It’s wonderful to have a melting pot of variety on Central Avenue — while I’m not personally a fan of Mediterranean food, they serve up a generous variety of Mediterranean and American-inspired food in their four-station buffet. For the most part everything was well-prepared and reasonably fresh-tasting. But with some things — their chicken wings, mussels, falafels, and a few select other items, I found them to be terribly dry and unappealing, especially mussels in particular. But generally speaking, the food was tasty and reminded me of some of the Greek and Arabic food that I had at a couple decisively ethnic churches. The flavors and dishes were consistent with those experiences. It was slightly awkward though walking in — no one greeted me or welcomed me, like you might expect with most restaurants. Additionally, there’s this unspoken thing that you just go up and serve yourself — beverage included. As a first-timer here, there was no real social guidance or invitation — “please, go fix yourself a plate ...the beverages are over there, help yourself.” So I found my first time here a bit awkward because I was unaware of their particular buffet etiquette. Also, for what it’s worth, their interior looks worn and run down in spots — the wall next to the table I sat at had several layers of paint coming off and other areas of the wall were pretty dirty. But in all, it was a decent experience and the food was good. I wish them all the best and great success in the future.

This place has amazing food! They serve home made quality ethnic food. Most importantly, you are not going to have a belly ache after eating their food. Their food is cooked from scratch, it’s delicious, flavorful, and authentic. You will find that this buffet is frequented by Arabic, Somali, Russian, American, Middle Eastern and African customers. People come here with their entire families, food is that good and affordable. Children can eat for $10. That’s an amazing value in today’s economy. Their chicken drumsticks and chicken thighs are so good, if you had them once, you will be craving to comeback to this buffet just for them. They serve hot soups, minimum of 3 different kinds of soups, including vegetarian options. They serve good bold hot tea, I am a tea drinker and can appreciate a good cup of bold hot tea especially with freshly baked baklava. When you come to this buffet, you don’t need to wait to be seated, you find an empty table on your own, claim it for yourself and go plate your food. You pay at the exit.

They overcharged me !!!you guys be careful out there! But foods are delicious, really appreciate chefs’ hard work!!! . -They have good foods, but they have awful service. (they charged me over $120. including tax and everything for two adults and five kids.My last kid is not even 2 years old.(so they should have charged me for 2 adults and 4 kids, +take away for $6.49but it doesn’t seem like that ) now you guys do the math by your own. I’m gonna add there price chart photo on their wall and my e-receipt , And we went there for dinner and it was not holiday visit , now you guys do your own math again , and you’ll understand the reason why I’m texting this here.! And, to the supervisor or boss, whoever manages and reads my review, please put the right guy on your cashier front desk! I came home and did recalculation and understood that I was overcharged It is okay for me, but it might not be okay for other people. But to be honest, foods are very nice. We loved foods . (….p/s, or if I’m wrong, please fix me) Thanks

If you want to try a different buffett, this is the place to come. Mediterránean buffet with a huge selection of food and with a great variety of options. I was amaze with the selections, including desserts, ice cream and salads. Not the typical or tradtional asian buffett, great culinary experience.
