This is one of my to go buffet places when I'm in a Mediterranean mood. They have a good selection, they keep the line full and fresh and although they have increased their lunch menu prices, it's still a decent deal, considering they include soft drinks and limited desserts. Nothing fancy inside, so don't expect it, but they keep the place clean and neat, and enough space for a big group if you have one. My favorite is their warm naan bread, with their selection of hummuses....yummy....solid 4 for the price. read more

I love Mediterranean food! That said, you are able to feast on a wonderful assortment of salads, vegetables, rice, meats & fish in a clean, comfortable, setting that won't break the bank. I highly recommend the Greek Salad, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Tzatziki, Falafel, Lentil Soup, Roasted Cauliflower, Gyro Meat, etc. no matter what you choose, you can't go wrong. It's all delicious! read more

This place was great! atmosphere was on point very clean and music was relaxing. Salad bar was refreshing and food was good and tasteful. Peach unsweetened tea was so refreshing as well. We will definitely tell family to come try out. read more

One of our first meals in our new town and it did not disappoint. This Dimassi's location is fairly new and pretty spacious. Their buffet had a really good spread and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I tried the plain hummus, which they offer in three variations (plain, avocado and spicy), and it was pretty good. The falafel, gyro meat, stuffed grape leaves, roasted cauliflower and stewed beef were great as well. I saw they had rose water, so I had to try it of course. The flavor was good, but it was way too sweet for my taste. I'd skip it, unless you're into that. For dessert we tried their rice pudding (one of my favorites) but sadly, the rice was way over-cooked. Overall, it was a really good meal. It was very filling, so no one in the group went for a second round. I'm sure we'll be back! read more

What a wonderful Sunday dinner! Pro tip - ring the bell at the end for the freshest, juiciest lamb shank. My husband I had the Lebanese salad, hummus, chicken kabob, baklava, and so much more. It was all so fresh. Trust me I don't like buffets but this is the best one I've been too. Will be back! read more

The buffet spread is pretty good and the foods fresh Although I did not like the pita bread the others made up for it read more

1st and last visit. Will never eat at dimassis again. I attempted to eat here last week and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Not only was the food old and against health code (cold chicken kabob meat, chicken thighs that have turned petrified from being there for so long and raw chicken legs in the stew) they also mix new product into old product into all of their dishes which is a big no no in health safety. I watched an employee pour the wrong new product into a old product and laughed saying oh well then stirring the two separate items together. That is also a big no. Cross contamination. I informed the front lady, she said oops and disregarded it. Super expensive for gross food. My wife and child both got food poisoning from the raw chicken legs. 0/10 read more

I placed an order to go, and it was ready when I arrived to pick it up 10 minutes later, as they stated it would be. This is my first time to try this place. My food was good! Maybe I have found my new place to go! However, there was one thing that bothered me. When I opened the box with my steamed rice, it was not full. Every place that I have ever picked up Chinese food, the box of rice has always been full. This one was only about 3/4 full. If I were ordering an extra order of rice, I would not be happy paying for it and not getting a full container. read more

My first time to the Mediterranean buffet. I loved it. I see some negative reviews, but from my viewpoint, it was great. Safety : it is critically important to keep customer and people who work in the restaurant safe. They take necessary measures such as using mask and gloves (disposable). Also we need to use new plate, cup all the time when we go another round. Also, not too crowded and customers were also wearing masks, which is good. Food : Splendid. I like veggies and Mediterranean food is famous for variety of veggies. Hummus, soir veggies flavored with vinegar, stewed cauliflower etc. For protein, Gyro, chicken, beef, fish etc. I don't feel their fish was eye-catching, since it looks like fried etc and didn't feel it was fresh. Sweets, it was good and good portions. Overall, it was great. There are several Dimmasi restaurant across North Texas and whole Texas including Houston. I would definitely come back. read more

Update: I used to love this Dimassi's, but recent experiences have turned me away. After being served ubiquitously lukewarm/cold entrees, raw chicken and generally disappointing flavors compared to other locations, I've felt the need to change my rating to reflect to others the standard of service I've been experiencing. If you want to know what it used to be like, or what you can expect from certain other locations, such as the one on SH 121, read below. A local favorite for its halal buffet, and a long time institution both in this area of DFW and other parts of Texas, Dimassi's as a whole has been a family favorite due to its reliability and consistent quality. The staff are minimally involved, as it's a self-service buffet with payment taken care of at the end, however when it comes to cleanliness and replenishment, they make themselves known by ironically not being noticeable. Typically you won't find yourself waiting for a dish to be filled (save for the last 30-45 minutes before close) and used plates and tables are cleared away promptly. You likely won't find yourself thinking about an employee's shortcomings, which is optimal. As for the food, certainly the main attraction of any buffet, they offer a wide variety of Mediterranean and mixed culture dishes to satisfy your appetite. From start to finish, they offer salads, condiments, appetizers, soups, rices, vegetable dishes, fried/roasted items and finally meat based items. They all offer distinct flavors, and the only problem I've consistently experienced has been less than warm items. Not so uncommon during slow times and rushes both, however it comes hand in hand when you have one connected buffet containing so many items. Overall, you're getting your money's worth and usually a little more here. Putting this all together, you have a long-running buffet serving halal food that has earned its keep in the community. Be careful of peak times as their seating is relatively limitedefinitely come here if you haven't before. I strongly recommend making your own decision about Dimassi's. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Raw Chicken (3rd time this has happened) - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

