Dimassi’s Mediterranean Buffet

It is my Favorite in Texas, the food is so good, the people are so friendly, the price is the best, & this Dimassi’s location have the best food

If this is what they eat in the Mediterranean I am in love… I loved all the salad choose especially the tabouli… All the items on the lunch buffet was fresh… The restaurant itself was very clean… If you are a lover of Mediterranean food this would be the perfect spot to visit!

I was familiar with the Dimassi’s on i-​10 near the beltway that shut down. That was years ago but I remember I liked it a lot. Saw the reviews on here and thought my reminiscing would come true. Unilocaler’s have failed me on this one. Hummus tasted like mayonnaise, falafels were terrible, vine leaves forgettable, salads and meats looked better than they tasted, bread was meh… Nightmares of Golden Corral started to creep into my head. How did this buffet cost $ 11? Whaaaaaaaa??? Was I eating the same food as the others who left stellar reviews? I looked through the pics and yeah it looks the same! The interior is as bland as the food. It obvious they put minimal effort into making the place look nice. Parking is no problem. To-​go is $ 6.99 per pound which should be the cost of the dine-​in buffet. Wont go back.

The food was OK. Everything I got was luke warm and cold before I was halfway through it… Usually its better, I will have to check in again on this place.

I am not an expert in Mediterranean food. I thought everything was good, fresh and health. This is a great lunch spot, especially if you are in a rush. There are no wait staff (but leave a tip for the busboy), so it is quick. You go though the line get you food, drink and silverware and your done, pay and go.

I got food poisoning from off temperature food here. I love the other Dimassi locations and I was so excited that they opened one in katy. I ate there at least six times with wonderful food. On my last time the fish was cold and the beans were warm. I spent the rest of the night vomiting it all back up. I will never go back!

First time and it sure won’t be my last !!
Everything I tried which I have no idea what I had on my plate except knowing what rice and eggplant is
I Sampled a little bit of all it was all yummy.
My family was wanting something different from our normal pizza, burgers, Mexican or Chinese
So as I’m looking on Unilocal it recommend here so reading the reviews everything was 5 star So I’m like let’s try it and we did and we cleaned all of our plates and some of us had seconds
Even the Rose water was pretty tasty.

We were skeptical at first as we are picky about ethnic foods. We were DEFINITELY wowed!!! EVERYTHING was AMAZING! My husband even had dessert O. o THAT is unheard for him!!! From the freshness of the ingredients to the pleasantness of the staff, THIS location is FANTABULOUS! Will DEFINITELY be going HERE again and again.

My wife and I visited and found the food was good. We were not impressed with the seating arrangements. It was buffet style eating and kind of like an indoor picnic were you sit next to anyone and everyone. There are a few booths. The atmosphere was international. Not very impressive inside or outside. Parking was ok.

Had high hopes of finding an awesome Mediterranean restaurant since leaving our 2 faves back in Ft Worth-Terra’s and Café Medi, but sure this is not it! The flavor of the food is really good but the hot foods are cold and the cold foods are warm! Hard for me to enjoy food that is not the temp it should be! If they would just fix that I would give this place 4 stars! Go ahead and try it if you don’t mind room temp food and an underwhelming ambience!

Food is always fresh and delicious! The staff does a great job at making sure the place is clean and buffet is always stocked!

The minute I walked into Dimassi’s on the Katy Freeway I scanned the room to get a sense of the clientele. I instantly recognized that I was the only blonde haired, blue eyed person in the entire mix of dark haired Middle Eastern-​looking customers. That was when I knew that the food would be good.
And damn it, it was.
Confession time; I LOVE Mediterranean cuisine. Greek, Lebanese, bring it on! There is something about the citizens of the eastern Mediterranean that makes them the ultimate geniuses at transforming simple ingredients into absolutely amazing tasting food. Dimassi’s is true to form.
They have more tasty salads than you can possibly choose from. The hummus is sublime. I missed my moment to try the baba ghanoush, but the wife swore it was incredible, and still teases me about it. I hate her. (not really, just jealousy speaking).
But I won’t pass up the opportunity next time. Incredible garlicky dip, spicy sauce, and warm pita bread. Roasted veggies. Oh man.
My only complaint is that they didn’t have olives to grab at, which I am addicted to, and I can see why – they are expensive, and customers will likely fill their plates and eventually put them out of business. My suggestion: offer an ala carte olive plate for extra charge. I will happily pay.
I was grinning like an idiot the entire time I was eating here. The wife teased me about it. I care not.

