" This was my first time at CAVA, and I was pleasantly surprised! I loved everything about this place from the ambiance to the friendly staff. I ordered a grilled chicken bowl and was amazed at how fresh all the ingredients were. I also tried the crazy feta, and it lived up to its name! The service was quick despite the lunch rush, and I left feeling satisfied. I'll definitely be bringing friends here! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA absolutely blew my mind! I went for lunch and was amazed by how fresh everything tasted. The dips were to die for, and I loved that I could customize my bowl with all kinds of healthy options. The staff was not only friendly but incredibly helpful, offering suggestions that turned out to be spot on! The only downside was the line — it got long pretty fast. Definitely will be back for more! I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting CAVA, and I was quite impressed! I had a lovely experience picking out my personalized bowl. The quality of their produce really stood out, and the spices were authentic to the Mediterranean touch. The service was great and quick. A lovely restaurant to consider if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about CAVA, I finally decided it was time to go. I ordered a falafel bowl with all the toppings, and while it tasted good, I was expecting a bit more authentic Mediterranean zest. The staff was nice, but the wait time was longer than I’d hoped on a Friday afternoon. Overall, not a bad experience, but I may try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)
