I bought a Grains Bowl with chicken. As you can see the amount of food you get for around $14 (with tax) is a joke. This isn't considered an appropriate protein or nutritional intake for a kid. It's just easier to cook at home nowadays I guess.

I used to like it more. Lebanese and/or Mediterranean food is healthy. If you're in the area it could work for you. Yet value wise it can't keep up with Mezeh. It's a night and day difference. Yes you can get healthy bowls with vegetables here, but I am not as impressed as I used to be. The ingredients are decent quality, but again they've been surpassed. I do want to say thank you to the employees. Very nice men and women working here. You'll definitely have good service. Decent tables and seating as well. Fairly comfortable and relaxing. It can't hurt to give it a try, but I'm on the Mezeh bandwagon now.

This place is close to GMU and is generally pretty crowded. The food was hot. The service was quick. The kid at the counter was confused and overcharged us. Average exp at best.

Poor Example of a Cava Salad from Burke, VA

It was skimpy and I don't like this lettuce and I tipped.TF! I don't think this store knows how to get food ready for deliveries and they need a serious update. Delivery I will not order from here any longer!

Road-trip to Philadelphia w my son, stopped for a little lunch where we knew we could get a quality VEGAN meal on the go. Delicious bowls of nourishment. Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Cashier complimented our shamrock necklaces (it's St.Patrick's day, we come prepared) and said she had on her green socks. YES: vegan friendly

This was a stop on a road trip for me to have lunch with a girlfriend I haven't seen in a while. When she suggested it I trusted her recommendation but had never heard of this restaurant before. My salad was super yummy. So yummy that I got one to take on the road with me to have for lunch the next day. This is what healthy and yummy look like when they come together and have a party..

I had to break away from the office today for a lunch. I admit I have never been to Cava. I tend to not go to places that are overly busy for lunch. Since I try to mostly eat a low carb diet, I don't like to hold up the line asking questions about what is this is and what is that. I honestly do love carbs but my hips do not. And ain't nobody got time for that. I asked the Gentleman behind the counter if he could help me figure out what to get. Alejandro was very helpful and suggested a Romaine and Spinach salad mix. I picked grilled chicken, veggies and Greek Vinaigrette dressing. The salad was good and flavorful. I will definitely return here to try other options now that I feel more comfortable.

Yesssssss CAVA got the win!!! My first time at this location and let's just say I was impressed!!! Meatless Monday's require a Mediterranean fix, if you will! I was greeted immediately as soon as I walked in. Making my bowl was super easy!!! I like that they asked me if I wanted the pita on the side instead of my having to ask for it!!! The ingredients were all so fresh and so vibrant, I love a colorful bowl!! I always gets a light drizzle of the Greek vinaigrette and a dab of that lemony oil concoction that's by the silverware. Made it through the line in no time flat and checkout was speedy!!! Everyone was so upbeat and friendly, I like that! I'm an early bird at lunch time so it was not crowded at all and the ingredient bar was super clean!! Plus plus!!! The location overall was clean and easy to access since it is on the end of the shopping center! I would definitely visit this location again

See all

The staff is friendly. However, when ordering online, the food does not arrive on time. I hope this issue will be improved.

Incredibly friendly and the food was wonderful. Come with an empty stomach and good vibes. Highly…read morerecommend!

A friend managed to pull off a very special surprise birthday treat for us--an off-menu dish that…read morerequires at least 10 people and what feels like a trillion hours of slow cooking. This was my first experience at a Yemeni restaurant, and it turned out to be an incredibly pleasant and flavorful introduction. We were served half a lamb, head included, laid beautifully on a large platter of rice. But first, the restaurant itself. It was refreshing to see a place that uses real cutlery, proper plates, and actual tablecloths. I much prefer tables and chairs over booths, which often give off a fast-food chain vibe. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, though there was some drilling and repair work going on--likely related to safety or exit signage--so that's understandable. Now to the food. The rice was fluffy and deeply infused with flavor from the lamb, clearly absorbing the richness of the long, slow cooking process. The broth had rippled into the rice, creating an incredible depth of taste. If you've had biryani, this was somewhat similar, but with its own distinct character. The lamb itself was exceptionally tender--falling off the bone and melting in the mouth. For anyone who usually avoids lamb due to its strong aroma, this dish is a must-try; there was no overpowering "lamb smell" at all. The meal was accompanied by a fresh salad and two side sauces--one tomato-based and another green sauce that was extremely spicy, so proceed with caution. The mint lemonade deserves a special mention: easily the best I've had. Not overly sweet, clearly made from fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced. We ended the meal with tea and a warm dessert that was buttery, comforting, and topped with cream--an excellent finale. This was a completely new culinary experience for me, and I left the restaurant feeling like my palate had leveled up. Highly recommended--definitely a place worth checking out

When we walked in, we were greeted very nicely and sat quickly. Our server was new and it was her first day so she couldn't really give any recommendations which wasn't the best, but the manager came out and was able to help with describing some of the dishes and giving great recommendations. Most of the people that we ate with ended up with some type of lamb dish and the lamb was phenomenal. The rice was delicious. The eggplant was delicious. We got a bunch of appetizers. Everything was on point. Everything tasted super fresh and overall we had a very nice experience. The food also came out very quickly. The overall ambience was very nice very home type vibe and it is a smaller restaurant for limited tables One of our friends that we went with since we haven't seen each other for a long time was really craving a beer and kebabs which sometimes a little bit harder than one would anticipate but they served alcohol as well as delicious food so win-win here. So overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want delicious Afghan food, but of course remember to book in advance .
