The new location expands Kairos’ footprint in the Lowcountry, becoming the company’s fourth restaurant in the region and seventh statewide.
Known for its fast-casual approach to Mediterranean cuisine, Kairos allows customers to customize meals by building their own bowls, pitas or platters using a variety of fresh ingredients, proteins, vegetables and sauces.
According to the company, the concept was created around the idea that healthy eating should be simple and accessible. Kairos emphasizes freshly prepared ingredients and Mediterranean-inspired recipes rather than heavily processed foods.
“People have been enjoying healthy, simple food for centuries in the Mediterranean,” the company states on its website, noting its commitment to preparing food by hand using fresh ingredients.
Customers can start with bases such as romaine lettuce, power greens, spinach, brown rice with quinoa or basmati rice before adding proteins that include Kairos chicken, spicy harissa chicken, meatballs, falafel or slow-cooked leg of lamb.
The menu also features a variety of toppings including grilled red peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, black lentils, chickpea salad and Kalamata olives. Popular spreads include hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush and spicy harissa.
Among the restaurant’s featured menu items are the Recovery Bowl, which combines chicken, meatballs, brown rice, quinoa, lentils, hummus and vegetables, and the Moroccan Bowl, made with chicken, basmati rice, zucchini, red onions and tzatziki.
For pita lovers, options include the Street Pita with Kairos chicken and feta, the Love Triangle Pita featuring lamb, spicy harissa and olives, and Faye’s Pita, which includes falafel, hummus and fresh vegetables.
Salad selections include the Med Caesar and Minga’s Salad, which combines power greens, grilled red peppers, chickpeas, feta, red cabbage and spicy avocado dressing.
The restaurant also offers a children’s menu, fresh juices, teas and specialty beverages, including its signature cucumber water.
Kairos joins a growing list of businesses opening in and around Carnes Crossroads, one of the fastest-growing areas in Berkeley County.
The development has attracted new restaurants, retailers and service providers as residential growth continues throughout the Goose Creek and Summerville corridor.
The Goose Creek location is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
