    The food is always delicious. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The service was EXCELLENT. I was helped by Porche and Amanda and both of them were very helpful, professional, and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I visited this location with a friend for lunch today (10.11.25). The food was prepared fresh & all the ingredients we wanted were in stocked. The employees were friendly but service was very slow. Especially considering there were no other people in line and the restaurant was practically empty. It seems the servers were prioritizing preparing online &/or delivery service orders over those in-store. The outdoor patio was well kept and shaded.

    Came here looking for a satisfying and filling lunch. I got their chicken with white and brown rice with as many of the free toppings I could get. They were very generous with the servings and gave me two sauces on the side too. Staff were friendly and the place was relatively clean. Would certainly come again!

    This was my second time visiting CAVA, and I'm officially hooked! The first time I went, I had no idea what anything was, but the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly--they walked me through building a custom bowl I had seen in a previous review, and the experience was smooth and welcoming. This time, I decided to try one of their curated bowls--the Harissa Avocado--and WOW. It was packed with flavor! The combination of harissa honey chicken, Crazy Feta®, hummus, fire-roasted corn, avocado, rice, SuperGreens, and that harissa vinaigrette was chef's kiss. It's 840 calories of pure deliciousness, and I already know this will be my go-to order from now on. Also, don't sleep on the drinks--super refreshing and pair perfectly with the food. Highly recommend CAVA to anyone who loves bold, fresh, and customizable Mediterranean flavors!

    I had been to the location in Cumming a year ago so was excited to eat lunch here. I loved the chicken sate bowl that I had before and went in expecting to order the same thing. To my surprise the menu changed three weeks ago. Womp womp!! A very kind man wearing a name tag that said Dedric is the reason I stayed He convinced me to take the choose your own adventure route and build my own bowl. I went down the line choosing flavors that I thought I would enjoy, Dedric helped me through the experience, very patiently explaining each of the options on every station as we went. He gave me his opinions and sometimes suggested that I taste an item before I added it to my bowl. My final product was OK, but I think I need more practice with knowing which flavors mix well together. The ingredients are extremely fresh and delicious. I would've rated this a 5 if I had created a better pairing of flavors and enjoyed my bowl more. Honestly, if I lived closer to a Cava, I would eat here enough, that I know what to order.

    I ate here two weeks ago with my manager for a work lunch. I hadn't had a Cava bowl in quite a few months before eating here that day. They are still as good as I'd remembered. I don't know why I went with a personalized bowl rather than a chef-curated signature. This probably derailed the quality of the bowl because I don't know what tastes good together. I added the harissa dip, and it was definitely way too spicy for me. For my drink, I got a blend of strawberry citrus + cucumber mint lime. It was super refreshing and satisfied my thirst fully!

    This CAVA is by far my favorite in Atlanta! The employees are always so nice and friendly, shoutout to Miles and Mohammad for having great energy and being the best servers ever! I prefer this location over the Buckhead location because Buckhead tends to be out of ingredients every time I go, especially falafel. When the Brookhaven location ran out of something, they let us know that it would just be a few minutes and then they brought it out. I love this location, never going anywhere else again!

    Greek gyro

    Quick review: First time visiting Cava and the best way I can explain it is that it's like a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. Below are some pros and cons of my experience: Pros - food was tasty (I ordered a Greek Gyro) - Similar to Chipotle, they have those organic lemonades and teas that pretty much goes well with any meal, definitely prefer that over sodas. Cons - although the food was good, it was a bit overpriced, especially for the portion size. - there is only two menu ideas (gyros and bowls) and seemed to be a limit on the kind of combinations you could do. (I noticed some people building their own bowl, I may try that next time). - the staff were extremely friendly, but unfortunately didn't pretty much caution with being sanitized. They weren't wearing mask and some were even sitting on the counter where food is passed from the kitchen to be served. Overall, the food was good and the service was nice, just the cost and the lack of caution around being sanitized turned me off a bit. But maybe one day I'll give them another try, i mean I still have to build my own bowl!

    So good

    1st time trying cava, the the customer service is top tier . They were very patient with me, I was not sure what to order. The staff went over everything so politely with the best energy, I love this location and the people they have ! Rere is an all star, I will definitely be back soon

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.
