" I first visited CAVA last week, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The way you can customize your own bowl reminds me of Chipotle, but the Mediterranean flavors are a delightful twist. I went for the saffron rice with harissa chicken, topped with a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables and their crazy feta sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor! Plus, the staff were incredibly friendly and offered great recommendations. I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about the falafel wrap I had at CAVA! It was perfectly crispy and paired with a medley of fresh vegetables that made every bite enjoyable. The tzatziki sauce they offered on the side complemented it beautifully. My friend ordered a rice bowl and was equally impressed. The environment was modern yet cozy, the perfect spot for lunch. This is definitely a new favorite spot for both of us; I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard so much about CAVA, I was excited to finally try it out. I arrived during lunchtime, so the place was bustling, but the staff handled it well. I ordered a Greek salad bowl with various toppings and was impressed by the freshness. However, I did notice that they were running low on some ingredients, which was a bit disappointing. The dining area was clean and inviting, making it a pleasant place to eat. Definitely worth another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at CAVA. While I loved the concept of building my own Mediterranean bowl, the execution fell a bit short during my visit. The service was quite slow, and I felt rushed to make my selections. The ingredients were fresh, but my bowl was a bit on the smaller side for what I paid. I think I fell victim to bad timing as it was quite busy, but I hope for a better visit next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try CAVA for date night. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of options available. After some deliberation, I went with the recently introduced spicy chicken bowl and my partner enjoyed a roasted vegetable pita. Each bite was incredibly satisfying! The only downside was the crowd; it took a little while to get our food. Still, the freshness of the ingredients made up for the wait. We'll definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, the food at CAVA is delicious. I had their lamb meatballs with extra tzatziki, and it was just the comfort food I was craving. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, which makes it an enjoyable place to try. I am looking forward to trying different combinations on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This location of CAVA certainly has its ups and downs. On one hand, their healthy Mediterranean fare is really tasty. On the downside, you can end up waiting far too long for your order, especially during rush hours. I hope they'll work on their service to make the dining experience more enjoyable.
