" As a Mediterranean food enthusiast, I have to say CAVA exceeds expectations. The freshness of the ingredients is remarkable, and I appreciate their commitment to authentic flavors. I opted for a bowl loaded with hummus, lentils, and salad, and it was packed with bold flavors. The staff were wonderfully interactive, making recommendations without being pushy. This could easily become my go-to lunch spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently went to CAVA for the first time and my experience was outstanding! The decoration is modern, providing a comfortable and welcoming vibe. The menu offered a vast selection of Mediterranean options. I decided on the spicy harissa chicken and it did not disappoint! Fresh and well-seasoned. My only complaint would be the wait time due to the crowd. I will return especially for those generous portions of flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA is my go-to spot for a healthy meal. I love the flexibility of creating my bowl, making it as light or filling as I want. The Mediterranean flavors are rich and satisfying, but there's variability in the portion sizes. I've had days where I walked out feeling overstuffed and others just a bit peckish. However, the consistently friendly service keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA has become my favorite Mediterranean spot! Each time I visit, I am greeted by friendly staff who make the experience enjoyable. The bowls are fresh and packed with flavor, making each meal feel worth it. The environment is comfortable and clean, perfect for a lunch break. Portion sizes could vary, but the flavor is consistently great! Highly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to CAVA for dinner and we all agreed it was a wonderful decision! The variety was superb; everyone was able to customize their bowls to their taste. I was also impressed with the cleanliness and the decor of the restaurant. Our server was on point with recommendations. If only they could improve on portion consistency, this place would be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited CAVA for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything tasted! The ability to customize your bowl is fantastic, and the flavors are authentic Mediterranean. The staff was courteous, and the ambiance was lively, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal. I would definitely recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to CAVA a few times now and while I love the concept of building your own bowl, I’ve had mixed experiences with the portions. Some days it feels generous, while other times it seems skimpy for the price. Still, the flavors and freshness keep drawing me back. The service is also quite friendly, which makes dining here an enjoyable experience even with the inconsistency in portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)
