Zoës Kitchen

I still go here and i rly love it. Manager is quick to fix any issues. Sorry to see the pita pizza go. Since ur receipts print out our names you might take the time to ask us how to spell it. I always state my name ia spelled wrong and no one gives a f. Could be more positive vibe-​wise. U also could advertise ur app. I’ve missed out on tons of goodies.

This is my healthy go to spot for lunch! Salmon/​shrimp kabobs with salad, cucumber riatta & hummus… plus I get extra pitas.
My food is always full of flavor and delicious! I don’t think I could ever get tired of this place!
The staff are always friendly & delivers service with a smile! Half the time they offer me a free drink with my meal.
Zoë’s is definitely worth a try!

Service was quick and food was great.
Had the salmon kebab, and we shared it between the two of us: portions are huge!
Salmon was a bit too oily, but overall a great and healthy food option.
I wish there was a Zoes in downtown DC!

My take out order today included pita bread that was rock hard. So why 4 stars? This was out of ordinary. I called, my comment was taken, and I doubt it will happen again. The food is very tasty (salmon kabobs, Gruben, braised beans are excellent) and reasonably priced for the quality, service excellent and I’ll be back soon. If there was a food fairy who would grant me 3 wishes, they would be less salt in the otherwise great rice, more pita (when it’s fresh) with kabobs, and put Zoe’s within walking distance of my house.

Phenaminal food!

Most of the few dozen Zoe’s I’ve been to are stand alone buildings. Meanwhile, this location is nestled into a shopping small. Fortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that the food is far better than you’d expect from a modern, stylish fast food chain. And while it is (and a large chain) this isn’t your typical fast-​food chain (even though the food comes out as quick as McDonalds). Instead it’s known for quality and fresh food, great service and entrees that are largely healthy.
This particular location (I’ve been to about three dozen of their stores — at least) excels at providing friendly service in a clean, upbeat atmosphere. The food is always fresh, healthy and tasty. Another factor to consider is everything is made fresh, from scratch, on site — daily. The food is brought in every morning, prepped and served fresh. Yes, we did say fresh, every day. Where else can you find that from a fast-​food type chain that also kicks out great tasting fast food that isn’t fried, yet is affordable?
The biggest obstacle to overcome at Zoes is what to order. There’s so many tasty items on the menu it’s hard to choose one. Normally, we start with the Hummus Trio. It comes with regular, basil pesto and red pepper hummus, all of which are amazing. Keep in mind, they make this on site — a fact that’s obvious with each bite.
As for entrees, we enjoy all of them, but are partial to the Grilled Chicken Marinara, Chicken Roll Ups, Beef and Chicken Kobobs and Tossed Greek salad. On the other hand, there’s nothing on the menu that doesn’t reach your table cooked to perfection, well seasoned, fresh and with a friendly smile.
Zoes is ideal for couples, families, young adults and children. There’s something that was made in house for everyone and packed with enough flavor to keep you coming back. It’s a fast food chain that doesn’t taste like fast food.

Updating to bump up a star. I’ve been back a few times now out of sheer convenience and it’s growing on me. The chicken kebobs and the greek salad are now two of my go-​to items. The house made dressing is quite good and the rice is super fluffy. It’s our «uh we have nothing for dinner and want to be somewhat healthy somewhere nearby» option. Worth stopping in for sure.

I have eaten here a few times. I’ve gotten the chicken and steak kabobs each time. The veggies are fresh and tasty, but the meat most of the time is pretty tough. I’ll probably get my kabobs from somewhere else in the future.

Second time I’ve eaten here, and I’m really impressed. Food is good and fresh, service is quick, menu extensive, environment is clean and inviting!

They didn’t bring the soda I ordered and after emailing and being told they would, they never came back. Didn’t get a refund either. The potato salad was very good. The Gruben was, it could have been a little meatier but was not so bad.

They are getting careless, on more than one occasion! Beginning to lose faith in Zoe’s. Service is getting sloppy with stale bread and missing items to-​go. Sometimes the steak is so hard you cannot chew it. Sometimes it’s immaculate and filet mignon-​like. I’m torn, really.

