Kairos Mediterranean to open late April, early May

The first Mediterranean-focused restaurant in Northern Tallahassee, Kairos Mediterranean, is debuting in Market Square come spring.

The restaurant will offer casual and healthy cultural food options to the Capital City. 

Kairos is owned by Cary Chastain, a Cairo, Georgia, native.

Chastain owns several other locations all across South Carolina, offering its Greek and Moroccan cuisine menu.

Lissy Shortall, Kairos’ public relations representative, says,“The goal of every Kairos location is to keep people moving forward and eat healthy food in a way that is inexpensive, quick, but never lacking in flavor or quality.”  

The restaurant was named “after a suggestion from a consultant who said it meant “supreme moment” in Greek,” according to Shortall.

Chastain loved the concept, especially given the name of his hometown and the fact that several friends of his referred to him as “Cairo” from time to time. 

According to Shortall, Chastain grew up visiting the Market Square shopping center all the time, so “opening the Tallahassee location feels like a very full-circle moment.”

While each location is special to Chastain,“this one is particularly sentimental and exciting.” 

Kairos’ menu features classic Greek favorites, including food that’s “energizing” and “easily craved,” according to Shortall.

You can order anything from classic pitas to Moroccan-style bowls, to feta fries, frozen Greek yogurt, to falafel and Tzatziki, to pita chips and a variety of spreads, and more.

Ultimately, this restaurant’s goal is to “bring fantastic Greek food to Tallahassee that will be looked at as a desirable option for all moments of life, especially those that require energy throughout the day.

The restaurant’s opening at 1415-102 Timberlane Road is quickly approaching.

Per Shortall, “As of right now, we are intending on Kairos’ opening to be late April or early May, and we are very excited!”
