    Kids Meal

    I was nearby so I stopped by CAVA for a quick meal and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, tasted great, and the portions were good. The line moved pretty fast, and everything was made just the way I wanted it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving something healthy but still filling. I did not pay attention the the ambiance but the seats were a little dirty but other than that the place looked clean. Way better location than the one near town center.

    Got the greens and grains chicken and was healthy and delicious. It's was also fulfilling. The cucumber and mint drink was also refreshing! I'll be back here again to try more things in the menu!

    Hopefully it's enough!

    I probably wouldn't have tried CAVA if not for feeling that I wasn't eating enough healthy food recently. I normally don't go for these types of places as I usually don't get filled up enough due to stingy portion sizes. That is not the case with CAVA, I ordered online since there was one 4 minutes away from my hotel and I didn't need to get stuck in going home traffic in the area. I ordered online through the Yelp link and kind of tried out the online ordering system with less than high hopes that I would get what I wanted. I was surprised that it was easy to order what I wanted and the resulting bowl was pretty heavy in portion size. It is also full of flavor as well. I go for the half chicken/roasted vegetables with half greens/grain. I really enjoy the black bean grains as it adds to the texture of the meal. The chicken is good and the dips and sauces are all really tasty. The store itself is so so. It looks like any make your own pizza, salad, bowl place with a slow down with customers choosing their ingredients. The floor was a little sticky as I think someone may have dropped a drink as there was a drink bar near the take out order areas. I usually order at my hotel and it's ready within a few minutes of my arrival so about ten minutes from online order to in my hands. I have been here twice and both times, there were a lot of customers so I believe they are very popular. This meal really fills me up and I feel good after eating my meals here. Overall, I enjoy taking out from CAVA a lot and I appreciate the food prep personnel as they do a good job.

    Take out | Dinner | $10-20 I have purchased food from here on many occasions but tonight my food is ice cold. I purchased the lamb what a waste of $$. It was cold, The rice was cold not really sure what was going on, but the attendant seems very distracted with people coming to visit. I'm assuming they either workday or I used to work there. I only live about five minutes away and my food should not be this cold like it is cold to the touch like rice, cold lamb. This by far is probably the worst experience I've had with CAVA and I have been eating from this location for several years now I'm really disappointed. The lamb was fatty, I not sure it was even Lamb. I think I'm going to stay away for a while.

    Decided try something different other than chiptole and I have not been back to chiptole since. The food is so good with a varitety of options that you can add to your bowl. The service is always great, they allow you to sample items that you are unsure about as well as put things on the side. The ambiance is a nice for a quick casual lunch gathering with 1-2 people.

    I had a yummy dinner at CAVA. I got spinach and chicken with hummus. Tzatziki sauce was amazing! It was delicious! Everything was super fresh even though it was late in the evening. Staff is friendly. Place was clean. It was busy even in the at 9pm. This place is popular but line goes fast. It was a pleasant experience at CAVA!

    Can never go wrong with Cava. Tired of the 4th of July BBQ so needed something different. I rarely actually sit down and eat in there but it's always a nice atmosphere. The people were friendly and had my order ready when I came in. I got the spicy lamb meatballs which are not spicy but still good. The garlic sauce is a must. Definitely brings everything together. The hot harissa chops are good. Wish they would bring back the ranch chips. Overall great good with great service.

    Good food, good service - that's always a good start! I popped in here the other night to grab a healthy meal. I got the Greek Salad with a few modifications. I needed some extra veggies so I added them, and the char was just enough. I also had tahini Caesar and Greek vinaigrette on the side since I had a little drive before I'd eat. I didn't want my salad to be soggy. I added the roasted eggplant dip to the hummus and tzatziki that accompany this dish. The salad was super tasty. I think the Newport News restaurant spoiled me though; I was looking for my pita bread :-( I didn't need the bread! They have plenty of tables and seating options. I like how the drink cooler is right when you walk in - smart marketing strategy. They even have still and sparkling water in aluminum bottles!

    Order with app. Skimped on food and it was slopped in bowl and like it was shaken up. The staff was terse and rude, especially the manager.

