For less than $13, the Greek chicken pita is a steal. This location is very clean and the young woman who helped me was very friendly. The food tasted good and fresh. I'm giving it 5 stars for the category and price point it is in. I walked into a CAVA downtown once and it was a bit grimey so I decided against eating there. However, I read the reviews at this location about it being clean so I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. There is also an app that you can order through and earn points if you come here alot. read more

Wow. I love this CAVA! Mostly because of the workers -- especially Erick, the manager who was so attentive and helpful for something we needed one night. We are so stoked to have this Cava in our neighborhood and will return weekly, at least! read more

This is often our default choice when we want something fast and healthy. Easy parking and a quick, clean place to grab healthy Mediterranean food. Similar concept as chipotle - you can build your own bowl. Love the fresh ingredients and variety of sauces. The harissa chicken is a bit too spicy for me but I may just be a wimp. Outdoor seating is available; however it's on a busy road so we usually eat inside or take it to go. read more

I'm so happy to update my original review--from 2 stars to a full 5--because CAVA Westlake has truly turned things around. The improvement in both service and food quality is noticeable, and it's become one of my favorite go-to lunch spots in the area. The staff is now consistently friendly, fast, and attentive--even during the busy lunch rush. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes clean and satisfying. I especially love the build-your-own bowl with harissa honey chicken, roasted veggies, and that crave-worthy garlic dressing. They've clearly listened to feedback and made real changes. Everything feels better run, and the overall experience is smooth and welcoming. It's a perfect stop when you want something flavorful, healthy, and fast--and now I look forward to going back every time. read more

My family decided to order and pick up some Cava for dinner. They got our order correct this time. Yay!! I ordered my favorite the Harrisa Avacado Bowl. It's always full of flavor and very filling with lots of fresh ingredients. I really like their food. A positive overall experience. read more

I've been walking by this place for years on my way to Tacodeli. I had a tooth extracted last week and wasn't feelin' chomping another tortilla. There it was! A picture of a bowl with salmon, rice, and veggies on the Cava window! A beacon of sore gum relieving tender deliciousness! I kept walking, but then I saw something I'd never seen there before in their outdoor dining area.... People! And they looked like they were enjoying their food. Well, I did it. I went in. I guess I arrived Cava Ignorant. When you walk in, there's a Delivery sign, a Pickup sign, a Catering Sign, and a screen saying download the app to place an order. Not really greeted with what I expected, but what am I? A codger or an adventurer. The food was good and the staff was exceptionally friendly. Give it a try! read more

Friendliest staff at any CAVA in town! Super helpful and patient with a very large order! Highly recommend you come see this crew!!

I love Cava and I have been to most of the Cava's in town. I will now only go to the one on Bee Cave Road. Two days ago I had the pleasure of Kelly preparing my "chicken bowl". Kelly was amazing!! I have not seen that level of customer service in a very long time. It is great when amazing (clean) food comes with amazing service. Kelly is an amazing person and when I visit "My Cava" on Bee Cave Road, I am always happy when Kelly is working. Thank you. Ed read more

This place seems to have good reviews so maybe my experience suffered from doing pickup instead of ordering at the store, but I was not super impressed with my salad bowl. Greens were fresh but the portion was so small! For $15 I would expect the to-go container to actually be full of lettuce at the very least but it looked rather sad when I got to my car to check my order. The flavors were good, I love that you can customize everything, the falafel were super tasty, but it was disappointing to see the amount I got for the price. The lamb meatballs were decent but a little dry- if I went again I'd just get the falafel. Also a small complaint, the pickled red onions were cut very inconsistently with some nice slices and some huge chunks. read more

The food is total and complete garbage for what you pay. My son and I went, just to try something different. I am a complete Riley's fan as far as Lockhart Bbq goes, but I thought I'd try something different for a change. We went through the line getting our beef brisket and sides, not really paying attention to the price. JUST for my son and I , it was $52 dollars. As shocked as I was, I was thinking , "Terry Blacks" it's probably worth it. The brisket was ALL fat, the sides were something you'd get at a flea market, and the tea tasted like instant tea you spoon in from a plastic canister. The restaurant it self was all snazzy and fancy, which explains the cost of the food, to pay for all the frufru. Riley's dinning is simple, and the price is great. I'm paying for the food, not the building like at Terry blacks. As a Lockhart resident for 26 years, I feel I've been there long enough to know good Bbq, and Terry Backs Bbq is NOT it. read more

Yummy, fresh food. Amazing table-side service, staff is extremely patient when ordering, as well! Love CAVA, but I LOOVE this one!! Westlake is definitely doing many things right!! Very light and breezy lobby/ patio as well, with a relaxing atmosphere and mediterranean vibe. read more

Customer service was excellent. Food was great was warm and fresh. The ambiance of this cava was good to.

I dropped by Cava for dinner tonight and got my usual- a chicken bowl with half saffron rice and half romaine lettuce, traditional hummus, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, cucumbers, corn, broccoli, yogurt dill, and a free pita on the side! The workers were super friendly and quick- and they were super understanding when I dropped my sauce on the ground and I had to get a new one. I also placed an online order and they were super quick- the portion sizes were the same in person and online as well! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Keishan was so sweet and grabbed me some great portions !!! Food was great, super dead around 5.

