I came to CAVA for their free grand opening . Upon entering everyone was really friendly and enthusiastic. The line was super long but it was about 7pm and a free dinner so a little line was ok. I was overwhelmed with the options and I felt pressured to choose what I wanted . It was all in my head not by the employees. I'm really basic when it comes to food so I don't think I took advantage of all the different options and flavors. Nonetheless, I did enjoy my chicken bowl and the spicy hummus was delicious !!! I did get a few sauces on the side because I was scared to mix it all in and not like it . The mixed veggies had a funny taste so I'm positive I didn't like them. The juices were way too sweet for me so I added water . Overall it was good, just not food I would eat normally . read more

This is the best fast food Mediterranean restaurant I've ever had! I love that it's healthy and you have different options to choose from to make it healthier or heartier. The meat is tender and warm. The place is super clean and I love coming here and will keep coming back. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Pickup was never on time. Just feels like these people have no incentive of working .

Always great service and food. The staff is always very welcoming. My go to is the build your own bowls

This location is usually always slow when I come in, and I have plenty of patience to wait as I have worked in food and bev for years. But tonight it took over an hour to get my food. I understand places are understaffed, but there was ZERO sense of urgency with a busy line and people waiting for pick up. All three employees were moving at a literal snail pace and everyone was very irritated. No acknowledgment to any of those waiting and has ruined my experience at this location, along with many others that were standing around waiting. read more

Best Mediterranean food in the area!! Green and Grain Bowl with pita chips and Greek vinaigrette

Great place to get lunch quick, ingredients are always fresh and the grain bowls are perfect for gluten free diets. the staff is fantastic and prepare everything without any long waits. The dining area is comfortable, clean and the music is never too loud read more

I love cava and the park road location is my favorite. They're all very nice and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Thnx Tina I'll be back soon! read more

I am SO HAPPY that CAVA opened this location. I've been obsessed with it since trying it in the University area! If you're looking for yummy, filling, and healthy "fast food" that is perfect to mash around in a bowl, CAVA is your place. I love mixing the black lentils with supergreens as my base, and it's hard to stay away from the falafel and roasted veggies. Their juices are always on point, as well! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Don't bother ordering online during peak hours unless you order an hour ahead as ASAP intentionally. They address all in-person orders first and then as the line ends, they fulfill most online orders. If you're lucky, they fulfill a couple (2-3) online ones during a long line. It's faster ordering when you arrive to the restaurant vs prior - what's the point of online ordering ahead if it's significantly much slower? Online orders have taken approx. 45 - 55 minutes (not "ASAP - 15 mins") to complete after paying on many occasions. In-person ordering is 15 mins. Food is fine, service is struggling - management should work on optimizing the store's operations and increasing staff during certain hours - I don't blame the kitchen staff (they are sincerely trying and exhausted) but upper management seems absent since this has been lagging for a long time this year. Other restaurants fare better during peak hours so I'll be taking that option after giving Cava so many chances. read more

I've only recently became aware of Cava and this was my second visit to the Park Rd location. The bowls are amazing!! The general manager was very kind and patient with me while placing my order given that I wasn't as familiar with the menu items. While they were busy, I observed how efficient the staff were and appreciated their efforts despite a little bit of a wait. I will definitely continue to come back to this location!! read more

Big fan of Cava. They have some employees who are kind and helpful but most of them aren't. Unfortunately food is also consistently inconsistent. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Today wasn't one of their good days. Corn was missing the "roasting" and the sauce that it's normally in, they were out of toppings, rice was too cold. I normally drive further to the location in the metropolitan area because they are so much better. read more

Delicious! Very spicy tho, I always get double harissa and siracha dressing so I appreciate the strong flavors and a reasonable price. Similar set up to chipotle. Ordering through the app is also really convenient. read more

