Zoes Kitchen

They did not know what gluten was and she didn’t even ask another staff member. I had the menu pulled up and was trying to get her guidance. I walked out did not eat.

They used to be safe and I ate here in and off for awhile but in the recent months it has not been safe. I ordered the shrimp kabobs with rice and veggies and there was orzo pasta with the rice. I called and talked to manager and he said that the orzo pasta and rice are in separate bowls with separate spoons and he didn’t know how that happened. I would not eat here

The food quality has also gone down in the last couple of months

Not careful with cross contamination. Said specifically no pita and they put pita on my plate. Got sick everytime I went there no matter what I ate. No more.

No

The menu on the wall when you walk in doesn’t have the GF items marked, but everything is marked on their online website and they have a paper menu behind the register that has the GF items marked as well. They assured us they would let their kitchen staff know about our order so extra precautions were taken. They have a good number of gluten free menu items. We ordered the chicken kabobs with potato salad and Greek salad sides and a kids meal with grilled chicken tenders and fruit. The food was very good. The woman at the register was helpful but they didn’t know which sauces were GF off hand so you might want to have their online menu pulled up when you order. Their kitchen staff didn’t know which sauces were gluten free either and weren’t super helpful with that. Overall it was a good experience and we would go back.

I heard the manager yell back to the cooks that a gluten allergy was coming, then she made sure that when the ticket printed, they knew which one was mine and I heard her make sure they changed their gloves before touching any part of mine! Very good experience!

I had to get them to remake my salad 3 times on 2 visits. Once they asked me to just take the bread off and eat it.

I find it somewhere between school cafeteria and hospital food quality.

They aren’t trained on cross contamination or have a clue what gluten is.

Almost all the items on the menu are gluten free minus the pita bread. They are each marked. Had the chicken salad and steak kabobs. Very good and didn’t get sick!

Great food at an affordable rate. Menu clearly states allergens. Highly recommend the chicken with turmeric rice and roasted veggies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I said to the guy 3 times to not put pita bread on my order. And when he handed it to me in the bag I asked again and he assured me it there was no pita. We get back to our hotel room and open the box and there is pita. I was not able to eat the salad. I was so mad.

Staff here need better training. And also need to learn how to tell the truth.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do have gluten free options and this used to be one of my favorites, but today I found the wait staff to be unkeep with straggly hair not away from face serving food. The bathrooms were dirty also. I might avoid next time, although I really like Zoe kitchen chains for gluten free options.

straggly hair not put up serving food and the bathroom was dirty.

Very careful! And delicious food!

Always a staple for me when I'm traveling. Most food is GF and they've been attentive to my orders. Healthy and delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is pretty decent. I always order through a manager and specify exactly what I can and cannot eat. The manager always verbally communicates my needs (upon my request) to be completely gluten free to the cooks and I don't have any issues with cross contamination. Being very specific and saying things like "no pita bread" in addition to saying gluten free on the ticket is helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been here several times and the food is always delicious. Their GF items are clearly marked in the menu and they have a bunch of options. I have Celiac and have never gotten sick! Make sure to order “without pita” when appropriate.

I have eaten here many times without any issues. They have items marked in their menu as gluten free. I tell them I have gluten allergy (instead of celiac) and they seem to pass on the information to kitchen.

Found myself at the mall and beyond hungry. Stopped into Zoe’s and boy I was not disappointed! Menu options clearly labeled (GF, Vegetarian and calories) and staff knowledgeable. Fresh, delicious food. I had the shrimp kebabs with marinated slaw and roasted veggies - all for under $11!

Eaten there many times. They take extra precautions and have never gotten sick.

It’s not the best food ever, but it is a good quick meal option for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

My order was brought to the table with pita bread on it, however the shift manager said he was happy to redo the order for me. He did and there were no problems. FYI I did notice on the allergen list that their greek dressing does have gluten. It’s a good place but some extra care needs to be taken by a diner with Celiac’s.

The staff was soo sweet and very knowledgeable. If you ask, the staff will change gloves and clean the space. Great food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I don't recommend this location any more. This use to be my #1 place to eat in Norman, OK. Today was the 4th time my meal has not been gluten free (allergy) this year. They use to get it right every time but this year they haven't been.

Today they brought my shrimp kabobs with pita chips. The server asked if she could just take them off & seemed upset when I asked her to remake my meal. It usually to takes 10 minutes to make a new order but today it only took 2 minutes.I was leary. By the 2nd bite I started getting asthma symptoms. Minutes later I started coughing & my throat started closing... I am ok but I won't eat here any more.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate here for the first time and enjoyed the chicken kabob and sides. I felt the staff was attentive when I said “celiac”. This is an affordable option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have eaten here several times now with no reaction. The chicken salad is very good. I also love the Greek salad (no pita). I often special order a side scoop of chicken salad with a mini Greek salad and they accommodate.

I have eaten here many times through the years. I have never gotten sick. Most dishes can be made gluten free leaving off pita.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The kitchen staff made sure to take precautions to avoid cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The cashier knew what Celiacs is and was able to recommend several menu options. Great atmosphere with a lot of choices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son with celiac has gotten sick twice after eating at this location, even though we ordered items labeled gluten free on the menu.

Been sick from here twice. Staff is rude when you ask questions too.

Celiac friendly?

No

This will be the second time I've eaten Zoe's since going strictly gluten free, and they have been very accommodating both times. I get the Mediterranean Trio bowl with grilled chicken, and substitute extra quinoa for the pesto farro. The cashier immediately told the kitchen that the dish was gluten free, and the manager was knowledgeable about what's in each dish.

I’m newly gluten free and didn’t realize how hard it can be to find gf options at restaurants. Mediterranean is one of my favorite food cultures, and Zoës doesn’t disappoint. They have everything labeled with vegetarian, gf, vegan and whole30 options. It was so so simple to make a whole meal with sides and a main from what’s available as gf, and I didn’t even miss the pita bread (my weakness). I’m not celiac, just gluten sensitive, so I can’t speak on how good they are about celiac, but the options are tasty and great.

Be sure to let them know that you are celiac, and they are careful about cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gf Mediterranean offerings. Grilled salmon kabobs are delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a lot of Gluten free options. Never had a problem eating there.
