I'm naturally skeptical of buffets. The mere concept of vast amounts of food sitting out for hours, left at the mercy of unscrupulous diners to pick at with little oversight, doesn't instill confidence in me. This, however, is no sad lineup of wilted lettuce and stale French fries. The variety of dishes alone is remarkable, rotating regularly so every visit is a little bit different. It's ideal for diverse diners as well, since everything is labeled clearly for dietary concerns. Vegans can feast freely alongside omnivores and still get their money's worth. I could eat myself to ruin here. What stands out most prominently in my memory is the babaganoush, which had huge chunks of velvety, smoky eggplant, thick enough to eat with a fork. The za'atar flatbread, eggplant stew, and dolma were also top notch. Everything was super fresh, seasoned with a deft hand, and tasted better than most places serving single plates at a time. The price of admission includes soft drinks, too. I would camp out all day here if I gave up on ever fitting into my pants again. read more

Press the button for the lamb shank! This place is new - I'd been to the one on 183 in Jollyville and now there's one here. Bright, clean, open... a great addition to a part of Round Rock South that really needed it. Fantastic flavors, lots of choices, and a button to request a braised lamb shank fresh from the back. Do it. Press the button. Get the lamb! While we were there we saw them rotate in fresh food several times, moving the existing stuff to the front and adding new at the rear - perfectly done. Lots of different chicken dishes, from savory to spicy, and all the salads (very, very fresh!) and sides to go with them. Soft drinks, teas, rose waters... and deserts. Did I mention you can press the button for a freshly hot and tender lamb shank? read more

I came to this spot for lunch around 1 PM with a few coworkers, and it was fairly empty at that time, which made for a relaxed experience. There's plenty of seating, and it doesn't really seem to matter how big your party is. They can easily push tables together to accommodate larger groups without any issue. The buffet had a wide variety of options. One entire side was very vegetarian-focused, and surprisingly, that ended up being my favorite part of the buffet--even though I do eat meat. Most of the meat options were good, but I will say that a few of them didn't really feel very Mediterranean. Some items came across more like standard comfort food rather than Mediterranean-inspired dishes. That said, everything that was clearly Mediterranean or Mediterranean-inspired was really well done and full of flavor. The lunch buffet was around $20, which felt like a fair price for the variety and quality offered. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I'll definitely be back to give it another try. read more

It's just ok, but pretty expensive. Especially if you're not a meat-eater and just focusing on the other options. The food quality was all over the place, a couple of items seemed like they were out too long and were dry or tough. Nothing really stood out as great, just ok all around. I'll go to a regular sit-down Greek place instead, which costs the same and has better quality. read more

This by far is my go to buffet So many options to pick from with vibrant flavor Healthy Mediterranean choices Extremely reasonable prices Whether ur dinning in or need a good option for take away ,... this place has a beautiful row of choices Service was wonderful, extremely friendly, kind and welcoming Inside plenty of room for seating groups alone or for a few Extremely clean Parking lots to pick from Handicap accessible read more

Went to the new Dimassi location and was very impressed. There are very few buffets near our house so we were so excited this one opened up. Dimassi was extremely clean and had a huge line up of delicious foods. In total we got 4 plates. The food was very well seasoned and the ice cream was amazing. It almost felt criminal that I had two cones at 12pm but it was that good. read more

I love buffet (I want a taste of everything). I love Middle Eastern food. I've enjoyed a Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Richardson, TX. This beautiful new Round Rock location is - perfect? At LEAST 8 meters (25 feet) of fresh food, beautifully seasoned, correct temperatures, halal meats, vegetarian/vegan/everything labeled by ingredient, before I get to beverages, gorgeous desserts, cinnamon tea, so many wonderful comestibles! Prices 10% below the Austin standard, so great value for money. The service is efficient and friendly and my only concern is that it's on my way home from work. Too tempting. I will want to stop every day! read more

