Amazingly refreshing buffet from all over middle east!The best thing about this restaurant is that the quality of all foods in the buffet is home made quality not restaurant quality! You feel like you have been invited to the home of the most welcoming host who put their heart and love in their food for their guest.The 2nd great thing about this place is they are not afraid of putting multiple artistically made dishes of lamb and "good" non-starchy vegetables like cauliflower and eggplant! They even have fresh herbs like green onion, radishes, basil, mint on the buffet which make it super healthy.The 3rd great thing about this place is not about what they do but more importantly about what they don't do!Many low quality buffets only create a facade of variety while almost all of their meat dishes are nothing but chicken soaked in dozen different colors and sauces presented as dozen different dishes! But here in Al Hamra variety is real!I have seen many Indian buffets that tell you they have vegetarian dishes but then you see they count starch (rice and potato) as vegetables!Not here in Al Hamra, they have starch and potato too but they also have non-starchy vegetables!I have seen many low quality middle eastern buffets that if you ask them "Do you have lamb", they respond "Yes, we have gyro which is a mix of beef and lamb"!Gyro is like the biggest fake invented in the restaurant industry and I cant say enough how much I appreciate that in Al Hamra they dont have any gyro at all!In here lamb is really lamb, pure and simple, no BS about so called mix of lamb in gyro that may at best have some 10% lamb!To conclude, this place is run by decent honest warm welcoming genuine people and couple of ladies who are clearly passionate about what they do as seen in their product quality.
I was blown away with how great the food was. I felt welcomed, the food had a lot of variety. I did not know what some of the foods were, but I ate them and just simply incredible. The sweets were not overpowering and left a pleasant feeling at the end instead of the typical sugar overload most deserts in the US have. I will come back. Highly recommend
My wife and I ate ate here after a friend posted to FB. They opened the doors early and started serving 30 minutes early when they found out Google maps open time was wrong for Sundays. The lady behind the counter was SUPER NICE and walked us through each dish and what was in it. The food was delicious and my wife's only complaint was she couldn't eat any more. The flavors were relevant but not over powering to each dish. And either before or after eating, check out the market connected next door. I am so glad they bring such a tasty extravaganza to the normal basic restaurant and market scene. I spoke to whom I believe was an owner just before we left. Super nice and very great full we came in to eat at the establishment. I strongly recommend this place.
Perfect food ?
I loved it, great place.
It's okay place
Best mediterranean food.
When I go out of my home to eat, I go to eat! The food is fantastic it’s like being overseas, the store is a wonderful & perfect place to get your Arab necessity cooking things, incense, things for holiday seasons. Anyway I recommend both the buffet and the kabob section in store when the buffet is unavailable. (Next door) Truly love this food. I have recommended to friends ...... Shelley
The lady at the counter is always awesome
Nice service, good food and the environment ??Definitely Worth trying
