I dined here ?️ for brunch/lunch with my sister last month and the Mediterranean buffet was absolutely delicious ?!! You can sit for as long as you like, beat the extreme Texas heat by enjoying “All you can eat!” and truly get 2 meals in one sitting ??!!The meat ? ? is so tender, and the veggies ? ? , salad ? and fruit ? are so fresh ?!! The drinks ?? are absolutely refreshing ? and an absolute MUST especially in the summer time ?!! And the customer service in the front, at the buffet, and even right by our table was excellent ?!! The busboy was extremely attentive ? and promptly took away any empty plates and glasses right away ?!!Dimassi's is a really inviting and warm place ☺️ to spend with either your friends and family ❤️?! It's really nice and cool inside ? with beautiful ? restaurant decor! It gets busy on the weekends. But it doesn't feel overwhelming and you can truly have a wonderful conversation with your loved ones ?! It's also a really nice place to eat solo if you just want to come in on your own ?! I saw some people come solo and they enjoyed their meal just as much as people who came in groups ?!I heard that in my home state of CA, there is a Dimassi's in Cerritos (Southern CA) ?! So I'll have to try that one ? someday as well ?!Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options ? ? for customers who can not eat meat, or who prefer not to eat meat ?!Kid-friendliness: It is very kid-friendly. You can maneuver a stroller easily inside the restaurant and you can place a highchair right at the edge of the table.Parking: We really liked how there is plenty of parking and it’s for free ?!Wheelchair accessibility: I can’t remember if the entrance to the restaurant has a ramp for a wheelchair to get in.But for sure, once inside the restaurant, the restaurant is spacious enough to maneuver a wheelchair, and the tables are the proper height to tuck a wheelchair under for comfortable seating.

The food was delicious! I had to stop after 3 plates, and didn't even taste all the items. The ambiance was very nice, it was clean and modern.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.

The food is great, authentic and price is affordable. I paid about $15 +tax. There is really no seating if you are a solo dinner. It's geared for groups. The rose water was so delicious.Vegetarian options: They have many vegetable options, soups,salads. All delicious

Brought my nephew who didn't eat because he was picky. The lady up front said he grabbed a plate, but he didn't eat anything. I told her he is autistic and had to look at the food but decided against it. She said he still grabbed a plate, and next time he would be charged, this review is based on service and how she made us feel. The food is pretty good, I have no complaints, and I like atmosphere. I just need to work on service because I won't come back if I can't bring my nephew.

For the most part their food is good, wish they had more basic options with chicken. Potatoes weren't cooked all the way and the bread was just covered not even warmed up. But overall it was good and cleaned.

I rarely frequent any buffet but I'm in a very large restaurant group in San Antonio that had several reviews that were extremely positive so, of course, I made my way there. Upon walking in, the first thing you'll see is pricing and a sign that tells you to seat yourself and pay when you exit. As far as buffets go, this is a very good option with an abundance of offerings. I feel like it would cater to everyone from vegan to carnivore diets and everything in between. Everything was very fresh and made in small batches which I appreciate. Nothing had been sitting out for hours on end as they were constantly replacing items with fresh food because it went so quickly. Everything I tried was very delicious, but the highlights for me were the delicious meatballs, the salad options, and the hummus. My only qualms with the restaurant is the pita was very lackluster and the restrooms were not as clean as I would've liked. They did have a zaatar pizza which was good but I was expecting a different experience when it came to the bread. I would definitely recommend eating here. It's very healthy, fresh food.

Best Mediterranean food in SA. Food is fresh, affordable, and Ms. Lina is amazing with customers. The restaurant/restrooms are very clean and well maintained. Family owned business that treats you like family as soon as you arrive. I've recommended this place to my friends and family.

Delicious Mediterranean food! With a great selection and for being a buffet, it was pretty darn good. very clean and friendly staff.

This is the newest location. Our preferred is a but further so we decided to try this one out. First impression was this location was much smaller all in one room. It seems to not have as much variety as the bigger location and food wasn't as fresh.

Many choices which is great. The food is good and options are plenty. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. I like that there are gloves to wear as you serve yourself. I do wish there was feta and perhaps olives as a side. The lamb was not hot and it seemed dry. I see them refreshing the trays but not the lamb which would have been nice. Otherwise it was a overall good experience.
I always feel apprehensive about buffets, for some of them don't have a lot of vegan options, or they would mix the use of serving tools and cause cross-contamination. I had low expectations coming into Dimassi's, and they truly surprised me: the food names and allergens are clearly labled, and the self serving area is very clean and organized! They have many salads, different types of hummus, falafels, roasted eggplants and cauliflowers - some of my favorites among middle eastern food. They also have a vegan baklava, and it was really good. I can't wait to be back.

This place will close in the next 18 months mark my words. The food had hair in it. The curly hair manager is in sweatpants, to busy on her phone calling her daddy. Then she runs around after her employees to do something on the phone. Then she leaves and is on the phone outside, no one to manage . At the register, the customer ahead of us she states "I learned Spanish because of them" and points towards the kitchen. We had to ask multiple times can you bring out food , she didn't even look up from her phone she was playing or texting and with a nasty attitude, "when I'm done here I will get to it". While getting drinks, I heard her state " you people get over here so I can tell you hat your doing wrong". The gyro meat wasn't shaved properly. The tables were filled with dishes even though it was pretty empty.

Just showed up here without thinking. I know from what I heard it had been opened for a while but I had not been here. My husband is a very picky eater Mediterranean is not something he will ever suggest or consider. When you come in they greet you and let you know that you can eat and pay after. I was so impressed with the variety of food they had I felt I was in heaven. Food is fresh and they made sure it kept coming out if it ran out. They had soups, hummus, desserts and so much more. I have come back because this place is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Love the food, freshly made and oh so much to choose from. A warm welcome at the door is the beginning of a culinary experience. Although described as Mediterranean, it has a strong Middle Eastern vibe. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Yes great food,great atmosphere and amazing value for money .

Great variety! Very clean. Super fresh food and lots of salads that were all delicious! We tried all the chicken dishes and they were cooked with tons of flavor. This place would have gotten a 5 star review but I was craving a fish option and in my opinion, the fish was dry and overcooked. Otherwise, great place with awesome ambiance for a buffet!
