    Steak + Harissa
    Lo V.

    It was my first time here, and I was greeted by Ms. Princess, who was super helpful with the menu. I ordered the steak with harissa--so delicious! I will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you, Princess, for making my experience so great!

    Time for an updated review. While the service here can be hit or miss, the food is consistently good and relatively healthy. I typically order a BYO salad online for pickup, and I like that it calculates the calories for you. Don't forget to sign up for rewards - used mine today for harissa chips which were spicy, crispy goodness.

    First Time at Cava - Amazing Experience! After soo many people telling us to try CAVA, we finally decided to give them a try. Our 1st visit is one for the books. From the moment we walked in, the experience was great. Our server, Timi, was absolutely awesome. He took his time to explain the menu to both my daughter and I, walking us through all the options and helping us figure out which ones to try. The food was great and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Big shoutout to Timi for making our first visit such a great one and for allowing me to capture the moment. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

    This was my second visit to this Cava location. To be honest the first time I walked out and didn't end up buying anything because there was a long line and one employee working. The second visit (almost 3 months later) I came right before the lunch rush and there was again only one employee working. This employee was Taylor. She's a gem but really needs some assistance from her company. No one employee should be working the lunch rush. She was in charge of walk-in customers, online orders, building and ringing out the food and restocking items that were out. There was another gentlemen working but he was strictly on cooking duty. Taylor kept a positive attitude and built me the best darn lunch bowl I could have. Again, I've never had Cava before so she was nice enough to explain the menu to me and even went so far to recommend some of her favorites like the garlic dressing which was a great choice. The pitas that came with my bowl were warm and delicious. 5 stars for the food and service but to be honest I wouldn't recommend this location if you're in a rush.

    I love me some Cava! It's a frequent craving of mine when I don't feel like cooking, but want something semi-healthy and delicious! It's one of the best create your own Mediterranean bowl places, in my humble opinion. They have less topping options than a lot, but sometimes less is more when you've nailed the flavor profiles to perfection. Don't skip over the pickles, if you're a pickle person. Only skip the garlic sauce if you don't like flavor and don't want to become addicted. I get extra pita and dip it straight in. Soooo good! What is even better is that the helpings are so generous, I already have lunch planned for tomorrow!!

    Always order from this location when I'm in the neighborhood. Usually, I did a pick-up and never had an issue with my order. Always right and on time. Everyone is nice and pleasant. Restaurants are clean and have plenty of seating inside and outside patio seating. It's located in a shopping center so there are plenty of spots to choose from. I always order the build your own grains and greens bowl. Their falafel tastes amazing, and their lamb meatballs also. Definitely recommend this location.

    Delicious salad bowl balsamic date chicken bowl! The chicken, vegetables and rice were all in a savory sauce. I enjoyed the flavors. This was a weekday lunch time and very busy. There was a couple delays, with line prep and lunch crowd line but the food was excellent. They have some yummy cane sugar sodas. They also have house made lemonade and juice. The staff did their best and I will be back.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 This cava location always seems to be understaffed. They get a lot of to go orders and can't balance the in person foot traffic and online orders well. The staff is friendly but expect to wait a while. The food though... SO GOOD. You feel so healthy eating this "fast food" option!

    A amazing bowl.

All that was left was lids for my dressing, bread, paying, and leaving. Another customer walked in BEHIND me and instead of finishing my order, the employee completely stopped helping me and took the new customer through the ENTIRE line while I stood there waiting. I then had to wait 5-8 minutes while the second customer slowly decided on ingredients and changed her mind multiple times. The person behind me got almost full uninterrupted service while I -- the first customer in line -- was left standing there waiting. What made it even worse was the manager's response. He defended the employee, told me she "did nothing wrong," and completely dismissed my frustration with a "have a nice evening." The issue wasn't just the wait. It was being skipped over and then treated like my frustration didn't matter. I've been there around 5 times in the last month, but after this experience, I will never return.

    Get Schnitz-faced!!…read more In Yafo Kitchen has become my go-to spot in Charlotte, largely because of one dish: the schnitzel. If you're a schnitzel fan, stop reading and order it. Two generous pieces arrive shatteringly crisp with a beautifully seasoned panko crust that's never greasy. The chicken stays tender and juicy, and the fresh lemon wedges bring everything to life. It's one of those dishes that keeps pulling me back. My favorite side is the shell macaroni and cheese. Rich, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Together, the schnitzel and mac and cheese are comfort food perfection. I also love the self-serve organic Tractor beverages, the open kitchen concept, and how consistently clean the restaurant feels. The team is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and you can watch everything being prepared right in front of you. Parking is easy thanks to the shared shopping center lot, the outdoor patio along East Boulevard is pleasant, and the portions are generous for the price. Clean restaurant. Friendly people. Consistently delicious food. Yafo is one of those places that simply gets it right. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

Two of us got the create your own bowl option and the other did a create your own pita (and she wishes she would have done the bowl after seeing it). The bowls were served with a warm piece of pita. All of us opted for the chicken shawarma. I really enjoyed the sauces they off with your meals. And they have diet Dr Pepper on fountain, which was a wonderful bonus. It's counter service where you choose your options as you go down the line. After your meal, you leave your dishes at the table. It's very nicely decorated and very clean. We will be back to try some other options!

There's a beautiful, spacious patio, a small coffee shop and takeaway area up front, a cozy bar, and a main dining restaurant area. Their wine wall and overall selection are incredibly impressive.

You definitely won't be disappointed if you order the mussels, tuna, or scallops.
