Ambience - it is a place that will take your order at the table and bring food to the table, but it has a casual feel . Menu not extensive like a full-service Greek restaurant, but adequate. Lebanese food too. Hummus - small size was huge and over the top delicious with freshly grilled hummus wedges. Gyros - lamb - perfectly grilled to be crispy on the edges and served with the traditional tzatziki, onion and tomato Lentil Soup full of flavor, served hot. We were traveling through, but will not forget it if we go that way again. read more

Our son was recently visiting us from Rio Rancho. He wanted to try Pecan Grill but it was Monday and they were closed. My wife suggested to go to Santorini instead. He ordered Spanakopita and to share a Greek Salad, rice and French Fries. My wife ordered a chicken gyros and I ordered the Baba Ghanoush sandwich on a Greek pita prepared with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and Kalamata olives. My wife and I have been there before a few times and we figured our son who is a foodie would like it. The server was outstanding but I don't recall her name. When we left, our son said that now Santorini is another favorite restaurant when visiting Las Cruces. read more

Food was tasty! The falafel is mediocre; doesn't compare to other versions I've had. However, their shawarma game is strong! We had the chicken (with cream garlic sauce - yum!) and beef shawarma sandwiches. No notes, delicious! The baba ghanoush is also amazing, although it could use more pita (without the extra charge). Only problems we had was the restaurant was uncomfortably warm and we never received our french fries that we ordered, although they were friendly when asked to remove them from the bill. Overall, a great option in Las Cruces! read more

Found an amazing Meditteranean restaurant serving both Greek and Lebanese favorites located across the street from New Mexico State University. The restaurant is clean and modern inside. The service was very friendly and our waitress came by several times to see how we were doing. The food was fantastic. Everything we got was delicious. It was fresh, well seasoned, and a large portion that was enough to take some home for later. Definitely a good find for Mediterranean cuisine in Las Cruces. read more

This was a really surprising and tasty Mediterranean find near our hotel and just across from the local university! Inside is spacious and clean, modern ikea style furniture and decor. Food service was fairly slow but this was our only real gripe. The food was excellent and a really pleasant surprise. We tried both the Greek and Lebanese combo plates. The meats were all fantastic and well cooked, not overcooked or poor quality. We loved how many options there were to choose from. The seasoned rice was also really good. The portions were good for the price and we all left full and happy. I'd happily come back if in the area again or if I lived nearby. I'd expect it's a great place to get takeout from as well. There was parking outfront but the strip mall it's in was busy so difficult to get a spot up close during dinner time. However plenty of spaces a few stores down if you can walk a bit. read more

Pleasantly surprised for a restaurant so close to a college town. Interior is clean and bright, food came out very quickly and tasted amazing. I came alone but really miss Greek food so got a bit of everything and was not disappointed. I'm sure the main dishes are great as well, portions seem to be good as many customers walked out with to go boxes but I was really hungry so I ate everything. read more

It's across from NMSU campus, catering to college students. While I've been to better Greek restaurants, this one is pretty good - and the only one in town I think. The service is great. I like the gyro sandwich as well as the gyro platter. read more

It was great visiting this location again while I was in town. The quality of food, flavor, and authenticity is definitely apparent in every dish and every delicious bite! I ordered the Chicken Taouk (Lebanese) Grilled Chicken Breast meat marinated in garlic, lemon juice & spices with your choice of garlic cream or hummus, & rice on the side served with a small salad and a Lebanese pita. The chicken comes on three skewers and is loaded with flavor and still very juicy and tender. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. The beautiful orange door is a lovely pop of color, it would also be awesome to paint it a beautiful popular Grecian blue. I recommend this restaurant read more

I was in Las Cruces traveling and that evening. I wanted a little something different to eat. Being a yelper, I found Santorini. It's kind of tricky to find if you're not local. It's right across from the university. So I imagine they get a tremendous amount of student traffic. Parking can be an issue, so I might choose to go during a less busy time. I was lucky and found parking fairly close. I walked into a very bright, spacious restaurant. It's also about expectations. Everyone is understaffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The restaurant was clean. The service was fast and efficient .The food was good and solid, hot and delicious, and the portions were really generous. I had the Gyros sandwich, and it was the lamb, and it was very nicely seasoned. I also had a Greek salad, which was tasty. And of course, some baklava, which was also tasty. I would recommend them, but be mindful of the parking read more

Ordered takeout so not the full picture on the restaurant, but the falafel was just okay. My main complaint is the bread and the excessive tsatkisi sauce. Not the worst falafel ever though, may give it another try dining in. read more

We've been going to Santorini for years. Their Mediterranean food is very authentic, having been overseas and eating locally. We typically order the lamb no matter what dish we get, and it is superb. Their naan and tzatziki is very good as is their hummus. Every dish I've had here is excellent. read more

