Linda R.

New to the area, I love the concept. Sort of like Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. The place gets busy but the line did move along. Limited indoor seating and two tables outside. Staff do not present a good look for the company. They sort of grunt a "what do you want?" And they come across super disinterested in the whole process. We seemed to be bothering them with our presence. Food was fresh and very good so I'll give them another try. Parking was good but busy lot. You may have to walk a bit to get to the restaurant.

Hard pass. Tiny portions, stingy with veggies & tzatziki. Out of silverware, staff has attitude. Not worth the price.

Everything the staff, atmosphere bathroom wasn't clean tables are all sticky they didn't have a table rag to clean Don't waste ur money check out Al Maidah Mandi House 388 Boston Post Rd E, Marlborough, MA 01752 or Fattoush Grill & Bakery 10 Blake St, Northborough, MA 01532 u will get ur money's worth

CAVA is a solid go-to for healthy Mediterranean eats, served in either bowl or wrap form depending on your vibe. The staff were friendly and kept the line moving fast, which is always appreciated. The space was clean with a nice, casual ambiance -- good for a quick bite or even sitting down for a bit. I went with a build-your-own wrap, and it was loaded (in a good way). Definitely packed to the point where I had to hold it carefully or risk it falling apart. The ingredients were fresh and everything tasted great together. For the portion and quality, it's a great value. Would definitely come back again.

Very good and fresh food. They really freeze the place though haha so bring a jacket if you want to sit inside. The service was very good and quick . I will Definitely come back here to eat !

Ordered for 6:15pm pickup; Received at 6:40pm after having to go into the restaurant and waiting 25 minutes; Finally get to eat at 8:59pm

If I owned Cava and I picked up my order and experienced what I did, I would've fired everyone working in the restaurant on the spot. I am 37 years old and I am not lying when I articulate that this was the worst service I've ever received - from Dunkin Donuts to McDonalds to Legal Seafoods to high end restaurants. Hands down the worst service EVER! I placed an order for a pick up of one steak harissa bowl set for a 6:15pm pickup at the Cava in Framingham at 1 Worcester Road. I had to drop my daughter at her school at 6:00pm (9 minutes away from Cava) to get ready for her performance and be back at the school by 7:00pm for the show. We arrived at the pickup window at 6:17pm. There were two cars in front of us. We didn't get to the window until 6:23pm. Then, we waited at the window for someone to come over for approximately 5 minutes. When the young woman came to the window she opened the window and stared at us, so I said my name and "it's for one steak harissa bowl." She stared blankly back at me, so I asked "what information do you need?" She responded with a nasty tone and attitude, "your name." I responded, that is my name and repeated it again. She closed the window and never returned. We waited at the window for another 5+ minutes. Several individuals working inside passed by the window and looked at us, but didn't open the window to get our order. Finally, it was almost 6:35 and we had to get back to my daughter's school for her performance at 7pm, so my husband pulled up in front of the restaurant and walked in. When he went inside he said that the man at the counter was making someone's order, but was moving at a glacial pace. He described it like the sloth from Zootopia (if you haven't seen the movie it's fantastic and there is a sequel coming out soon). My husband asked the man if he could get his order as he had been waiting outside for a while and the order was prepared for pickup at 6:15pm so was likely ready. The man just stared at him and kept doing what he was doing. With multiple people working, no one could bother to help anyone at the drive through or with pick-up. Finally, after asking again, the man handed my husband the order. It took approximately 25 minutes from when we arrived at Cava to receive my pickup order. Needless to say we were almost late to the show and I didn't get to eat anything before going in. As a result of this poor service, I didn't get to eat my order, which was prepared for 6:15pm, until 8:59pm. I have photos that document all of this because I was just appalled by the lack of care and consideration for the customer. Despite the food still being okay almost 3 hours later, I was starving at that point. And, this is not how I think anyone should experience a food pickup. The purpose of a pickup time and drive through is fast service. This was slower than some sit down restaurants. I can't believe I paid for a meal that I waited 25+ minutes for and didn't get to eat until almost 3 hours after I picked it up. I especially wish I had known so I would've put the dressing on the side (wilted lettuce is less than ideal. I hope this is not indicative of the standard and expectations for customer service at Cava and believe that you should do something to ensure this never happens again. Thanks for listening.

Child pita with chicken
Johnnetta F.