Great fresh selection available and truly something for everyone. Don't miss the special posted at the end of the Buffett. Offered during our visit were lamb shanks that were so tender and delicious. Falling off the bone. read more

On the fence about this review. I think it was because the first Dimassi's I went to was in Houston, and the food was great, not saying the food here was bad. So let me start by saying the inside is pretty, and I love the porch. The service was nonexistent. The selection was few, and the food was cold. The food would have been better if it were at least warm. But I'll come back. I think I went on the wrong day. We all have bad days. read more

Very tasty food and fresh too, my party was welcomed in by a friendly staff member, and the ambience was peaceful as we had come in at a non-busy time. read more

Not great, not bad or maybe I'm just looking for more? First time here, walked in and was confused what to do. Since they recently opened would be nice if someone was stationed at the door OR a sign to "take a seat anywhere and help yourself" would be amazingly helpful. My first pass thru, when I hit the end there is a drink station, I wasn't sure if it was included in the $20 price or what so just got water. Another sign for the drink station would be helpful as well. I was disappointed there wasn't any tiropita or spanakopita. Although, was happy to see Baklava on the desert section and it was the perfect ending bite to my visit. Seemed like it was a lot of different rice and veggies. I mostly ate gyro meat but I prefer when it's well done or dark on one side and this was all just regularly cooked of that makes sense. Which is fine, just my preference. It also wasn't hot, it was more room temp. In my experience today most everything was the same temp, not hot, not warm, not cold, everything just a little warm or room temp (including the pasta salads and coleslaws). When I was done I walked to the register and again, no one there. didn't have to wait super long but maybe others would have left. Maybe charge on the way in? Gives them a chance to explain it all too with the drinks, deserts, etc. Overall I won't be back but do think it's a great addition to the area. It was clean and quick! But for a $20 lunch, me personally I'll stick to other quick Greek places where I can get gyro meat with spanikopita and tiropita. Today I'm leaving hungry and really craving some. I'd be back if it was $13 maybe $14 with water for lunch and it didn't ask me for a tip. read more

Dimassi's has been one of my consistent go-to's when I'm craving Mediterranean food and this newer location is no different. The offering is pretty much the same as the Research Blvd location though there was one dish with juicy lamb meat and mint lemonade which were new to me and great. They also serve a lamb shank for each adult during dinner. The space is bright and beautiful and clean and overall a great value with delicious food and variety. read more

Recently visited this Mediterranean buffet. The spread includes a good selection of fresh salads, both cooked and raw vegetables, pizza and fresh baked bread. They also have some authentic options like Mansaf (lamb, rice and yogurt sauce), and Molokhiyya (Leafy Green sauce usually served over rice and eaten with chicken). Also different kinds of rice and various meat options, including fried chicken, roasted chicken, kebabs, and gyro meat providing plenty of choices to satisfy any craving. For dessert, they have soft serve ice cream, assortment of fruits and pastries plus rice pudding. Service was great, clean restaurant, they are constantly coming around taking your dirty plates. Pay at end of meal. While the food isn't the absolute best I've ever had, it was consistently good. Overall large variety, great price and decent quality of the food! read more

Service was super fast and nice, the place was clean and overall it was a great experience in this new location! read more

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet - The new Dimassi's - Buffets Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Such a good spot to bring out of town guests. There is something for everyone. We tried a huge variety of foods and even the different teas. If you are looking for a healthy option this is the spot! The day we were there , there was alot of smoke filling tbe dining room so that part was unpleasant, must have been from cooking in the back. The place was clean and bussers were attentive, as well as the buffet display being orderly. They have a good thing going here and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Staff was clearly overwhelmed by the Sunday Mother's Day crowd. I have never eaten a meal surrounded by empty tables piled high with dirty dishes -- about 20% of the tables. The food was Ok but not great. Some of the vegetables looked like they had been around a while. Several dessert trays were empty. Decor was weird. Host was also weird -- shooed us away from a large table we weren't even planning to sit at because a big party had entered. The whole experience was a little surreal. read more

Didn't care for this place at all. Food was mediocre. Very disappointing, won't be back. Rating of 2 stars were generous.