    I stopped by to pick up dinner for me and my boyfriend. We ordered a medium cheese pizza, large…read morefries, and garlic knots. I don't think the pizza was the best I've had, but overall thought it was solid! The garlic knots were way bigger than I expected, but unfortunately they weren't quite to my taste, not really garlicky enough and a little too crispy for me. It seemed like a nice mom and pop shop. The owner was kind and welcoming :) I would return to try other items on their menu, but would skip the garlic knots next time. He did mention that they're closing in a month though :( So if you're in the area, go out and support while you still can!

The tzatziki was also ok. We also got a baklava sampler, probably the best thing we got this day. The service was good and service was quick. I chatted with the owner who is originally from Egypt. We chatted about his terrible timing in opening restraints, as he opened this establishment just before COVID, and in Egypt he opened a restaurant just before the 2011 revolution. He also took a few minutes to tell me about the giant picture of Alexandria, Egypt... not Virginia. We chuckled that the traffic could be equally bad at both. This is a pretty big take out place, and the neighborhood could go either way. I'd try their shawarma or falafel, but pass on the gyro.

    This place is not it. I got a chicken bowl and a hummus bowl. They only had a handful of toppings -…read morethe chickpeas weren't seasoned- taste like they came straight from the can. The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow. The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

I got a bowl of chicken and lamb with everything in it. I saw a a few customers before me ordered the falafel and thought it must be something I got to try, so I ordered some as well. At checkout I couldn't decide which sauce to choose and ended up with four different sauce to try. The food was fresh and the flavors were just right. Also, found out the falafel would not be something I personally will crazy for. The four sauces I tried and describe as... 1) Garlic - similar to ranch 2) Harissa Aioli - similar to ranch yet a tad spicy (My favorite) 3) Tahini - similar to light ranch with a very light touch of sesame butter 4) Amber - tangy and a bit bitter with turmeric Either I was already sleepy when I had the food or the food had me feel sleepy afterwards. Overall, it was worth a try.

We've loved it, quite literally. But after today and sheer number of problems, we doubt we would ever return, and that's very sad to us. We went after church. We were the ONLY customers there. I saw them doing a Door Dash order or two, but basically it was just us, a party of 4. One server working the floor. Our order. Wife got the beef-souvlaki Greek salad. Daughter a Greek gyro. Son a 16" pizza half pepperoni half grilled chicken. Me a 16" supreme pizza. I even talked to the server about "supreme" and she was like yeah, oh yeah, I got you, I know what that is. And I said I really like heavy toppings, especially the olives and mushrooms. I heard her literally go tell the cooks that. She returns to tell me they have NO ONIONS TODAY! What else for my pizza. Disappointed, no onion? It's Noon on a Sunday and we are the only customers. Ok, sub with tomato. Daughter loved her gyro. She said best ever. She doesn't like opinions, so it's perfect, she didn't have to pick them off. She loved it. Wife gets her souvlaki- beef Greek salad. NO ONIONS. She didn't tell her that. My wife wants those darn onions on a salad, to be sure. But wait, wait... also no Feta cheese at all on this Greek salad. But wait, there's more. The beef, every piece, is so tough, it's like tire rubber. Truly. None of us can chew it up. Literally, it's THAT bad. You're telling me the cooks didn't know it was tire rubber??? My pizza. Smelled good. But, very very SPARSE toppings! I asked for extra. I heard her tell them extra. Nope, just a light sprinkling of veggies. Darn. BUT WAIT! This Supreme had exactly ZERO meats. Zero. And just a light sprinkling of before toppings. My son's pizza? Half pep, half CHEESE. WHERE'S THE GRILLED CHICKEN??!?!? And the waitress is very unattentive, playing on her phone, not looking at us. Very hard to get my drink refills. I finally waive a cook over, the server is still on her phone. I said the pizza was supposed to have grilled chicken, and the beef on the salad was tire rubber, 100% inedible, replace with chicken, please. So they grilled some chicken up and brought it for the pizza and another salad for my wife. Still no feta cheese. Stayed tuned folks, the best is yet to come. The chicken made the pizza much better. My wife was already put off by the tire rubber beef they actually served her, and no onion and feta on a Greek salad. She just wanted to run the heck out of that place. But wait.... The coup de gras. While picking through the lettuce on her salad, we found a BABY COCKROACH , yep, alive and crawling around. We were about to go ballistic with all these screwups, and I just decided to not complain, and to never return, and voice it in a Yelp review, so others are aware Papa's Greek has come off the tracks, and needs to find its self again....... They were lost as lost can be today.
