Chickpeas Mediterranean Restaurant

🌟 Amazing Experience — A Hidden Gem in Vegas! This place is absolutely incredible both the buffet and the takeaway options are top-notch. The quality and taste of the food are way above expectations, especially considering how affordable the prices are. It honestly feels like you’re getting luxury-level food for a fraction of the cost. The staff are polite, respectful, and genuinely welcoming they make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. That kind of hospitality makes a huge difference. If you're in Vegas, you have to try this place. Trust me once you do, it’ll become a must-visit every time you’re in town!

If you like my comment please click on the ❤️ and show some love 😘 Small clean spot. Very delicious food, very, very. Great price, very nice servers. Pretty good options for a small Buffet. I was really thinking this was gonna be a regular spot. But that was not the case, I will most definitely be returning back to this restaurant. Yeah some things are dry because you either got there after the rush or it's been there, but it's always good to let them know you like a fresh item Yes, most definitely I recommend this spot to anyone. Don't forget to to follow & read my previous reviews. Thank you+

4 stars for value while the food did not really wow me especially the seafood. For about $20 it certainly was cheap enough for AYCE on most food except Lamb shank was one per customer which was huge enough and 2 kinds of desserts were sufficient. Free mint water, lemonade, tea and coffee. Overall service was good. The seafood (salmon was very dry, shrimp kinda tasted stale) I would pass. The meat choices were several and filling. The salads were not bad.

Outstanding selection, really good flavors, and the staff are wonderful. I showed up at 3:30 (not an ideal time for a buffet) and their staff made sure I had fresh pitas and replenished entrees. Kabobs were impeccable. The lamb shank was tender and delicious, and the salad choices were really delicious.

We were visiting Vegas from San Francisco and found this place on Yelp. We are at chickpeas 2 days on a row and we're blown away by the quantity and the quality of the good they offered. Everything from soups to salads and appetizers, lamb shank, kabobs, chicken dishes. Desserts and coffee and teas included. Same buffet in San Francisco is easily $40 to $50. We already recommended Chickpeas to some of our friends who visit Las Vegas. Open one up in San Francisco!

This restaurant offers a well regarded all-you-can-eat buffet featuring Mediterranean & Indian dishes, just three miles from the Las Vegas Strip, the restaurant is known for its diverse menu and welcoming atmosphere. The buffet includes a variety of dishes such as lamb soltani, tabbouleh, mazza plates, and salads. The food is fresh and delicious. It’s very good for the price.

TikTok had me fooled with this one. While on vacation in Las Vegas, I made it a point to try this restaurant after seeing it hyped online. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the expectations. The space felt cramped and uncomfortable, the Mediterranean food lacked the flavor and authenticity I’m used to—perhaps due to my heritage and a more discerning taste for this cuisine. I’m not trying to be overly critical; to be fair, other diners around me seemed to enjoy their meals. But for me, it just didn’t hit the mark.

We were in Las Vegas from Vancouver Canada for Xmas 2024 and decided to visit this place and we were so pleasantly surprised with the variety of the food they have. the quality and the taste was just fantastic. as for the price is worth every dollar. after the first visit we had to go back a few more times in the 2 weeks that we were in Vegas. if you have not tried this place so far you should try it. the beef and chicken kababs were just delicious. the have dips and salads and grilled tomatoes and vegies. everything was so tasty. we can not wait to go back again on our next trip.

Best bang for the buck. Hands down a must stop when visiting Las Vegas. Buffet was an excellent choice with a lot of variety. For under $20.

A taste of fresh food at respectable prices. I have enjoyed there food presentations every time I have visited. Please support this family own business and tell a friend. Let them know they are appreciated buy visiting one of there locations in the las vegas area. They also do some great catering for small and large groups. Thank you. Poop p

Great place! I absolutely love Mediterranean food, so when I saw that there was a Mediterranean buffet, I just had to give them a visit. So, this is a small, quaint restaurant in a shopping plaza. When you walk in, it's got this "grandma's house" vibe going on and the lady in charge made us feel like we were her grandkids. I loved it! You first pay at the register, then you can get as much food as you want. And boy oh boy, do they have a great variety of delicious Mediterranean options. There were some things we loved more than others, but nothing was bad at all. Very flavorful! Well worth the price, and the food is great!