I arrived to CAVA at 7:15 PM and my order was not ready (promised time was 7:15pm). The worker at the counter told me it would be up shortly. One worker was making rice, which I assume caused the delay. Once the rice was finished, the worker at the counter proceeded to start with one order. The order was for a customer that arrived before me. She then proceeded to make another order for somebody that arrived after me. Three customers walked in and went to the counter and got served by another worker before the to go orders were finished. By the time the worker got to my order, they ran out of chicken. My order, along with another customer's order had to be canceled because of this issue. The store was unable to process a refund and said we needed to contact the company to refund our order. This was very annoying. There was no reason the other workers that were there could not help make to go orders before walk in customers were served. Left the location at 7:27pm. read more

Eating healthy has always been scary to a friend of mine so when i brought her to Cava she was lost. Thank you to the wonderful young lady upfront for taking the time to expalin the product and ingredients with a smile. The bad part it was in the middle of lunch rush and she still was patient and very knowlegeable. I believe her name is Shay but she is awesome employee all the . I frequently come to CAVA and have had different experiences with the service and managers i will tell you whoever the mgr (medium height handsome fella) that was there yesterday is on his job and he is not playing.. Everything was fresh and meat was moist. Shout out to mgr, cook, and staff that keeps smile on their faces all the time... I will definately be back.... read more

The location on Park Road, i just left from there. I usually go to the one near university and i regret not going there because the women who were working on 6/24/2021 at 3:30 pm had the worst attitudes. I asked a worker what was in one of the add ons and she just pointed to the name not answering my question. I asked another worker for a top and she rolled her eyes. Horrible customer service. read more

CAVA is my favorite fast casual restaurant right now! The setup is like Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. They have several different options for salad, dips/spreads, protein and toppings. Very light and fresh. I've been several times and have enjoyed every visit! read more

Second time at this location they were very busy with only one person working she did amazing. The food was great cant wait to go back.

went in for my first time today and the employee Taylor was such a wonderful help. she made my order with love and made me feel welcomed. I will be returning for Taylor's great customer service. thank you so much Taylor. read more

First time here- staff was so friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. The harissa is the perfect amount of heat and love how fresh everything is! read more

This review is not about the food, it is about the preparation. This is the second visit for take out, and the second time they have shorted my wife's order. We picked up a couple of bowls a week or so ago and the food was actually pretty good, but my wife noticed her bowl was short the requested roasted corn, not a big deal, but it didn't make a good first impression especially since my order contained roasted corn indicating they were not out. My wife had to work late tonight, so I suggested we revisit CAVA. We placed our order on line and it was ready within ten minutes. When we placed our order tonight, I told the misses that the eggplant and red pepper dip was pretty good, so she added it to her order. When we got the grub home, the first thing I noticed is there was only one cup of dressing and it wasn't the yogurt dill that my wife ordered. I'm pleased to report that my wife's order had the roasted corn, but was short the eggplant red pepper dip. Somehow I get the impression that if I continue to patronize this establishment, at this rate, eventually I'll be paying $10 for an empty bowl. We used to comment that the Taco Bell around the corner from CAVA would NEVER get the orders right, but a visit last night at that restaurant had 100% accuracy, so it appears it is up to CAVA to firmly establish itself as the new king of shorting customers orders in the Park Road Shopping Center area! CONGRATULATIONS! read more

I'm always in search of the perfect build your own bowl restaurant and Cava has exceeded my expectations! The ingredients are always fresh and the combinations you can make are endless. I like that you can do half grains and half salad on those days when I'm not committed to a whole bowl of either. I highly recommend getting the Skhug dressing! It's the best dressing on the menu and will complete any bowl. read more

This location has consistently gone down hill over the last 6 months. I've never seen 5 people stand around behind the counter while 1 person works the entire food line at rush hour. In a previous meal here, rather than refill the pot of chicken, he scraped the bottom and I ended up with half a portion. You are better off saving your money and going to chopt salad across the parking lot. Likely not coming back here. read more

I'll never order from this location (park road) again. They fuck my order up every single time. Never again.

