" As someone who loves Mediterranean cuisine, CAVA is a great addition to the dining scene. I wasn't sure what to order, but upon a staff member's recommendation, I opted for the spicy lamb meatballs. The plate was generous, with enough for a good meal. However, my experience was marred slightly by the chaotic atmosphere of a busy lunchtime. Nevertheless, the food quality made it a worthwhile outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for CAVA given all the positive feedback. Upon arriving, the place had a nice vibe, and the offerings looked fresh. I ordered the vegan bowl, and while the flavors were nice, I found the portion sizes a bit lacking for the price. Service was okay, but I expected a little more attentiveness from the staff. Still, I might give them another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to CAVA was quite pleasant. I tried the pita with tzatziki and falafel. The falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just how I like it. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the food was worth the wait. If you’re looking for a fresh Mediterranean meal, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family to CAVA for dinner, and everyone found something they liked. The atmosphere was cheerful, and we appreciated the extensive menu. However, the food could be improved; while fresh, my chicken was a bit too dry. The service was outstanding, which somewhat made up for the food. Overall, a mixed experience that I would still consider revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA is a bright spot in my lunch routine! I love how I can tailor my meal exactly to my preferences. The roasted veggies truly shine with their intense flavors. I had a minor issue with my service—there was a slight delay—but the staff handled it great with their positivity. It's a nice place to unwind amidst a busy day! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA exceeded my expectations! I ordered a bowl packed with a variety of color and flavors—everything from roasted corn to fresh greens and a perfect drizzle of tahini. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out. Service was quick, and I appreciated the staff’s willingness to customize my order. I definitely see myself becoming a regular here. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I was satisfied with my visit to CAVA. The atmosphere was warm and the staff polite. I ordered a falafel wrap, but the falafel was a bit dry for my taste. The service was attentive, and I could tell they put effort into everything they do. I will likely give them another try on a day I'm craving something different. " (*Curated Review*)
