" CAVA didn’t quite hit the mark for me this time. The bowl I ordered was bland, and I found a hair in it, which really turned me off. On the positive side, the staff was very apologetic and made an effort to resolve the issue. I would recommend giving it another shot as this is a rare experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a beautiful experience at CAVA. The space was bright and inviting, making my visit even more enjoyable. I tried their lamb meatballs and adored the combination of spices in each bite. However, I will say, the wait for food during peak hours was lengthy. Nonetheless, the staff kept things moving smoothly under pressure. A great option for those seeking healthy Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at CAVA, and it was mostly positive. The food was good, but I expected a bit more spice in my harissa chicken. However, my bowl was fresh, and the presentation was appetizing. The atmosphere was nice, just a little noisy due to peak lunch hour. I would definitely give this place another shot to taste even more interesting flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often find it challenging to find a quick and healthy bite, but CAVA checks all the boxes for me! I love their customizable bowls, which let me mix various ingredients based on my cravings. My favorite combo includes the spicy harissa chicken, chickpeas, and lots of fresh greens. Every visit feels like a treat. The atmosphere is casual, too—perfect for a quick lunch break! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had always wanted to check out CAVA after hearing so many great things, and I'm glad I finally did! The food was very fresh, and the options are tremendous. I had a great experience overall, but I did find my service slightly lacking—waiting longer than expected. Regardless, I would happily recommend it to my friends. " (*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*)
