    What a great experience! Let me just admit it... this was my first visit to Cava. *shame* As much as I have heard about Cava and their greatness, I usually run into one when I'm on the way out of the area. But on this day, I found myself starving and less than 10 minutes away from Cava so I figured, "Why not?!" I have visited this plaza before but on this day it was such a pain to find a parking spot! I ended up parking in front of another restaurant and I was lazy and hungry enough to consider going there instead of walking across the parking lot, lol. BUT, I stuck to my guns and went for the food I came there for. Upon entry, Cava was buzzing with customers but not overwhelming regarding the sound or crowd. Cava is one of those assembly-line, build your own kinda restaurants that I, personally, am a fan of. But it's Mediterranean style. Before visiting, I had heard so many great things about them so I was ready to dig in, but I wasn't ready for all of the great options! You have the choice of grains, greens or both for your base, various dips, proteins, veggies and more into your bowl or wrap, or you can opt for the house specialties. I decided to build my own with a combo of greens/grains, braised lamb and almost all of the veggies because they all looked SO good. My bowl ended up being so delicious. I wish I would have asked for a few more spoonfuls of veggies and lamb, but I know to do so next time. It wasn't that they skimped, but they were just so good, I wanted more. The combination of everything just meshed so well together, I thought I was taking my bowl to go but after sitting to take a few bites, I looked up and had eaten like 75% of it. Oops! Service was also exceptional. The young lady who started my bowl was so patient with me as I am always so indecisive, especially at a new place. She told me what her favorite dips were and I immediately went with those (and loved them all). When I went to the ladies room, the cashier even let me leave my food and drink near her (because who wants their food tainted by the bathroom?!) The restaurant was clean, not incredibly loud and filled with natural light. It was a great place to enjoy a peaceful solo lunch after a self care appointment. Now I see what all the hype is about!

    I had a really uncomfortable experience here that completely ruined what should've been a normal visit. The manager " Kay Jay" approached me in a hostile, aggressive manner that felt totally uncalled for. Instead of calmly addressing the situation, they came at me with an attitude that was confrontational and disrespectful, making me feel talked down to and unwelcome. As a customer, you expect professionalism, especially from management, but this was the exact opposite. The way I was spoken to made me feel embarrassed and stressed, and it was clear there was no interest in resolving anything respectfully. Because of this interaction alone, I won't be returning, and I'd caution others to be prepared for how you will be treated by Kay Jay the manager if there's any issue. If I could rate my experience a negative one, I would.

    Outside of the Cava. I believe the accessible entrance is on the side.

    Quin & Samantha were fantastic! I ordered on the app and a few items were out but Quin was super patient and helped me figure out what to replace them with. There was no wait. I appreciate how Quin and Samantha took their time with my order because a different Cava location that won't be named always misses an item (or 2) and hands it to me anyway. Not here! This is my favorite location by far and I plan to come back!

    Excellent fast casual restaurant. Very fast service, the food was really good and the portions were quite generous for the price.

    Oof really underwhelming--Food and service need improvement. The staff were unkind and mumbling as I was trying to order. Then this is what I got. I paid $14 for this bowl... never again. Very disappointed in this new location.

    Half empty. No lettuce, even when I paid for extra.

    I have given this place so many opportunities to get my orders right. Each time, they fail. The bowl arrives half empty every time, even if you order extra greens and toppings!! Don't order extra avocado, you will never get it. Don't order a drink. You won't get it. Don't order the free pita. You will never receive it. I have ordered from this location countless times because it is close, but I will have to start ordering from other locations. I'm so tired of this. Literally NEVER. I have ordered at LEAST 10 times from this place. If you can't read the tickets at least put enough greens to have a full bite. Hate to be the spiteful guest, I work in food and bev. But over 10x is insane. Get it together. Plz

There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

We were greeted by smiles and a welcoming team at the host table and I quickly appreciated the Mediterranean charm of the restaurant -- I felt like I could have been in Rick's Cafe Americain or the Blue Parrot! The dim lighting offered a great blend of intimacy and privacy, while still letting me see the people at my table and the food! And the food! My goodness, the food! We had a wonderful sampling of shared appetizers. The hummus and Dill labneh were solid and would have been deemed more than worthy by my Lebanese grandmother! Olives were a revelation, and were done in a preparation that included pomegranate which paired really well with the brine of the olives! The star of the first round, however, was the whole cauliflower, roasted and spiced. Without reservation, I can say it is the most I have ever enjoyed cauliflower - and I shall return for it again! I was already full by the time my falafel arrived for my main course. Falafel was exactly as it was supposed to be, and it was good. I ate it all, and then, a la Violet Beauregard upon leaving the chocolate factory, had to be rolled out of the restaurant! Our server and his food runners were all gems! The manager also came by to chat with us a couple of times. Great people at Delbar!

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.
