Zoës Kitchen

I have heard some really good things about this place so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken kabob with pasta salad instead of the house salad. Chicken kabob was DEEEELICIOUS but the pasta salad was partially frozen. I flagged down one of the gentlemen who worked there and he explained their cooler «cools» a little too well on the side, but brought me more along with some hummus. Talk about redeeming! They are a tad on the pricier side but definitely worth it, the food is great and the staff is friendly. Only thing is the parking is way too limited. Try to avoid average lunch times, they can get a bit packed.

I’ve always enjoyed Zoes Kitchen and this location just happens to be the closest to the office.
It has all your favorite Mediterranean eats (hummus, kabobs/​skewers, pita, etc) at reasonable prices. I love coming here, because I know I can trust the ingredients and everything is cooked made to order. I usually will get the Steak Kabob entrée with side of greek salad. The steak roll-​ups are also delicious with the dipping sauce.
I can’t emphasize this enough that this location gets Extremely Busy during lunch. Definitely recommend, coming a little early or later to beat the long wait.

I’m not sure why I waited so long to try Zoë’s kitchen. They have several locations both near my office and my home. I have had catered food from them in the past, but never ate at one of their restaurants until recently.
I had a very excellent lunch for a reasonable price. What I liked most was the variety of items on their menu and the healthiness of their food. I ordered a real healthy side with my sandwich, roasted vegetables, and for being healthy they were extremely tasty.
I also ordered the Grüben sandwich, which is a turkey sandwich with lettuce and cheese. It’s a heated sandwich that came on toasted wheat bread and was really good, with a very fresh taste and not heavy in the calorie count.
It’s a fast casual place where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The restaurant was crowded at lunch but I was able to find a table. Service was quick. There was no line to order, and the sandwich came out in a few minutes.
Prices are reasonable, about $ 8.25 for my lunch. It’s a great value for the money and I would definitely try them again.

Love it. Only been 1 time and has the chicken roll up and pasta. Delish and I will visit again !!

I have passed Zoe’s a hundred times and thank God I finally decided to stop in. Now my husband and I eat here or get take out once a week. The food is so fresh and so good! I love how there are so many healthy options. Love the chicken kebabs and the steak kebabs, the roasted vegetables, the grilled potatoes, the salads. Everything I have ever eaten has been delicious. My three year old son loves the kids chicken roll up with a fruit cup. I like that they cook your food made to order. It is always so fresh and hot, so I don’t mind waiting for it. Zoe’s is by far my favorite fast-​casual restaurant!

We ordered the steak kabobs and rosemary and ham piadina. The food was awesome. The flavors are amazing. This can’t be fast food.

I was working late last Thursday and my company decided to bring us dinner. The vote settled on Zoes Kitchen, and we placed a large group order.
First of all, the food was very good. I had steak roll-​ups with hummus and pita, and slaw. I thought it was delicious and the portions weren’t large enough to make me feel gross after I ate. The hummus was very good, with a nice consistency and a pretty large serving of pita. I had plenty left over to snack on the next day. They also gave me a giant cookie, but since I don’t like sweets, I gave it to my girlfriend and she said it was good.
Based on this single experience, I was happy. However, there were some issues picking up the food, as other reviews have indicated. First, the staff was rude when we called to make a change. Second, some of the food was not labeled properly and someone almost inadvertently ate my hummus since she had ordered a (smaller) side portion. The entrees were labeled individually, why not the sides? It made no sense.
Overall, this was a decent experience. I will definitely be back, but it seems like Zoes may need to tighten up their pick up and ordering processes.

My husband and I love the food, and we like to order for Pick-​Up for dinner. However, each time we’ve done so, whichever of us has gone to pick up the order was practically ignored for several minutes. Yesterday, for example, I stopped by on my way home to pick up our order. One gentleman was behind the counter working on other orders, while another gentleman and young lady talked behind the counter. I was the only one at the counter and smiled and gave a little wave in case they didn’t notice me. The two who were talking looked directly at me but said nothing. A little acknowledgement or a «We’ll be right with you» would have been appreciated, but instead, I was simply ignored until one of them could help me. The food is great, but the service at this location is lacking.

Pros: Enjoyed my Steak Stack sandwich, tasty and toasted just spot on. Roasted veggies on the side were also perfect. Cashier was friendly and professional. Countless healthy options on the menu.
Cons: Fairly long wait for a sandwich at non-​peak time. The sour woman that brought it practically threw the plate on the table without a word or eye contact and speedwalked away. I would have had to yell or get up and chase her if I’d immediately noticed that my order was wrong. Out of napkins, which points to you, manager. Bathroom paper towels as a tacky backup. The booths aren’t holding up, all of the fake leather benches are cracking and trim pieces have fallen off. (This place is about a year old.) Fabric’s are stained and there’s some old, dried liquid (salad dressing?) on the wood veneer wall of the booth. Easily cleaned if anyone was so inclined.

