Made a mobile order for in-store pickup to-go. It located at the cafeteria inside the Montgomery Mall. Drove up into the complimentary parking garage off the Westlake Drive. Walked through the entrance on the main floor, CAVA located first on the left hand side. The pickup was easy and prompt. The bowl was in smaller quantity compared to other CAVA in the area. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Stopped by CAVA for a light lunch and to try their new Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. I ordered a kids falafel pita and the chips to hold me over until dinner. When I first got the chips, it was room temperature and let's be honest, these are definitely best when warm. I asked if I could wait for a fresh batch, and although there was a little hesitation at first, the cook didn't seem to mind. She gave me exactly 4 pieces back, and it was way better -- crispy & sweet. Overall, decent food, good service, and a sweet treat. read more

Representing 2022 for alphabet series is C is CAVA. Been to this CAVA as part of Montgomery Mall food court many times over the years. This is my most common food court option as it's good quality at a good price. The mall food court has other decent options, but this & another are my 2 favorites but this is a better value. I like this food court option has separate seating (normal CAVA style seating) away from the food court. I tend get grain & greens bowl with chicken, but sometimes just grains. You get 3 toppings; I get hummus, eggplant, & tzatziki and whatever various veggies you want too. The time I went in January 2022 was a 3rd & final date. We didn't have a ton of connection. Overall, CAVA is always a fine choice. read more

So delicious. CAVA is my favorite place to grab food after I'm done shopping at Montgomery mall. The seating is plentiful and comfortable and the employees are always very kind and greet you warmly. The food itself is so delicious. I personally love the Greek salad, but last time I ordered a pita wrap with chicken, feta, tzatziki, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and it was so delicious. The pita is very soft and the perfect thickness. read more

Don't order from a delivery app from this Cava, I've ordered 3x and every time my order was wrong and missing items. I hardly ever usually leave negative reviews but this is just horrible, once I could understand but 3x. There's a trend there. read more

Enjoyed a nice meal at Cava on Democracy Blvd. We were in the mall's food court for lunch. I had falafel and loved it. I tasted my husband's spicy lamb and it was great but too spicy for me. Nice servers and a roomy space to eat. I recommend. P.S. so excited that a Cava is coming to my area soon. read more

CAVA - Falafel Bowl with Garlic Sauce - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I understand shrinkflation but when you're willing to pay extra for extra rice, you'd expect more than a few grains. Gave them 2 chances to redeem themselves. Never again. Moving onto Mezeh which is similar foods but gives you what you pay extra for! read more

Stopped by to try the new steak they have at Cava! I got a greens and grains bowl and remembered to scan my barcode on the app! I didn't get a receipt though. Please make sure to get your points! I have left several times and not had a receipt and been out of luck on my points. read more

CAVA - Cava small drink! - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

The employees at this location are fantastic! Definitely try their honey harissa chicken if you want a little kick in your bowl or wrap:) Their vegetables are very fresh, and the lemonade is worth checking out. read more

I've been several different Cavas, and I like that this one is located in the mall. It's nice to have multiple options when eating out with a group of people. The mall food court is nice, but it can get very crowded and loud. When I went it wasn't too bad but. They have this cotton candy machine and my oh my that thing is so loudddd. And it just. Does. Not. Stop. That being said, clever tactics since it shuts up when you interact with it. I didn't succumb to its trickery but those songs are stuck in my head. Anyway. The food is good, I love the Harissa chicken. It's been awhile since I've been here (since I moved) and I do think their portions have shrank a wee bit. read more

I am a regular customer that comes to Cava at the Montgomery Mall . My name is Tierney and I am an employee at Nordstrom Cafe . The staff at Cava are always very inviting and very friendly. They have a pleasant demeanor which makes me want to keep coming back there . i am vegan so I like that Cava is a place where I can personalize things like the greens and grains bowl for instance and add whichever vegan friendly items to the greens and grains bowl . I like also how fresh and healthy the food is . thank you ! sincerely , Tierney Caulfield read more

