I really want to support local spots, so I'm bummed this was my experience. When I arrived, two customers who had already paid ended up leaving without their food because the wait was so long, which wasn't a great sign. I waited about 45 minutes for a plate with roasted chicken thighs, rice, salad, and hummus with pita. Which I would normally think would be super quick to plate and get out. Unfortunately, the chicken was extremely over-salted (I had to remove the skin), the rice was mushy, the salad had no dressing, and the hummus had a very odd, overly smooth texture that was off-putting. I ate one piece of chicken and couldn't finish the rest. I hate writing negative reviews, especially for local businesses, but the wait just wasn't worth it. read more

Wow the service and food were AMAZING! I had the gyro plate and it was so good! The flavor and the portion was great as well as the sauce but you know it's good when the sauce isn't needed for it to taste amazing. Definitely will recommend this place and will be coming back. Thank you! read more

King Grill - Gyro plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

The young lady who is working in the restaurant side makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. (Teresa I believe is her name and I apologize if I misspelled) The restaurant and supermarket and kitchen (all attached by a hallway) are CLEAN clean. The dining room is well maintained & cared for. Now to the good part....the FOOD!!! Everything is Halal. The curry chicken is the best I have ever had. The Greek salad was fresh and amazing. You just know every ingredient is put on the plate with LOVE and care by a TRUE cook. Chef's kiss to the chef. I am in Las Cruces for two days and I want to eat here every single meal and then some while I'm Here. If you are local and for whatever reason this is not on your radar- you are cheating yourself out of amazing food that will support you in so many ways...delicious, clean, a great value, cooked with love...dot. Dot. Dot.... read more

King Grill has always been great but they have improved upon their regular goodness. The gyro meat, dolmas, hummus and grilled chicken are over the top now. This right here is heaven on a plate. I am going into a food coma. Great job guys. My complement to the chef. You rock! read more

King Grill - So good. That chicken and rice is some of the best in town and the dolmas and hummus are also fantastic. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

The place was empty save for us. They have a good selection of beverages (non alcoholic). I wish they sliced their gyro meat thicker. And why no pita with the platters? I ordered a gyro platter but was not given any pita. Maybe that's extra $$? Overall, good food and service. read more

We placed a take out order of food to feed about 8 people. We ordered via DoorDash and it took the restaurant more than 90 to get all the food cooked and ready, which was annoying. The food was delicious - lamb chops, dolmas and chicken quarters were my faves. Only critique besides the long wait time is that they give way too much rice with the food. We were visiting from out of town and traveling home the next morning, so we ended up throwing away a full tray of rice and a good amount of salad. read more

Will definitely go back for the hummus and falafel. Dining room was a bit bland, so grabbed the veggie combo to go and headed to a nearby park. There is also a market next door with quite an assortment of items. read more

I moved to Las Cruces from Seattle, WA in Sept of 2022 after nearly dying due to a faulty heart valve that I was born with. During my month long stay in ICU in Seattle, I told myself that if I made it and my prosthetic valve worked, then I was going to find a place and eat an authentic Gyro. After arriving in L.C, I found Tiffany's on Telshor and it was absolutely great. It was one of the best Gyros I have ever eaten. Then I tried Santorini on University and it was AWFUL. And, finally after Tiffany's closed, I decided to give King Grill a try. I had passed it several times and was curious and read the reviews which gave me hope. And now I have tried it. I don't know if the people that reviewed Kind Grill were on something or not, but I have to say...my experience is nothing like the reviews. First and foremost - real gyro meat is sliced from a spit.....not taken out of the freezer of refrigerator in a bag and warmed up. The meat is awful. It comes from a bag. The tzatziki sauce is not good. The pita bread...not good. The "Greek salad?" there was not even enough of it to keep a rabbit alive. Altogether? I've never visited this place in person and I probably never will. All I can say is........someone please convince Tiffany's to re-open because we need some real Greek food in this town. Please, please, please. read more

King Grill - A gyro sandwich, some dressing and a couple pieces of lettuce. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

I went here with a large group recently. The service was excellent! I enjoyed my meal and had leftovers to take home. If you want a change from Red/Green/Xmas sauce in LCNM, I recommend this place. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! Restaurant was very clean. Service was fast, courteous. Side note-Chai tea was soooo yummy! read more

Food was delicious with nice balance of spices. Nice little restaurant...clean, good atmosphere and friendly staff!