Food -0 Service - non-existent Ambiance- gross They advertise 30 items which they do not have Food is all cold Over flavored over spiced Was not worth it Diners, drivers and dives Is a paid production They don't do it for free you pay them to be advertised on that channel They must've paid a lot because this place is disgusting

I decided to visit this restaurant after seeing a video on social media, attracted by the affordable buffet price. Unfortunately, my experience was mixed. Firstly, the highlight was undeniably the price of the buffet, which was very reasonable. However, my disappointment began with the food itself, as many items on the buffet were served cold. This raised concerns for me about food safety, as proper temperature control is crucial in food service to prevent health risks. I found the interior design funny. They used various types of tiles that are not match with each other. It almost felt like they had bought whatever was available in a clearance sale and made it work.

Great food quality for a Dollar Tree price. Very affordable for a buffet. $18 Mon-Thurs and $19 on weekends. Plenty of items to choose from. All of the food items are packed with flavors. I love the cucumber salad, lamb shank, butter chicken, seasoned rice dolma and Mediterranean rice. The wait staff are very courteous and friendly. The place is kind of small, but very clean. The reason I only gave 4-star rating was the food temperature for the hot items was not up to my standard. Would I come back here and bring friends? Absolutely!

As I read all the other reviews I got more excited about this place. It did not disappoint at all!! I loved everything about this place. The food flavors are out of this world. The lamb shank was above and beyond my favorite item off the menus. With some rice and the fresh breads they serve. The servers were super helpful with telling my wife and I what was in each offering g. Finding out once I got there that it was on diners drive in and dives was just an added bonus. We will be back here for sure!!! Worth the trip in every way.

Okay here's my opinion. It's okay It's not terrible and it's not great. Serving wheat pita bread is disgusting. The Lamb shank is by far the best thing here. The kabobs on the buffet are okay The meatball things are really good The chicken It's all right. If you're a vegetarian this would be a good place for you. We've tried it once. But we won't be going back.

Finally got to visit the only Mediterranean buffet in all of Las Vegas! Approved by UNLV grad too, the ever popular Mr. Guy Fieri of Triple D fame! Wifey & I went for the weekend buffet at Chickpeas for $19 a person. For over 30 items to try on the line it was worth the entry fee! Such a spread! We tried about everything we could fit on our plates! A tasting of what we sampled: -Lamb Shank (1 per person, but is a must try!) -Beef Kafta -Tandoori Chicken -Beef Lasagna -Ground Beef Kabob -Ground Lamb Kabob -Ground Chicken Kabob -Butter Chicken -Basmati & Mediterranean Rice -Cucumber & Shirazi Salad -Tzatziki & Tabouli Salad -Dolmah -Hummus & Baba Ganoush -Russian Potato Salad Lots of fresh made salad items! I love the colorful plates you can create! Word to the wise though - be sure you try to come at the beginning times of the buffet so you can get the freshest items to eat! The foods taste much more vibrant when they are fresh off the grill\oven and the salads are fresh out of the cooler! I don't really eat lamb but the lamb shank was definitely the star of the buffet line! It was flavorful, fall of the bone tender, not too lamb-y, and paired very well with a bite of rice & a side of tzatziki to cut down on the richness. Enjoyed it! I much liked their kabobs as well, and the kafta. They all go great on a plate with rice and any combination of their salads! Wifey & I ate to our heart's content! We had an excellent time for lunch! No Guy Fieri on the premises when we visited but I was sure to take a pic of his portrait hanging in the restaurant LOL! One of these days I'll bump into him! We'll be back to visit Chickpeas again for the buffet spread for sure! Opa!

The restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes, but unfortunately, the quality fell short of expectations. One of the most concerning issues was the temperature of the food. Many items on the buffet, including the lamb shank that was refilled in front of us, were not adequately hot. This suggests that the food had been sitting out for a considerable amount of time, which is not only disappointing but also a health concern. Another inconvenience was the dessert section. Instead of having desserts readily available for self-service as expected in buffet dining, we had to request desserts from the staff. This arrangement felt cumbersome and disrupted the flow of the meal. While the variety of dishes was decent and the flavors were okay, the overall experience was overshadowed by the issue of food temperature. Enjoying a meal is difficult when the food is not served hot and fresh.

