    Garlicky Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Kai D.

    First time at this Cava. And I can tell you, the staff was cool to me. My friend had never had Cava so I wanted him to have the whole experience. The staff was patient w. Him when he asked questions and was helpful. When another person came in line, another staff member came to assist. The other customer was patient too since it was my friend first time. 5/5 for service. At the end, He ended up liking Cava and will definitely return back! I ordered the garlicky chicken shawarma and it was so good. I ordered extra sauce but it was my fault for not asking for more rice in the beginning. Knowing I love sauces. The new cinnamon pita chips were good as well. 5/5 for food quality. We ate outside and I wished someone would have came out to wipe tables. The tables were not like filthy. Crumbs and remnants of previous customers food. Also take out the overflowing trash can. 2/5 I hope everyone had a good experience as me as far as with service and don't forget to scan the QR code on the register for a survey.

    A good fast-casual spot for a healthy, flavorful & customizable meal. I came with my Sister, who loves Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita. For the Vegans slim options of Falafel, Roasted vegetables & Roasted white sweet potatoes. From the crisp greens & grains to the perfectly seasoned proteins (per my Sister), everything is high quality & full of flavor. The toppings and mix-ins, like roasted vegetables, crunchy chickpeas & tangy olives, really elevate the meal, making each bite interesting & tasty. The portion sizes are generous without feeling overly heavy, making it a great option for lunch or dinner. The ability to customize each bowl means there's something for everyone, whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, or just looking to mix things up. I do appreciate the ability to make your meal exactly how I want it--each visit feels like a new, fresh experience. The service is always fast & friendly. The atmosphere is casual & clean, with a modern vibe. A good place for healthy food, whether you're in the mood for a big, hearty bowl or just need a quick, fresh bite.

    I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but it's important for customers to know what to expect, especially when dining out has become such an expensive experience. CAVA is often hyped as delicious and worth trying, but one consistent issue I've encountered at several CAVA locations in Atlanta, particularly the Perimeter location, is the poor customer service. When you walk into a restaurant, a warm greeting goes a long way--especially since staff don't know if it's your first time visiting. Unfortunately, the workers at this location often seem to have a negative attitude. Asking a simple question feels like an inconvenience to them, as if you should already know the menu. Good customer service is about more than just serving food. It's about being knowledgeable, courteous, and providing an overall pleasant experience. At this location, the staff consistently appear unhappy, and if you ask them to create a bowl, they give very small portions. If you request more, their reactions are visibly negative. Dining out should be a positive experience, with good food and great service. When customer service is lacking, it makes customers hesitant to return. As good as CAVA's food may be, something needs to change in their customer service training--especially at this location. Just showing up is not enough; customers want to feel like they're valued. If this doesn't improve, CAVA will likely lose me as a customer and future ones.

    Steak harissa bowl

    The food was good . The service was HORRIBLE. I ordered my food online at 12. Pick up email for 12:15. Got my food at 12:45. I was told the pick up time does not matter. The manager began asking for names instead of times and making orders out of order. When I explained ppl were here at different times she cut me off and rolled her eyes. The ambiance was chaotic. When I arrived there were 16 people in line. They ALL got their orders before any of the 12 people waiting for online orders. I ordered one bowl and a drink. I don't think I'll come back here.

    As someone who picks up from this location once or twice a month, I'm pretty surprised at the rating. I usually order on the app, and have never had an issue with my order. The few times I've ordered at the counter have gone well too. Quick service, they get it right, store inside is clean. And of course the flavor of the food is top notch in fast food/fast casual. Lots of variety to customize your bowl, and a lot of flavors you don't find at other similar restaurants. I'm definitely a fan of CAVA, and have no reason to stop coming to this particular location in Perimeter.

    I love this Cava location & it's staff! First, Cliff & his staff are amazing! They are always so nice and courteous while paying attention to details when it comes to my order, every single time! I visit the location often and Cliff and his staff are always so attentive to all my request for my bowls. They are always made to perfection! Second - this location is always so clean. The stations are always prepped so nicely and full! I never see any messes & the staff is quick to restock / make sure that all the napkins, utensils and drinks are filled! Doesn't matter what time of the day it is! Cleanliness is a big deal for me and this location hits it on the mark! Lastly, Cliff & his staff are FAST. There's usually a lunch rush sometimes, but other than that, they usually usually take care of the lines quickly without mistakes to orders. 10/10, thanks for all you do Cliff! Please keep it up. A raise is needed for this man!

    Harrisa Steak Bowl
    Ena C.

    I don't frequent Cava as often as some people, but when I decided to go here yesterday, I decided that I wanted something healthy. I had just had a good workout. I go and I order the harissa steak bowl which was almost $20 with the drink. I ended up having to wait until the steak was finished being prepared. Once I got my bowl I got my drink and headed out only to get home and find hair in my food. In 2025 as expensive as things are to find hair in your food tells me that nobody is being strict on the employees about food preparation and the proper way to handle food. I was starving and had taken medication which required me to take with food and had to go all the way back to the store and get my money refunded and figure out what I was going to eat. I was disgusted. And sadly, there were so many customers in there ordering food and I wanted to yell to the top of my lungs "Don't eat here". No one should ever have this experience when spending their money in a restaurant. I'm glad I pay attention the way that I do otherwise this could have made someone physically sick. Although I got a full refund, I will never be back there to eat or probably not to any, Cava ever again.

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.

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.