Ah, the Chipotle of fresh Mediterranean food has arrived and it's CAVA. I've heard nothing but good things about CAVA and it's true how yummy and fresh their ingredients are. But I wasn't a fan of their falafels, and I kept on finding myself comparing it to The Kebab Shop (also a chain) and other local falafel favorites that are food trucks or mom-n-pop. I definitely feel like CAVA is geared to the eater who wants the comfort of picking and choosing the assembly process that goes into their bowl like how Chipotle started the trend. However, it's not a place that I think is as tasty or generous with their portions compared to others. The falafel bowl I got with half greens and half grains was colorful and tasty, don't get me wrong...but it wasn't what I thought was delicious or utterly amazing. I think it appeals to the healthy eaters who aren't looking for kebabs or gyros. Which is a shame, because I think the latter have better flavor. They do offer online ordering, drinks and other items like pita chips. The interior and exterior are wonderfully manicured and presented, so you can finish spin class and head over here to refuel. However, I think I've been spoiled with the deliciously crunchy on the outside and moist/not-pasty on the inside falafels I've had over the years, and CAVA's doesn't cut it for me. Kind service though, and dog-friendly on their outside patio which is nice. read more

CAVA - Falafels are chewy and soft...not the kind I like, but super colorful and fresh - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

The bowls are bigger AND better in Texas. No mere leafy greens salad, the options at Cava are diverse, abundant, boldly flavorful, and highly satisfying. Granted, I didn't love the falafel, which were cold and oddly chewy. To give them the benefit of the doubt, they may have just sat food too long. The roasted veggies are definitely the way to go for the best veg option. From there, you can load up on hummus and as many toppings as you want for no additional charge. Pickled onions, kalamata olives, corn salad, cauliflower-quinoa tabbouleh... And on and on. For healthy cravings, they've got this one locked down. read more

CAVA - Build Your Own Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love this place! The staff is so friendly and had great suggestions on what I should try! Will 100% be going back, strongly recommend if you're looking for a healthy, fresh, and yummy option in Westlake!! :) read more

Went to Cava after craving Mediterranean food, and being in the area. Not disappointed at all. They were great about explaining to me what all the different options were and it's like a Chipotle Mediterranean style. The flavors come together any way you like it. Order and customize your bowls to your own personal taste, and next time switch it up or come back and get it just the same way!!! It was delicious, and a good sized portion depending on how hungry you are. Not to mention a healthy alternative to your regular lunch or dinner options! read more

CAVA - Cava bowl to go - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to few places like this in Bay Area with the same concept like Saaj or Halal Guys and this one is so far my favorite. First thing, pricing is great, you can get a bowl for ~$10. The collection of sides are also pretty good, you have a few option for rice, protein (meat ball, chicken, braised lamb) and some greens options (cucumber salad, olives and etc). The only down side is that, it's less Mediterranean compare to other places I've been. From the seasoning to the way they've prepared the meat, it doesn't struck me as a true Mediterranean restaurant. Their saffron rice also doesn't taste anything like saffron ( it's also white not yellow). In general, I would consider it as a quick Mediterranean inspired fast food with fresh ingredients. I'll go back for sure. read more

STEVEN AND HIS TEAM ARE AWESOME! Definitely my go to when I'm in Westlake!! Food is always fresh and quickly prepared read more

I always eat here after my workout session. My option for warm large pita is always these: -roasted white sweet potato half & harissa honey chicken half -Spreads: tzatziki/or Hummus & Harissa -Toppings: fired roasted corn, tomato+onion salad, pita crisps -Dressings: Yogurt Dill & Tahini Caesar Super good. One time I also added a mini pita with slight different variation, I changed the spread to red pepper hummus, instead of regular hummus. It was still very delicious! With this, 993 calories for one large Pita, you obtaining enough nutrients you needed after workout with a full of deliciousness. This was only cost me 10.23 (including tax) with an additional mini pita, was about 13 dollars. What a good deal! read more

Extremely poor customer service. Workers on 8/19 at 7pm were very rude and skimped on portions. See attached picture. Very upset with this visit to what I expected to be a nice CAVA in the suburbs. Stick to the downtown Cava's until they find better workers. read more

CAVA - Grilled chicken bowl.... Half the size of a normal bowl at any other location. - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I needed to get a CAVA gift card and proceeded off to West Lake Hills to get it and to try this place out for lunch. The parking lot looked big but few spots available. I managed to find one and walked inside. The place looked fresh and observed how people order. Looked like you pick your ingredients in a bowl or pita. So I wait until the people in line clears out and then I make my move. I get a bowl for takeout and navigate through each topping. Nothing is labeled so I have to ask the serving lady what it is. Luckily no one was behind me where I was taking a while. The ingredients are not common like harissa, falafel, and black lentils. I make my selections where some I know and others guessing. To my surprise they sell tiny glass bottles of Acqua Panna which is one of my favorite drinking waters. I got one and a gift card. I got home and opened the lid to my bowl with my Italian water. The bowl was huge and a lot food to eat. I took one bite and it was tasty. I was expecting a very dry heathy meal but it was a bit slick probably from the Brown Basmati Rice and Grilled Chicken. I liked it and filled me up for the day. I need to return and try a different selection of ingredients. I downloaded the CAVA App where you can order and pay using your phone and get rewards. read more

having the lady all by herself up front is crazy, saw a young dude in the back just standing there was inside for 15 mins and he literally did nothing. Don't understand why you would have only one person working up front . also the place is super hot inside get these people some AC. the food was great the service was great Thank you Jamie :) read more