The tabouli orzo salad is fantastic, and so is the tomato bisque. Great restaurant that everyone seems to enjoy.

Good for individual orders. Good luck trying to place a catering order.
This is a great place as long as you stick with the kabobs. The salad and rice are delicious. I don’t even like rice — but theirs if fluffy saffron rice. The sandwiches are awful. I’ve had the Grueben — bland/​tasteless. Chicken Roll-​up — bland/​tasteless. Egg salad — you guessed it. Bland/​Tasteless.
Their catering department is awful. I was trying to place a $ 500 catering order. I called the afternoon before around 3pm. Should have been perfect calling at a slow time right? They told me to call back. I called back they told me to call back. Oh I did make another call– to Moes. They took my order right then and there. They are a business who appreciates an extra $ 500 bucks in your weekly gross.
I am the office food girl and just do this as an add on to my real work. I don’t have time for calling back crap. I won’t be using this place again. It’s too bad — as the food is really tasty.

Great Customer Service by Host Jerry and tasty food!
Took awhile to get food, anxious due to movie date — starting 35 minutes later! Thank goodness only 5 mins away!

Very good healthy food! The chicken salad is my favorite! I also ordered the shrimp kabobs and they were good as well; however, the shrimp were slightly overcooked.

First and foremost, I want to emphasize the fact that I LOVE Zoe’s. I have eaten at Zoe’s for a few years now, with the majority of my visits occurring at the Peachtree Battle location, with a few dine-​ins here. All of my experiences have been nothing short of excellent. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is friendly and the food is awesome. Those steak kabobs never fail to impress and the pita sandwiches are among the best. However, stay away from the Mediterranean Chicken. I say this because the price does not reflect what you get on the plate. I’m beating my head on the wall as I write this because I regret not taking a picture of it. The two pieces of chicken that you get are small, like very small, it’s pathetic. Seriously. If I had to guess, I would say that they are two ounces each. Imagine putting a few chicken nuggets next to each other, that’s pretty much the size of what you’ll get. I’m really hoping that this was an isolated incident, but it doesn’t appear that way because my girlfriend had the same exact issue. I feel like I could of gotten better better sized chicken at Pollo Tropical and Chic-​Fila at a fraction of the price. By the way, ¾’s of the plate is the Greek salad and by the looks of it, appears to be the «star» of the plate since it literally overshadows the chicken. If I wanted Greek salad, I would have ordered it on its own! Anyways, the braised white beans were quite tasty, I could definitely see myself adding it as a side on a future order. My recommendation to remedy this issue: either adjust the price or include chicken that is larger in size. I originally was going to post two stars, but since it was delicious, I’ll add an additional star.

I fell in love with this place while working in the Atlanta area. Great healthy options and very affordable. If possible try to avoid the lunch rush, it can get pretty busy.

Fresh and light! Very tasty, clean, and incredibly friendly. Food was flavorful. Hit the spot on a hot day — we split the Gruben and Chicken Salad Sampler plates.
As a first timer I was impressed with the overall menu and employees, that were eager to help. I will definitely go again to try something new and I’m sure equally as yummy

Ordered the Mediterranean tuna pita with potato salad and it was delicious. I ordered my food to go and it was ready in a good amount of time. Everyone is pretty friendly there and it seems they care about the quality of the food, which makes me happy.
I’ve been here a few times before and will continue to come back.

Zoe’s Kitchen has been catered to my workplace for several years. They are health conscious and try to have vendors that has more healthier options. I was excited to try them out since a few of my coworkers do like them. When I finally did, I was disappointed. To me, they lack flavor. This is definitely an Americanize version of Meditarranean food. I don’t mind American versions but it was just tasteless.
I went back to order food because one of my girlfriends wanted me to get her the salmon kabobs before visiting her. Conveniently, I ordered online and said my pickup will be 4:15 pm. When I got there, I wasn’t even greeted right away and my order wasn’t ready. Great. Why did I order online anyways? I expect my order ready by 4:15 pm.
By the looks of the place, it has the Corner Bakery & Fresh to Order feel. You order, take a number, and when food is ready, they will bring it out. I waited 15 minutes until my order was ready. I was disappointed because I didn’t want to wait that long. If I did, I wouldn’t order online two hours ago!
I did order an extra order of salmon kabobs for me to try. I can say that still is flavorless that I gave the rest of my food to my friend. I told her next time, I’m taking her to an authentic Meditarranean (preferably Persian) restaurant in the future.
No, I will not come back. No more.