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet is located on the east side of IH-35 in Round Rock in the old Outback Steakhouse location. If you have difficulty climbing steps, be sure to park on the north side of the building, which is where the ramp is. We arrived about 11:30 am and seated ourselves. There were only three tables being used. By noon the place was packed! The decor is very attractive and modern looking. There is a huge selection of delicious and healthy salads to choose from. There are many different meats to choose from including tandoori chicken and gyro meat. There is a large variety of drinks to choose from including Rose Water and Mint Lemonade. The service was excellent! They pretty much leave you alone to eat, but come by periodically to take dirty plates away. The lunch buffet costs about $18 per person. An excellent value in my opinion! We'll definitely be back! read more

I was very disappointed with my visit here. Pros: host was nice and it was very clean. Cons: everything else. The food left a lot to be desired. There was minimal seasoning besides an abundance of salt. I was expecting the beets to be pickled or have some lemon & dill...but nothing. The potatoes were cold all the way through. It is $23.99 for the dinner buffet. So about $51 for two people. So not worth it. They also charge for excessive food waste. Which is great BUT I didn't like my food and was scared I would be charged more so I tried my best to eat it all. read more

You serve yourself as it is a buffet. Food is good. All bread items were like rocks. Delicious sauces. Atmosphere is buffet style not bad but not pretty either. Definitely worth trying once. read more

A unique buffet experience that breaks all of the negative stereotypes about buffets. I've been to super expensive buffets in Vegas and this is on par at a fraction of the cost. Everything was not tasty and looked fresh (which is the real challenge on a buffet). Worth the trip for a variety of Mediterranean options. read more

1st time here and will definatley be back often.the buffet style and selection of food along with AMAZING taste.

Pleasant surprise! First time visit. Variety of choices on the buffet, and it all looked amazing. Fried fish, pasta, meatballs, roasted potatoes, and baked chicken - delicious. Definitely returning! read more

Very consistent! We've been to several locations in DFW, Houston and were very pleasantly surprised that there was one in Round Rock. Just opened! They have something for everyone and hubbs and I decided we needed to add something healthy while visiting Austin. They are open everyday and can accommodate large groups. Food is fresh and well tended. read more

Dinner prices are way too high for quality of food and buffet style. All the gyro meat was tough or way over cooked.

Been to a Dimassi's in Los Angeles and was looking forward to trying this one. It did not disappoint. Clean, new, bright facility with lots of parking, ADA ramp. Extensive buffet with lots of choices. Roomy with lots of tables comfortably spaced. Food was very good. Serving trays were well maintained and the food looked fresh. read more

His attitude with customer and his customer service fantastic. I recommend this restaurant to lots of my friends. Thanks Ms Arabian and Mr. Karim We be back again Maryam read more

Great atmosphere great customer service great food. Must try the what Karka tea it is the best!!!

Apparently it was opening day when I went, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to expectations. None of the dips were cold, and much of the hot food was also cold. The meats were dried out and bland. I usually love the South Austin location, but I won't be back for a while until they work out the kinks. At $20, it's also pretty pricey for lunch--especially considering the service was practically nonexistent. No one checked in on me, asked how everything was, or offered any help. Most of the staff seemed to be standing around or eating themselves. To top it off, there were dirty plates left on multiple tables around the dining area. read more

Food was amazing, ambiance was okay. Didn't care too much for the music. Service was fast and staff were attentive & courteous. Would definitely recommend, hoping to visit again soon. read more

I love Dimassi's and so excited this location is open!! This place is incredible! I love the fresh cucumber and tomato salads and tabouli as well. Then the entrees and other side dishes are always so tasty!! The food itself is delicious and then the fact it's a buffet is incredible! I plan to be back frequently! Lol Also I highly recommend the tamarind juice, it pairs so well with the flavors of the food. I rarely post reviews but this one is an easy 5 star for me read more
