Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet — Restaurant in Anaheim

What? A Mediterranean buffet? So uncommon but pleasantly satisfying.

The Food: Going to an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) restaurant is always about setting the right expectations. If you're expecting a 3-star Michelin experience, you'll be seriously disappointed. After all AYCE is about quantity, not quality. Fortunately, at Dimassi's you'll get a lot of the former and a solid amount of the latter. Yup, the Mediterranean food (leaning more toward Persian style than say Greek) was enjoyable and just as good as some regular sit-down restaurants. Of course, not every dish is amazing, but you'll find more good than bad.

Note: The lamb shank was melt-off-the-bone tender ... but unfortunately you only get one per visit. A second serving can be had for another $14.99. It's the only item on the menu that's restricted.

The Setting: It's located in what used to be a Marie Calendars in a strip mall at the corner of La Palma Avenue and Imperial Highway. It'll be easy to miss if you're just casually driving by due to the parking lot design. Thats a shame because Dimassi's would definitely be more popular if it was in a more accessible location. Still, the interior is modern and clean with plenty of tables and chairs.

The Service: The entire staff is quite friendly. Being a buffet, it's basically self-service, so not much to critique here. A busser did come occasionally to clear our used plates, but it looked like he was the only one clearing tables. They might be short staffed?

The Conclusion: If you're big into Mediterranean food and want a rare chance to get nearly unlimited quantities, Dimassi's is the go-to place to be. It's hard to beat at $27.99 a person for dinner -- especially give how much prices have gone up everywhere, this is actually a fair price with...

Average clean eatery. Pricey buffet if you don't like lamb. The layout is a little ackward, but most buffets I think are. The floor is a very smooth shiny tile, it looks like it could get very slippery, so be very cautious if it is a busy day. You can order one "lamb shank" and you can help yourself to a variety of foods including rice, salads, yogurt, lamb, chicken and ground beef skewers. There is a selection of fountain soda, tea, water, lemonade and water. The rice was regular rice, not the long grain rice. I did not see any beef skewers. The chicken skewers were okay though. The lamb was what I expected where you basically taste the barn, but I have never been a fan of lamb. I always try lamb, because I have been told I have not had a properly prepared. If you stick to just the buffet it seems a little pricey, because it is subpar. I paid about $132 for 4 persons and they asked for a tip. If you order the lamb shank, it is relatively cheap, because it is hot off the grill. This is the first buffet where a tip was requested, but I don't think they expect you pay it, as there are not servers. The buffet food was okay, but mostly cold or luke warm which is not too my liking. The flavoring was one dimensional, if you are just looking to stuff yourself, it is not an issue, but I like food to have depth. You need acidity, salt, and spice. The humus was disappointing, very bland, I did not taste any garlic, or lemon, or sesame seed. I have no plans to return, because I don't like lamb. If there was like a beef skewer in lieu of the lamb shank I would be inclined to at least give it...
