    Hard Cold Pita Chips
    Tita B.

    I had eaten at this location in the past and each time I was pleased, however this particular time I was not happy at all!!!!! We were not greeted, I let that slide I decided to try the "Salmon" below you will see the food which I was "VERY DISAPPOINTED" the serving amount was extremely small. When I mentioned it to the server she just looked at me like I should have just been thrilled with what I was given...The food didn't look appetizing at all!!!!! I also had to wait almost 15 minutes extra to make sure the salmon was cooked properly...... I went into the ladies room and it was DISGUSTING ( the pictures are below) I've never seen the restroom this filthy... after experiencing this I will NOT BE RETURNING. I really hope that whoever is in the position to correct this has a team that will comply to the TOTAL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE P.s. In the past my bowls were ALWAYS FULL, the one's I purchased hardly had any greens etc....

    My brother absolutely LOVES CAVA and comes here every other week. I hadn't never been here and we were on our way to Vegas so we decided to stop by and he would redeem his birthday coupon. They are located in downtown Brea in a very popular area with not enough parking spots at almost any time of day so keep in mind that you may need to walk a bit to get here. There are some shared tables on the outside and indoor seating. This is a fast casual restaurant where you queue and order as you go down the line and the build up your food. The staff were friendly and helpful explaining me how it works. I got a bowl with chicken and grilled veggies and added a few things. Overall I felt like the food was pretty healthy and filling. I was only able to eat half and saved the other half for later. They offer to go orders, delivery and pickup only. They have an area where they place the orders that are ready. The place was very clean and welcoming.

    This place used to better, I ordered for pickup and there several mistakes with our order and the food presentation was not good. Taste was fine.

    5 stars to Christa and James for stellar service with a smile!!! Imagine a CAVA that greets you warmly, warns you about the beef upcharge for premium and gives you according to your desire in a kind and generous manner. Salted oat meal cookie was perfection. Their warm pita wedge was DIVINE!!! Their pickled red onions are LIFE ALTERING JOY MAKING goodness!!! They really made my day. Even though this is farther away from my house i will go back to this location...ALWAYS!!! Clean with great vibes all around. Well staffed. FYI - the beef steak is a little chewy though / gristly. :/ To everyone wearing dentures: watch out!!! Lol

    Honestly wow, this cava location is probably the best I've ever been no joke. The food portions are great and Savanna (worker) was very helpful. I think the employees are also part of the experience of this Cava location which also brings great ambiance around. Everything was amazing!

    $12.95 for build-your-own bowl + $1.95 for honey harissa chicken. Pita chips were free.

    Cava is Mediterranean food with a build-your-own meal style system similar to Chipotle. After visiting, I can see why so many people I know speak favorably about this place. Customized bowls seem fairly priced at $12.95 given the quality and quantity of food you receive. The price does jump up considerably once you start adding extras or premium items (like the Harissa Honey Chicken for an extra $1.95). I think the best thing to do is just stick to the normal selections. All the dips and sauces you add end up coating everything and dominate the flavors in it (also they do offer a harissa dip and a harissa vinaigrette dressing anyway). I like how fresh the ingredients are and the generous size of the bowl. It's good but I don't think it's worth waiting in a long line for. This day they offered free Pita Chips with orders. I know this sounds odd but they tasted just like Keebler's Club Crackers. I do think they should have eased up on the salt and pepper seasoning a bit. I couldn't finish it because of how salty mine was.

    Ordered online for takeout for lunch and I made my own bowl! When I got there, my bowl was ready pretty quick based on the time I put online. Worker who served me was kind and friendly. My bowl was delicious!! I got the chicken with all the toppings that I like. To be honest, I was not a fan of Cava before, I don't know what was wrong with me. It def grew on me though. It's also very affordable! About 13 bucks for a great portion of food for lunch, so worth it! Since I work close to this Cava location, I'll be coming back at least once a week for a high-quality chicken bowl.

It has fresh Mediterranean food and the interior is nicely decorated. It is located in a strip mall with a large free parking garage in the back. Very convenient. I ordered their beef and chicken kabob plate with a side of mushrooms and potatoes. The kabobs were tasty but the beef one was quite dry surprisingly. The chicken kabob in fact was quite tasty. The mushrooms and potatoes were cold and over salted. My friend ordered their lamb burger (medium rare) with a side of salad. Unfortunately the burger was well done and didn't taste as good. The side salad portion was good and you can tell it was made fresh. As for the service it was quite interewsting. While we were looking over the menu several different staff memebers asked if we were ready to order. Let me just say that this place was half empty and I can tell they were antzy to our order started. As for the rest of the meal , our waitress took forever to refill our beverages which was diet coke and ice team. Mixed review on service. Overall, I would give this place another chance and order another item to try.

But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.
