Zest is wonderful. The first time I visited I truly enjoyed the food and therefore decided to have them cater our 60 guest event. The catering was wonderful. Included multiple dishes and all were delicious including the beeflamb gyros and the falafel. The food was also plentiful and my guests highly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend

Wifes friends from Placerville recommended Zest and if they drive to Folsom then this must be a great place. Yep!! We will return, which says a lot since theres so many restaurants and so little time.... Unassuming location in strip center next to Walmart, dont let that fool you. Go here first chance you get.
