King Grill — Restaurant in Las Cruces

A Middle Eastern Delight with a Global Touch

I recently had the pleasure of dining at King Market/Grill that left me utterly impressed and wholly satisfied. Tucked away in the heart of the city, (Solano & Nevada) and this hidden gem not only offers an exceptional culinary experience but also boasts outstanding service that goes above and beyond.

From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm smile and genuine hospitality.

The menu, a delightful exploration of Middle Eastern cuisine, offers an array of dishes that cater to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, expertly crafted with fresh and high-quality ingredients. From the aromatic spices to the succulent meats, every bite tells a story of tradition and culinary expertise.

While the dining area may lack the opulence of some high-end establishments, it possesses a charm that is both inviting and authentic. The simplicity of the decor allows the food to take center stage, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a family gathering. The casual setting fosters a sense of camaraderie among diners, making it an enjoyable place to share a meal with friends or family.

What sets King Grill apart is its unique connection to a neighboring grocery store, King Market, specializing in international foods. This dual concept adds an extra layer to the dining experience, allowing patrons to explore and purchase authentic ingredients to recreate the flavors of the restaurant in the comfort of their own homes. The grocery store is a treasure trove of culinary delights, offering a wide selection of spices, sauces, and other specialties that reflect the restaurant's commitment to authenticity.

One cannot help but appreciate the integrity with which this establishment operates. The prices are surprisingly reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the dishes. It's evident that the restaurant values not only the satisfaction of its customers but also the integrity of the culinary traditions it represents.

King Grill is a true standout in the culinary scene. With its exceptional food, impeccable service, and a unique connection to a diverse grocery store, it offers a complete and enriching dining experience. If you're looking for a place where delicious flavors, affordability, and cultural authenticity converge, this is the place to be. It's not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Middle Eastern cuisine with a...

This is the only strictly "middle-eastern" restaurant in Las Cruces at the moment, besides Santorini (which is Greek/Lebanese, [though there is also Tiffany's Greek restaurant]). It doesn't seem to have much of a web presence at all; in fact I'd never heard of it until someone mentioned it via word-of-mouth on Facebook. In any case, it's more reminiscent of the old International Delights Café, which was a staple here for many years. All of the food I've tried has been excellent--the babaghanoush, Shwarma sandwich, Falafel sandwich, etc. Even the rice that comes with the larger plates is wonderfully seasoned. The salads are not to my taste, but mainly because I don't personally care for the unusual vinegrette that comes with it. In general I would say the portions do tend to be relatively small, but that's not been an issue for me, because I tend to find most portions elsewhere too large to finish. All in all, I think its extremely good food and worthwhile to try if you're into mid-east cuisine. The service tends to be very slow if you dine in (there seems to be one person in the front and one cook in the back), but they've always had my food ready when I've ordered ahead for pick-up. The prices are somewhat high considering the portion sizes, but nothing exorbitant. It's unfortunately complety dead every time I've been there, but I think that's strictly because few people know it even exists. There also happens to be a fairly sizable market place adjacent to the restaurant that caters to similar middle-eastern culinary...

Finally got this middle eastern restaurant connected to King Grocery, featuring middle eastern foods. I tried the dolma and falafel appetizers and my partner had the baba ganoush with pita bread. The dolma were middle eastern style with rice and tzaziki sauce rather than oil/lemon sauce or lemon-egg sauce. It was not a winner. The falafel was also served with tzaziki, again not winning combo. I had the gyro sandwich with tzaziki sauce. The baba ganoush was a winner. The sandwich had more than ample amounts of meat. Might have preferred the gyro minus the pita. My partner the lamb shawarma with ever present tzaziki sauce. Both sandwiches were served with a substantial Greek salad, which made this a good value item on the sandwich list. The pita bread was wrapped around the meat and fillings rather in pita bread pocket, not my preferred way of making a gyro. We were served 12 ounce bottles of water. Since Las Cruces does have a lot of non-Mexican restaurants, we hope this middle eastern restaurant is successful, but we were unimpressed with the food on our...