This is the first time I'm trying Mediterranean food, and this place is not what I've expected. It has a buffet area so I basically tried whatever the staff recommended for me to try, and each one was very good. Because the restaurant feature lamb, every bite I sank my teeth into has its flavor and texture. If I have to be honest, I didn't knew that hummus was a Mediterranean dish. Yet again, the impressions do leave me with a lot of taste of the foods. Now I will say the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit dated, but you wouldn't judge the place for its good food. There's a reason why the quality has to match its price. To add extra points, Guy Fieri made his approval for this restaurant, and I can tell why. That said, I would highly recommend trying this place if you're looking for good Mediterranean food.

For an AYCE Mediterranean buffet, it's a great find way off the strip. For $20 all day price, it's a deal. There's three kinds of rice: basmati, Mediterranean and baghali polo dillweed/lima rice. The baghali rice is not for everyone. The butter chicken was my favorite. Smother the rice with it! The red tandoori chicken drumstick was juicy delish. The ground chicken kabob was good. The ground beef kabob not so much. It was dry. The spinach & feta pie was good. The turkey roll up phyllo dough was dry. The grilled shrimp and grilled salmon were alright. The chicken shawarma was dry. Didn't care for the meatball. I wanted to try the lamb shank, but it was enormous. So I'll have to try it first thing the next time I come here again. Overall, the dried items might've been left out for awhile and the items I liked must've been freshly made. So maybe it's the luck of the draw. Perhaps next time, I should wait for the cook to bring out the fresh made items. That would be the ticket!

Was on triple D and also went viral. Only Mediterranean buffet in Las Vegas that I know of. The price was amazing under $20 for beef, chicken and lamb shank in the buffet. The food was flavorful and for the price if I lived here would go once a week. The ground chicken kabob was the best super tasty. Their taziki the yogurt dipping sauce was the best I ever had, super flavorful went well with the meats. They also had grilled vegetables that was delicious. It's a small restaurant and they do offer few desserts which I didn't try. I didn't see any bread like I saw on the videos but maybe you have to ask. Parking is easy and tons and tons of open space. For under $20 I honestly don't think you can beat it. Is there a huge selection no but what they put out is delicious.

Some of the best Mediterranean food in Vegas! Everything is so fresh and has so much flavor! The buffet is always very clean and the environment is so welcoming. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner or even to cater.

Small spot. Very good food for the price. The only problem I had when I visited was that it was hot and stuffy. Not sure if the AC was down or what.

I have a love/hate relationship with this restaurant. There was only 2 items in the menu which was beyond level good (the chicken and beef kabobs). Easily a 10/10 for the kabobs. However everything else in the menu from the lamb shanks, shrimp, salads and desserts was extremely bland. The customer service was okay. The kabobs 10/10 were so good that it might be worth coming back to even though everything food item was like a 3/10 rating. Overall: Meh Verdict: might possibly return Tips: get there early, they run out of lamb shanks within the first half hour. It's okay since the lamb shank was like a 6/10.

This is my 4th time eating here and I gotta say I love this place! A variety of gourmet delicious mediterranean/Middle Eastern food for a very reasonable price. The staff is very friendly & professional. The place is cozy & very clean. And the food is simply amazing for every taste! Without a doubt the best deal in town! What are you waiting for?

It's a wonderful buffet at a very reasonable price. I particularly liked the chicken kebab and the roasted tomatoes. There is a lot on this buffet, though that I didn't try. My fiancé was definitely impressed with this food and the value.

Excellent food fired up right in front of you, tons of food options from lamb to chicken. I can't believe how inexpensive this place is, a hidden gem in Las Vegas!

Great Mediterranean food. I had the gyros sandwich and a falafel sandwich. Really fine quality chow!

