What a gem! We were pleasantly surprised today when we stopped by for lunch. Everything on the buffet was very fresh and very tasty; amazingly so and a pretty good value at $10 a head (all you can eat and drink). Lots of meat and veggie dishes to make everyone happy and the deserts are to not be missed. Often buffets sport greasy food or food lacking in quality. This is not the case at Dimassi's. The only time I have ever had Tabouli that fresh was when I made it myself. The Baba Ganoush was particularly good and the Baklava almost started a riot when it was running low. Good thing they are quick to refill all the dishes and everything was hot/fresh (did I mention I was very impressed by the freshness LOL). Very good selection on the meat dishes and we liked the pulled beef and the lamb plus a strong variety of vegetable dishes so that a vegan could eat here and never hunger again. The manager stopped by and chatted with us. He is a 40+ yr Austin resident and has had his hand in a couple of restaurants around town. Fortunately, they are looking to open a south location soon and that will be awesome! This is an excellent venue for big groups as it is a huge restaurant and sports several big round tables. We will be going back and taking clients with us.
Pros: lots of light, huge dinning area, fresh food
Cons: Location... too far north but worth the drive for us south austin folks
