I'd been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. There's another location in Round…read moreRock, but many reviewers said the original spot is much better, so we decided to start with the OG location. Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.

Thanksgiving came around and we had zero desire to cook or clean. Our "plan" (and I use that word…read moreloosely) was Golden Corral. We figured if we got there early, we'd beat the crowd. Cute of us, honestly. We pulled up and that parking lot looked like Beyoncé was performing. Cars everywhere: on the grass, on the curbs, people creating their own imaginary parking spaces. People circling like it was Black Friday. Absolutely not. We left with no backup plan and even less hope. Pulled up Yelp and I remembered that Dimassi's buffet had been on my radar for months, but was it open? Called them up and CHA-CHING!!! Money! They were open, guys. That phone call felt like hitting the lottery. Thanksgiving was saved. We arrived and Dimassi's was calm, clean, and the buffet bar was fully stocked with hot food fresh out of the kitchen. They had your Mediterranean favorites: dips, salads, gyro meat, dolma, chicken kabobs, saffron rice, the good garlicky toum, warm potatoes, fresh pita, everything. They even prepared a turkey for patrons who wanted some. Wow. They understood the assignment. Now a couple things could be tweaked. I like my baba ganoush served warm...and maybe they could have had some lamb options? But, honestly? For a buffet on Thanksgiving at $23 a person ($9 for the 3 yr old with us), they delivered HARD. Dimassi's didn't just feed us...they rescued us from the Golden Corral Hunger Games. Thank you for being open. Thank you for coming through in the clutch. You saved Thanksgiving.

An outstanding experience!…read more My family and I came for a birthday celebration and had an AMAZING time! Check-in was easy and effortless with the kiosk. Even our bracelets printed at the same time from the kiosk. The room was spacious and clean, located halfway down the hallway, which we loved because we avoided the elevator traffic noise. The food was very pricey and pretty basic. Once we ate, we headed to the park, which was an experience! The lazy river was a nice pace and the temperature was perfect. The rides were lots of fun and the lines weren't long at all. We also explored the adults only area, which was the cherry on top. It was quiet and the drinks were excellent. Overall we LOVED our experience and can't wait to return.

Our Texas Girl Scout troop was planning an end of the year large group trip and intended to book…read more20-25 rooms through Kalahari group sales, with approximately 50-60 people participating. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly frustrating and disorganized. Our point of contact was Jeselle Corpuz. For over a month, we were repeatedly told by Jeselle they were "working on our group rate," yet they still expected our group to commit to staying there without knowing the actual cost. We would receive emails at the end of the business day with no new information -- only that they were still working on it. Keep in mind, this was coming from the manager of group sales. We emailed several times and rarely received responses. We also left multiple voice messages and never received callbacks. We even contacted corporate, only to be referred back to the same person who had been unhelpful throughout the process. Communication was slow, unclear, and lacked professionalism. After waiting weeks with no concrete answers, we finally decided to move our troop's trip elsewhere. We ended up booking another waterpark, reserving a different hotel, and even adding another group activity -- all with far better customer service and much quicker responses. It was especially disappointing because our Girl Scouts voted for this as their end-of-year trip. We were prepared to bring not only the girls, but also their families -- which would have meant a very large group and significant business for Kalahari. Unfortunately, the lack of competence, communication, and ability to provide even basic information made it impossible to move forward. In my 10 years of planning end-of-year troop trips, this is the first time we have been unable to give the girls the trip they requested and voted on. Over the years, we've successfully planned trips to Great Wolf Lodge, Epic Waters, Jellystone, SeaWorld, the Fort Worth Zoo, NASA, Moody Gardens, and many other destinations, and we have never experienced such a frustrating and poorly managed booking process as we did with Kalahari.

Parking is normally pretty open but there was a bunch of people waiting to see purple martins so it was packed. But we found a spot regardless. Our server was slow to actually take our orders and I had to ask multiple times for my tea, otherwise everything was good. That was really my only complaint.