Cava can never do wrong. I don't crave it very often but when I do, it always hits the spot. This particular location gives you a ton of food, and I love that they have this cute outdoor seating that you should definitely utilize on good weather days! I always order a chicken and rice (no greens) bowl. This past time, the eggplant hummus tasted a bit strange but it was still good. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Many different options from greens, grains, rice and/or pita, followed by chicken, meatballs, lamb, veggies or falafels. Pick as many toppings you want (feta, cuts, tomatoes, etc) and top it off with a tasty dressing. To drench your thirst, try a strawberry mint lemonade or hibiscus tea. Order soda, they got you covered thanks to Main Root. They use sustainable to go boxes and silverware and PAPER straws! Over all a good place to grab a bite to eat, that won't cost an arm and a leg. Think of it as a Mediterranean style Chipotle read more

Fresh ingredients and good food. A Greek inspired chipotle look alike. I was very happy with the variety of ingredients and the freshness. I thought it was nice hey allow you to sample the ingredients before adding them to your bowl. They also have an app that helps make orders faster. Basically a chipotle for a Greek inspired bowl of food. They have a patio with fans that you can bring your dog to and eat. Unfortunately, it's not covered so it's not good for a really hot or a rainy day. Will be back soon for a healthy and tasty meal. read more

Food was really good. Thank God there is now an alternative to chipotle in Westlake. The front counter lady named ALEX was super helpful. I eat keto about 6 months out of each year and had a bunch of questions for Alex. She was very willing to help me know options and seemed to know the sugar content of everything they had to offer. I was satisfied and again, the food was really good Thank you, Alex. read more

Steven couldn't have been more patient and friendly as he walked us through the line today for our first visit! My son was very pleased with his meal! He got the kids pita served with carrot sticks hummus and rice and a yummy strawberry citrus juice!! It was all fresh and delicious! We will be back for sure!! Ask for Steven! read more

Cover offers a healthy alternative to some of the other nearby quick eats. There's a good selection of vegetarian/ vegan options, which is refreshing. There's ample parking, and the staff are always friendly, greeting you at the smile. The wait times can be protracted, especially during peak times at dinner and at lunch. This may have to do with the popularity of this particular location, but it doesn't seem to be as much of an issue at some of the other caval locations. Regardless, this is excellent choice for a healthy, relatively quick, lunch or dinner in West austin. The premises are clean and well attended. The store is very well managed. read more

I hate having to update a review but after goin here additional times I am over it. They are always understaffed at any time of the day. The tzatziki sauce yesterday looked horrible. Like it was sitting out for awhile and got warm and watery. Sometimes there are pita chips premised and there but they're cold. The staff acts like it's a huge put out to make additional pita chips that aren't cold and having been sitting out that are soggy. I really don't understand why or how orders and ordering there is so difficult. It's a step by step process and is always a hassle. read more

CAVA is my new favorite place for Mediterranean/middle eastern food. The set-up is basically just like a chipotle and you have the choice of bowls or pita-wraps. My favorite dish is the grain bowl with half brown rice and half lentils. All the proteins I've had have been excellent too (chicken/meatballs/falafel). The inside area is very nice and they're doing an excellent job at social distancing both for employees and customers. I've also had CAVA delivered with Uber Eats and it came hot and fresh just the way I ordered it. read more

CAVA - Honey bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm torn rating this review. The food is good but they're almost always out of ingredients. :( I'm a creature of habit and usually get the Greek Salad as is with everything they recommend. From the chicken, tzatziki, hummus, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives to the Greek vinaigrette...I often have it half consumed by the time I reach my destination. However, the last 3 times I was there they were either out of the tzatziki, hummus or tomato/cucumbers. Pretty disappointing, honestly. Of course I opt to double up on something else but it just isn't really the same. They are usually quite busy but the line moves pretty smoothly. I'll return because I love that darn Greek Salad. read more

Pretty good variety - Chipotle of Mediterranean food. However, it is faster to wait in like than order online. You will wait for 30 minutes or longer past your pickup time along with lots of others packed closely waiting for their late orders. Staff are really friendly but like everything else I am guessing they are having issues with hiring enough people. read more

It reminds me of chipotle in the sense that you are behind looking and picking what you want. You pick a base such as grain and greens. Then dips and spread like hummus, toppings and dressing. This all comes with pita. It all really good. I usually get tea or sweet ice tea as well. Little outdoor patio at this location. Social distancing enforced. read more
