| - What a lovely addition to the hustle and bustle or Birkdale. Zoƫ's is fairly new to Huntersville and it is getting good word of mouth so we visited for lunch on Tuesday w/our boys; they do a nice lunch business, not too crowded but seats were getting full when we left and people were calling in To Go orders.
Upon arrival you walk into a bright dining area w/funky light fixtures, modern asthetic, welcoming pillows on bench seats all mixed with art by local kids. It's kinda Panera meets Ikea. This casual environment may give you a false sense of financial security, but be warned, the prices are more in line w/a sit down restaurant like Chili's or Longhorn. However, the food is far healthier and the prices are justified.
My husband had salmon kabobs served w/cucumber salad, a big portion of greek salad, hummus and pita. The salmon was plentiful, big chunks perfectly seared, nicely seasoned and skewered w/zucchini.
I ordered the chicken kabobs and when they arrived, the smell transported me back to the greek kitchens I grew up around. The plate was half covered in a light, fresh greek salad and half covered in rice pilaf w/kabobs and pita atop. The chicken was very tender, mildly flavored and veggies perfectly grilled. Rice pilaf had a nice texture and subtle flavor. Feta on the salad was perfect - not all salt.
The boys shared a grilled chicken/mozzarella wrap served w/their choice of side and a nice, tomato based dipping sauce. They both ate lots and loved their FUZE pinapple banana drink.
The grand total for these three meals was $31 - a bit surprising on your first visit since you order at a counter, but they serve you and bus the tables. The staff is very outgoing and helpful. We left very satisfied, bellies full, looking forward to another visit for a light and healthy meal.
