" Absolutely loved my experience at CAVA! This was my third visit, and everything has always been stellar. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I genuinely enjoy the variety of options available. This time I tried the spicy harissa chicken, and it was full of flavor! They even gave me extra pita on the side. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at CAVA last week. The food was good, but it seemed like they were short-staffed. I had to wait a little longer than expected for my order, and it was crowded, making it hard to find a seat. While the flavors were spot on, the service just wasn’t what I hoped for. I might return, but only during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA exceeded my expectations! The tahini sauce is a must and perfectly complements everything. I ordered a lamb bowl, and it was packed with flavor. I did experience a bit of a wait, as they were busy, but the food was so good that I didn’t really mind. I’ll definitely be coming back to try even more of their unique selections! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited CAVA a few times now and overall, I think it's a great choice for lunch. The freshness and variety of choices are my favorites. However, I've encountered some issues with order accuracy. During my latest trip, they missed a dressing I requested, which was disappointing. I still think it is a good restaurant worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly loved my experience at CAVA! This is my go-to spot for Mediterranean food in the city. I especially enjoyed the harissa honey chicken, it was delightful and well-seasoned. The place was bustling with energy, and I loved the vibe. It can get crowded but if you choose to come in off-peak hours, it's an enjoyable meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA is a nice option for Mediterranean. I ordered the chicken and was pleased with the level of flavor. However, I felt that the portion size wasn't a great value for what I paid. All in all, I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but they need to be consistent with their portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Mediterranean fast-casual place in Chicago! Coming from California where I frequented CAVA, I was thrilled to find one in Wicker Park. The food is fresh and honestly just makes me happy. The ambiance is relaxing, perfect for either a quick bite or a laid-back lunch. I love that I can customize my bowls and really get what I want. Authentic and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)
