She shrugged her shoulders, acted dismissive, and honestly behaved like a spoiled teenager. My sister picked up a book from a stand that clearly said "free to take," and suddenly the cashier wanted to call the manager over because apparently we had to pay for it. I started walking away in disbelief, assuming my sister would just leave it there, but when my sister pointed out the sign, the cashier called her a thief in front of the growing line of customers. I walked back and told my sister to just leave, so she left the book on the counter and we walked out. I genuinely do not understand the point system if they refuse to honor it. I would not go out of my way to come here again, and I hope my family doesn't either. The customer service here has gone downhill significantly. They would rather let a random woman create drama over nothing and then take it out on paying customers. read more

I was pretty disappointed with Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet. The food looked good at first, but most of it was lukewarm and didn't taste very fresh. The chicken was dry, and a lot of the dishes seemed like they had been sitting out too long. The place was also kind of messy, with tables not being cleaned quickly. For the price, I expected better quality and service. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Dimassi's is a great introduction spot for Mediterranean food. Not only does it have a wide selection of dips and dishes, but it's palatable for those new to the cuisine. It is a buffet style, so you aren't getting much interaction with the staff. On the inside, you're getting a variety of vibes, from diner, to cabin in the woods, to Mediterranean. It's a small, yet packed space. I think it's worth its value! read more

First time... But pleasantly surprised. The food is on par with Fadi's... but it is a buffet. So you can try things you wouldn't normally try. The location is very clean... Well serviced. You basically come in sit down and eat... And then pay on your way out. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - The buffet was very nice... Everything was fresh. - Mediterranean Near Me - Allen, Texas

The food has Mediterranean, but it was kind of a middle eastern place. Definitely not a negative though all the meats, salads, rice everything was fresh and delicious. Only draw back was people taking all the meat for to-go orders while in line, but they put out fresh new meats in minutes. Really good price for lunch and we left stuffed. Decorated well & welcoming. This place is really really good if you were debating about it, definitely doesn't disappoint if you're in the mood for Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine! read more

Very casual place, you don't really interact with staff at all. There's a good selection, they decorate things well. The bathrooms looked clean too which is always a welcomed sign read more

Excellent food! I got all the vegan stuff, and I have no notes. 10/10, including the baba ghanoush. The pita bread was also super fresh. Ambience was nice as well. read more

Gosh I wish we had this mediterranean buffet back where I lived! Not only do they have a variety of dishes (probably 20+) but the food quality is actually really good! We got a couple trays of meats, rices, veggies, and sauces to go as we were having a get together at home. I love that they have a to go option with utensils and Tupperware provided, not many buffet have that. The price per pound is pretty decent as well. the flavor and quality of the meat was excellent - I loved the kofta kabobs and the chicken kabobs. They had run out of some so I asked if they could bring out fresh kabobs and only had to wait about 5-7 minutes for it. excellent service, PLENTY of seating for the whole family, and parking as well! We didn't try the desserts but they had a variety of fruits, middle eastern options, and American options as well. I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone! read more

All you can eat Mediterranean place. Reasonably priced for lunch time. Dinner is $6 more just because? We like going here because he likes lamb and the naan bread. I like the options they have for hummus, soups and vegetables. read more

My SO always had good things to say about this restaurant. I have tried other locations in Irving and Richardson, frisco but never this one! I was surprised to see the different options appealing to local indian diaspora in the buffet. Friday lunch buffet had Chicken Biryani and Navratan Korma(veg) both of them were delicious. Dips were great, meat was good! Pita on the other hand was tough and hard. I will go back again when I crave read more

The best buffet around bar none. The food is always fresh and the people working there are super nice. Just really good Mediterranean food.

We enjoy eating here whenever we need a Mediterranean food fix. They have a good selection and the food is always fresh. We've also had take out and it's well packaged and good portions. It can get a little loud during busy times so we prefer to eat late lunch or early dinner. read more

Amazing food. All you can eat. Quality Mediterranean cuisine at a descent price. It's my go-to place for Greek food.