Santorini is my favorite spot to get a Greek Gyro . So I went there today for lunch with the restaurant being open, busy with people inside and eating. I wanted to make a order to go and the hostess lady refused to serve me without any explanation. She was very rude with an attitude go with it. I hate to say this , but I will never go back due to this one occurrence. If I could leave no stars , I would... read more

Only place for Greek food in Las cruces so whenever the cravings hit...which it does, then if I want something light a gyro or chicken shawarma, the pickle in it adds the perfect crunch but recommend with the garlic sauce!!! If I'm eating in, then I always get the Greek combo plate ... Appetizers have had are the dolmas & falafel... truly haven't had a bad meal here and been there many times! Atmosphere could be a little bit more exciting but the food is fantastic ! Personally, I like my excuse skewers cooked a little longer yet other than that minor detail it's worth checking out if you like Greek read more

Went for dinner, service was good, but the food itself, had some issues. Ordered: Pork Souvlaki (Greek) Grilled Pork Loin marinated in spices with Tzatziki & rice on the side, served with a small salad and a Greek pita. Pork was skewered, cooked on a flamed grill and being pork loin, not particularly flavorful but definitely a bit over charred, blackened? The rice was overcooked and too salty, probably had cooked down too much. Salad was very basic, not much to it with lettuce, olives, covered with a simple vinegar, oil dressing; Pita bread was cut into small triangle shapes with tzatziki sauce (whole pita cut in 1/4's). For dessert I ordered a walnut baklava. It was OK but very small cut shaped portion and a bit on the dry side without much honey in it. Overall, the portions and food were definitely on the small side; there seem to be an attempt to make everything small to maximize revenue and with a soda about $25-$30. While, I believe these were dinner plates, one could make a observation that they were small portions; to a point they could be considered a small sized sampler plate or hors d'oeuvre platter, rather than a full dinner entree, typical sized meal. I went with a group and was charged a set "service fee" This was my first time going, but overall not particularly impressed with the food quality; very small portions seem to be a definite business decision and when leaving did not feel satisfied or that one is getting a normal sized meal. Later in the evening, I got a second meal elsewhere, to fill me up. The server was fine and helpful, discussing the menu, had good recommendations, etc.,; after paying the bill or at least attempting to, I had to go to the back counter and figure out where to give the signed credit card receipt to. Paying the bill and not really having a set register area, made figuring out where to complete payment and dealing with the receipt was a bit odd; having a specific area with a POS system would be better, reduce payment confusion. read more

I don't understand the positive reviews. I ordered takeout. The food was ready on time but it was pretty expensive for the small number of items I ordered. Doubly so when you factor in the following... I am staying six minutes from Santorini and the food was ice cold and soggy by the time I got it home. The portions are absolutely tiny. The flavor was acceptable but nothing to write home about. Maybe dining in there gives you a better experience but for my money, it's a no go. I'm going somewhere else and hoping for better luck. read more

Yummy. The best gyros around and the rice side is a pleasant surprise. The wait staff is efficient and pleasant

In my opinion Santorini is a Gem among the usual fare found in Las Cruces. They serve Greek and Lebanese dishes that are all delicious. They have plenty of vegetarian dishes that are vegan as well. I've had Lamb Gyros sandwiches which are the best in town and, the other day I ordered a Falafel sandwich that comes with lettuce, tomato and hummus on a Lebanese Pita for lunch with Maghli which is a Lebanese rice flour pudding for dessert. Both were excellent and easy on the pocketbook. They have salads, soup, Appetizers, vegetarian sandwiches, meat sandwiches, platters, sides and desserts with drink options. What's really cool is they have a students special menu that is valid with a student ID and it includes salad or chips and a soft drink. The service is everything it should be and there is plenty of seating to accommodate anyone. The restaurant is clean and bright and welcoming. They offer pork souvlaki which is the only meat dish on the menu which is not halal. Overall, it's a very pleasant dining experience. Oh, and if someone wants free delivery offered by Orange Crate.

We moved to Las Cruces recently and needed to find a place to have a small catered lunch. It was for a bday party for about 14 people. I called and spoke with Sarah who was really nice. I ended up going in to speak with her. The restaurant looks so much nicer on the inside, very clean, and the smell of the food was so mouthwatering! Sarah was extremely helpful with creating the menu and pricing it out for me. Upon picking up the order, everything was ready on time and well packaged. It smelled so good, it was a tough 15 min drive home with all that food in the car. The great reveal was not disappointing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and there was more than enough to go around, take homes and leftovers for the rest of the week. The meal items: - Falafel: Never had a falafel dish taste so good! They are also the biggest I've ever had. - Hummus: Beautiful presentation, very fresh and light. - Greek salad: The most abundant dish, too many olives (personal opinion because I do not like Olives). - Spanakopita: they are LARGE and very hearty. Great balance of spinach to cheese. - Lamb gyro: Outstanding! Well seasoned and I like the way it was sliced - smaller slices than the average. - Chicken gyro: Juicy, very well balanced flavor considering it was more chicken breast in smaller pieces. - Beef keftedes: all the beef-eaters loved! - Rice: I quite enjoyed the flavoring in the rice. Will definitely be back and I definitely recommend! read more