Glad to see one finally open in Katy! Food is usually fresh here and plentiful, but don’t expect much ambience. We always see fresh food being brought out. We love that there are numerous vegan options on this Lebanese buffet and all labeled accordingly. (Please note that the yogurt is NOT vegan and sign needs updated). Overall, very satisfying cuisine at this location. Delicious Hummus, Tabouleh, Lentil soup. The staff is friendly. This location is not as fancy as the Kirby or Westheimer one — it’s very dull interior and zero décor. Go for the food and not the ambience!

This is my 2^nd time eating at Dimassi’s but first time at this location. It was the same as the other location where there is nothing impressive about the building or the interior décor. BUT, the food. The food is super impressive. I am very surprised by the price and the amount of variety and the TASTE. Can’t be beat. Unless it’s homemade. Loads of vegan options to choose from. Drinks are included in the price.

clean, well filled buffet– loved the other locations glad it is close to work

Outside of the store looks a little run down, and the interior décor… well, truthfully there are none. Very typical, inexpensive table, chairs, plates, cups, and cutlery setting.
Although the restaurant itself isn’t very esthetically pleasing to the eye it was really clean and the food overall is yummy! The chicken breast was moist and flavorful, pulled pork was juicey, and the rice w/​vermicelli was well-​seasoned. Their «spanakopita» wasn’t wrapped in your typical filo dough, it was in the thicker dough like samosas. Chicken fajitas and chicken skewers were really dry (probably left out for too long). Fish was… nothing special; tilapia.
Baklava: flakey, sweet, nutty. Good.
Nummoora: sweet, a bit savory, coconut-​y
Apricot pie: great taste. Apricot jam was too dry and sticky, pie itself was very crumbley
Rice pudding: A MUST HAVE. DELICIOUS. Rose water makes it heavenly
Overall, yummy food. Better than most all you can eat buffets where more than half is inedible and the rest are okay. Worth the price. $ 29.99 for my husband and me.

This is a stellar place! Will be back!
Great value for a buffet of Mediterranean food.
Went on a Friday at lunch time and it filled up close to 1. Saw lots of families.
There’s a good selection of salads– from a Greek one to a pasta one. There’s hummus and great pita bread for dipping. If you’re a vegetarian the options are endless– it’s wonderful. Bean salad, lentil soup, lentils with rice, grilled veggies, falafel, eggplant. It’s all just so good! And of course there’s plenty for the non-​vegetarians amongs us: chicken, kebab, etc etc.
I was really pleased with selection and taste. Even on the drink side. The sweet iced tea could be sweeter but that’s just getting picky.
Awesome job, Dimassi’s!

Excellent variety of primarily Lebanese dishes. Very reasonable cost. The traffic to the buffet is sufficiently studying that dishes are turned over frequently hands keeping food fresh. If you’re not familiar with Lebanese food or are just inordinately hungry this is a great place to stop.

Very tasty. It was pretty slow so I hope they make it. This location is easily overlooked since there not much around.
We’ll be back!

Food is amazing, especially for a buffet. Hummus was top-​notch, dolmathes were tasty and the kebabs were perfect.
The thing that saves this from being a five-​star rating is the fact that you are on your own from the moment you walk in.
You set yourself, but there’s no sign to point that out. So I stood there until the cashier finished ringing someone up, then he told me to just sit anywhere and go get my food when I wanted. I got my food, got my own drink and found a table.
There was a sign saying that gyro meat was available any time upon request. That would have been great if I had ever seen anyone to request it from. It also meant, as this is a buffet, that no one cleared plates from tables as people ate.
There are ton of lonnnnnnng tables that seat like 30 or something. There are a good number that seat four, so life was good.
Again, the food won’t disappoint. The «service» might.