Staff needs better communication amongst themselves. On the first visit, we were told the circular to-go container was free then on the second visit we were charged for it. Other than that miscommunication, be cautious/mindful if you're a person of color or black when visiting. Many dirty looks were received. read more

The selection on the buffet is amazing and the food is very good. A favorite is the falafel and the chicken kabobs. Bring your appetite when you come and prepare to be stuffed! The chia tea is also very good. You are greeted when you first come in and the people who work there are nice. read more

If you are up for a buffet, this place is a must try. Just the variety of appetizers and salads would just about justify the price, but add a large steam table of everything from chicken Shawarma to kofta to lamb shank and fresh pita, it's a really nice place to get a Mediterranean fix. Try the spicy hummus! read more

Great place to try Mediterranean food. I liked almost everything I've eaten. Everything was clean and the service was pretty quick. Also reasonably priced. read more

We visited Dimassi's Buffet around 7 PM, and unfortunately, it was a big letdown. Many trays were empty, some salads were missing, and the food that remained was stale and left sitting out. Nothing was being refilled, so it felt like we were paying for leftovers. For families, this is especially frustrating -- picky eaters have very little to choose from, and even the dessert was a disappointment. The soft-serve ice cream tasted strange and was way too sugary. Overall, not worth the price and definitely not somewhere we'd return. read more

Zabby-Do, here you review! I love me some Mediterranean food... well, let's be real, I love food #Ha! Let's talk positives! B+ Super clean! You have a choice to wear food safe gloves when gathering your grub... those options are handy for different folks with different strokes. Love it. The man (am assuming the manager) super sweet, walks around to ensure all is in working order. Very much appreciated. Food positives: hummus is always on point with fresh pita, like UBER yum! The roasted cauliflower is some of the best I've ever had. Tilapia strips are so good. Decor is beautiful! Negatives: the bathrooms smell horrible. But like poo bad, but like death bad. Consider some odor control in there. The hubby said the same about the mens restrooms. Food: What is going on with the honey? You can't serve baklava with watered down honey. That's just sooo wrong. Either take the honey off the bar or put up some non-corn syrup, not watered down LEGIT honey. Same with the pasta. What is the watery white sauce on your chicken parm? Just don't. Cheap shortcuts like this make the establishment look bad. Cover the lamb (gyros) so they don't dry out. Remove the white stuff of the steamed broccoli. It's yuck. Maybe grill them like the cauliflower... because again... it was delish. So many chicken dishes and they were ALL watered down. At this point just make soup. Friend chicken was good, but only legs were available. The good out weighed the bad, it was a tossup between 3/4 stars. We paid for a buffet but was only able to eat a few items... But I believe... if you can fix some of the food items, it will be much much better! I'd encourage management to do a few tastes of what's coming out on to the service bar to see what's up. It'll help. I'll come back next month with an updated review. You can bet on your firstborn, that if the food is not better, I'll have to call 'em out. read more

Very disappointed with this place! WAS my daughter and I's go to restaurant but not anymore. The guy at the register charged my 9 year old daughter an adults price. I brought it up to his attention and he tried coming up with dumb excuses to justify the overcharge. He said that ofter 6:00 kids 9 1/2 until 10 years old get charged as an adult. RIDICULOUS . I mention that that had never happened before. Also, as I was walking out he made inappropriate comments. read more

I've read the reviews and wish people noted the location because it makes a difference. I have nothing but rave reviews for the location in Fairview (or is it Allen)... Stacy and 75. It's clean, the food is fresh, and the staff is nice. They provide plastic gloves too so you aren't passing around germs from the serving utensils. The location at 121/Preston is in serious disrepair. The roof leaks, the place is filthy and they refuse to put out fresh food until dishes are completely empty. One time I was there, I noticed one cold piece of pizza. It was there the entire time until someone took it for their kid. About 10 minutes later, they brought out a fresh pizza. Most of the time, the favorite dishes are empty because they don't even start the next batch until everything is gone. The location on Campbell has extremely rude management and I have to wonder what goes on in the kitchen. I got some of the grilled eggplant and it tasted like a cleaning chemical. Everything else was fine but the eggplant. I told the manager when I was leaving to check the dish. Something was wrong with it. I wasn't asking for a discount or anything. He argued that it was pomegranate molasses, like I just wasn't accustomed to such an exotic ingredient. I stressed it was a chemical like ammonia and was going to make people sick. Well I was attending a conference across the street and started getting sick about 15 minutes after leaving Dimassi's. I was violently ill for 3 days. I've never been back. Ali Baba's is right around the corner and MUCH better. My 5 star rating is for the first location. I would rate Plano a 1 and Richardson a 0. read more