I placed an order from Chickpeas Mediterranean Cafe and was rather impressed with the quality and quantity for the price. I ordered three items, the chicken shawarma bowl, Caribbean grilled salmon kabobs, and an almond croissant. The chicken shawarma bowl came with rice and a salad. The flavors were delicious, and the serving was generous. I did enjoy the side salads, they were colorful and fresh, with lots of ripe sliced tomatoes. The Caribbean grilled salmon kabobs were served with basatmi rice, and a side salad. This was an interesting twist for a Mediterranean restaurant to offer a Caribbean island flavored dish, and it was pretty good. The flavors that were promised with this dish didn't pop as I thought they would, but it still was decent. The salmon was not dry, and there was a good amount of fish on the kebab. I also ordered the almond croissant, which was surprisingly huge in size. It was rather good and I am sure it could feed 2-3 people! The packaging in the takeaway containers was neat and secure, and they did not skimp on the serving size. Chickpeas is definitely a place I would order from again.

Great food great service and lots of choices some are revamped love the dessert choices honey sweets ;)' Wish the air con works well ;(' since it can be a tad warm inside especially while eating on a summery heat at 100F temp outside

1st time trying this place and good lord it did not disappoint us.. lamb shank was off the bone.. nice staff offering some pita bread too. Buffet was simple but awesome $18 . Thanks again will be back

There was a bit of a wait for the food but it was worth it. They also didn't have Baba Ganoush so they had to change it to Tatziki. They're good at communicating with their customers though. Everything tasted delicious. The salad had fresh veggies and they were generous with the cheese. It didn't have a lot of chicken but it was good. The ground kabob wrap was really good- warm and soft wrap plus the perfectly cooked and seasoned kabob. I definitely enjoyed it although I wished it was a bit bigger. It's a casual place with attentive staff. Plenty of parking space in the shopping center where it is located.

Food was terrible. I got the buffet. Meat tasted weird, chicken and beef. Not sure how this got on DDD, but fieri is losing his touch. Guy at the register was very pleasant

If you're looking for a fancy sit-down restaurant, this is not for you...but if you want good food, this is the place... hubby and I have tried different Mediterranean restaurants, we went as far as Glendale to try Raffy's and I must say that this is way better... Everything is so flavorful, from the meat to the salads. Owner didn't skip a beat either...he asked several times how we're doing and even offered pita bread which seemed nothing but that speaks a lot about their hospitality .

Great selection of dishes & Friendly staff. The food was fresh and tasty. I went 3 times on different times of the day and the buffet line was freshly replenished.

Another nice mini mall find. This place has a good variety of Mediterranean food on their buffet, which is only $19 on the weekend and $18 during the week. I nearly tried everything, and almost everything was good. The lamb shanks were very good. They have great homemade pita bread, and a toaster to warm it up. Only a few little hiccups, like some of the shrimp was left in the bin a little bit too long. They only have sodas in cans, bottled tea and bottled water. They did have a water fountain inside, but no soda fountain. There are about 9 or 10 tables inside, most of them two seaters. I did see some outdoor seating accommodations, but it wasn't being used while we were there, as it was very cold outside. Their desserts are excellent, especially the baklava. I was happy and delighted to find this nice little place. We will definitely be back.

The food was great and authentic. What they serve is mostly Mediterranean comfort food. Beautifully flavored and very appetizing. The staff are very friendly. And for the price you pay for all the wonderful food, what's not to love.

This restaurant is wonderful and cozy. Excellent prompt customer service. Feeling guilty paying so little for so much great food and in variety. Each dish stands on its own. Kebabs are tender and tasty. Never been a fan of ground chicken kabob until now. Hardly rate a restaurant 5 stars and it's well deserved.

outstanding variety and customer service !! the waiters frequently checked on me and served me pita bread. as someone who doesn't eat red meat, they have a ton of chicken options, from butter chicken, to chicken pakora, and chicken kabobs. veggies, salads, and fruit tasted and looked freshly cut and prepared. they have a small selection of desserts tho, such as rice pudding and slices of cake. restaurant itself was smaller than i expected but it doesn't take away from the hospitality i was provided. i will come back again :) thank you

After a long day at the pool the last thing I wanted to do was cook so my mother in law and I opted for some Greek. We did not go down to the restaurant, but thanks to Grubhub we were able to quickly order. I decided on the chicken bowl with rice. I love the size of the portions for these bowls. They are HUGE and definitely well worth the price. The chicken was seasoned perfect and I loved all the fresh veggies that came with. The bowl also came with kind of an oil dressing for the veggies and some tziziki sauce. The pickled onions were a great touch as well. This will definitely be in our circle of foods we ordered. So yummy!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed the food so much!! And the owner is so kind, he personally checked on every single customer. Thank you we wish we had you in Albuquerque!!