We don’t have this chain where I live and I’ve seen this place while visiting Atlanta, heard good things, and decided to stop by for dinner.
It’s a cool looking place when you walk in, great color scheme and very welcoming.
I ordered the spinach roll ups and they were great, fresh tasting, great flavor. I had a side of hummus and was impressed. It was light, creamy, and flavorful.
The cashier was very nice, pleasant, and informative. She could tell that I had not visited the restaurant and asked. She then gave a quick breakdown of how things worked there (basically, here’s a small sign with your order number and we’ll bring it out to you).
They pick up the empty plates which is a nice touch.
I’ll definitely check this place out again in the future.

Finally had a chance to try this place after hearing so much about it. I liked it pretty well. The interior is pretty colorful. Reds, oranges, and yellows rule; I liked it.
So you go in and order, get a number, and they bring the food out to your table. I ordered the chicken kabobs as suggested in many reviews and it was a good choice. The two kabobs were grilled with chicken, onion, green peppers, and tomato. These were served over rice. Along with this came a large greek salad. The salad was pretty good, but there was no way I could eat it all. It really is a large portion. The dressing comes on the tables so you are able to control how much you eat. The salad was fresh and good.
The kabobs were tasty. I ate both of them up along with the rice. Everything was agreeable.
I like this place for a healthy choice in dining. I’m certain I will be back to enjoy some other items on the menu.

Zoes Kitchen is a fast casual Mediterranean-​inspired restaurant with a handful of locations in metro Atlanta. This location opened late 2012 near the corner of Cobb Parkway and Akers Mill Road. Businesses close-​by include Pinkberry and Pollo Tropical.
Along with this location, I’ve also been to the one in Buckhead. I’m a fan of Zoes because they have a lot of healthy food on their menu at affordable prices. It’s hard to eat healthy when dining out, but Zoes gives you that option. The food is Mediterranean, but more Americanized and not as tasty nor authentic.
Examples of their food include hummus, Greek salads, pita sandwiches (and regular sandwiches), and kabobs. Most items are under $ 10 each. Order up front and your food is brought to your table. Fountain drinks, silverware, and condiments are self-​serve. The relatively new restaurant space and is clean and comfortable. Outdoor seating is available.
Some items I’ve tried at this Zoes location include:
Chicken Kabobs — two kabobs, grilled peppers and onions, tomato, rice pilaf, side Greek salad
Mediterranean Tuna Pita — albacore tuna, capers, red onions, olives, lettuce, tomato (no mayo)
Zoe’s Club Pita — grilled chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard
Quinoa salad with grilled chicken, onion, feta, olives, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens
Roasted Fresh Vegetables
Pasta Salad
The food is generally fresh and colorful. The pieces of chicken on the chicken kabobs are big and I believe only white meat chicken. Red onion, tomato, and green bell pepper are interspersed between the pieces of chicken. The Greek salad is crisp and tangy. Homemade salad dressing is provided at each table. The rice pilaf is ordinary. It’d be awesome if they served basmati rice like a real Mediterranean restaurant. A few slices of cold, plain pita bread also come with a kabob entrée order.
I like the pitas here. They are filling and satisfying. The Mediterranean Tuna Pita comes with plenty of tasty tuna separated into chunks. The Club Pita comes with a generous portion of both chicken and ham, so it’s rather meaty for a club sandwich.
The quinoa salad was a new addition in Summer 2013. By default, the salad doesn’t come with any meat, but you can add meat, such as the grilled chicken listed above, for about $ 2 extra. With or without additional meat, the portion size for the quinoa salad is generous. It’s possible you might not even be able to finish the salad (yes, salad). I like it because it’s fresh, healthy, and filling.
The sides are good. I like how a lot of broccoli and onion are in the roasted vegetables side. The vegetables are served piping hot and have a nice flavor to them, probably from the sauce they use to cook it. The pasta salad uses seashell pasta and is served cold. It’s tossed, marinated, and comes with many small bits of cheese.
Service is good.
Zoes Kitchen doesn’t have the most flavorful food and sometimes it feels a bit generic, but at least it’s fresh, healthy, and a quick, convenient, and affordable dining out (or to-​go) option.

Mmmm… lunch. +1 on the recommendation for the braised white beans. If you don’t get those, you are crazy. I got myself a Grüben sandwich and the beans to go and I was impressed to see the gal pop a couple napkins and a plasticware kit into the bag. The sandwich was quite filling and very yum!
I also got a side of hummus, which was also excellent. Very tasty and nicely spiced. The only thing was that they needed some chips. Eating hummus with a spoon just doesn’t work well.
