    TWO hairs wrapped around the arugula. This location always has something wrong but this takes the cake.
    Jessie Elizabeth J.

    I've ran the gamut of issues here like uncooked lentils (which can be toxic), wilted scummy greens, the liquid from the meat being thrown into my bowl, and today they forgot my pita - but also after finding not one but TWO long hairs in my salad today, I think I am done with Cava. Mendocino Farms nearby is much more fresh, larger quantity, and the workers don't look miserable!

    Good Lordy this place is my actual heaven. I LOVE Cava! I've only ever gotten the grain bowl here and it would take a lot for me to ever deviate from this order because it's perfection in my opinion. I typically order ahead and pick up my order on the counter and have no issues. Every now and then they'll forget the free pita, and the parking is a pain in this area. But the food is always fresh and delicious. My go to order: Saffron Basmati Rice, Crazy Feta®, Harissa, Roasted Eggplant Dip, Harissa Honey Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, Salt-Brined Pickles, Tomato + Onion, Fire Roasted Corn, Fiery Broccoli, Tomato + Cucumber, Persian Cucumber, Kalamata Olives, Shredded Romaine, Lemon Herb Tahini, Free Side Pita, Skhug

    Falafel pita, doesn't taste better than it looks

    I've seen Cava all over and have never tried it before. I've heard it's like the "Chipotle" of Mediterranean food where you can pick and choose toppings and build your own bowl. I'm visiting a friend in Denver and didn't have a lot of time to eat so decided to pick up Cava since it was nearby. I appreciate the fact that there are plenty of vegan options and everything is clearly labeled with ingredients spelled out so I know what sauces and toppings I can pick. I decided to go for their Falafel Pita just to get a good taste of the most commonly ordered veggie option. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. The falafel is the weirdest falafel I've ever seen. It looked baked and a color I've never seen falafel before. Usually falafel is dark brown on the outside and greenish/yellow/brown on the inside but this was all light brown throughout. The wrap was decent, you can easily find way better pita bread in grocery stores. The veggies seemed fine but the sauce was way too tangy and acidic and didn't balance out the wrap very well Overall, I almost tossed the whole thing but decided to save half and ate it later when I was hungry without the option to get food quickly again. Not bad pricing for the portion size, especially since there's no upcharge for veggie protein. But I don't see myself coming back to try Cava again anytime soon.

    Great place to get a fresh healthy meal. The Mediterranean version of Chipotle. Definitely would recommend. We went on a Sunday afternoon and they were a little short handed, but so worth the wait. Nice portion sizes.

    Chicken / rice bowl + every sauce & topping available

    2023 S Colorado Blvd unit 101 - What lovely "fast food" service! I walked in pretty stressed and distracted (& having not been to CAVA in about two years I wasn't sure what I wanted) and the staff member who helped me was so patient and kind. They also have a thorough allergen menu and it's great for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian.

    Charged me $2 extra dollars because I asked for a little more rice. Worst Cava I've been to. Go to the one downtown.

    I had an amazing dining experience at Safta!…read more The wine list is well curated, both the BTG and bottle list was impressive. We chose an Areni wine, the Yacobian Hobbs. I was excited to try after watching a documentary on the Somm channel about that specific winemaker. The wine was delicious. Additionally, I was so happy to see small boutique wine from the Santa Barbara area like Amevive and A Tribute to Grace. Our server Yvonne guided our menu choices thoughtfully and enhanced our experience with excellent service. We started with watermelon feta salad with baby cilantro, walnuts, and harissa oil. The watermelon was cool, sweet, and crisp and the flavors balanced perfectly. If you are a pickle lover you must get the pickles. I think I will be dreaming of them. The pickled cabbage, okra, califlower and snap peas were just the best! The pitas were puffy, but not hollow, and warm. There was also an olive oil dipping sauce that complemented everything. Star of the show for me was the forgaged mushrooms and hummus. These were the most delicious mushrooms and snoothest hummus I have ever experienced, and I think there might be magicians in the kitchen. Our other dishes were cabbage and eggplant. Both taste explosions, done masterfully with a sauce, color and texture. This food is truly incredible, highly recommend. I am in Denver for work, anytime I travel back to Denver I will for sure return to Safta.

So unexpected, refreshing, and delicious. This isn't just a place to grab something to eat--it's an experience. Go hungry, order a bunch of things, share everything, and experiment. Definitely a must-try.

Many more had shown up here before we left, however. As it was happy hour, we tried three different appetizers: falafel with hummus, dolmas, and harissa carrots. All were delicious and ended up being rather filling. My wife and I both had the lamb gyros, while my daughter had the chicken shawarma. While the dishes didn't appear to be a huge amount of food, they ended up being plenty. Everything had really nice flavor. As it was my wife's birthday, she got the free baklava for dessert. My daughter and I both thought it was fantastic...maybe one of the better baklavas we've had in a long time. My wife thought it was fine but has had other versions she'd liked better. Service was quick and strong from the start. All food came out surprisingly fast. We'd come here again if on/near Tennyson Street and in the mood for a good Mediterranean experience.

    This place is DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. I got the gyro plate and my friend got a falafel sandwich,…read moreand together we paid about $38 + tip for our meals. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the price differential between these two items is about $5 and instead of itemizing our receipts, our waiter just split it in two, overcharging my friend and undercharging me. It seemed very incongruent to the rest of our otherwise excellent experience here.

    I have to start out my review by mentioning that I was in University Hills the other week for the…read morefirst time in a long time and was excited to try one of the middle eastern restaurants down there (in lieu of Damascus, my former go-to in the area). I won't say which, but boy, was it a letdown. The falafel were like little hockey pucks and the pita were like cardboard, flat and stale-tasting. I didn't think you could screw up pita. Only the hummus was passable. All this to say that I have been SPOILED by moving within walking distance of the Byblos in Alamo Placita, which is where a little taco place used to be. It's in a sweet little spot with patio seating on the corner of 4th and Corona, but the draw is really the food. I can't vouch for the meat dishes as a vegan, but WOW is their pita soft, fresh and flavorful, and they replenish it readily. Their hummus is excellent, their baba ghanoush is the best I've had since leaving the greater Boston area (with its abundance of outstanding ethnic restaurants) and the eggplant moussaka is fantastic. Plus they put this fully vegan cream dressing on the garden salad that is out of this world. Byblos has completely ruined me for a lot of other restaurants. As I'm writing this I think I've talked myself into going there for lunch!
