    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 cooks serve you cold lamb shank because they think its funny. The garlic sauce tastes like mayonnaise.

    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.

And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too!

Will definitely be back regularly, and will also plan on getting to go order. My husband got a pound of Gyro meat to go, and it came with pita bread and Taziki sauce.

Established back in 1977, this Greek café has grown from a humble walk‑up window into a full‑fledged neighborhood institution, beloved for its hearty Mediterranean comfort food and lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere. The Montrose location stays bustling from lunch through late night, drawing in everyone from families to night‑owls to longtime regulars who've been coming here for decades. What keeps people returning is simple: the food hits. Diners consistently praise the authentic Greek flavors, especially the gyro plates -- a blend of beef and lamb shaved from the spit, tucked into warm, fresh pita, and finished with cool, garlicky tzatziki. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and the pricing stays reasonable, making it one of the best value spots in the neighborhood. Your gyro arrives stacked, your fries come hot, and your plate feels like it was built by someone who actually wants you to leave full. The menu is huge, but the classics shine brightest. The Greek salad is crisp and refreshing, loaded with feta, olives, tomatoes, and their famous dressing. Service here is fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of counter‑style operation where the staff keeps things moving without losing the warmth that makes the place feel welcoming. Guests frequently mention how upbeat and helpful the team is, even during rush hours. The vibe is lively but never chaotic: families grabbing dinner, couples sharing mezze plates, and regulars chatting with staff like old friends. It's casual, energetic, and unmistakably Montrose. One thing that sets Niko Niko's apart is its deep Houston history. The Fetokakis family has run the restaurant for nearly half a century, maintaining a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality that helped the café earn multiple Houston Press awards over the years -- from Best Pork Chops to Best Family‑Owned Restaurant. Even as the city has changed around it, Niko Niko's has stayed true to its roots: hearty food, Greek hospitality, and a community‑driven spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick gyro, sitting down for a full spread, or stopping by for dessert after a night out, Niko Niko's delivers exactly what a neighborhood staple should: great food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the experience feels like Houston -- diverse, warm, and full of character. If you're in Montrose and craving Greek comfort done right, this spot remains one of the city's most reliable pleasures.

We have our go to order: hot green tea with honey. Idk why I love it so much but I swear it just hits different here. Maybe it's the cute little pot they serve it in. 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!
