Zoës Kitchen - N. McAllen

Tasty food, quick and professional service.Naomi was a great host

I don't know where the average of 5 stars come from! Valley people normally have a very good palate but apparently not with the food at this place.Because the restaurant was uncomfortably cold, We chose to eat outside which was unfortunate because of very loud music coming from the restaurant loudspeakers and because of the flies and gnats that are prevalent this time of year.Although there was outstanding service at the front counter, this is the only good thing I can say about this restaurant. The food was simply horrible.We made four orders. Two steak shish kabobs, one falafel tomato sandwich and one Greek Chicken Pita wrap. Each plate came with a side. We chose roasted vegetable, cauliflower rice and Tumeric Rice. I forget the third. All of the food was lukewarm (as in sitting around) not cooked to order. Grilled onions on all of the platters was old.The steak on the shish kabobs was sinewy, under cooked, tough, barely warm and not edible. These shish kabobs had been sitting around for us to order, they were definitely not made to order. At the price we paid for the shish kabobs, I expect quality meat and fresh vegetables, not something sitting around waiting for someone to order. This is inexcusable!The falafel sandwich, while attractive, had a strange taste I could not get used to. I did not finish the sandwich. The falafel was undercooked and soft. For those who have not eaten falafel, falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty-shaped fritter in Middle Eastern cuisine made from ground chickpeas, broad beans, or both. It is supposed to crispy and hot! This was just a ball of something cooked some time ago, again, waiting for us to drive up to order. Horrible!While I normally eat three times at a restaurant before I write a critique, this is a rare exception on my part since I have not had food this bad in a very long time. I will not make this poor, expensive mistake again by eating at this store again. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.Do not waste your money here until they fix their deficient kitchen.

For a 1st time customer I was little disappointed with the less than Mediterranean flavor of my order. The salmon kabobs were tasteless, no seasoning added. The salmon had a fishy taste like the skin was still attached so the flavor was unpleasant. I ordered extra kabobs but there was no extra sauce added. I really needed more sauce to cover the flavor of the salmon. The pita and hummus were extremely small portion but The Salad was delicious and so were the grilled vegetables.

Great place for a fresh lunch with a helpful staff. Sasha helped guide me through the menu as it had been a min since I have been here. She really put the S in service, something that you don 't see anymore.

My husband and I have been coming here for a long time..We love the food variations and it’s a plus because it’s also healthy!! Customer service is just great we always get greeted with smiles !! It’s a must go place if you are in the mood for healthy eating.
