" I took my family out to Cava for dinner, and it did not disappoint! The variety of bowls and toppings offered were impressive, giving everyone the opportunity to build exactly what they wanted. I ordered the steak bowl, and while the steak was super tender, I felt it could have used a bit more seasoning to really shine. Nevertheless, the staff were accommodating and made the experience enjoyable. I appreciate the health-conscious approach to their food offering as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cava is a fun place to grab some tasty Mediterranean food. I tried their lamb meatballs for the first time, and they were packed with flavor! Each bowl allows for customization, which I really enjoy. My only concern was that the seating can get quite crowded during peak times, which may deter some diners. But the atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff are friendly, making it a great atmosphere for a casual meal. Highly recommend the bowls here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical about trying Cava since I often find fast-casual chains a bit lackluster in terms of authenticity. However, after my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised! I had a bowl with both saffron rice and lentils, and the staff were helpful in recommending additions that complemented my meal. The atmosphere was lively but can be noisy, especially at lunchtime. Will definitely return for another flavorful meal soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cava has an inviting atmosphere with a diverse menu that draws me in. I had the chicken bowl with all the trimmings and the flavors did not disappoint! Plus, the staff were a breath of fresh air; they paid close attention and made sure my order was spot on. Prices felt fair for the quality provided. Overall, I loved my experience and wouldn’t hesitate to return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cava for lunch today and it was fantastic! I built my own bowl with roasted vegetables and spicy harissa sauce. The individual toppings were fresh and flavorsome. I can't say enough about the staff; everyone was so cheerful and eager to help. I would say the portion sizes were quite generous, which is always a plus in my book. Overall, a definite hit in my dining experiences! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a splendid experience at Cava with my partner! Everything was so fresh and well-prepared. We both opted for the bowl as it allows for maximum customization, and we loved our choices. The staff was incredibly helpful in making our selections. I must say, the vibe is casual and charming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal. I recommend it to anyone who loves a fresh take on Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cava has quickly become one of my go-to places for lunch in Kendall Square! It's like a healthy version of a fast-food place, allowing you to build your own Mediterranean bowl filled with fresh, colorful ingredients. I particularly enjoyed their spicy lamb, which had the right amount of heat. The only downside I noticed was that on busier days, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, which made my wait longer than expected. Nonetheless, the quality of food made it worth it. Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
