Mr S.

Super good flavor. Crispy veggies. Excellent consistency. Got the salad bowl with harissa chicken and it's fire! Super quick service. Clean place. Got it to go but there's plenty of seating inside so I'll check it out again next time.

Chicken + Rice
Alejandra P.

Chicken and rice? More like chicken soup--way too wet and overly sauced. I left hungry. Goodbye

Salmon bowl, sour cream and onion pita chips, and cucumber mint lime
Virgilynn B.

Food was delicious. Service was quick because I was the first customer of the day. Ambiance is always clean with plenty of seating. There's plenty of parking as well.

A standard, no-frills, fast casual restaurant located on the bustling Avalon Blvd near Ikea, this Cava is typically considered a reliable and comparable alternative to Chipotle with Mediterranean inspired options! The ambiance is quite nice inside the restaurant, but service is a bit slow, and the line can drag on weekends in particular. The quality of the ingredients are fresh and above average compared to other Cavas. Overall, definitely a recommended option in the LA region!

Been to this Cava multiple occasions, but I'm so upset with the recent pick up order. They need to be careful on what lids they're putting on the bowls because I received a completely different bowl than the one I ordered. My dad ordered 4 bowls for the family, and I was so excited to eat my bowl after work so I'm the last one to eat. I read the label to make sure it was mine and it was correct but when I opened it, it has falafel, cucumber, tomato, pickled onions, beans, and other stuff and I didn't order a single one of these in my actual bowl. Imagine coming home to eat a bowl you've been craving since work, just to open it and it's not even correct. Mind you, my family also didn't order any of these so it wasn't theirs either. Pick up order was on 4/29 at 4:45 pm, they should figure out who did this so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Went to pickup lunch from an online order for a coworker's birthday lunch. It was ready on time. No issues. Order was correct. And it was delicious. I actually liked it more than I thought I would. Everyone at worked enjoyed as well. I would totally recommend. Inside was quite busy, so eating there might be a different experience.

Kids Meal

First time I tried it and it was very nice! I did a pickup order. The kids dish was nice and filling. Their chicken is great and so is the lemonade.

Burnt lamb balls.

I had heard of this place via social media. I wanted to feature healthier options for eating out. So I tried this out. Had to travel a little far for it, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Location: in the Carson Plaza shopping center right off of the 405 freeway. Corner store with plenty of parking as there is a private parking space but it does share with other stores. Food: Just like a Chipotle, you have many options to making your own bowls to a taco. I made my own bowl that had lettuce, roasted corn, feta, spicy lamb balls, feta cheese, and basmati rice. I also included some hummus, tzatziki sauce and a spice blend sauce called harissa(?). My first mistake was choosing the spicy lamb balls.. They were perfectly cooked on one side, but the underside was burnt. No good. Why is it so hard for places to cook lamb so it's not burnt? I suggest getting any of the dips if you want any on the side I also got the Aleppo tangerine drink. The drink was OK, but I think I would've been happier with some of the other drinks on tap. Summary: I think I would've been happier, not including any feta or if I had picked another protein choice rather than lamb balls. I took off a star for burnt meat. I took off another star for their dips. If you're going to include dips, can we please not plop them down in one area of your bowl? The idea is to be able to dip into them as much or as little as we want not have them covered in one entire area. A better idea would've been to ask them to include them separately from the bowl so, maybe that was on me. The rice was also hard as if not quite cooked enough or been kept too long in the warming bin. You're not limited to bowls either. You can have it in pita bread in salad or a bowl that includes both grains and salad. You also have your choice of picking one of their curated bowls instead of making your own, which I guess is the way to go if you're new. Would I come back? Hmmmmmm. Maybe. I would be willing to give it a go again, but maybe this time I'll be picking a curated bowl instead. Ambiance is fast casual and modern. Service was a bit hectic as they were busy with the lunch crowd, so no fault there. Price is mid to high depending on what your choices are for fillings. I included their roasted sweet potatoes so my total was about $25 with the fountain drink. Not exactly cheap. Was it worth it? Meh. I suppose if you want to feel more comfortable about your healthy option for food, you might be willing to pay a little bit more like anything else these days when eating out especially if you want healthy, you're going to pay for it.

citlali was very friendly @ the front ! so was the rest of the staff , 10/10 recomendaciones

I discovered this joint through social media and wanted to try it for myself. I opted for the kids meal because I wasn't too hungry and didn't want leftovers. I tried the chicken with tomato + cucumber and the roasted corn, I didn't see the fiery broccoli today but I'll have to try it next time I visit. The yogurt dill dip is my favorite, I wasn't too amazed by the crazy feta. I chose the pita chips as my side today but I would definitely pick carrots to dip it in the yogurt dill sauce next time, I find the pita chips to be a bit oily. I can see why this spot is popular, but if they had more staff on the line taking orders - it would be more efficient.