I had the gero.That was one of the best ones I had in a long time The service was pretty good

OK, this is a toughie. We have eaten food from King Grill twice. Once was a long time ago, but it was takeout and it was delicious. Last week we went to dine in, and the food was still delicious but the atmosphere needs some help. Miss the booths from International Delights? You can sit in them again, here! First of all, the restaurant staff consists of one guy. He is the waiter and the cashier. There are some cooks in a separate room. Waiter-guy was not super-observant, so there could be a long delay between when someone came into the restaurant and when he finally appeared. So, friendly but disorganized. We ordered the lamb shwarma, another lamb dish, and the dolmas. The lamb dishes came with rice and a little bit of greek salad. That was all delicious, and the wait was not terrible, but while we were sitting there trying to dine, about 3 separate takeout orders were anxiously milling around the dining area (there's not a separate place for the takeout people to wait). It's hard to enjoy dinner while surrounded by people worrying about their doordash tips or what is taking the to-go order so long. And the takeout orders did legitimately take a long time, so I'm not sure doing takeout is the answer. I hope waiter-guy figures it out, because this place has the bones of a good restaurant if he can work out the atmospheric bugs. read more

Food is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The entrees arrived hot and in a timely manner. The ambiance is lacking but the food more than makes up for it. read more

I ordered for the first time through GrubHub it was sooooo good. I've been looking for a good Middle Eastern restaurant and this is it for sure. Seasonings aren't as strong as I'm used to with authentic Middle Eastern food but it's still very good and I will definitely be back for more read more

King Grill - Combination plate, Greek salad, Lamb Shawarma, extra pita, and falafel. Fire! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

In the several years since International Delights closed I have been at a loss. Every now and then I search the web for a restaurant in the area that serves Middle Eastern dishes that I love but no joy until, to my delight, I just recently discovered King Grill. The Lamb Shank Couscous was a large platter and was delicious: braised lamb shank with carrots, green beans, chick peas and, of course, couscous with a savory sauce. The Vegetarian Plate was generous and beautifully presented with falafel, hummus, tabouli and yellow rice garnished with a deliciously dressed small salad and olives. The baklava was great and the cardamom tea was much enjoyed. Happy Days! I can hardly wait to get back! read more

I had a gyros sandwich with very fresh fries and my husband had a chicken souvlaki with rice pilaf. Both were delicious. We split a Greek salad which was good, although the dressing was a strange mustard-based dressing so I was glad it was on the side. My husband liked it, though. We did not have room for dessert but they did have baklava on the menu. The restaurant is attached to a Mediterranean grocery store, where we got some fresh Bulgarian feta cheese and some tea biscuits. Lots of other regional items as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and we will be back! read more

Rate this Mediterranean Grill FOUR AND A HALF STARS for the dining experience. I had driven past this little Mediterranean restaurant many times and it never looked like it was open. It is attached to a little grocery store on South Solano. Today I just had to stop in after reading a bunch of reviews raving about the food. So, just what is the truth about this place? Since Tiffany's went out of business I just had to find out. Inside the ambiance is nothing special. It is clean and well maintained, but it is still a little gloomy in there. I will note that on this somewhat cold winter day the restaurant was freezing inside and customers had to wear sweatshirts and jackets!!! One young woman was handling the front by herself. She was very pleasant and did a nice job. The restaurant was not really busy but it still took almost 25 or 30 minutes to get my food. There is no urgency to get the food out quickly at King Grill. I will also note that the waitress immediately brought out and placed a bottled water on my table in place of the usual glass of ice water. What was that all about? Never had that happen before. The prices for the food are very reasonable, especially when you consider how large the portions are. Today I ordered the Chicken Shawarma on Pita and the traditional Gyro. The Shawarma came with fries or a salad. I opted for fries. Inside the pita there was a lot of chopped up marinated chicken. The chicken had a nice flavor. I would think coriander and turmeric were primarily featured. It was a bit spicy but the heat level would be acceptable to most people. The veggies were crisp and fresh. A little tahini sauce topped it off. This was an excellent and somewhat exotic sandwich for the money. Rate it an "A-." The fries were fairly good...not at all greasy. Rate them a "B" to a "B+." The gyro came with the traditional gyro meat. It too had a lot of meat...much more than other gyros around town. The veggies also were crisp and fresh. This was a very good gyro...upper level but perhaps not an outstanding gyro. The meat seemed to be a bit dry and lacked a little flavor. Rate it a "B+" to an "A-." So, if you go...you'll find a clean but very casual atmosphere, casual service that is still efficient and pleasant, food prep times a little on the slow side, prices that are very reasonable, large portions, and very good quality exotic Mediterranean food. Despite the casual atmosphere, the food quality is high enough to raise the restaurant rating to FOUR AND A HALF STARS. I'll definitely return. read more

Loved the lamb shawarma bowl. Very authentic. My to-go order took a little while but it's a small restaurant. Will try again.