Never ate Mediterranean style food in Allen before and I've lived here for 40 years! Oh what an experience awaits you in terms of quantity and quality of food! The ambiance and size of the restaurant is big and that's perfectly good if not great for larger parties. The food is delicious and plentiful! There was nothing I didn't like! The owners were so very nice and friendly! The group of 8 that I was a part of, enjoyed our food and stay with such good conversation that we not only ate lunch but dinner too!! So good, so go! You won't be disappointed! read more

Title: Rude service, missing items, wasted trip and the most humiliating experience for buying food from Dimassi's: I ordered a large hummus from Dimassi's through Postmates and their Postmates menu clearly says it comes with four pita breads. The driver showed up with only the hummus and explained the restaurant hadn't provided any pita. When I phoned the restaurant, the person who answered said the only way to get the missing bread was to drive over myself--no apology, no offer to redeliver. He did promise "a free meal next time," but that didn't help me in the moment. So I paused my work, drove ~20 minutes, and walked in with my receipt in hand. The employee at the counter looked me up and down, scolded me for arriving "too early," and claimed pita wasn't included because it wasn't printed on the receipt. I showed him the Postmates menu on my phone and even took a screenshot. Only then did he grudgingly hand over the pita--and he snatched the receipt back from me while doing it. In the end, I spent nearly $20 (item, fees, taxes, tip) for a $9 dish, plus my own gas and time, and was treated disrespectfully the entire way. I won't be ordering from this Dimassi's again, and I'd urge anyone who values basic courtesy--and receiving the food you actually paid for--to think twice. read more

I have been to this location 10 times. Everything is fresh. All the food items are good and delicious. The price is very reasonable. I rarely give 4-5 stars to restaurants. One tip: they need to get better plates. These cheap plates must have reacted with a soap bc they feel tacky. Perhaps get porcelain plates or plates that won't react badly to soaps. read more

Most food is blend and dry. However Can you expect more from a buffet? A little more. read more

I really like this place, friendly staff and food is really good. Every time I invite friends and family over, if I don't feel to cook, I take them there :) they all like the food and less work for me :)) read more

The food was good, in fact excellent. This the Dimassi's on Hwy-121. The buffet has a moderately good selection of salads, meat and fresh oven-bread. The drinks are self served and meets the basic selection. Bakhlava, jellos, fruits and a tasty rice pudding ends the meal The ambiance was under-lit and dreary. It was an eatery nothing to write home about. Could do some thorough weekly washing of the floors to take the strong aroma of meat out. It is self service. But what more could one expect for the price. Yes the price for the present time is good. I enjoy my halal food every time I go there. read more

Went to the dimassis on Stacy road. Don't eat at this location - it's the Worst tasting Damassis of the 6 I have visited. Salads pasta rice look good but zero flavor. Bland. Tasteless. Not even worth eating. Dolmas dried out and pasty. Fries cold. Grilled cauliflower super dry and cold. The food seemed old but I got there at 11:30 am. Left over from the day before? I don't eat the expensive meat dishes they have so the falafel is my protein. All the locations constantly run out. Today I waited 20 minutes for falafel and got some at the end of my meal, so overcooked they were dried out and burned tasting. I spoke to the cashier who said they were normal. When asked, I told him it wasn't good like the other locations but he didn't care at all. Wasted $20. read more

the Allen location needs help! went in during lunchtime had no Kafka or Gyro meat on the line, said it was cooking that it would be 5 minutes. 15 mins later still waiting.....pita is always cold as well as cheese pizza. don't ask for them to make a new one bc that will take 30 minutes! it's sad bc we live Dimassi's & spend $70 each time we eat lunch there. Use to go twice a week, now not anymore read more