Delicious and fresh Mediterranean dishes and great prices. If you like their food, you should download their app to get points for goodies!

I LOVE the protein power plate from Zoes Kitchen. It is an easy and delicious go-​to for any health conscious consumer, but non-​health-​nuts will love it in equal measure. I am also a fan of the roasted red pepper hummus and pita. This location is pretty big and yet never too busy. I think the fact that it is tucked away in the corner of the shopping center makes it a little more low key, but true fans will seek it out. Again, parking could be better, but what can I say, I’m cray for Zoe-​ays!

So happy Zoe’s made it to Northern Virginia! DO get their steak kabobs, cole slaw and braised white beans… some of the best you’ll have. Cole slaw is NOT mayo-​based and has feta cheese in it! DO get the protein power plate if you’re a low-​carb person. It comes with grilled chicken, caramelized onions and their wonderful cole slaw. Highly recommend this place for lunch or for catering parties as their homemade sides and dressings set them apart. DON’T bother with the salmon which is just ok… go with the steak, chicken or shrimp. In that order.

A nice alternative option to the burgers, fried chicken and sandwiches of typical fast food with some caveats. While I like the menu offering several salad options and grilled kabobs, the prices are a little inflated for a counter service restaurant. For instance the steak kabob platter is more expensive than a steak, salad and side at Outback with table service. In their effort to be interesting, they sometimes make odd combinations with some of the salads having pasta or potato salad in them. I really like the concept of the salad and hummus platter, but the portion size is a little too small to be filling as I never have enough pita for all the hummus and the salad could be bigger. These aren’t warstoppers and the only true negatives I’ve experienced have been from the kitchen, not the front of house staff. I’ll ask for no onions and get the anyway or some other mix up, but they always fix it in the end. I’d give 3.5 stars if I could as while I like the food and the atmosphere, the kitchen can be inconsistent and it’s not a great value.

OK really describes this place. It’s better than, say, panera, but you also don’t get as much food quantity. I got a tuna pita and a side greek salad. The best part of the meal was using the Zoes homemade greek dressing on my salad — great homemade dressing mix that they use.
The tuna pita was underwhelming. A small (ish) amount of tuna that was nonetheless good, but they packed the pita full of lettuce, So much so that I had to dig a bunch out and just add it to my salad. After the manual adjustment to the ratio it wasn’t a bad sandwich. A little bland but I just threw a few spurts of the dressing on that as well and it was all good!
Decent food, a bit healthier of an option, but nothing that I’d find myself thinking about the next day.

came for a quick lunch, nothing really impressed about the place
i got a mediterranean chicken and bf got a spinach roll with chicken. both were ok, nothing amazing, the sides we got were meh: pasta salad was bad, rice was ok
parking is a lot and its free
ambiance is kind of a cafeteria style
price is reasonable
overall, glad i tried it, not coming back

Where have you been alllllll my life? This place is awesome. The food is definitely on point. I had the salmon and shrimp kabob with rice and mixed veggies. The customer service was pretty good as well. You know me, I live for courteous service. But that food tho!!! I mean I am absolutely a fan and I recommend. It’s a quick and healthy menu choice. Conveniently located on King St by I-​395. Go get yourself some life with these kabobs!

It’s normally quiet in here except for when there are kids. I get the chicken pita sandwich normally with Greek salad. I come here when I want a taste of Greek food but don’t want to cook. You order in the front and they come out and give you the food. It’s generally dim in here and quite chilly. Bring a sweater.

great food and service here!
i dont know why i didnt have this even once while living in VA for 10 years! this place is becoming one of my favorite eateries. their food is not too heavy on your stomach but it comes with a pretty large portion! i always feel great and healthy leaving the restaurant. they also bring the food to you, so you just pick up your number and wait at any table.
keep up the great work! thanks!