I went to get a bowl. The place was not too crowded. The staff making the bowl was completely distracted and in a rush. I had to repeat the toppings and dressings multiple times. I wanted to add cucumbers as well but the staff member the passed on the order to serve the next person. At the billing counter I had to ask for the pita bread which comes by default with the bowl. Not a very good experience and failed to understand the reason for poor service. read more

Do yourself a favor and get the pita chips. At a little over two dollars they are completely worth it, has definitely grown on me since moving to the area and I have gone at least once a week for this past month. This location in particular is extremely convenient for pick up because they have pick up spots right outside of the restaurant and a full parking lot, although this location is a little further from my home than the Bethesda location, it's so much more convenient to order from and it's the one I find myself coming to the most the service is really friendly, and they always have my order ready as the time, but they said they will. Honestly, the food is great for the price point and I will be going back often read more

I ordered a bowl with a side of chips, and the establishment forgot the side of chips the bowl was pretty Good though.

This Cava has been the best Cava i have ever been to in my life. I've gone to several different cavas, in the south, up north and even within my own state. The cava at montgomery mall is ALWAYS clean. the people who work there are extremely kind and have never showed rudeness or anger. they are wonderful human beings. additionally the food is great every single time. i've been going to this cava for several years. i've enjoyed it in highschool and have continued to enjoy it even in college now. I drive 30-45 minutes just to get the food here. This cava at montgomery mall has raised my standards and I would give it 100 stars if possible. read more

CAVA - Strawberry tea - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This franchise provides a healthier "build your own bowl" approach with a decent selection of greens (including spinach), proteins and toppings. It ends up being quite tasty. I'm not partial to their drinks though, which don't taste anything close to what their hipster names might indicate. This location is usually pretty fast and the staff are pleasant. Good place to pick up a quick but healthy meal. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I've been a cava fan for years, and this location is no exception! Conveniently located in the Montgomery mall food court, this is one of my go-to locations when shopping or just spending time with friends. Cava is a Mediterranean-style build-a-bowl restaurant where you get to choose between a variety of bases, proteins, and toppings. They let you get grains+greens, which is my go to. The basmati rice is to die for and they even throw in a free mini pita bread with your bowl. They always have a variety of toppings and sauces, so it's easy to try something new every time you go. They recently increased their prices a bit, but it's still well worth it because a bowl from here can easily make for 2 meals. Highly recommend trying this out when in Montgomery mall!! read more

CAVA - Grain and rice bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I'm never disappointed when I come here. Their food is so delicious. It's like Chipotle in that you get to choose your food as you go down the line of food, except it's more delicious (and expensive). This particular location is in the Montgomery Mall, by the entrance to the Arc Cinemas. read more

Cava is always a reliable restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat. I had a bowl with super greens and lentils, along with falafel. The dressings appear to be homemade. There is ample seating for patrons at this location. read more

I have been to full service location and other cafe style location. I loved my experience there but not so much here. This location is in the Montgomery Mall food court. I visited here in the late afternoon, not busy. There was only one person behind me. The person helping was rushing me and can't be bother by when I was asking what certain things were. He would just point to the glass shield which had the names but very hard to read and said, "it's there." The food was decent but the service just colored my whole experience. I may try other locations but probably would not return here. read more

Food is always good, but the manager need to remind the workers that most people speak or understand Spanish, I didn't appreciate the rude comments. Today Monday 2nd about 11:30 for reference. read more

Today's visit to CAVA was great!!! Hadn't had it in a while, so it was refreshing to eat it again. Ordered White Rice Bowl with Grilled Beef Meatballs, Grilled Chicken, Cucumber, Feta Cheese, Eggplant, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Harissa and Sriracha Yogurt. Tasted so good! read more

