    Free and plentiful parking. I built a bowl with white rice, spinach, steak, roasted veggies, harissa sauce, garlic sauce, and avocado. The rice was warm and fluffy, a good base for the rest of the toppings. The steak was tender and had a nice charred flavor. The roasted veggies added a bit of sweetness and texture. The harissa sauce brought a mild heat, balanced by the creamy garlic sauce. The avocado was fresh and added a rich, smooth bite to each forkful. Portion size was generous and the mix of flavors worked really well together. Service was quick and the staff made sure everything looked fresh before handing it over. Highly recommend.

    There is something about securing the bag after work and when I mean bag I mean the CAVA bag. This is my go to CAVA location. I tend to have minor issues when it comes to my order. Here and there an item may be missing like a dressing or something. That is why I always double check my order before leaving. Typically when it comes to ordering at this location I always do the online ordering just because I want to grab and go. By the time I come to pick up my order my CAVA bag is on the counter ready to go. I also tend to do the online ordering just because I noticed how full my bowl is in comparison to ordering in person and I want my moneys worth. My go to order is the grain bowl!

    I ordered food from the Brick location for the first time and all I can say is I will definitely return. I got the chicken and rice bowl and it was delicious. The chicken was well cooked, the veggies were fresh and the hummus & tzatziki were amazing. It even came with a pita on the side. Ordering was super easy and the servers were so friendly. You can also dine in or get it to go. Highly recommend trying their food.

    My bowl minus garlic sauce...

    I've been to this CAVA location a couple times now. It's not my favorite location, but it gets the job done. During my last visit, I went with a group of fellow Yelpers after an event nearby. It seemed like whenever each one of us placed an order, they were out of something. In my case, they were out of garlic sauce. One of the staff gave me another option for a sauce. I think it was something lemon-based. It was okay. I think when you've been a CAVA regular in the past and you have your favorite things, it's disappointing when they don't have what you like. However, that's life, right?

    Everytime I eat Cava, I remember I actually enjoy this healthy-ish food! Came here last weekend because I needed to eat something healthy after eating too much junk the week before. My husband and I built our own bowls. He got the falafel bowl with lentils and I got the sweet harissa chicken with lentils. I got almost everything as the toppings, and got the taziki and honey vinaigrette! My husband didn't get as much toppings as I did, and they didn't give him much rice or lentils so his bowl looks empty in comparison. Still, both bowl was delicious. We also got the hot harissa pita chips - sooo delicious and crunchy.

    Decided to give this place a try since this was our second time seeing this restaurant but in a different location. Hospitality and service were absolutely fantastic. Our food server and the cashier were extremely helpful and nice. The place was packed and had a nice cool vibe nothing fancy. Mediterranean food isn't something that I crave but everything was delicious and had a lot of flavor.

    It was basically like a Mediterranean chipotle on crack.. super fresh ingredients and pretty nice set up inside. The staff was cool. I'd def return and suggest this spot to others.

    The new Harissa Power bowl is delicious.

    Love the food. Great customer service and quick service. I tried the new Harissa power bowl and it was yummy.

    I don't think I'll ever not like Cava and I've never had a bad experience or bowl either especially at this location! They always pack the bowls to the brim and granted it's with all the veggies and dips I request but man does it make for a filling and satisfying meal. I almost can never finish an entire bowl in one sitting either so then I definitely don't feel bad spending $14-20 because it lasts for two meals for me. CAVA is lifeeeee

    Wow and wow! This place is hands down the bomb.com LOL! I enjoy literally every bit of my food! I ordered the spicy lamb meatball bowl with the cucumber mint drink! 10/19 My sister ordered the Harissa Chicken 10/10. If I had 10 starts I would give it to Cava! Everything was amazingly fresh! S/o to the young lady who took my order, she was very patient with me due to it being my first time here. This location was very clean and well put together, I highly recommend giving Cava a shot! If you like Mediterranean food then look no further.

    So good

    COME HUNGRY! I came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday with my husband's family…read morerecently. There were 6 of us and we split the Efsane Family Special for 4 people and added lamb chops thinking we wouldn't have enough food lol the special also came with dessert but my sister-in-law also ordered a rice pudding. The 6 of us could've easily had the family special for 4 without ordering anything else - there was so much food and we had leftovers to take home!! For context, we all eat a LOT so to say we had leftovers is saying a lot! Quantity aside, the food itself was delicious. The bread is served fresh and steaming hot, the dips are delicious and flavorful, meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly (the chicken shish and lamb adana are my favorites), and the bitter black tea and sweet baklava are a perfect way to end the meal. I left there stuffed and so happy! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

I was very worried that, after the move, I would not be able to find middle eastern food that would compare. However, I was wrong, and Esfane definitely satisfied my craving! I was in the mood for a light lunch, so I ordered the Shepard's Salad, the Baba Ghannouj, and the Lentil Soup. The Baba Ghannouj was excellent and came with lots of pita bread. It could've been a little smokier for my taste, but overall I got a huge serving and it was very creamy and flavorful. The Sheppard's salad was similarly huge and delicious. The lentil soup tasted home-made and was so comforting to dip all of my extra bread in. At the end of lunch, I was also served some complimentary tea, which definiitely was the icing on the cake to this exceptional experience. Overall, I was extremely satisfied by the quality of the food, but also by the amount. The service was similarly excellent. My water was constantly filled and the waiters checked on me numerous times to ensure everything was going well. The decorations inside were also exceptional, and the restaurant definitely gives high-class date night vibes. I could totally see coming back for a date night with my husband. I think the only downside is that I didn't find the food to be QUITE as good as some Paterson joints like Al Basha, and the price felt like it was 1.5x-2x as much. Probably worth it though, because this has got to be one of the better restaurants around in Flanders.
