Man this Cava made my day. I ordered double meat, and yes I asked for a little extra of my favorite toppings. Usually, my fat ass is never content. But this location on this particular day...listened to everything I asked and didn't skimp as if their jobs were on the line or as if I was taking away from their plate. I must have said I appreciate it like four times. I'm definitely coming back here. They took care of me!! read more

Nice concept. However I was expecting something more authentic. No traditional pita and the falafel was something totally unexpected. I'm big on texture and don't care for this soft mushy version of what they're calling falafel. No, I say pass. read more

I've been to the one in Columbia many times, but was nearby this location and hoped it would be as good. I think it was ... the nice thing is its a little less full than the on in Columbia (or maybe i just got lucky). The parking is tougher here though. The food is fresh and tastes excellent. I'm a huge fan of their harissa. read more

First timer at cava! I was feeling inspired after attending an elite event in the area so decided to take the hubs here to try something new. The best way to describe Cava in terms of restaurant style is: Mediterranean chipotle. On a Friday night it was not too crowded which I'm not sure why because I really enjoyed the food! The restaurant was large and clean and all the ingredients looked fresh. I chose to get the grain and green bowl which is a combination of lettuce and rice with whatever toppings you choose. I'm usually not into Mediterranean cuisine but I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh flavors and healthy options! Definitely recommend going half and half on the meats!!! I got the falafel and chicken which were BOMB. I tried literally all of the veggies available and the lemon sauce at the end with the crispy pitas. Make sure to ask for extra pita bread and enjoy this healthy to go option! read more

Quick, easy and healthy Mediterranean bowls. The app is super easy to use and they have a nice reward system. Since this particular location is always swamped, sometimes they get a little stingy with the ingredients if you're ordering in the line. Preorder for pick up to avoid the line and your bowl will be better too. read more

I have only been here once but I think I can have a fresh, healthy food relationship with Cava. I will be back soon to try another dish. Cava is similar to Chipotle's ordering system. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Cava is like Chipotle for mediterranean food, but only in the way that you can pick and choose your food. When it comes to the ingredients and the way the food is prepared it's in a league of its own. I was blown away with how fresh everything was. The braised lamb meat is just ridiculous, and just based on that alone they had me hooked. I can't wait to come back. The staff was really helpful, and got us through our first time. They explained what was what, and even offered suggestions. I hope that we get one of these in the crofton area... read more

Unfortunately, I think cava went down. It use to be popular in 2014 when it first started becoming known. A customer who sat next to me asked me are pita bread they give us this small? I said I remember it use to be bigger than what comes with the meal. She said yeah! She went to go ask and they said the pita bread is mini now. My cava bowl was 13$ because I've decided to get shredded lamb. I think the price went up. We only can choose 1 dressing at the end. We only get 3 dips, more is extra. My bowl was small it wasn't filling. they don't give much rice. I think mezzeh is better because some days they do 5$ bowls and their pita bread is much bigger with unlimited toppings and drippings to chose from! read more

Big fan of Cava. I am so glad this location exists. I live nearby and love stopping by either on a weekend or during lunch break to pick up a bowl. The staff here is always friendly, and their ingredients are always fresh. They are never out of ANYTHING which is a joy - and it's just the best! If you've never been, imagine a chipotle but with Mediterranean food. You pick as much greens, grains and toppings that you want. My go-to is a splendid greens/rice bowl with chicken (extra) and all the toppings and lemon tahini. They have an awesome app which makes ordering easy as well. However, it seems like they don't give you the same amount of food when it's a mobile order. This makes it easy to pop in and just grab your bag off the shelf and go! Basically, if you're looking for a healthy and quick lunch/meal - definitely stop in! read more

This location didn't skimp on the portions of their bowls as another Anne Arundel Co. location did earlier in the week. The food was delish.

They ripped me off!! Ordered two entrees with pitas and paid extra for two additional pitas. Out of 4 pitas, I got one. One bowl they forgot the rice. On both bowls they didn't give extra meat despite us paying for extra meat!! One bowl was literally more than half empty and I contacted merchant MINUTES after the delivery. Now they are saying they won't do anything. Terrible people. read more

I recently ordered lunch for my customer's entire office and it was a huge hit. Sandra went the extra mile and had everything taken care of before I even arrived. I got nothing but rave reviews and will be back soon to get lunch for my office because now they are all jealous. read more

CAVA - Grilled veggies and Romanian lettuce with veggie balls( forgot the name) - Mediterranean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I don't know. I just like Chipotle a little better. CAVA is good too, I guess personal preference tho. The location is perfect, right next to the Mall. read more

My only complaint is they have music soooo loud that you can barely can listen the staff neither they can understand your instructions. I would appreciate if they change that practice. read more

Finally a cava in the area. So fresh. So good and healthy. Their drinks are amazing too. Very unique. Hopefully they bring in a full restaurant cava to the area soon. That is much needed. Love it. Will be back whenever we're in the mood for salads. read more

I came into the establishment today & order myself a bowl as always. From the beginning I was greater by a lovely young lady named Laya who gave me great customer service the whole time. My problem occurred when I went to the cashier unfortunately I wasn't able to get her name but she was extremely rude & disrespectful. As a paying customer I'm confused on how a cashier can charge me almost double my regular price because it "looked" as if I had extra protein. Even after being told numerous times it was the regular amount. She definitely needs more training! read more

