Restuarant Review: Zoe’s Kitchen
With locations in Reston and Ashburn, Zoe’s Kitchen fuses Mediterranean cuisine with self-proclaimed “southern hospitality” in a casual dining setting.
Among the most popular offerings at Zoe’s are the Chicken Rollups (with feta, caramelized onions, tomato, and salsa), the Chicken Orzo Pomodorina (with orzo pasta and Italian tomato sauce), and the Protein Power Plate (featuring flat-grilled chicken over a bed of slaw). Frequently ordered sides include white and wheat pita chips, the braised white beans, and the pasta salad.
One option Zoe’s provides for families are its ‘Mediterranean Family Meals.’ For either $30 or $40 (serving 3-5 and 4-6 respectively), large groups or families can choose one entrée from a list of four, two sides, and a choice of pita bread, Greek salad, and cucumbers.
Notable about Zoe’s menu is its vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options, and over half of the menu items fall into one or more of those categories. Additionally, Zoe’s offers a nutritional and allergen guide for all its meals, making it a perfect choice for both picky eaters and individuals with severe dietary restrictions. Zoe’s extensive ‘Simply 500’ menu–consisting solely of items containing 500 or fewer calories–is another highlight for fans of low-impact meals.
Zoe’s also has popular catering options. Providing party trays and individually-boxed lunches, Zoe’s is a viable option for any local business looking to offer a fresh twist on the traditional company-lunch fare.
