" CAVA is almost a hidden gem! I can't believe I only recently discovered it. The customization for all the bowls lets you get creative while enjoying fresh Mediterranean flavors. I’m not vegan, but I've tried their vegan options, and they were delicious. I had a little hiccup with my order being mixed up, but the staff quickly rectified it, which showed great customer service. I'll definitely be returning and bringing friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA has become a go-to spot for lunch during my work week! The customizable bowl is perfect for my healthier choices, and I love that they highlight ingredients in their dishes. Recently, I tried their falafel, and it was some of the best I've had—with a delightful crunch on the outside and soft inside. Service is consistently friendly, though during busy times they sometimes get overwhelmed. Despite that, I can’t recommend CAVA enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, CAVA is a must-visit! Their menu offers a fantastic variety of selections. I particularly loved the Harissa Avocado Chicken Bowl, which was both flavorful and filling. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the casual setting is perfect for a quick lunch on the go. The only downside was the slight wait time during lunch rush, but it was worth it. Plus, the staff were friendly despite being busy. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA exceeded my expectations! The customization options for bowls allowed me to create a delicious meal with a variety of fresh ingredients. The falafel was crispy and the red hummus was a standout item. I felt the Mediterranean flavors were authentic and I left feeling satisfied and healthy. The staff was friendly and attentive, making this a truly enjoyable experience. I will definitely return next time I'm in D.C.! My only complaint would be the seating, which was a bit cramped during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found myself at CAVA with friends and we all agreed the food is fantastic! The customization is amazing. I had the roasted beet and chickpea salad and couldn’t believe how fresh the ingredients tasted. Moreover, the service was impeccable; our server was cheerful and offered great suggestions. Everyone left satisfied with their meals. In terms of pricing, I felt it was reasonable for the quality and portions. Highly recommend this place if you're in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first trip to CAVA, and I must say I enjoyed every aspect. The menu is very well-designed and offers plenty of fresh options. I went with the braised lamb over basmati rice, and it was easily one of the best bowls I have ever had. The atmosphere is lively and casual, just what you're looking for in a quick meal. I can’t wait to spread the word about this amazing find! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA offers something truly unique in the fast-casual scene. The Mediterranean-inspired bowls cater to a variety of tastes, and everything I tried was delicious. From the red pepper hummus to the pickled vegetables, every single component elevated the meal! Though it was busy when I visited, the staff handled it seamlessly. I'll definitely make a return visit so I can try more combinations. " (*Curated Review*)
