We decided to drive through Ventura Blvd and just pick whatever sounds good and fast. Then we saw a $9.95 Buffet at this place called Mirage.

We parked right away and went inside for some Mediterranean food. This place is actually a Lebanese Cuisine.

You start off at the Appetizer area where you can get your Baba Gjhanouj, Mousakaa, Makdous, Hummus and Soup etc.

All the Cold Appetizers

Then the meat section, fish, falafel, Kebbeh , Lulah kabobs( I think they call them Shish Kafta here) etc.

Different plate, but still mine


Went back for Seconds :)

So there it is, quick, fullfilling and decently priced for a lunch buffet. I need to check this place out for dinner to see what their Lamb chops would be like. They also have a stage area for DJs, Arabian performances (this usually sounds like Belly Dancers, ooo Yumm)etc, usually Thursday to Saturday it would vary. Just check w/ them for more information.

This darn thing is huge and delicious; you would have to call it in before you arrive. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare because they grill it and bake it. This includes the rice paper, some rice noodles and 2 sauces with all the fixins.
