    Build your own falafel bowl
    Terry O.

    Looking for eateries with vegan options in Boston is not as simple as you might think. Simple swaps like tofu instead of chicken, for example, were not common. I was very happy to find CAVA in the Back Bay area. It's basically Mediterranean fast food done well. It's a bit like Chipotle in how it operates, but not Mexican. I ordered a make-your-own bowl with favorites like brown rice, falafel, lentils, arugula, hummus, veggies and pita. One sister ordered a pita wrap as listed on the menu and the other ordered a falafel bowl as listed. Portions were generous and I couldn't finish mine. Everything was very fresh. Seating was limited on the main floor of the store in Back Bay, but there was outdoor seating and an upstairs. The food preppers were knowledgeable about their products and great with suggestions. I found a site that suggested CAVA was coming to Omaha in 2026. I'm hoping that is true.

    CAVA is always a great option for when you're looking for a quick grab & go lunch! I honestly always forget that there is a CAVA right by the Sak's in Prudential and tend to go to the one outside, down the street. Not sure if it was just the day I went, Saturday afternoon, but service was very slow and only one person was working the front & making the bowls, one bowl at a time. I ordered my usual bowl, with arugula and saffron rice base with harissa honey chicken & lamb meatballs for proteins. I like to add corn, tomatoes, feta, pickled onions, and cucumbers, as well. For dips, I typically go with the tzatziki, eggplant, & crazy feta and for dressing, I opt for the garlic. Overall, I enjoyed my bowl! I did notice that the portion sizes here are definitely not as generous as you'd find at any of the other locations, including the ones in the city and even the one down the street.

    Amazing food and service, one worker gave me free pita wonderful people!!! Best cava location I've been too!

    My friend and I stopped by Cava for a quick lunch because it's conveniently located inside the Prudential Center, right behind View Boston. I ordered ahead using their app, which was super easy to use and made customizing my bowl simple. The food was delicious and everything tasted really fresh! I just wish the portion size was a bit more generous. It might be better to check out the over CAVA location down the street for better portions and seating though.. Staff were efficient and the pickup process was smooth

    Amazing make your own salad place! So delicious! Very busy for a 2:00 late lunch, which I think is a good sign! Location was perfect, right in downtown Boston. Think of this as a subway but for salads! There are so many options for literally everything! Lettuce, grains, meats, sauces, veggies, everything is so fresh. I was basic and just got a salad with arugula but you can add grains and pita. I added the chicken, humus, feta, and tomatoes. This was very filling for a late lunch. Also, there were so many drink options that weren't the typical coke, sprite, lemonade. They had their own take on it! This Cava had indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating was limited, so we sat outside. It was nice, but the tables were dirty, and they were out of napkins at the time so we couldn't wipe off.

    Steak mezze salad

    I enjoy visiting Cava when I get the chance, but I don't think I'd re-visit their Prudential location anytime soon. The food is tasty and service is pretty quick, but I was just very disappointed with the portion sizes here. Anytime I order a salad or bowl at other locations, it's usually enough for at least two servings for me. When I ordered the Steak Mezze Salad on my visit, it was barely enough for one serving. Especially when you consider the price, this just doesn't feel worth it to me. It was still tasty and the ingredients were fresh, but I wasn't super impressed.

    This is a solid and reliable spot for a great grain or salad bowl. It's my go to! This is my go to spot for a filling lunch. It has great options for everyone. I feel you get your monies worth. During the cold months the space is limited, not a lot of seating is available. I love creating my own bowls and I love you can switch it up. On occasion you can get a person in the seating area that seems sketchy but it's near all the library where a lot of homeless people like to hangout m.

    Every topping they have !

    Went here with my girlfriend before a date in the garden and it was lovely. Julie and Martino took care of us and were both so pleasant. The food itself was delicious. Great portions and could tell the ingredients were fresh. Overall would recommend to anyone in the area

    I love Cava, the food is always delicious and they have an abundance of vegan options. This location is inside the Prudential food court. Service was fast and friendly. Only thing is that the serving sizes here seem to be a bit smaller than other Cava locations.

    While they have good food & service, sometimes it's hit or miss here. It's basically your typical salad grain bowl place that you find all over the city. Although there are healthy options, when you're vegan you should be able to get more veggies for less money. There is apparently a rewards program but not really useful if the staff don't ask or tell you about & then you forget. When they are doing their prep work they need to make sure to chop things properly or end up w/ a huge chunk of something that you're not sure what veggie it is, nor does it look appetizing.

    This is the spicy bowl.

    The good is fresh and delicious. Not to mention healthy. The service was professional and friendly. And the location was perfect.

    Cava is my favorite chain for bowls, they have it down to a great system and I love it! Would always choose this over any sweet green or digg.

    Harissa bowl! Tastes wayyy better than it looks lol
    Zwany C.

    This Cava is located inside the busy Prudential mall! An Occasional lunch stop for me. The harissa bowl is so so good. So many different components making it a deliciously, nutritious, and filling lunch. Pricey, but that's the Back Bay for ya!

    Really good falafel + I had enough to eat for leftovers, and I'd say I can usually eat the whole bowl from these types of places.

Saloniki Greek is a local chain in the Boston Area that was founded in 2016, w/ this being their first location! Now they have expanded w/ 5 locations total-- Fenway, Newbury St/Back Bay, Downtown, Cambridge (MIT), & Cambridge (Harvard Sq). The first time I had it was at their Newbury St location, & it was my first time the other day trying it from here... safe to say they definitely NAILED IT! I actually think this time around, Fenway made the donuts better hahaha. It was pretty chill the day we visited so ordering was a breeze & took ~5ish minutes for our donuts to be ready. They come piping hot & are the perfect dessert for after ANY meal. I've had their gyros before but always find myself coming back for their Greek donuts, highly recommend! ***Also, if you have a Student ID, you can get a free order of Greek fries if you order either a salad, sandwich, or plate. ***

    Since they moved to Boylston street, we decided to try them out again…read more I got the chicken souvlaki plate - which came with a single skewer, rice and salad and tzatziki. I also got the Yayas soup which was very salty and sour and tangy - I could barely eat a few spoonfuls. The spicy lamb meatballs were really good and tasted great with the tzatziki. Hubs had the chicken gyro which was ok. I got this for pickup and it was ready in 10-15 minutes when I got there. We are outside the restaurant at the tables outside. Overall okay experience.

The menu covers enough ground that finding something worth coming back to is not difficult. The Kale Caesar is the standout order for me and delivers every time, well balanced and filling without feeling heavy afterward. The portions are genuinely generous across the board, and the option to build my own bowl gives me enough flexibility to work with whatever I am in the mood for. The ingredients feel fresh in a way that separates this place from most fast casual options at a similar price point, and the vegan and vegetarian options are substantial enough that they do not feel like afterthoughts tacked onto the menu. The staff at this location are consistently warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience noticeably more pleasant than your average quick service lunch spot. The line moves at a good pace even when it gets busy, which it does during the lunch rush, so arriving slightly outside of peak hours saves me some wait time if I am in a hurry. Seating inside runs on the tighter side and fills up quickly during midday, so coming prepared to eat outside or take it back to the office is worth considering on a busy weekday. Overall it is a dependable, quality option for a fast and genuinely satisfying lunch in the area.
