    Cava is awesome. I love Mediterranean flavors so this place was definitely one i was excited about. Also the portions are perfect. Most people would probably not be able to finish the bowl i received, but I'm a big eater. I was full after! I no longer take my business to Chipotle which has staff that doesn't care, dirty restaurants and the worst portion sizes Cava is my go to for fast (healthier) food. I hope Cava keeps this up because I'm a huge fan. I love the food and the portions.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    For the amount of money each item costs and the size of the portions (very small) I won't be returning and wasting my money.

    Very nice place for a wine pairing dinner…read more We came as part of a team building function for the wine pairing. The service was swift and the food was good.

    I was excited to try Enoteca because I'd heard such great things about it. Unfortunately I should…read morehave listened to the negative reviews because we had a truly terrible experience here. When we were seated there were about 5 other tables seated in the restaurant. The host took us to our seats and gave us our menus. He then came back to take our drink and food orders and that is literally the last time we saw him or had any waitstaff at our table at all. There was waitstaff taking care of all the other tables, but no one ever came over to us. After sitting for 15 minutes without drinks I had to go up the bar myself! The gentleman behind the bar was very nice and said that our drink orders (a coke and a Chianti) were never put in. He got them for us right away. After another 10 minutes I got worried that our food hadn't been put in so I went back up to the bar and the gentleman went to check in the kitchen and said it would be right out. He was not a server but was nice enough to get our food and bring it to us. No one ever came to our table after that. The Chianti was terrible, I only drank about 3 sips because it tasted like vinegar. The pizza was ok. I really like pesto but this one didn't complement the pizza. The gnocchi with vodka sauce was fine too. When we were done I had to GO BACK to the bar and ask if I could pay our bill. He apologized and admitted it wasn't right that we never had a server. A manager was sitting and eating at the bar. He heard everything I said to the waiter and didn't say a word to me. He was also quite close to our table and saw that no one was coming over!! He just walked away after I sat back down to gather my things to leave. I honestly didn't want to even pay the bill but we did eat some of the food so I paid it. I will never, ever go back. I can't believe they treated us like that. Stay away.
