    Chicken Kabob, Feta pita, Basmati Rice, Gyros, Dolmades
    Dan A.

    Been to a couple of their locations and have visited a few times. Not an "all you care to eat" person but I make the exception for Dimassi's. The choices are overwhelming in a good way. Salad options were plentiful and ranged from Tabouli to Fatoush to Kale Caesar. Tried all three and enjoyed them all. Chicken Kabobs and Gyros were tasty and the Feta Pita and Basmati Rice hit the spot. Impressive Dessert spread also. Service was friendly and plates/tables were cleared in a timely manner. Overall, reasonable pricing for the offer and they manage to provide quality dishes despite being AYCTE.

    What we picked up on the buffet line

    So we were heading to the apartment from Hobby Airport but since we knew our driver, he wanted to stop by this place to pick up lunch. We said we'd join him but we need the take away lunch. We had to get to our destination. We picked the foods our driver recommended. His choices were spot on. We don't eat Middle Eastern food much but this eatery was full of diners on a Sunday afternoon! Our friend took us to the buffet area and boy, they had an assortment of colorful and very delicious food. He told us what to get and filled up a to go container with his suggestions. Their dessert selection was surprisingly large but I took a few baklavas. I like them! Overall, we will come back here and spend more time walking along the buffet line. We were in a hurry so we did not linger too long. PS After getting into the apartment, we checked out the food and boy, we had a feast. We just took a bite of each of the dishes and enjoyed ourselves. I must say that since I'm not familiar with Middle eastern food, eating it this way was educational. As for the restaurant itself, it was very clean and the ambiance is perfect for a Sunday afternoon early dinner.

    Walking by to a different restaurant but walked in to check it out. Needless to say we sat down and ate. Great selection of foods and servers were super helpful. Really enjoyed the girl meat and cold salads. Will come again if I'm ever back in Houston.

    After visiting the Middle East recently, I was missing the authentic manakeesh and falafels a lot and Dimassi's came through for me. The all you can eat buffet was delicious. Vegetarian dishes include a variety of salads, grilled veggies, cauliy, hummus, baba ghanoush, falafels, zatar manakeesha, pickles and more. The rose water drink was yum. Desserts were okish. The meal definitely fills you up for the day.

    While it may appear not much has changed at this popular Dimassi's location, there's been a number of changes in the last year that requires this necessary update. The not-so-good: * New Owners and Management: Compared to the previous management, the service has gone down a notch. These are nice people still, but there are less smiles, more splatters along the buffet line, and the to-go ordering is significantly slower. * In a word: bathrooms. They were far better maintained before but there's still hope and a definite need for soap (#1). * Lamb shank: One of the staples of the Dimassi dinner experience was being able to order lamb shank over the buffet counter. It's still a thing, but a much smaller thing and a less tasty one at that. The very-good: * Updated sign: Before the antiquated sign was practically falling off. The new owners have a new illuminated sign that showcases the modern logo and is way more visible, especially at night. * All hail, kale: Salad was never the most exciting thing here and it still isn't. However, they do have a nice kale salad available at all times and it is refreshing and tasty. * Worthy of an update as well, but the baked chicken is still one of their best items. There was some initial drop off during the transition. but they've since resumed the crispy skin, juicy chunks of meat, and the fall-off-the-bone tenderness that I've come to love. I have always shown love to this location for its central convenience but also because they've always been consistent. I realize that it's not all roses when there is a changeover, but I'm still excited to continue patronizing them as they look to improve in the future. ___________ (#1) An unintentional bar. And not the soap kind either.

    Amazing Mediterranean cuisine. The falafel was perfect. The meet is incredible.
    Nick B.

    This is the best Mediterranean buffet in town. It's clean and the food is consistent. It's always busy and it's definitely a place to go when you're near the south side of Houston. You will not be disappointed. We've probably eaten here 25 times. It's an amazing buffet of healthy and tasty food.

    The food is excellent. Some items were not as hot as others but everything is excellent!

    Fancy pita with oregano and herbs.
    Lizzie M.

    Eat here weekly while at MD Anderson. Lots of fresh vegetables and salad options as well as gyros, a variety of chicken and meats of many kinds. Good pita bread and the iced tea is tasty too. My hubbie likes the desserts...I'm off sugar.

    Do it serve HALAL food?

    During Ramadan they serve traditional food that usually isn't served on any other day. I would think that their meat would meet Halal standards but I am not Muslim. Best thing would be to call and ask. They're very friendly.

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 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.

We actually went to a different Fadi's looking for cabbage wraps and koussa (stuffed zucchini), but they had a much smaller spread so we drove 15 minutes to Meyerland and enjoyed a wonderful lunch.

I had the babaganoush, muhammara, mushroom salad, and rice as my 2 sides (each 1/2 portions) and the lamb kabob for my protein. My wife had the spanakopita, cabbage wraps and stuffed zucchini.

For food, we usually start with an appetizer and split the mixed shawarma plate. This last time we shared a Greek salad as an appetizer. Fresh and delicious as always. One of our sides was the baba ghanoush, which was incredible. Dont get me started on the pita it comes with....Warm, soft, and fresh. It takes everything in me not to demolish the whole basket. For our other side, we always get the potatoes. They're perfectly seasoned with a slight sweetness and a little kick. Hands down my favorite side dish here! The portions are generous too. For me and my boyfriend (who can definitely eat), splitting this is always enough to fill us up. I also have to shout out the service because it's consistently great. Even when it's packed and there's just one waiter, everything flows smoothly. Safe to say we'll keep coming back!
