Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe Builds a Better Bowl this Fall

Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe puts the spotlight on Kýpelos with a simple promise: we build a better bowl. Kýpelos (pronounced KEE peh los) anchor the brand’s fall campaign at restaurants nationwide, pairing fresh, thoughtfully curated ingredients that complement one another while still giving guests options to customize their meal. 

Every Kýpelos starts with a choice of basmati rice, pasta with parmesan or quinoa. Taziki’s tops each one with grilled vegetables, crumbled feta, spicy harissa sauce, Taziki sauce and a baked pita chip, then finished with a choice of a freshly prepared protein. New this fall, shaved beef and lamb joins the lineup alongside grilled chicken, chicken kebobs, spicy harissa chicken, grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, Turkish meatballs and falafel. Guests can also build Kýpelos without a protein.

The difference starts in the kitchen. Most fast-casual dining brands rely on ingredients prepared in advance and proteins cooked hours ahead and held for service. Taziki’s refuses to work that way and takes a fresher approach. Proteins are grilled to order, Taziki and harissa sauces are made in-house, and each dish is built by hand with fresh ingredients and balanced Mediterranean flavors, and guests can taste the difference. 

“We believe guests deserve meals that are made for them, not assembled from a production line,” said Dan Simpson, CEO of Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe. “Every Kýpelos is prepared fresh with proteins cooked to order, housemade sauces and toppings, and flavor combinations created to work together. That’s what makes Kýpelos different.”

Taziki’s builds every Kýpelos around thoughtfully paired ingredients that complement one another, delivering a balanced Mediterranean meal with fresh flavor in every bite. Kýpelos are available starting at $8.49 for dine in, drive thru, to go and through the Taziki’s app. For more information and to find a location near you, visit tazikis.com