Been seeing this place for a while now and I've always been a fan of Mediterranean food. I decided to eat here with my brother... and was not disappointed! * Food - there were enough choices to choose from! Tasted authentic and well-presented. * Staff - awesome people! They were very friendly and tended to all our needs. * Place and location - it was easy to find the place. The establishment itself had just the right size and was clean. Ventilation was good, didn't notice any issues. * Price - the price was unbeatable! You definitely get your money's worth! Under 20$ a person? Yes, please! Overall, I would definitely come back! I would also highly recommend it to others! A+++

The food is very good I had two plates. The staff is very friendly I would recommend the buffet. My favorite was the fish and grape leaves it was spicy but so good.

A pleasant surprise. We were pointed to buffet for $18 (weekday) and that turned out to be a bargain. The owner was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. And the food was delicious. The 4 star is only due to marginal ambience with limited seating area and lacking decoration. But if one just wants great Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price, one needs to look no further than here.

The buffet is great for the price. I would suggest going when they first put out the buffet for freshness. The owner is a very nice guy and will bring you things if you ask him. Cute little cozy restaurant that maybe about 40 people can eat comfortably. I'll be back again.

Food Not So Good For The $$$ Even The Dessert Not Good Save Your Money Very Unfortunate That People Are Seeing This On Food Network Very Run Down Save Your Money Just Another Vegas Crap Hole

I went with my business partner and had an amazing experience. You cannot beat roughly $20 for all you can eat mediterranean food. There were plenty of options of any diet. I specifically recommend the lamb shank, spinach and feta cheese wraps. Service was quick and with a smile. The restaurant was clean and located in a great location.

I've been wanting to go here for years even before Guy Fieri came here.... I used to do uber eats and would pick up here often the food always smelled so good... I finally went today and I was slightly disappointed... we walked in, we weren't greeted even though it wasnt busy. My friend and I were confused because at first we didn't see the menus but only a buffet. We stood there confused not sure if to sit or not... I thought possibly they changed it to buffet style... I saw a barcode on the table I thought that might be the menu but that was a qr code for yelp... we sat down and saw 4 tvs on the back wall that were the menus... we got up again to look at the menus and honestly it was super awkward because people were seated and eating right infront of the tv monitors i felt like i was invading their space. We ordered a chicken bowl and lamb bowl and 2 Arizona teas... my total was $49 but since I was using a debit card, they tacked on a fee, and my total came out to $60!!! I was floored... I appreciate the food is made to order and basically cooked fresh in front of you, so full warning, you're gonna be waiting at least 20 minutes... the food itself was delicious... they were definitely skimpy on the dressings. The portion cups weren't even half full, and I was kinda bummed for the money I spent there was no pita or Naan bread served on the side. Would I go here again? Maybe... but I definitely won't be a regular... the food is delicious but its over hyped and overpriced. If you decide to dine here definitely bring cash and I suggest get the buffet, it's cheaper in the long run but I can't do buffets because it's a waste of money for me due to my bariatric surgery and I can't eat very much... UPDATE: As I'm sure you can see the owner did reach out... and I wish I could reply to him I hope he sees this. Thank you for being an honest business owner and man. You could have ignored my comment and kept the extra money but you didn't and I appreciate that beyond words... I will definitely be back now to support you and your business and I gave a higher rating

FANTASTIC LUNCH BUFFET terrific selection, ALL FRESHLY MADE , excellent price mon - Fri ( weekday buffet ) $18 ! plenty of parking , clean seating , very spacious !

