    this is a must visit in richardson. first time here and the variety of dishes is plentiful, and everything i tried was top notch. it's all you can eat, so come hungry! had amazing rice, chickpeas, potatoes, chicken, lamb, greens, broccoli, pita. anything mediterranean or persian adjacent is here! will be back.

    I love Dimassi's and have been to a a few locations around the metroplex. This one is no different from the others. They offer a wide variety of both hot and cold dishes as well as desserts. The dining area is big and clean. They have someone constantly walking around clearing plates and cleaning tables. Just know everything else is self serve including your drinks and silverware. We came in on a weekend and everything was fresh and delicious. Love Dimassi's!

    Great quality food. The service was kind and the food was delicious with lots to choose from. Desserts were amazing as well with many halal choices. Drinks were great too. Rice is a bit dry but that could be due to that fact it was out too long. But with the prices of $17.99/person, it's hard to beat.

    Empty plates cause I ate it all up!

    This place rules! The veggies are all fresh and all the meat is delicious. Well, i don't know about the fish because i didn't try it. I don't want to be a liar but I would bet it's good. But yeah, very good food. I just can't say it enough. Everybody should go here and bring everyone they know but just not all at the same time because that would a logistics nightmare. Maybe we could arrange alphabetically or something? I don't know but we will figure it out. Just go and make sure and get a Lamb Shank. It's great when it's pipping hot!

    I've been to Dimassi's twice & it's been consistent in experience and satisfaction. When you walk in you're greeted by who appears to be the Owner. Not much decor but there's plenty of seating. You have the option to enjoy their lunch or dinner buffet w/first come first serve seating or pay by weight if you don't want to dine in. If you dine in what's cool is you pay when you leave. Walking up to the buffet, you'll notice they have boxes of gloves sitting out for guests (which I love for sanitary purposes). The buffet is always fresh with a variety of different food, drinks and desserts to choose from. They also do a great job of updating the name tags so you know what you're eating if unfamiliar with the dishes they serve. All in all I think Dimassi's is great and worth a try if you're looking for something different to eat, be it a meal for yourself or your family to enjoy.

    Interior

    Very consistent. Large selection of choices. Friendly, clean, simple. Lots of salads, hummus, baba ganush, chicken drumsticks, fish, gyro, beef kabobs, falafel, (for dinner only, braised lamb shank), lots of veggies, try the eggplant, pita, baklava, soft serve ice cream, and soda. At around $20, it's a bargain as well as very good food.

    Open 365 days a year even on holidays. Wonderful food and drinks selection. Very clean and polite staff.

    Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet is a huge dining hall buffet that serves over 40 different Mediterranean items. Hummus, falafel, baba ghanoush, tabouli, rice etc ..most of the items are vegetarian. The meat items include chicken, gyro slices and fish. $16 AYCE. The price is right but the food quality is mediocre. The interior tables are arranged in three long rows and looks like a school cafeteria. I found the roast chicken, the baba ghanoush and the desserts the better items. They do a brisk lunch business. Plenty of parking. Self service. Just pile the used plates on an open table. Don't forget to get your utensils and extra napkins at the counter.

    We ate here on Sunday for dinner. It was moderately packed. This is a self serve spot where you seat yourselves, and get both food and drink. The food was decent. The salads were good, but when it came to the dishes that were hot, it was just a little warm even after getting it right off the line. I was disappointed in the gyro meat especially because it wasn't that flavorful and dry. The lamb was decent, but not very flavorful. The best thing on there is probably the hummus, pita bread and cauliflower dish. Rosewater was really good. Tried it with a dash of Sprite and it was even better. I personally wouldn't go to this location again. There was kids running around like crazy, and families were letting their baby who just learned how to walk, roam freely. Poor kid hit her head on a chair and started crying. It was crazy and it probably ruined my dinner experience for me. We sat at the end of the buffet line, but I felt the place was real good. If I were to guess, probably around 64ish degrees. Overall, food was below average for me, a busser picked up our dishes, and the atmosphere was kids going crazy. Parking was easy.

    Very decent Mediterranean food. There are quite a few options to choose from. Please note that they will charge you per pound of food that you do not eat so don't load up your plate with food that you cannot eat. You must wear gloves when handling the food (thank God). I have had better Mediterranean food, but not for the price. I'm used to $20 a plate for lunch and this was $17. The restaurant is huge with plenty of seating. Everyone we encountered was very nice and asked us how we were doing today. They have a great drink selection that includes rose water. Yummy!!

    Good food. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because they were out of falafel and gyro. But I'll try them again.

    Old, tired, worn out food, staff, and facility. Few vegetarian options and none of them very good. I only go to Afrah now.

    I've been coming here since around 2010 probably. I really like the food (not so much the racial…read morevibe. They are not too fond of white people it feels like). But today was just too much! I've seen the price go from: $15, $18, $20, to $25... TAX AND CARD FEES HAVE AWLAYS BEEN INCLUDED. Well, today.... The young man told me it was $25 plus tax. So he said it was over $84 for three people. I complained a little to him about it and went on, THEN my wife heard the lady next to my male cashier charge someone the $25 flat with no tax!!!! I of course went and asked her WHY???? She said because the other guy paid with cash.... There is not tax!!!! I said you mean a credit card fee right?? She said NO.... If you pay cash there is no tax!!!!! I'd like the Great State of Texas to look into this one. I bet the comptroller would like to know about this!!! TBH, I really don't think the other guy probably even paid cash. It felt like a hate on whitey move to me. THIS PLACE IS SHADY.

    The food is absolutely delicious! The buffet is constantly refreshed with fresh food. The service…read moreis good. This is a buffet style restaurant so there is very little interaction between waiters and customers. The ambiance is quaint due to Mediterranean style music playing in the background. In my opinion the music should match the cuisine. Definitely check out Ali Baba!