My husband and I visit regularly--almost every month. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They serve food on Corelle dinnerware, which elevates the dining experience, and keep several water bottles on each table for convenience. In addition to the waitstaff, they use a food delivery robot, which adds a fun touch. Yesterday, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chole Bhature, and 10 pieces of Dahi Puri. The food arrived quickly, with the kebabs still sizzling on the plate. The spice level of the Tikka Kebab was spot on, and the Chole Bhature was delicious--even getting a stamp of approval from my husband! The Dahi Puris were so good that we couldn't stop eating until they were all gone. We highly recommend this spot.

OVERVIEW: Kind of what you would expect as far as buffets go. Variety? Yes! Quality? No. Pick your…read morebattles. If you want a wide variety of brunch buffet options - everything from cereal, pancakes, and waffles, to fried chicken and bacon, menudo, and cake, go for it. The $13.99/person weekend brunch buffet is a decent deal given the variety of options. But none of it is good. The vibe of the place gives off a rundown Gatti's or arcade place with the entrance to pay. You self-serve your drink of choice, pay to enter the gates, and seat yourself at an open table. It's not dirty but not the cleanest, either. Cafeteria style. There was water/condensation dripping from the ceiling. The freshness of the food varies on the timing of your visit. During rush hours, they're turning food over more quickly and you can catch it hot and fresh. It was an experience to say the least - and maybe it's nostalgic for some and definitely a more affordable place to just get a little of everything.

Today, I stand very disappointed with my decision of going back to golden corral. Inspiring I placed my order online at 3:43 Pm Sunday. I arrived at the restaurant at four thirty order was not ready. I had to repeat my name to the same lady on three separate occasions.When she wanted to ask me the name of the order.I was waiting on. As for my order, online are pictures are very deceiving. It takes me back to a bait and switch type transaction. I ordered the catfish dinner, which clearly shows online.That is two fellas well as you can see in the picture that I provided those are not two fillets.Those are very small.Bite sizes of fish. Also on top of that, they had the audacity to put three french fries in my plate which I did not order french fries.But they gave me three french fries. Do some people may say that i'm being real?Petty about this review and the food. In this day and time where the economy is not treating anyone fairly.The restaurant business has no problem with raising their prices. If you're gonna raise your prices, you need to make sure that the quality and the customer service is there Bixby. Equip misleading your customers to think that they're getting something in which they're not getting. One last thing they allowed a panhandler to sit in front of their door to ask people for money going in and going out, while I was there, there was a couple of customers that brought it 21 of the cashier's attention, not sure.She understood what he was saying.But when I left the guy asked me for money, I just don't think that's a great place for that to be happening.It's a business.

There were barely any people on a Saturday night which made us feel a little apprehensive after stepping in. The restaurant was dimly lit and restrooms were dirty. We were a group of 4 people, two of whom are Maharashtrian and know what the food tastes like. Comments for individual dishes: Vada pav - Not served with Mumbai pav but slider buns which is as unauthentic as can be. Sabudana vada - Crispy, tasted good, served with sweet yogurt. Pithla bhari - The worst I have ever had. Pithla was too runny, bhakri was downright stale/unedible. Pomfret fry - Fish skin was burnt, but taste was better than some of the other dishes. Puran poli - It was super thin, barely any puran filling and seemed to have been served after quick heating rather than fresh, the edges were unedible. Saoji chicken curry - Too much garam masala Triple Schezwan fried rice - This was the best dish among all those we ordered. It was served with manchurian gravy. A humble request to the restaurant management - please serve edible, authentic Maharashtrian dishes or remove them from the menu rather than misleading people.

We came in about 45 minutes after opening time, we were greeted and seated promptly. We were then offered drinks! We chose water , which was at room temp ( disappointing). Then the host walked us through how the buffet works. My disappointment was that we came in pretty early(12:30) and the buffet wasn't really ready for the public . Beyond that the buffet includes naan tableside - which was 1/2 of a naan and wasn't included in the buffet price ( disappointing). So our understanding was if you ask for more naan ! You pay for that?????? Any way! We ate and felt like we needed to not eat as much to save food for others. Buffet should be full and ready for lunch! This wasn't.