Very poor service. Visited the location at 8:30pm but the staff seemed to be done cooking for the night so they were out of almost everything. Associates bickering back and forth in front of me over preparing my food. This is the second time I've come to this location and they were out of food. I won't be back. read more

Great food! Great atmosphere and service, just had the best chicken pita in my life. Looking forward to my next visit!

It's ok. The flavors are lacking. It's like somebody forgot to add salt. The rice isn't really good. They should switch to jasmine versus the basmati. This is REALLLLY American Mediterranean fast food. YAFO is far better. read more

Excellent food selections, you can go vegan and leafy; you can have greasy, whatever soothes the choices are plenty full. This place is good food made well, fresh, and fast at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly; the place is clean and chic. When I want a heavy meal or something lite, this is where I come. read more

Not a bad first visit for me. I went in with no expectations and found that it is similar to a chipotle style food preparation and service style. I do appreciate seeing more pay at the counter type places pop up because I want more of these options as it makes quick dinners and takeout much more acceptable, accessible and cheaper especially for singles. I thought the quality of ingredients here was good not great and the spices used were not my favorite but I prefer Greek over middle eastern so this could be the case even though both styles are similar. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get but nothing too crazy and you should be full for around $10. Reasonably healthy if you play it straight. Nice option In Montford. read more

Went at an off time had no wait and the employee took the time to explain all the options as it was my first visit. I had a grain/salad bowl with the chicken. She had warned me that the one dip was spicy and the spice is no joke. They had 6+plus topping options. The olives and marinated onions were the best. Don't skip on the drink the Blueberry lavender was delicious and too sugary. read more

This store consistently never has mobile orders ready when the time is selected. In fact they won't work on it until you walk in the door. They also, can not follow directions on the order. This is the second time I have jot received my sauce and do not know until I am home. I'm not going back until they figure their stuff out. read more

Cava was delicious! I went on a Friday evening and the venue was very modern and nice, and there was not a long wait. We received great service and they really took the time to explain to us the ingredients that we did not know about. The food was really good, only downside was that the portion size was a little small. I was still hungry afterwards. read more

Delicious and quick. Love the atmosphere and the service. Soft open went so smoothly and I'm excited to add it to my staple of places in park road shopping center! read more

I ate at CAVA in NJ all the time and always had my bowl filled perfectly(Full Bowl). While bowls at this location are filled "Half Way", for some reasons employees here will give you only one tea spoon in any toppings you ask. What is with this saving, I wonder if they are being pressured by the management. It makes one feel uncomfortable having to ask for more for each filling. Employees should know better than leaving bowls half way empty. For the amount of money customers are paying, they shouldn't leave on an empty stomach. read more

Absolutely delicious food and excellent staff. Highly satisfied. We will definitely be back with our family.

Meh, nothing to write home about. Good, basic Mediterranean bowls, but Mezeh Grill is better with more variety and fresher food.

When I arrive to pick up my online order, I realized I had made a mistake. The staff was more than accommodating to make it right and exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food was excellent. read more

Cava has become a favorite of mine. I always get the bowl with half supergreens and half brown rice (best of both worlds), pick 3 sauces , protein had a good flavor due to the grill. Best falafels by far! Flavorful and not dry! Tea selection is also fun like the ginger tumeric limeade! read more

Great option for fully customized Mediterranean wraps and bowls. There's plenty of vegetarian options, as well as a full list of dietary compatibility for each item right on the menus which is very convenient. They also have a good selection of special juices, teas, and custom sodas. (Blueberry soda anyone? Yes, it's a thing here.) They were super helpful as it was our first time and willing to let us try pretty much any item or sauce we wanted before making our selections. It's a decent price as long as you maximize your bowl with their unlimited toppings. I wish they offered a few "crafted" (pre-designed) menu options too (for a change of pace from your norm or for those overwhelmed by too many choices), but all said and done, we were very happy with it and definitely would be happy to return. read more

Love this spot for lunch! Healthy options galore. Quick, clean, tasty and very budget friendly!
