In answer to requests by generations of loyal guests for a location in their own communities, Zov opened in Newport Coast, Irvine, and Anaheim. The new locations blend the casual side of the Café while offering some of the signature dishes from the Bistro. The look is upscale, warm and inviting serving lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and happy hour. Both locations also feature take-out and catering. Zov also is represented at John Wayne Airport featuring fresh, healthy, and fast fare for travelers on the go.

A long time contributor to publications such as Bon Appétit, Food and Wine, the Orange County Register, Sunset magazine, and the Los Angeles Times, Zov Karamardian has finally been able to take her writing and cooking passion to the next level with the publication of two cookbooks, Zov: Recipes and Memories from the Heart and Simply Zov.