I came in on 9/13/25 at 11:10 am. I saw a lady coming out with a Cava bag so surely they must be open at 11. When I went inside, staff were taking their break and said they were closed- to come back in 15 minutes. As I walked by the front entrance, I noticed their hours said they opened at 10:45. I went to target and then came back. It was my first time at Cava so I had no clue what to order. I think it would be helpful to have the categories projected to view while waiting in line- or a QR code to view menu. I ordered 2 kids meals, and 2 bowls. I asked for a recommendation but the person attending me told me it was her second day- no worries. I decided to order grilled chicken for myself and my kids, and chicken shawarma for my husband. They had many things to choose from which was great but they were out of Feta cheese and they had just opened which was a let down. My bowl was good. I do wish that they had recommended getting the pita chips as I tasted my daughter's and they were a good pairing with her meal. The 3 stars were for the food. 1 on service- I felt like I was disturbing the time I was there after I was passed from the new hire over to the toppings/cashier.

Food (5/5): I am not a salad person, but I loved the food I ordered here! A yelp elite stated this…read moreis not a poke spot, and I somewhat agree. There dishes can come with either rice or salad and both can come with fresh fish you could find in poke. I had the best mate and there was a hefty amount! The tuna tasted fresh and everything in the bowl was harmonious. I'm not much of a health buff, but I truly appreciated how healthy the meal was while not compromising on taste. Price (5/5): Less than $20 for any poke bowl is an absolute plus for me. Ambiance (5/5): Obviously Stoke is found in the Enclave where there are multiple chairs and tables. On an extremely busy day I could see how it would get pretty tight since the tables are close together, but I never had that experience. Service (5/5): The food came out quick because its just an assembly line to put the bowl together. Just make sure you grab a buzzer if you want to grab another dish elsewhere.

Now...gotta keep in mind that food spots around Enclave probably have to pay a ton of money to rent their physical spots here, so I understand them and other places here having to charge more than other businesses elsewhere. The area is always nice, clean and organized. Staff is always super cool with great customer service. Seating area is good, especially since it is shared amongst the other Enclave businesses. Their cute little boxes with the logo make it look hella trendy; which fits their whole atmosphere. The actual salad wasn't bad and I would think vegans would really really really like this place more than us. Their chicken was seasoned pretty damn good. Wished there was more greenery, mandarin oranges for what we paid, but it's expected for a place like this. Stoke Salad is totally worth trying even at least once! Great alternative to the other food places around here too!

I had been passing by The Enclave and finally decided to check out what food places they have…read moretucked away there. Limone was a nice Mediterranean surprise. Went with my daughter at lunch time so it was a tad busy. We had to wait a bit for our food. I take that as a good sign, though. If there's a line and constant people then the food is probably pretty good. I ordered a Greek salad with Chicken shawarma and my daughter ordered a chicken shawarma plate. They were both quite tasty! I ordered my dressing on the side as I prefer to dip my salad in dressing rather than have it smothered all over & it turned out, I didn't even need the dressing! Everything has a touch of lemon (hence the name Limone) which made the flavor perfect without adding anything else! Not sure how they make their pita or naan bread but it was SUPER TASTY with a nice soft texture and very flavorful. Food tastes fresh and we didn't feel loaded down afterward. The Enclave is like a giant food court area with inside and outside seating along with activities. It's a really cool concept! There is plenty of parking and activities for just yourself or a group of your friends that are maybe just looking to grab a bite and chill out. They even have monthly activities. The Enclave is conveniently located at 190th/Vermont Ave off of Pacific Gateway. There are several other food places that I am looking forward to checking out from Pho, Hawaiian, Jersey Mikes's, Boba , coffee and much more! Check it out! And definitely try Limone! Food is delicious!

My husband and I ordered the harissa plate to share with the feta fries on the side. Everything looks fresh and amazing beforehand but I am a bit iffy with how pricey it was. Flavors were all there and it's great for sharing. I don't mind trying other food items on the menu next time we're in the area. I always enjoy the vibes here at Enclave! Everyone's friendly and the ambiance is on point. I highly recommend coming here to chill and meet up with others. It's spacious and lively. Definitely great for those with kids!

You place your order at the counter (you can use the ipad to order, except if you want the Fak'ed up fries, those you need to order with an employee). The shrimp - I could eat these forever. Holy toledos these are so good. I got the karaage chicken with the cheehoo teri sauce. The sauce is soooooo bomb. The chicken is perfectly cooked. And the red noon is the perfect addition of acidity. The Mac salad was great, stick to your ribs kinda good Now I ordered several other plates for my friend, including the teriyaki chicken, and the fak'ed up fries with shrimp and karaage chicken. He said the fak'ed up fries were fire, so good, he didn't even know that's exactly what he wanted. I have to come back to try them - I didn't know they were a thing bc they're not on the menu. But after I placed my original order I saw a video of the fak'ed up fries on their board and they looked so good, I had to buy them for him. I also got him the crispy spam musubi and the POGua Fresca, and he loved those. I will definitely DEFINITELY be back here!
