• ★★★★★ Dolma Gyro Kafta Kabob Greek Salad Baklava Visited May 20, 2026

  Best Mediteranean Buffet I've Been To - Dolmas Kafta Gyro Baklava all Included.

  I've eaten at Dimassi's about 9 times now, and while the price has increased, and the buffet has remained pretty consistent. I do feel the food quality has declined a bit, the Greek salad has changed, and some of the other items seem to have changed in preparation, but it is still the best Mediterranean buffet I've been to.
  
  Dimassis's does have multiple locations, 2 in San Antonio, 1 in Austin, and over 6 in Houston. I have only visited the I-10 location in San Antonio.
  
  The buffet has a huge selection of items, theres no way I could remember them all but heres a quick summary that is far from complete.
  
  (Dips) Hummus, Spicy Hummus, Tzatziki, Baba Ghanoush
  
  (Rice) Lentil Rice, Dill Rice, Vermicelli Rice
  
  (Meats) Gyro, Sumac Chicken, Baked Chicken, Kafta Kabob, Curry & Meat Balls, Dolmas & More
  
  (Salads) Broccoli, Arugula, Pasta, Spring, Kale
  
  (Desserts) Kheer, Baklava, Namoura Semolina Cakes
  
  (Veggies) Grilled, Spinach, Cauliflower, Okra, Eggplant
  
  Falafels
  
  Fresh Naan Bread
  
  Fruit
  
  Favorites here are the semolina cakes, and baklava, the gyro meat, the vermicelli rice, the sumac chicken, dolmas with taziki and the greek salad.
  
  The buffet items here are as good as many of the restaurant entrees I've had at other mediterranean restaurants. If you like this type of food, this place is a must try.
  
  The buffet is self serve, the price includes your drink, items will be prepared for you fresh if requested or if items are empty on the buffet line, and again, the selection cant be beat. Staff does come around to check on tables, clear plates, and offer any service needed. They will alert you before clearing the buffet when it gets close to closing, as they keep everything refilled nearly all the way until closing, so don't think just because its after 8pm the food wont be fresh. They will make sure you have your plate loaded up before they start to "clear the line".
  
  At the time of writing this, I believe the buffet is now about $18 during the week and $21 on the weekend. But when you factor in that this includes the drink & desserts, its not a bad deal.

• ★★★★½ Greek Salad Sumac Chicken Grilled Vegetables Kheer Visited Jul 13, 2022

  Had To Return For More. The Best Mediterranean Buffet I've Been To

  This was my second time eating here, and once again, I had a very good experience. I tried several new items this time, including sumac chicken, chicken in a mustard sauce, and a baklava-style pastry with a soft, doughy white center.
  
  I also had the Mediterranean/Greek salad, several types of kababs, hummus, tzatziki, gyro meat, pita bread, and meatballs. The salad was fresh and had a good mix of greens, plenty of crumbled feta, and a few banana peppers scattered throughout. The kabab meat was just as good as I remembered from my first visit—moist, tender, and full of flavor. The meatballs were decent, although they weren't one of my favorites. The grilled vegetables were another nice addition, with a good grilled flavor that went well with several of the other items.
  
  The items I enjoyed on my previous visit were just as good this time, which was nice to see. With so many choices on the buffet, it's easy to try something different while still going back for the things you already know you like.
  
  Service was good as well. My table was cleared regularly by an employee who made rounds with a small cart every so often. Drinks are included with the buffet, and there's a soda fountain where you can get soda, tea, and the other available beverages.
  
  The buffet was $17.99 plus tax and tip, including the drink. Considering the variety, quality, and the fact that I can go back and try so many different dishes, I think that's a pretty good value.
  
  After two visits, this is probably the best Mediterranean buffet I've found. The food has been consistently good, there's plenty of variety, and I still have a lot of items left to try.