So yummy! Line was Fully stocked, plentiful portions. A+ for this visit. I got a greens (super greens) and grain (white rice) bowl with 2 harissa, 1 crazy feta, braised beef, 5 of the toppings (not fan of seasonal couscous), olives, feta, crispy pita chips, harissa yogurt and Greek vinaigrette on side. Plus did you know your bowl includes a free mini pita? I miss the infused water, but guessing they nixed it to encourage more people to purchase drinks. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This place, located inside of the Westfield Montgomery Mall, was pretty good. It's Mediterranean food, similar fashion to the other pick-as-you-go line food options. The bowls start at $11.75, possibly going up a little depending on a few options. I'd recommend giving it a try. They also have some fancy drinks, but I didn't try any. read more

CAVA - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

So you enter this location from the Montgomery Mall food court, grab a menu (there are little pockets in the wall) and decide on what you want to eat. It is set up like Chipotle or ShopHouse Kitchen style as far as ordering. First you start with your base - Rice, Pita, Salad, then you add some Dip or Spread to it - Tzatziki, Hummus or Crazy Feta to name a few. Need some Protein - Chicken, Grilled Meatballs, Braised Lamb or Beef (there are others), add some toppings and there are several to choose from like tomato + cucumber, fresh mint, shredded romaine, then you add your dressing like Greek Vinaigrette or Yogurt Dill to name a few and voila, you have a meal. You can add to it by getting one of their juices or teas - Fresh Lemonade Apple Cider, Honey Basil Green Tea, Black Tea, Blackberry Sage Juice or Cucumber Mint Lime Juice - get a cup and try all - you will end up with favorites. They also offer fountain sodas (Maine Root - that's a brand of the sodas). On this visit, it was my 2nd time visiting a Cava Mezze Gril in two weeks (my first being the Community Day at Kentlands in Gaithersburg). Their food was delicious. I had something similar to what I had from my first visit - Rice Bowl (Saffron Basmati Rice) with Tzatziki spread, Grilled Meatballs (seems to burnt here too), Braised Lamb, Tomato + Cucumber and Crumbled Feta toppings and I forgot to add the dressing (I could taste that something was missing). Anyways, there are a few things I learned on this visit: ** The place serves both Mediterranean and Greek Food ** If you order 2 proteins or more, they charge for each meat. If you only order 1 of these proteins (Chicken, Falafel, or Grilled Meatballs), then it is included in the "Build it" price and is not going to be extra (I am still trying to understand this one even after a staff member explained it to me) **The Cucumber Mint Lime Juice is so delicious. Nuff Said!!! read more

Delicious with tons of healthy options and fresh juices! Always the best food selection at Montgomery mall My fav combo: Green and grains bowl (best of both worlds!) --with chicken(so flavorful!) --hummus and yogurt spreads --tomatoes/cucumber, cucumber alone, and quinoa toppings --no dressing (too rich! I use the spreads instead!) --pita bread on the side for dipping! All for $9, Healthy and delicious! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Along with buying chipotle bowls and the steals that you get at the costco food court, investing in a Cava bowl is getting the most bang for your buck. I usually get white rice, arugula, white sauce (tsatsiki sauce?), hummus, beef meatballs/chicken, beets, radishes, cucumber, tomatoes, chips, a lemon, and white and red sauce. Undoubted, unanimously bomb.com In terms of food quantity, it's close but I think Cava may give more food than Chipotle. I might be speaking blasphemy but every time I get Cava I get full before finishing my bowl. In addition, perhaps the best thing Cava did was propping it up in Montgomery Mall because people can kill 2 birds with one stone - go shopping and get Cava. If there was an option for 6 stars, I would do so in a heartbeat. 6/5 stars, KC approved. read more

Cava is a great fast food joint inside the mall food court. Seating inside the designated cava area is limited so depending on the time and day you are at the mall, you may have to sit in the open food court area to eat. The food is very tasty and a more all natural option compared to the other food court options. Their food is reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend giving them a shot if you are in the need of a bite while doing your shopping. read more

