I had a confusing experience here today. I walked in during business hours (6pm and all 3 of the…read moreopen signs were on) apon entering, a man approached us to say they are closed. He was also very rude about it. What made it more unclear is that less than a few minutes later I was able to call in an order and it was accepted without any mention of closing or switching to takeout-only. After seeing some of the other reviews I see I've dodged a bullet! The place also had a very unpleasant smell.

When we first moved to this area, we tried to eat here but it was closed. While shopping in the…read moreplaza, we decided to finally give it a shot. After placing our order, we could hear the microwave in the kitchen. Kind of disappointing as I was hoping for some authentic Persian food. The Koobideh kabob was very chewy, I only ate a couple bites but couldn't finish. I will say the falafel was really flavorful but not as crispy as I would have like and probably the only thing I kind of enjoyed. The tah dig tasted more stale than crunchy.

Stopped in around lunch time after a full morning of adulting, stomachs were empty. Upon entering I had to go to the restroom. You must get the access code from the staff. Near the start of the line near the drink fridge there was water spilled everywhere. Perhaps a leak or water from the fridge? I don't know. There was a towel out and a wet floor sign. Dangerous. I ordered the Falafel Crunch Bowl - while it wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best. It was mid, like 5/10 and the damn pita crisp cut my gums. I've been in pain since. My lunch parter ordered the Spicy Lamb + Sweet Potato Bowl and she said it was average. All in all, trying Cava was something to do. The hype was not for me. The staff members were helpful.

It was out first time at this place and we could not deicide on what to eat at first. The staff were very friendly and patient as they let us try different things before making a final choice. The place was clean, inviting and only cold since we had just gotten rained out from the Halal festival and were still soaked but with the exceptional customer service from Alizeah who offered to turn the heat up for us before realizing we were getting our food to go. This is the type of customer service that will keep people coming back. She was great! The food was actually really good and very well portioned, one bowl can feed two. The flavors were great however the only down side was the rice. It may have been sitting out too long and should have been changed, it was a bit hard but other than that the food was really really good. We will be coming back and trying other things for sure, thank you Cava for good food and Alizeah putting such a huge smile on our faces.

We started with their fava bean ful (served with pita bread, mint, pickles, tomatoes, and olives.) Then we tried the kafta bowl, hummus from scratch, with a delightful salad completed with a pomegranate molasses. Don't miss the Batata (potatoes perfectly cooked in olive oil.) Everything was well seasoned and traditional flavors and spices. We have needed this place for years. Very wonderful addition to the Katy landscape.

Best thing we tried was the patata harra, simple appetizer kinda, but definitely recommend getting for the table. The flatbreads were all good, I like the deluxe option on the lahmabageen because they make it into a wrap with all the veggies. Bread is fluffy and fresh too. Falafel and fool were alright, nothing special but still enjoyable. Definitely stop by and give it a try! It did take about 26 mins for our food, so just an FYI for Saturday. I'm sure they will become more efficient (they opened recently). Note: place is Halal, it has the stamp on the menu.

I ended up trying Reyhan's Kofta plate and was very satisfied. The meat was very tender, flavorful, and a large portion too. The rice was fluffy and was even better when you mix butter in. The tomatoes and pepper were a great addition to the plate as well. And I liked having the basil on the side for a refreshing palate cleanser. The white sauce was delicious but I wish I had gotten at least two! One little sauce container was definitely not enough for the large portion of meat and rice that they give you. Overall, one of the better Kofta plates I've had!

It's impossible to even take a bite without risking your teeth. * Quality: The breading was completely soaked in grease, yet the meat inside was bone-dry and tough. It felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for days. * Taste: Zero flavor. All I could taste was old, heavy oil. The slogan on the box says "Abu Omar Halal Is The Best," but that is a total lie. This was the worst experience I've had. This "food" went straight into the trash. Avoid this place if you value your stomach and your money. Rating: 1/5

I was in line to order to-go but the lady in front of me had the hardest time paying for her order. After several unsuccessful attempts, another lady came by to take my order so that she could put my order to the kitchen first while I waited to pay. I found that to be extremely considerate of the worker to think to do that. Food came out in about 15 minutes. I was so hungry I ended up deciding to eat in my car. A little disappointed that they didn't include any utensils (nor did they ask if needed any), but thankfully I had some extras in my car. I ordered a chicken kebab and they were nice enough to sub my rice for a salad without extra charge. Also ordered the borani bademjan because I'm a fan of all things eggplant. Everything was delicious. The chicken kebab was juicy, moist, and nicely seasoned. However, my favorite item was hands down the borani bademjan. It had large pieces of smoky grilled eggplants and I love the spiced tomato flavors. Yum! Highly recommend for all eggplant fanatics. The borani came with a piece of nan that was good as well. Overall a great find and will be back to try other items.