What a great Mediterranean restaurant. These guys have three different kinds of hummus. They have a little bit of everything, it's well and properly made, it's all you can eat and in a buffet. Baklava. It's good for families and good for friends. I wish they had one in my state. They sure make a lot of money. To Dimassi's: Check out BeaverCreek Ohio potential place to open a new restaurant. read more

Long line of flavorful, variety filled entrees ! All you can eat kabobs, hummus, seasoned pita bread, fish, gyro beef-chicken, variety of fresh salads, diff rices, fish. Soft drinks, green tea. And for dessert baklava , pastry cookies, frozen yogurt, rice pudding, and a strange jello yellow/green thing. They also have soup- chicken/lentil. Around $12/person. Spacious, pleasant ppl, guy wld come over and take out the dirty dishes. I would say since we sat near the windows to clean them - it was a bit dusty. Service 5/5 Taste 5/5 Clean 4.5/5 We will be back :) it was very nice and filling. read more

Would not recommend this location. Horrible seating, they have all tables lined up like a cafeteria style seating and it's hard to move around. The table are so lopsided and unstable that people behind us their drinks slide down and fell on them. Food is good but they created an irritating atmosphere. Plus when you check out they ask for a tip!!!!! For what?????? No one fills your drink, picks your plates up or gets you new one. Go to Ali Babas, will never return. read more

Can't ever go wrong with this place! Their rose water is a hit! Sometimes the carbonated drinks are just too sweet, or the Texas sweet teas have just too much sugar, so their rose water is the perfect alternative. They also have a tamarind water which I have not tried yet. I will have to go back and try it soon. Their buffet selection has so many options starting from a Romaine lettuce salad, a fatoush salad cucumber, tomato, radish, mint, salad made with olive and lemon juice, a tabouli salad, a mixed green salad with onion and mushroom, and an arugula salad. They also have a pinto bean salad, a garbanzo bean salad and a pasta salad. A lot of salad options! Exactly up my alley! For appetizers options they have grape leaves filled with rice and herbs, a flat round pizza, zatar and falafel. Dimassi's also makes fresh pita bread in house! Definitely a must get when you come to this place. Nothing like fresh bread made in house! They also have lentil soup and a chicken noodle soup which is absolutely outstanding! They have delicious dipping sauce section with baba ghanouge, a spicy pepper hummus, an avocado hummus as well as traditional hummus. They also have garlic sauce and a cucumber mint yogurt sauce. They have various rice and mixed options such as beef, veggies and herbs. They have chicken kabob, beef kabob, lamb shank, baked fish, gyro and many others. Not to mention their fruit and dessert options. I hope to go back soon and try all the food I was not able to get because I got full! Be sure to try to Baklava also! Can't forget to mention that! read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Yummy! - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This is about the worst meal I have ever had at a Dimassi restaurant in Austin, San Antonio, the Woodlands, and Houston. The Gero meat was chalky, and, cut off in very large sections, thick and hard as a rock. The chicken was cold, and had been sitting on the warming tables for quite a while. When asked if my meal was OK and I said that it was not, I was told it was closing time at 7:15 PM, Mind you closing time is actually 9 PM. I will not be returning. read more

Does it appear to others that the quality has decreased over the last six months? I have always liked eating there. But today, I didn't finish half a plate. I spit out the baklava. read more

Restaurant was clean looking and food displayed attractively, however that where it stops. The edible items were lentil soup, rice, babakanush , and hummus. The remaining items were either overly spiced, extremely salty or over sweet. This is the first time (and probably the last time) we were here since the pandemic, and the quality of the food has diminished exponentially. read more

Great variety. Drinks included. Flavors were wonderful. Straight from grill to buffet tray in plain sight. Only entree I didn't like as much as the others was the lamb. Dessert also included was yummy. Great value, wish a location was closer! read more

Since writing my last review, I have returned twice in a long time. While the ambience is still "cafeteria-like", I do like that they have LOTS of vegetable / salad dishes. read more

Our favorite go to for middle Eastern food. Buffet kept filled with fresh food, clean and delicious. Flavors are traditional and remind me of being there. Remember that every Mediterranean dish has nuances depending on it's cultural origins, but I've never had a dish I didn't like here. read more