This is definitely not legit or authentic Mediterranean food and it was so disappointing to have seen it on social media thinking it was going to be legit when it isn't. First of all the place is so small and not able to comfortably fit guests when it's a buffet style. People were caught up waiting in the food line just trying to check in to pay. The food was room temperature despite it being before 12 pm and although presentation of the food was decent, the actual taste of the food needs MAJOR improvement. Butter chicken was lukewarm and watered down, salads did not taste freshly made or at least have been sitting out for awhile, beef tasted full of fat, shrimps were overcooked, and dessert wasn't unique or homemade. I would definitely have gone to Merakis instead had I known it was going to turn out like this. They heated up the naan with a toaster instead of an oven? Bizarre. Definitely do not recommend this place for people wanting authentic Mediterranean food, this is NOT it.

if my boyfriend is in town, we are going to a buffet/AYCE. usually reviews are on point, but for this one i cannot agree. i've never had a buffet where i couldn't find one thing i liked. perhaps, i don't like mediterranean food. but usually i can find shrimp, fish, chicken, bread, or a salad i can enjoy. there was not one thing that was presented to me that i could actually eat. i had about 3 shrimps, and that is the most i ate here. their deserts were actually the only thing i could stomach. in total, i want to say we had 3 plates? i had one, & my boyfriend had 2. & we are not skinny people. we LOVE to eat, & we go to AYCE for a reason. super disappointed we paid $40 & some change bc i got a soda. we didn't even leave full. he's felt sick since we returned home & he has a flight tomorrow morning. BEYOND the food, the service was nice. the lady working the cash register was kind and helpful. SUPER!! awkward to walk in here. people are eating, & it's so small & quiet that once you walk in, you are the center of attention. TLDR; nothing good to eat. people are nice. not good for the socially anxious.

My friend Tim and I went here for lunch earlier today.While this is not the biggest restaurant in the world and the selection is also somewhat limited.just about everything I ate was pretty good.For only $20 after taxes,it is a TREMENDOUS value in this world of $15 hot dogs and $20 hamburgers.The owner Shahin is incredibly friendly and personable and welcomes everyone who enters and makes you feel like you are an honored guest in his home.I will have no problem recommending this place to my friends.I will come back again some day but I'm not sure when because I am a non driver and I live on the east side of town and if I can't find a friend with a car to take me here,I have to take the bus which is kind of a drag.Keep up the good work,Shahin.

This restaurant is ok for the food, if you go dine in is ok but when you order delivery you have to be careful. I ordered 13 individual order today with utensil, but they did not pack any of it, so I had to run to the near store to get it. Also, they were supposed to put salad for each order, but they put in one big box without any tools to share it. You guys should be careful when you do service.

Chickpeas Mediterranean Cafe 4255 S Durango Dr Ste 110, Las Vegas NV 89147 June 14, 2023 Wednesday - 12:15 PM for lunch 2 Adults Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Vacation has started. We just drove in from PHX. We love hitting up the TV series Diners, Drive-In and Dives restaurants. This was a planned stopped after recently watching the episode they were featured on. Atmosphere - On a busy intersection located in a large strip mall. Getting to the cashier and reading the menu is a little awkward. The path to them is not easy with the tables. It was not to bad for us as were the only ones there. It did fill in while we were eating. Food - We could not decide. First off everything on the show looked amazing. We went with the Small Family Platter (2 - 3 people). Yeah more like 3 to 4. Way too much food for lunch for us, but it was a great variety and worth. My wife could have eaten just the hummus and pita bread and would have been happy. Take the cucumbers out of your salad to try the hummus. Out of this world. Then the kabobs come, amazing!! Next time for dinner with friends to we can get a bigger sampler. Service - The staff was great from the time we ordered, to delivering food. The owner even stopped by to check in on us. Future - Yes, just for the hummus. In reviewing my pics I see that they have 4 types. Do not tell my wife, or I will be driving to Vegas now.

Everything is Fuego 100% I'll be back weekly! It's very small, but casual intimate, friendly service excellent food options and the baklava and desserts are fantastic

This place is a gem. Plenty of parking. Great food. All you can eat buffet for $20. Lamb shank is to die for. Seafood galore. Mediterranean salads are delicious. Highly recommend.

Saw this on triple D.... not as great as they make it out to be. Buffet style, but limited on the lamb..1 per person. Not too much variety. Mostly salads, and different types of rice. Meats were mostly empty. Lamb was not the greatest. Not worth the price I paid.

i've been to this multiple times.. i always get me some shawarma and baklava... the meat is always well seasoned and cooked well, greek salad and sauce are always on point... service is pretty fast they can get pretty busy as any other resto... call ahead or order online... so far i never had issue with any my visit, food has always been great... place is clean and thy also have an outdoor sitting which is nice. this is place is nice go to for lunch, i used to work nearby this place so i love going here...