Super greedy ! They jacked up their prices for Ramadan They charge young kids 10 years old $24 !! Are you serious? What a rip off ! Their staff doesn't even speak English! Never again ! But nice buffet though read more

Do not let the word buffet scare you. This now my favorite Mediterranean food place. Most places are like 75 feet this is like 450 feet. So many options. My wife and i like this as we will get take out and only get what we want but always the right portions size. Clean. Great team. Also very nice take out menu. read more

I was very excited that new one open. They offer Togo and dine in buffets. Pay on the way out. Clean and nice decorated, paper plates, gloves, plastics one time use utensils. Fried chicken was too salty and the piece that I had was not fresh. Sauce and soup was good. Ice cream was watery. My favorite cauliflower was really good. Restroom was clean and nice deco but the faucet needs to change? read more

Wow! This place has the best and largest Mediterranean buffet that I have ever seen! There is a wide variety of salads that are so fresh ! The main dish selection was good as well. You can choose from chicken, lamb or beef dishes. They also have fruit and dessert. I wish I could tell you the names of the food, but sorry, I can't remember. The pictures show exactly what you're getting, and it looks that good in person too! I wish they would open a place in Colorado Springs, we need something besides Asian buffets. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Here was my lunch buffet selection. I went back for dessert later. - Mediterranean Near Me - Allen, Texas

Went for dinner with my mom and it was good. The woman at the front was super friendly and did an amazing job of attending to the guests and various requests. Super friendly and did an excellent job of managing the restaurant. Certainly nice to see this level of service and she was very welcoming. I know it's only been a month so hopefully some of the "kinks" smooth out. Little detail always matter so I want to leave an honest rating and feedback. Honestly I was somewhat satisfied with my visit. I was hoping for the same experience and standards as the Frisco location which I rate a perfect 5. For some reason the quality and taste of the food wasn't as good as that location. Not as much variety and took a while to wait on replacing certain dishes. The humus wasn't as smooth, the taste of all the items was okay and some dishes were way too salty or not hot enough. The pita bread wasn't hot and was a bit too doughy and dense. Not as good as the Frisco location which is hands-down the best Mediterranean buffet I've ever had so my standards are high. Some standout items to me- I enjoyed their tabouli, rice dishes, kale Caesar salad and the falafel was pretty good. Also, I enjoyed their baklava and desserts. The restaurant was clean and I noticed they wiped down the tables with bleach or commercial grade sanitizer after guests left. All guests wore masks and kept social distancing. I didn't like how plates were stacked and not cleared right away, noticed some tables not clean upon arriving and the floor was less kept with paper napkins. Also, there were paper plates out at one point which was rather strange for any restaurant. Not sure if they were dishwashing but there weren't a lot of guests during my visit. I have high hopes things will turn around if they follow a similar model and recipes as their Frisco location. If so, I'll be back in a heartbeat! UPDATE- impressed with my second visit! Delicious food, amazing service and even better variety. Will be back!! read more

Went to eat today and waited for cooked kabobs and told the people working that what they had out was not cooked and that's why no one would eat it they argued with me and would not bring out fresh kabobs for the entire time I was waiting for cooked food. Waste of 20 dollars uncooked food continued to sit as people refused to eat it. Won't be back. Wanted to add that the baklava was undercooked also and I think they are prejudice because as soon as we were getting up to leave they brought out a tray of cooked kabobs for the line! The person that argued about the food and was cashier was named Osama just to let people and the owner who is representing the restaurant. read more

Pickup order review. Food is generally good, with a few outstanding items. Poor rating is due to the amount of food received compared to price. For example, we paid $4.99 for a 8 oz eggplant dish and received a half filled container. All individual containers were similar. The 16oz containers are $8.99 and probably only included 10-12 oz of food, if that. Pics attached. We will not be ordering again. read more
