Chickpeas Mediterranean Restaurant — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Actual Rating 2.4⭐️ (I cannot put my actual rating in google so I round up so that it’s not mean)

This is a 1st time visit and the review is strictly for the lunch buffet on a Saturday. Although there were other patrons it didn’t seem that busy for a weekend lunch.

Atmosphere: 2.5⭐️ The place isn’t anything spectacular. It seems a little cramped inside. I think the types of chairs, although nice looking and comfortable, take up a lot of room. Apparently some years ago this restaurant was visited by Guy Fieri for his Show. On a few TV’s they had their section of his show on loop along with a local newscast saying their restaurant was visited by Guy Fieri. I’m already in your restaurant. I don’t need them to brag about something that happened years ago. I don’t like Guy Fieri, especially on loop while eating lunch.

Cleanliness: 4⭐️ Everything seemed rather clean. The tables were bused rather quickly and when people left they were also cleaned quickly. The buffet line was also kept clean. I didn’t not use the restroom to see how clean that was.

Service: 3⭐️ Since it was a buffet there really wasn’t much interaction with the staff but they seemed rather friendly.

Food Quality and taste: 2⭐️ maybe it’s just me but nothing on the buffet line was great. It was just ok. I’ve been to other Mediterranean restaurant where the food stands out. There were a couple of Indian dishes that seemed out of place. One key to great Mediterranean food is the pita bread. They had the pita bread in a chafing dish on the buffet line. By the time we were eating it was as hard as cracker. Not edible. My friend went and asked an employee if we could get some fresh pita bread and he said they were out (if you’re out of something, run to your nearest grocery store and get whatever you need). But my friend went and asked the cashier and she said she’ll get us some. When the new bread came it was definitely rationed but not really good pita bread at all. Also, to me, it seems like everything had a touch too much of whatever spice they used for that dish. The baba ganoush was good.

Price/value: 1⭐️ Since my friend picked this place he told me it was $20 for the buffet. And I looked online, and that was verified. When we arrive they have a “weekend price” of $27 including tax. My ex favorite sushi restaurant does this. It is for no reason that benefits me nor probably most patrons that come into dine. Just a way to get a bit more money out of you. If the food was great I might justify spending $27 for a lunch. So the value isn’t there at all.

Summary: Overall my experience was more “meh” than good or bad. Will I come back? Most likely not. But not because of a bad experience. There’s just a lot of other...

I have been ordering my food for delivery from this location and I have always been satisfied with overall food and service from this location. I love Mediterranean food! This time I decided to try their buffet food because I saw it on TikTok posted by Steve Cha and it was such a great experience so no doubt whether you decide to dine or have it delivered you can't go wrong. I brought my family here mainly to celebrate early Father's Day. My brother loved it and the food was quality as if you ate at the strip. I ate all my favorite dishes such as koobideh, lamb, shrimp, rice, grilled veggies, tabouli, Greek yogurt, baklava and a piece of carrot cake. I was so full I wasn't able to get seconds but you can eat as much as you can if you want. It was definitely a G-R-E-A-T experience for me and I plan to come back again and hopefully bring my entire family here.

The ambiance isn't the greatest but it's very clean. Don't get me wrong the dining area is almost like a cantina style but they kept cleaning throughout while we were there and when people started arriving and departing. This place gets packed so if you're thinking of getting a place to sit you'd better arrive early. They open at 9am. We came on perfect timing cos it wasn't packed yet. The buffet price we paid on Saturday is $19 per person which isn't bad at all compared to eating at the strip which you'll pay no less than $60 per head during lunch time. Come check out this place. All the staff are very nice/friendly and welcoming. I have no pictures to post of what I got on my plate cos I was so hungry and forgot about it but I can't forget my experience. This place is definitely a MUST VISIT. This place is only 2 miles from the strip between Flamingo and Jones.

THANK YOU CHICKPEAS MEDITERRANEAN for a wonderful...

Chickpea Mediterranean Restaurant catered our ENTIRE WEDDING menu and our guests LOVED it!

My husband and I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the owner Shahin and his wonderful staff!

We recently had our wedding and searched for many halal Mediterranean restaurants that offered what we were looking for. When we found Chickpea, we were beyond happy and grateful because they were halal and had great reviews! I spoke with a member of the staff who connected us to the owner, Shahin, about our wedding and catering the entire menu. He was absolutely AMAZING! We scheduled a tasting menu and he offered a huge selection of delicious foods, sides and desserts. After reviewing our budget and the cost of the total for what we wanted, the price was amazing and fit our budget! We ended up choosing it all due to the great prices he offered us. He even offered to provide the chafers although our venue came with them.

Our wedding was made complete and our family and special guests couldn’t stop talking about the food and how it was unique, delicious and made the night fuller. We served a delicious, halal Mediterranean spread with a variety of perfectly cooked and seasoned salmon, chicken breast, lamb over rice, shrimp skewers, mashed potatoes, fattoush salad alongside baba gannoush, hummus, and Tatziki as sides that came in these adorable 8oz cups topped with a pita chip and baklava bites!!!

Shahin and his staff went above and beyond and worked so well with the event coordinator on the setup for our big day. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone to cater their event from Chickpea Mediterranean Restaurant for any event big or small. We send a sincere thank you for making our big day more special with the care, time and effort...