Santorini - Grilled chicken with garlic cream sauce - Greek Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

I was passing through and just stopped to eat so I wouldn't pass out from hunger. Dolmas were fire! Hummus and baba ganoush were delicious. The veggie platter only came with 3 options. You got to choose which three appetizers you wanted, but I'm used to getting at least 4 items in a platter. I wanted falafel, dolmas, hummus, and baba ganoush. But I just stuck with the platter and didn't venture out. Maybe next time I'll get to see what those falafel are all about. Restaurant is huge, spacious (not crammed), light, and airy. It's a nice place. read more

This place is AMAZING. I had the hummus and is was the best I have had in a very long time. The pita was fresh and the Lebanese beef platter, Orphali. It was spicy and delicious. Hubs had the lamb gyro and said it was top notch. read more

Yeah, y'all need to work on your customer service. I'm giving a star because I actually like the food, but this is the SECOND time the staff gives attitude--once in person, this time carry out. We ordered for a group of 7 -- the order placement via phone was hectic. The pickup included a scolding--"next time, order 24 hrs. ahead." If this place wants the rep International Delights had before they closed--rude and unwelcoming--then keep it up. I'll be making my way to King's and El Paso for my dolmas next time. read more

Authentic Greek gyros! Staff was very professionally polite. I will definitely go back.

I liked the food and prices and my waitress was very sweet and good. I just didn't think it was to perfect and then I found it odd they charged me a like a dollar just to have a different salad dressing (it's offered on another salad) it seemed unnecessary and like they were gouging me even tho we purchased a very full meal with drinks and appetizer. read more

Ok food. Very minimal on soups, only had lentil. To much cinnamon on the rice. Nice atmosphere and the place is clean

Had a craving for greek food and we found this place during our road trip. We arrived before dinner time and were sat quickly. We had falafel, hummus, pitas, both the greek and lebanese platter, and baklava. The food was spot on! We normally take pics of our food but we ended up tearing into it. The baklava has to be one of the best we have ever had, and this includes the time we lived in Europe. The place is cozy and nice, so if you are wanting some greek or something new, this is definitely the spot! read more

Very clean and exceptional service. Restaurant is very minimal with just chairs and tables, no hoopla.

Found cockroaches in the food, staff incredibly rude. Do not go here!! There are other fine Greek places like the one that replaced the Aqua Reef off of Roadrunner and the one on Telshor. You put your life in your hands if you dine here. You've been warned! read more

Santorini - Chicken gyro - Greek Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

"Greek Salad" popped into my mind and Yelp told me that this place served them. Santorini is very clean and bright (lots of windows). The waitstaff is very friendly and the service is quick. I ordered a small Greek salad, a side of falafel and an iced tea. The falafel plate was three pieces with a dollop of hummus and some tomato slices on the side. The only word I can use to describe the falafel is "cake-y". It didn't taste bad, but was not like any other I've ever had. The salad was barely Greek-adjacent. Some shredded lettuce bathed in some flavorless, light oil, a light dusting of feta cheese and a couple of small, black olives. I was disappointed. A couple of days later, I found a much better Greek salad in Las Cruces. read more

Omg super delicious!!! The chicken was to die for!!! The hummus was very fresh. The baklava was very tasty. The staff was very friendly. Food arrived in a timely manner. Can't say enough good things about this place!!! Great job! Next time I am visiting from California I will make this a must place to eat ! read more

Visited and had the side greek salad, hummus and lamb gyro. Portions were plentiful and service was prompt. Salad was crisp and fresh. Hummus was creamy and prepared very recently. The server was kind enough to bring extra warm pita amd cucumber slices. Lamb gyro was tender and flavorful with plenty of accoutrements. read more

Cute place with decent Mediterranean food. Ambiance - Spacious, white, and very clean on the inside which was a drastic contrast from the outside which was very refreshing. Service - Efficient and attentive. Food - Pork souvlaki with fries and beef kabob w/ salad (student special). Souvlaki and fries were decent; I just wish the fries were better seasoned. Beef kabob though was delicious and the meat was very tender and juicy. Salad was also fresh and refreshing. Overall, cute place with some good Mediterranean food. Definitely a good value if you're a student and go for the student specials! read more

The food is really subpar. Not only that the owner deletes any bad reviews off of Google. I left a one star there and they started verbal​ly assaulting me lol.

The rice was so hard and overcooked like they cook it in the microwave. read more

First and foremost, it's the best hummus I've EVER had from ANYWHERE. So creamy and silky! They have plenty of options, however, they have "run out" of falafel more than once, which has left me as a vegan/vegetarian with less filling options. I also wish they included more pita bread with their hummus orders. However, overall, one of my favorites and very delicious! read more