I found this place on Unilocal while on lunch break. It was a great find. I got the orzo salad and it was huge! I only ate ¹⁄₃^rd of it. I saved the rest for later. They focus on healthy and fresh ingredients. My salad definitely tasted fresh. I would go back to try the other stuff on the menu.

Overrating this place a bit as there are much better restaurants with four stars. This is because it is unique to find a takeout Greek chain and as long as your expectations are in line this is good solid food for a really good price. Something different from subway for healthy options and still tasty without going toward a burger and fries.
The salmon and other skewers were really flavorful and came with hummus and pitas and a salad. The pat sandwiches were good and a great price for what you get. You may want to ask for extra sauce if you like it that way. Also add some side or app if you are really hungry if just getting the sandwich pita.

This place is excellent for a quick and cheap healthy dinner. I usually get the chicken kabobs which comes with a pretty good sized Greek side salad and yummy rice. Delicious and I usually have leftovers. It’s nice to eat out on the patio or good for take out. I’ve also gotten the large Greek salad but for some strange reason there is a cheesy pasta salad mixed in it. Not my favorite.

They pay attention to the little things… They have Pellegrino in a Glass bottle, they give you a real size water cup, metal utensils, reusable plates when dining in… This all adds up to a good dining experience.
I told the girl at the register that it was my first time and is like an entrée that shines — she recommended the steak skewers entrée.
The meat was done a perfect medium, the potatoes were tasty, but a little too wet/​saucy for my taste (but I like them dry!), and the veggies were fairly tasty too!
I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie — it was soft and chocolatey, but I won’t be ordering it again — it simply doesn’t meet my ‘Gramdma Dibella’s’ Chocolate Chip Cookie standard.
Over all it was ok for the $ 18 I paid. I will be back when I need a quick, tasty, healthy meal; however, I’ll continue my search for a faster, cheaper, healthy ‘faster food’ option.

Ordered through help for delivery. Took pretty long about a hour and a half. I would say it’s more Greek inspired. Food was good, but to me, under seasoned, seemed very plain for the price. We ordered 3 meals, 2 chicken kabobs & 1 chicken gyro and it was over $ 50.

Pros:
Good, fresh food
Fast
Healthy options
Great for vegetarians
Delicious Hummus and Soft Pita
Cons:
I have had temperature issues twice (once room temp soup, once almost frozen veggies)
When dining with friends, things come out as they are ready, so arrival times of dishes are all over the place.
Sometimes it’s not as clean as I like– I am not talking anything major, just tables sit unbussed for a while, straw wrappers sitting around, water marks on silverware, etc.

For some reason I’m torn about this place. I’ve come here numerous time and I like the food. But when I come, I also come with coworkers, so that might mean that I’m rating it high.
No matter…
This Zoe’s is quite pleasant; thus, a good place to come for lunch. It can be crowded, but never so much that the wait for food is long or that it is hard to find a table. As I’m allergic to olives, I haven’t tried any of the true Greek stuff. However, I can say that the chicken salad is quite good. They just don’t give you enough on the sandwich.
What knocks the rating down to four stars for me is that for most people outside of Fairlington, this is a restaurant you have to drive to. In that respect, Shirlington, Skyline, and even the Mark Center have much better options. In general, it is a good enough place to pick up a quick lunch.

I had a great experience at Zoe’s Kitchen the two times I went in recent memory. The food was delicious. Both times I ordered a type of their kabob. The first time I ordered the beef kabob that was absolutely delicious. 2^nd time I ordered the chicken kabob, but with the beef seasoning by recommendation of the staff behind the counter. I am very happy I took her recommendation.
As far as the sides that come with the food; it was more than delicious. I definitely need to take pointers on how the prepped their potatoes. I love the table dressing they have at each table. I have no idea what was in it, but I dosed my food in it.
Service was excellent. I felt they were extremely professional and nice. I totally appreciated the recommendation. The manager is SUPER nice too. He is a great asset to Zoe’s.
Overall, I truly do love their fast casual cuisine. I think this place is doing really well, and I can totally see why.