Greeted upon entering. We each took turns ordering our dishes. TY was very helpful with the voices of dressings for my bowl and it was delicious. Variety of healthy drinks. Inside and patio seating. We always take pita bread to go.

Food came out fast and was delicious. I love that they have a kids menu with drink options as well. I'm not familiar with the area so not sure if it's a new location. Hence, I wasn't sure if it was even open because there were no other reviews.

Grilled chicken
Whitney S.

Quick lunch but it was amazing. The staff is amazing and always makes the best combos. We also love the blueberry soda.

Grilled chicken bowl

This was my first time trying CAVA, and I must say I am throughly impressed! The food was absolutely amazing! You can tell all of the ingredients are quality and fresh, and all of the sauces really brought the flavors together. I am a sucker for Mediterranean cuisine, so this was the perfect place to get my fix. The staff was super helpful in guiding through the menu in a fast-paced environment, and I did not feel rushed at all. Beware- this is a fairly small location, so there are only about 5 tables inside and 2 outside. Also only 2 bathrooms. It gets a little tight and you are sright next to the line. However, both the dining room and bathrooms are very clean, which makes for a pleasant dining experience. Here's an order I definitely recommend- basmati white rice, grilled chicken, tzatziki, hummus, tomato-cucumber, pickled onions, avocado, feta, and a lemon vinaigrette drizzle. Pair that with a side of pita chips and you're rolling. Absolutely delicious!!!

What a great place! I wish I lived closer. Excellent tasteful and plentful food, full of flavor…read more reasonably priced. Super nice staff. All the condiments available to add to the dish include six different olive oils, sumac, chili pepper chips salt pepper sauce and all the various sauces and more typical items like muskets and ketchups are in the refrigerator as they should be, not sitting out day after day In uninspiring containers. Super clean and neat place with wonderful food. Inside and outside seating.

The reviews for this place caught my eye as I do like Mediterranean Turkish cuisine. I noticed that they had standard fare as well as lots of veggie and vegetarian options on their menu. I decided to run in quickly with my order for a beef gyro as well as an eggplant gyro. My first impression was that the place is cute casual and clean. The friendly staff member took my order and after a short wait, I was given a neatly packaged small shopping bag. I appreciated the disposable plates and utensils that were included without my asking, and am always iffy about eating on the go. I am not a fan of messy so there is that haha. Let me just say that I was completely satisfied with my gyros as they tasted great. They also added a nice amount of tzatziki sauce just as requested yum. It was delish, so much so that I scarfed it down without taking any pictures. This was indeed an enjoyable late lunch!

*takeout* I've been eyeballing this place for a while as it…read morealways pops up on yelp when searching for dinner. It's weird because the online ordering is through Uber eats or DoorDash, but their full menu is not listed there. Called to order directly for pickup. The portions don't look that big in the takeout container, but they're actually fine and filling. - The Bolognese $24 has a cream sauce on the side and very meaty but filling - the bucatini $22 was OK, but left a weird aftertaste, perhaps from the guanciale? - It doesn't come with bread so you either have to order the cheesy garlic bread $9 or the focaccia with olive oil $5. The focaccia was delicious and so is the olive oil that comes with three big pieces - calamari $17 look good, but was a little rubbery/overcooked. Probably not the best choice for For takeout. Need to give it a try in person. - the cannolis were on the smaller side. If you're looking for traditional, these are not that...But they tasted fresh and crunchy with interesting flavors. Hazelnut chocolate chip and pistachio. I'd like to try the pizza which looks delicious next time and some of the appetizers. It's a little on the pricey side.

I ordered chopped. We were both brought Caesar. I really didn't care so chose not to change. I hate having someone wait to eat while I wait for the correct order. Ordered eggplant parm, my go-to at Italian restaurants. One of the waitstaff asked how was my "chicken parm" which made me question what I was eating as it tasted and looked nothing like any eggplant parm I've ever eaten. I called over another server and stated that I ordered eggplant and this seems to be chicken. They assured me it was correct-that they layer it like lasagne. If I wanted lasagne, I would have ordered it. It was awful. Couldn't eat it. Portion size was inconsistent. My dining partner ordered the same thing (also couldn't eat it) but hers was a much thicker portion served over considerably more pasta. The pasta was the only good part. Not likely to be returning.
