" CAVA is seriously underrated! The way they prepare every bowl reflects their quality. The staff is always cheerful, which contributes to a wonderful dining experience. I recommend the sweet potato and feta dish for something unique. Be aware that during peak lunch hours, the lines can get long. However, it moves quickly, and the food comes out fresh. All in all, a fantastic place for a quick healthy meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited CAVA recently, and I came away feeling a little mixed about the experience. Although the food was healthy, I found myself wanting a bit more variety in flavors. I ordered the chicken bowl, but the seasoning was too subtle for my taste. The place was clean and well-kept, and the staff was all very welcoming, which I appreciated. On a positive note, the portion size was decent, and I left feeling full. Just hoping I can find some bolder flavors if I try again in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying CAVA, and I have mixed feelings about it. While I loved the idea of creating my own bowl, I think my combination didn't mesh well together. The flavors were contrasting rather than complementing each other. However, the environment was cheerful and bright, and the staff was eager to help. I appreciate their customization, but I think it might take a couple more visits for me to find my perfect order! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried CAVA after hearing friends rave about it, and I can now see why! The freshness of the ingredients is top-notch, and the range of customizable options makes it easy to create a meal that fits your cravings. I ended up going with a chicken bowl topped with lots of veggies. My only issue was that I felt the chicken portions could be larger, and it was a bit on the pricey side. Regardless, I walked away feeling satisfied with what I had eaten. I will most likely return for another round very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA has really done it for me! I have been here many times, but the most recent experience truly stood out. I ordered the braised lamb bowl and paired it with a side of spicy feta. The lamb was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth. The freshness of the vegetables was apparent, and I left feeling energized and satisfied. The staff was friendly, and they made great recommendations. While it can be a bit pricey for a bowl, the flavors justify the investment. Plus, they have options that cater to various dietary preferences, which is a great touch! Highly recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited CAVA last week and wanted to share my experience. The food was good but not outstanding. I had the chicken and rice bowl, and while the chicken was cooked well, it lacked seasoning, making it feel a bit bland. The environment was pleasant, and the staff was courteous, but I expected a bit more punch with the flavor. It’s a busy place during lunch hours, and while I was able to find a seat, it got noisy quickly. I appreciate the healthy options but might opt for something different next time just to explore more flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out CAVA after hearing rave reviews, and I think I need to join the fan club! I absolutely loved the flexibility of build-your-bowl concept. I tried the braised lamb with greens, and it was bursting with flavor—so tender! The environment felt cozy, which made it perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The only hiccup was that my order took a bit longer than expected, but the staff was kind enough to keep me updated. This place is definitely on my list for regular meals now! " (*Curated Review*)