Great food, great price! I first came to Dimassi's with a friend for my birthday lunch. The selection of food was incredible, authentic and tasty. It was so good I recently ordered delivery, I declined the rice and they added extra vegetables without asking. Not knowing they would add more I ordered additional vegetables. I wanted an order of falafel but the delivery menu only had a falafel plate. I mentioned my desire for a side of falafel and found two lovely falafel tucked in the with vegetables. There was so much food I got several meals from this order. I love this place! read more

First time here, it was good! Went around 2pm for a late lunch. The restaurant is big, I felt safe with social distancing since they have a lot of seating. I really liked seeing gloves in the area you get your food with a sign asking customers to use a new glove every time you get food. The food overall was good, a lot of different options. read more

We've been wanting to come here since we moved to Dallas and glad we made it with a couple of friends. I enjoyed myself and the price is great! They have a large selection of various dips (hummus etc), salads, rice and both meat/vegetarian options. Their spicy hummus, tabbouleh, meatballs, pita bread and beef kabobs are some of the things I really enjoyed. They don't have a great selection of dessert but I was so full after I ate I didn't have space for anything else. The guy at the register was friendly but staff didn't really come around to pick up plates as often as they should have to pick up plates we were done with. Looking forward to our next trip. read more

Everything fine besides the food being really salty !Large variety of Middle eastern dishes. Pleasant atmosphere

Not all Dimassi's are created equal. Items that I love at the Plano/Frisco location are on my do not eat list here. The salads lacks flavor, the food feels like it's been sitting under heatlamps, and the gyro meat tasted old. Not a fan. read more

The guy Muhammad was very disrespectful and rude!!! The lady cashier fixed the issue and was very kind!! We came here all the time but no more we are coming to dimassi!! Lamb shank were not tender and since we got another one he charged us $20 each for the uncooked shanks! I am very disappointed read more

The food overall was ok. Quality was good, taste was fine, and it was fresh and plentiful, a departure from what you often find at many buffets. It was the ambiance that would keep me away. I felt like i was eating in a hospital cafeteria. No music, no personal service at all, bright lights, just nothing that would bring me back. The atmosphere actually made me UNcomfortable (it was also cold inside on a cold, rainy night), so much so that it's the main reason I won't return. The bill for a family of 4 (with tip) was about $90 and that's way too high for a meh experience. read more

Very clean, large space, nice soothing background music, great variety of hummus, soups, awesome bread, meats. Love it!!

This a buffet... Nothing special and the outside looks shabby.. But once in the food is good. And the price affordable. Let start you go straight to the buffet and pay after you are done. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is cooked wonderfully. The salads are fresh and full of flavor. I had this baked eggplant that was very yummy I had to get seconds. Variety of rice combos were a welcome site since I was with a person who has dietary restrictions.so it was wonderful we could both eat and have a wonderful meal. Now on to the breads.. Please get the fresh baked pita bread.. Warm out of the oven. But if you are there and there is a cold on they are still good.. These are so yummy.. And the deserts were great... Hole in the wall and nothing fancy but the food speaks for itself.. And will go back. read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - Lunch - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Pretty solid spot for Mediterranean buffet. I've been here several times for lunch and they have a pretty good food selection. It's $12.99 for the lunch buffet and they have everything from your salads to a variety of hummus and dips to your meats and soups. Their pita bread is constantly baked fresh so it's always soft and warm. They have your usual meats you may find at a Mediterranean restaurant including your lamb gyro, chicken, and fish options. If you're not a huge fan of Mediterranean food, there's also some Americanized options as well. Don't forget to save some room for their baklava for dessert! It can get quite busy during lunch time but there's plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. read more

If you care about yourself and because all this pandemic situation... don't go to this place... we supposed to used mask and gloves during we're serving the food because is a buffet... but there's some people very stupid that they don't care at all... but the worst thing is that the owner don't care too... they don't say anything to those stupid people So better to choose other responsible restaurant!! read more

Love this place! LOTS of variety always! Zaatar bread is amazing. Food, drinks, dessert, and the usual Turkish coffee at the counter!

The food tastes great but isn't always as hot as it should be. I kinda get the feeling they are counting on quantity over quality. The analogy would be they are the Cici's Pizza of the Mediterranean food buffets. The food isn't bad but not great and you will have an upset stomach when you leave read more

Went there due to me liking Mediterranean food. It. Was a Buffet and food kept being replaced as needed. It was clean and I will be back.

Shardae was THE BEST!! we have had her twice and will continue to request her!! Food was also great along with the music!!!

The food was decent. Price of the buffet for one person on a Saturday night was about $15. Parking is very limited once it starts to get busy. If you like to eat around 500 screaming kids running around, this is your place. Fresh naan made frequently. Tables busted frequently but not enough to where you have 8 plates sitting on front of you for 15 minutes but it's okay ignore that and just work on the food. read more
