    Doesn't look like much from the outside but open the door and enjoy old school dining and decor. The food is plentiful though it takes a while to get to the table. Found the fries a bit greasy and not crispy as if they were cooked before the oil was at temperature. The pita was also a little dry around the edges. The owner visited our table and was solicitous.

    Cheers

    It was such a pleasant surprise, my daughter and I first time there, the food was superb, our wait time was very minimal, we enjoyed such a friendly atmosphere, definitely one of my new favorites!!!!

    Wanted to eat some Mediterranean food for lunch so a coworker and I came to Olive Tree to try it out. Pretty spacious interior with a good amount of parking in front so that's always a plus. Our server was friendly and checked up on us throughout our lunch. Hummus w/Pita- the hummus was good! I never had pita flat like this so it was pretty interesting but it wasn't bad Batenjan- I'm not sure if I liked this dish. I feel like the acidity from the tomatoes were a little too overpowering and I didn't get to taste the savoriness of the dish. The Batenjan comes with a salad though so that's nice! Overall, I'd rate this place a 3.5. I'm not sure if I'd come back for lunch but I did see on the flyer that there's Belly Dancing so that's pretty neat and maybe I'd come back for that and try a different dish.

    I was already in love with this place, but wow--the new updates and decor was amazing!!! The service was outstanding as always, it was the owners son, Dominique--he's a fabulous host. Hooked us up with the special for two that included some Lebanese red wine and it was fabulous. The special included chicken, filet mignon, and kaftan kabobs with roasted onions, tomatoes, and rice... so bomb. I always get the chicken kabobs anyhow, which are always cooked to perfection. You MUST get their hummus and baba ghanoush as appetizers and of course, what is this feast without an amazing desert? Homemade baklava of course!!! After dinner Dominique was showing us all the new renovations and took us to the new hookah lounge they made---totally awesome!!! He offered to try many different types of tequilas on the house, but if course we tipped because he was just a riot! He likes to play name that tune game with you, and he's REALLY good at stumping you even though you know the song!!! I enjoyed myself tremendously and the new ambiance is just the shiz, this place is a jewel and I'm glad I discovered it 5 years ago bc it's off the chain now! Don't forget belly dancing every Friday night!!! Thank you Dominique and pops, you guys are awesome!!!

    DELICIOUS!!!!, authentic food. Nothing especially fancy, but very comfortable and welcoming. They have a huge patio for outdoor dining and a spacious indoor dining room. Belly dancing and fixed menu special on Fridays. We will be back for sure!

    INCREDIBLE food!! If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. A little hard to spot but once you do it'll change your life!! The owner Dominique is a great guy, come pay him a visit. 10/10

    This was my first time trying this establishment as I live and work closer to Clearlake/Friendswood area. My mother brought me here for my birthday. I've had other Mediterranean restaurants but I must say this one left me feeling just right and satisfied- not too full or heavy. My go-to is the gyro or Greek salad, but I decided to step outside the box today. We ordered the stuffed cabbage rolls, pita and hummus, and bamieh. The bamieh came with a side salad as well. The food was flavorful and tasty. I was perplexed with the amount of meat that came with the dish (4 bite size pieces), but the owner (I'm assuming) came out to explain they use filet mignon with this dish (menu describes it only as beef tenderloin). I understood then why the meat was limited and would've been okay with the dish as is had it been explained earlier, but nonetheless, they did provide me with extra beef. I will be back again as I enjoyed the food I had, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff very friendly.

    Mixed grill, hummus, Baba Ganoush, cabbage rolls,  stuffed grape leaves

    To go doesn't do it Justice, Sorry Holy Crap, Amazing. Got the mixed grill, hummus, baba ganoush, Cabbage rolls, and stuffed grape leaves. I have more than enough for dinner tomorrow. Everything was fresh, tasty, and amazing. If I wasn't flying out in 2 days, I would be back for sure. Definite must visit!!

There's plenty of space for large parties, and you're greeted kindly once you enter. Unlike most buffets I've been to, at Dimassi's, you pay AFTER you've had your fill. Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet is surprisingly not very expensive. Their food is freshly made, straight from the kitchen and everything at the buffet is always kept at the right temperature. There's multiple kinds of salads, hummus, meats, fresh veggies, pasta, beans, rice dishes, and desserts. Their pita bread and flatbreads are freshly baked from the oven. They even serve authentic Greek coffee. Most of the dishes are what you'd typically see in Mediterranean cuisine. While, there's some classic American comfort food mixed in. Dimassi's offers pick up orders, if you're not in the mood for buffets. I liked their chicken kebabs, but they're too thick. I wouldn't recommend the meatballs. They were dry and lacked flavor. The tomato sauce the meatballs were steeped in didn't help. The sauce was watery and very bland. Their Beef Kofta is delicious, but very rich, so I wouldn't eat more than one piece. Their rice pudding wasn't the best either. It still had chunks of rice. Dimassi's doesn't have much to offer for little kids. They only had cheese pizza, fried chicken wings, fries, banana pudding with vanilla wafers, and only one kind of cookie. I think I'll take my mother here sometime, though.

You don't have to go overboard but maybe say hi or ask if I have questions....something. Ordered the gyro withBeef / Lamb or Grilled Chicken with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Tzatziki and Feta. Fries. Then was told a side salad came with it. The salad was nice. The gyro came with about 5 tiny diced tomatoes and even less red onions. I would not of eaten the side salad had I known this and, instead, saved it to put on the gyro. The pita was stale. The Tzatziki sauce was unlike any I have ever had with a weird texture. Maybe the cucumber was shredded but it didn't taste like cucumber. It was odd. The fries were good and cooked extra crispy as I requested. I certainly had better Greek food and I have had worse. This would not be someplace I'd wake and go "oh I want to go here!" I just happened to be at the mall when a friend asked if we could meet for lunch and I was parked out front of this place. Due to the food just being okay and the mall location, it is unlikely I will be back.

So slow we could've gone to another restaurant, been sat, and eaten a meal before we ate our meal here. When we walked in, there was only another table or two seated inside so we were like okay not busy, we'll be in and out, but that was far from the case. There was only one server that night that did almost literally everything, and it was hard to find or flag her down. More people were starting to come in and to our dismay THEIR orders were being taken first after we'd been ready and just sitting there for literally more than 15-20 minutes. Ridiculous is an understatement; we were also sitting right in front of the kitchen so I don't understand how she kept passing by us without batting an eye. There were tables that came after us and left before us, truly disappointing. At one point when we were finally able to get her attention, she said "let me drop this water off and I'll be right back." Spoiler alert - she didn't. She dropped it off and went to tend to other tables before finally coming back to us. Besides all of that, the food was good and eased our frustration a little bit. We ordered the trio dip as a starter and circling back to the service complaint for a second, we thought she would've put it in before more guests started pouring in, but she didn't!! So we were left waiting with no food whatsoever, everything ended up coming out at the same time. Anyway, moving on - the food was seasoned very well, and the flavor was all there, perfect and just the way I expected. It satisfied my cravings and I have no complaints about that. Overall, I think the establishment could be a little better. It's not a huge dining area so I didn't expect service to take that long. I don't mean to be harsh and I understand there was only one server, but I don't remember waiting so long for my order to be taken at a restaurant. We were there for definitely more than 1 hour 50 minutes for a party of 2. I look forward to eating here again but perhaps another location.