I have never had an issue with CAVA! This one is in the Westfield Montgomery mall in Bethesda. Depending on what you get, it can easily by 12-15 dollars, but it's worth the price. read more

Visited on Monday afternoon. The female employee behind food counter, sees an empty tray of dried old lettuce and even after our request for the new tray sitting above filled with fresh new lettuce ...she blatantly ignores and picks the old rotted lettuce below. After seeing the lettuce. We return to have her remake the bowl again. What is wrong with the cava servers at this location? They seem really detached from reality, careless and rude. Some people should not be in food services. The food trays were dirty also. Close this location down if it's going to ruin the brand in general. We watched her give this rotten bad lettuce to 5 people after us also. Disgusting. Also this was a $12 bowl? Empty with no meat or falafel. We were overcharged. Avoid this location and cava in general. read more

Of the fast casual make-your-own Mediterranean food in the DC metro, Cava, Roti and Pita Pouch, it is a 3-way tie (at least in my opinion). They all taste delicious and fresh. Cava has the most selection on offer, especially protein and hummus dips/scoops. Pita pouch has the least selection but the pita bread from Pita pouch takes the award for the most appetizing. Roti is somewhere in between in terms of selection options. In short, if I'm craving fast casual Mediterranean I would be happy to find any of these 3. read more

Ordered a bowl with the following: Brown rice Quinoa Chicken Roasted pepper hummus Cucumber Feta Olives Spinach Turmeric thini sauce It's located on the first floor by the movie theaters so it's not difficult to find.

Mediterranean version of Chipotle. Everything I put in my bowl works well when mixed together and was tasty! The chicken had a char taste to it which tasted better than Chipotle but I believe you get more meat from Chipotle. Minus 1 star because this place can be pricey. I would go more often if it starts a bit cheaper. Also, the price for 1 falafel ball and 1 side pita was overpriced @ $0.75 & $1.50. The falafel ball tasted average...middle eastern style taste better read more

Great food as always at Cava. I had the half chicken / half falafel super greens bowl and it was as good as it is back in dc. The space is very modern with room to roam for those with kids. My one complaint is that the portions of proteins seem smaller than they serve at the dc locations. read more

I went to Cava yesterday for lunch. It is located in the Montgomery Mall food court. For those who do not know what Cava is, my comparison is the mediterranean Chipotle. It is where you pick your protein, type of rice, salad, and sauces. For my order, I ordered the grain bowl, which i got with braised pork. My vegetables were lettuce, purple onions, quinoa, baby tomatoes. It was topped off with crazy feta and eggplant + red roasted pepper dip. The braised pork was great, the pork was tender and melted in your mouth, my vegetable choices solid, i didnt particularly like the feta sauce, but the pepper dip was really good. Next time you are at Montgomery Mall for lunch, check out Cava, it is definitely worth it! read more

Cava always gets a 5 star review from me. I love that regardless of location, the food is consistent and the people behind the line are efficient. I always get a bowl with harissa and eggplant hummus, chicken, and I take full advantage of the topping bar! I always pack my bowl so much that I can eat it in two meals - two meals for about $5 each? Yes please. This location, like the Tysons one, gets insanely busy during lunch time. You WILL wait in line around 1pm! read more

Ambiance of this restaurant was perfect just chairs are wobbly ! But overall the bowl was great !!

I love the salad that I got here. It would get 5 stars except that I find the process somehow more complex than say Chipotle. Why? Because nothing is clearly labelled, the ppl dishing out the food had heavy accents plus the noise of the food court made it so I wasn't sure what I was ordering. The ppl behind me were annoyed that I was asking questions which was embarrassing especially since I kept saying "what is that again?". -_- Anyway, if you don't want to experience the stress I did, feel free to order what I highlighted. It was delicious. read more
