    Never been disappointed with my cava bowl until I went to this place. Both the brown and white rice were hard! Don't know if it was undercooked or overcooked but it was not good. Long wait during school lunch hours but shouldn't be an excuse for hard rice..

    Healthy and yummy! You have to figure out which sauces you like to mix with your bowl for the best experience. I didn't have meat. Instead I ordered sweet potatoes and falafels. The sweet potatoes are the best. I choose only those next time. Thier service is great. This restaurant stays packed. 1st visit: Yummy!! Their bowls taste amazing and healthy for you. I don't like brussel sprouts, but they taste great at this location. I will be back and I'll bring a friend.

    Make your own bowl with chicken shawarma and grilled beef

    This is my first time at Cava. Small, fast casual, mediterranean restaurant. Very similar to a Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. Make your own bowl or pita wrap with different types of rice, greens, meats and other toppings. There are about 5 to 6 tables inside and no outdoor seating. The entire store facade is made of glass which brings in a lot of light and gives the space an open feel. The Nice modern interior and the pop music playing in the background gives it a good vibe. The AC was turned on at a perfect temperature. The noise level was medium to loud. I got a bowl with greens as the base. For meats, i got the chicken shawarma and the grilled beef. For toppings i got 2 types of hummus, grilled corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and pickled cabbage. The bowl came with a complimentary but optional slice of greek style pita bread. They also have fountain drinks. The greens and dressing was really good. On the other hand, the meats were not tender at all, cold and dry. As i was making my bowl, i barely stuck my hand over the food bar window to remotely point at an item in order to ask my hostess what the item was. Before she would even answer my question, and as i was already retrieving my hand, she unnecessarily snapped and asked me to remove my hand. And then she rushed me through the rest of the process. I understood why but it was still unnecessary. I did not appreciate that but i kept my cool. Prices are consistent with other similar fast casual food restaurants. My bowl was a little over $17. The amount of food was just right. Not too much nor too little. Based on this experience i would probably not go back but you can try it for yourself and formulate your own opinion. It would still be a good spot for a quick lunch especially if you are vegetarian or Vegan.

    Yes...as previous posts say...get your wallet ready. The food is tasty but not trying relinquish my right arm for some Mediterranean food. Ugh. In the words of John Travolta Faceoff....What a predicament? Thr pita chips are slap yo mama good. What's a hungry chick to do?

    I ordered on Uber Eats to save time and received this. This location severely skimps on their bowls. There are about 5 spoons of food in this entire bowl, a very small rice/greens base, and maybe about 5 pieces of chicken? I think the base should definitely be a bigger proportion. The bowl had so much space in it left. Save your money and time and don't order here!!! I've been going here since they opened but getting an UberEats order and them being okay sending a bowl out like this is crazy. Debated driving to the store but seeing the reviews, it sees like this is a known issue, and it'd be counterintuitive since I got an UberEats to save time.

    We were in the mood for Mediterranean food and have never tried Cava, so I stopped by to pick up a to-go order. On a Saturday at 5:45pm, they were very busy and every table inside was occupied. The ordering line was moving pretty fast and it was only a few minutes before it was my turn to order. The two employees who prepared my order, and the cashier were all friendly and pleasant. I had the Steak + Feta pita ($16.65). When I unwrapped it, I was surprised at how large it was, which help offset the sticker shock. The pita was nice and fresh, and the feta cheese and garlic dressing definitely stood out. The portion of steak was ok, but several pieces were chewy or all gristle. I was almost going to order a side, but I'm glad I didn't since the pita was very filling on its own. I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I would order it again for almost $17. She had the Greek Salad bowl with chicken ($12.95). The salad was a good size with flavorful ingredients. They forgot to add the fiery broccoli that I requested. The salad also contains corn which was not on the online or in-store menu, so be careful if you are allergic or don't care for it. She enjoyed the salad and would order it again. It was a hot day and one of their fresh drinks sounded good, so I tried a small cucumber mint lime ($3.45). It was very refreshing with all flavors present. But it had a lot of chopped up mint in it which gave it a slight graininess, and a lot of the bits kept getting stuck between my teeth. I wouldn't order it again for such a small cup at that price. Overall, it was pretty good. Some of the items are a little on the pricey side, but the portions are pretty big. I would return once in a while, but probably not regularly.

    Brought my daughter to visit csuf and she said we must stop at CAVA. So glad we did. It was delicious. So many choices. Only down side was limited seating. We ended up eating next door at 5 Guys patio area.

    Staff is always so helpful at this location! Food is always fresh too! Downside is just rushes tend to hit location harder so the line might be a little intimidating. The team moves it pretty quickly though

    So glad they opened a Cava in Fullerton, so I no longer have to go down for Irvine to get it. This location has less seating than the Irvine location, but luckily we could eat at the outside tables by Five Guys. I thought the food here was good. However the steak was a bit dry

    Kids Meal! Not pictured, the drink!

    I haven't had Cava in years and recently visited when my coworkers suggested we go for lunch. I ordered a wrap and a side of pita chips and a drink. Everything was really good, but I had no idea what I liked or didn't like so I was even thinking, should I give this place another chance? I ended up watching a TikTok that showed up in my algorithm of the best kids meal and Cava had a great one. I got a kids meal my next visit and they were right, it's the best value for your money and I didn't feel over-full after I ate it. For about eight dollars and some change I can get an entree, side, drink and another side. I figured out that I like the grilled chicken wrap with pita chips, strawberry-ade, rice and/or yogurt sauce. I also recommend the pita chips! It reminds me of really good fry bread. The service here is always great. I always get my order via the app and they have it ready by the time I get there OR they are always greeting me when I arrive and let me know my order is almost complete. This location has the worse parking situation (it shares the lot with a gym & Del Taco among other restaurants and shops) and the indoor dining area is for parties of 1 to 2 people, so don't expect to find a big table for all four or more of your friends unless it's a slow day/time. There is a restroom and it's clean. They are located on the southeast corner of State College and Chapman ave.

    Their food is delicious. I love their Turkish Salad, but I am not seeing it on their menu!!! So…read moresad....

    Pita Hot has been around a long time. Tucked inside of a mini-plaza on Chapman in Fullerton, Pita…read moreHot has long been surrounded by Fullerton food staples such as Huntington Ramen, Roll & Grill, and Curry Hut. But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10.