After an appointment and an errand, we decided to try out the King Grill for lunch. Surprising enough when we entered, we saw three of our friends there for lunch also, so we ate lunch with them. We had two vegetarian plates, two gyro plates and a gyro with French fries. Everything was good, but I am used to a lot more meat in my gyro. The pitas were fine, but I have had better ones in the area. Service was fine. read more

Great middle eastern food for a great price. The flavors tend to be more Persian, and it's nice to have some variety from the Greek, Lebanese, and Indian spices that this town has. (Not that any of them are bad!) The Adana Kebab is amazing, and the attached bodega has Iranian saffron and halal foods at amazing prices you won't find anywhere else in this Border Town! read more

The falafel was great, dense with lots of flavor green interior and just perfect. The baba ghanoush had great textures and also had unique flavors. The chicken masala was good and spicy. Over all just really impressed with this hidden gem. Great for call in orders or dinning in. Table service was exceptional. read more

In all fairness, this rating is not based on a meal. On a Friday evening, recently, we went to the restaurant - I had a craving for Middle Eastern food. There was a family at a table, but no one else. We saw several people at a grocery part of the restaurant, and we can't imagine that no one saw us. We remained there, clearly visible, for what I think was at least 10 minutes, and then we left. No idea what was going on. If there was a specific reason for not attending to us, I would have appreciated being told. read more

The food was good. The service was awful No one would make eye contact with us so we floundered around at the entrance. My first time there. Then no one waited on us. We were about to leave then a young woman finally asked us if we wanted to order??? Of course we did. read more

I stopped by here and got a couple appetizers to go (stuffed grape leaves and babaganoush). Both were very delicious. I also got some baklava which was nicely done - not too sweet, and the filo was very crispy. read more

My daughter and I came in for dinner. The staff was warm and welcoming. The restaurant was spotless and clean. I ordered the Gyro plate which was very good. My only complaint was my meat was a bit over cooked. The prices are perfect for the amount of food you got. My daughter got the tiki masala. Which was a bit spicy but the flavor was great. We will definitely come back. read more

Great food and service. With the overcast skies and a light breeze we enjoyed eating out on the patio.

The food was excellent the kabobs were very tasty. The portion size were good. Will definitely eat there again

Great food! Try the chicken masala and the extra creamy hummus! They also have a grocery store within the same building.

Extremely strange gyros. I was hoping for a traditional pita filled with gyro meat, onions, tzatziki sauce and tomatoes. What arrived was a pita with a tad of gyro meat, a medley of bitter greens and a diced mix of onion, tomato and unappealing dry spices. The waitress was friendly enough but brought us our beverages by carrying them with her hand gripping the cups from above. The interior appeared cold and dated. The booths and tables were strewn about oddly with little to no planning. Looked as if they were bought at a fire sale and just came off the truck. Poor service, no ambiance and bitter food. read more

I love you food. HOWEVER.. we have now been there twice and at 5:30 in the evening you were out of the chicken curry and tonight you were out of BOTH the chicken curry and chicken masala. We walked out. Seriously, if this continues you won't make it, which is a shame because your food is incredible. read more

Delicious food! We had the lamb shawarma and chicken shawarma sandwiches and they were delicious! The sage tea is also good. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back again. My one year old enjoyed the lamb and chicken. read more

I can't wait to go back to King Grill. The food was fabulous. I ordered the falafel and French fries and my partner ordered the veg plate. It was fresh and the serving size was perfect. The French fries were a little salty but I don't really like salt. The service was friendly and quick and the prices were competitive. The bathroom and seating area were both clean, which say so much about a restaurant. read more

Great food we ordered shawarmas and they where very tasty also love how it's attached to a grocery store so you can get drinks and other stuff as well read more

First of all, they just answer the phone with hello so you don't even know if you're calling the right place or not. I simply asked what service they use for delivery and the guy gave me attitude. I love Middle Eastern food, but I will never never never go to this establishment ever! I have to put a star rating on this or it wouldn't post. But believe me or not, I would have no stars for them. read more

My dad and and I have driven by this place quite a bit and have always wondered about it. So today we came in for our weekly date night. As we sat down we noticed that the restaurant was extremely clean and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond they were extremely friendly. I had ordered the chicken masala and it had amazing flavor the only complaint I had was it was a bit spicy however that's also a matter of opinion. The price of the food was extremely affordable and you got quite a bit of food enough to take home for leftovers. I will definitely be returning back here again!!! read more

The food is good and the employees are nice, but the faucet water in the bathroom smells like rotten eggs.