Did Uber Eats 9/24 for the first time with cava, I must Say I Will Be A Returning Fan!!..Sorry I Didn't take Pics only of what was left of the bowl I made but I ate the first bowl I ordered two Bowls, Harissa Avacodo, And my Custom bowl cant remember all i ordered with the Custom bowl But it was Banging!! As Well As The Harissa Avacodo Bowl!! Im in Love and used the Garlic Dressing that was recommended by my sis in law,, Im so in Love it's so Delicious!! Although I wanted to try the Braised Lamb it was sold out, That will Definitely Be Next!! read more

Great service! Comped our meal when I told them it was our 26th wedding anniversary! We left with a happy heart and happy belly! Thank you Cava staff! read more

The food.....is amazing. Very fresh, love the concept. Fast, clean, clear menu, no BS. Some of their associates could be a bit more friendly (I say that because I am in the business, I pay attention), but otherwise, this place is a gem. I live 14 miles from this location and I am a chef and a foodie. read more

Outrageous fast fresh Mediterranean food. This place is the chipotle for Mediterranean. Everything, and I mean everything is better than you can imagine. They have natural sofa and awesome iced tea's to drink as well. My only wish is that it was closer to my home read more

It's really disappointing how downhill this location has gone. I'm the last few months we have been ordering pickup and it's consistently missing items. Usually its missing my protein item of sweet potato (including today as I'm writing this). Dressings missing, pita missing, or other bowl items missing. We've gone back a few times but it's really inconvenient and getting frustrating. read more

Was so excited to finally have a Cava grill! When I first walked in the young man was very helpful. I got the greens and grains. Cava has many different toppings, and sauces. The place was very clean, service was great. The chicken and falafel was tasty. It like chipotle, but Mediterranean. If you like hummus, and fresh vegetables I say check this place out! read more

I hate that i'm only learning about this place now. It's essentially customizable mediterranean food. I got the mixed greens and rice for lunch with just about everything i could add it. Needless to say i didn't eat dinner that night. If you're coming here, take some time to really study the menu / process. If you've never had mediterranean food keep an open mind and a willingness to try out some pretty awesome flavors / spices. The food and service were great at this location. Bathrooms were clean and the environment conscious utensils and waste bins are a major thumbs up. I will be returning here no doubt. I had chicken and i tried my sons kid's meal meatballs which were incredible. So much to choose from and so many combinations to make, but sadly I only have one stomach. Until next time cava. read more

love this location! so convenient and the first CAVA I ever tried. consisten through the years

I've been to this location twice now. First time, I ordered a greens & grain bowl online. It was ready when I arrived; however, the portion was ridiculously small compared to the Columbia location. The second time, I ordered inside and they were skimpy on the super greens (had to ask for more) but the rest of the portions were fair. Both times the food was very fresh and flavorful. The falafel is heartier than most places. I plan on trying the the chicken as my protein next time. They actually use chicken thighs instead of breasts. I enjoy all the varieties of hummus and most of the dressings, but the harissa is amazing. I really enjoyed the spicy apricot dressing (seasonal) as well. Kinda hoping they keep it all year. I generally love pita, but theirs is thicker and chewier than I like. read more

First time ever eating at Cava and will definitely be back. The service was impeccable. Staff were very informative and let us taste sauces if we weren't sure we wanted them. The food was so delicious! It was light, refreshing, but very filling. The restaurant itself was very clean. read more

2nd time I ever tried CAVA and I'm disappointed. I ordered curbside and they brought my food out to the car without a top that fit, and they forgot the pita bread which is one of the main items I was most looking forward too. Restaurants continue to let me down during COVID, you would think with the industry struggling that customer service would increase but that is not the case read more

I love Cava, and was looking forward to having one closer to my office. We've visited 2 times and the flavors aren't the same as the location in Columbia. My taste palette is a strange one. When I'm craving a certain something, I want just that and unfortunately this location didn't meet my expectations. Hopefully it's just the new location jitters. Great location. Tons of parking and seating. Hoping to visit in the future and change my review. read more

We absolutely love this place! Everything is so fresh and flavorful. My husband and I had lunch here Monday and we a bit overwhelmed initially because the one at Annapolis Mall didn't gave so many options and he didn't see the protein selection he had there BUT thoroughly enjoyed what he selected. The combinations are limitless if you like changing things up a bit or you can stick to what you know... either way you won't be disappointed. He eats meat and I'm vegan... I love that we can both enjoy what we select here without either of us sacrificing anything. This location was a little busy, which is a good thing right. We'll definitely be back! read more

This particular location has gone down hill. Employees are pure trash, don't acknowledge customer, were making fun of me cause I was wearing mask, rude and beyond. Food quality has gone down the toilet. I am not sure who put the money to open this franchise but needs to be put out of business. Horrible experience and not going to this place again. read more

I ordered online for delivery, but for some reason after being required to create account it prompted for pick up. I've called numerous times and left a message stating the issues and that although I would love to pick it up I can't because I have COVID. I still have not received a call back nor is the store answering the phone and I am still pending a charge for something I never received! read more

I always enjoy the food at Cava. It's somewhat healthy but usually fresh. During this pandemic, I try to support local restaurants. On Friday July 3rd, I walk in and order my food. In Maryland we are able to eat-in with social distance. The tables were set up to be obtain social distance. I ordered my salad and noticed the lettuce wasn't as fresh. I'm in the hospitality industry, so I understand. I sat down at my table and notice there were four families eating inside. As each table got up and left, none of the employees wiped down or sanitized the table. This was very disappointing, because of COVID 19. They had plenty of employees but they didn't elevate their cleaning and sanitation practices. If this is your practice, you will have to put out a disclaimer that says EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

Service is polite and the restaurant is clean. The aesthetic is actually relaxing and the food tastes great. My only complaints are that the pita is kinda tough and a small scoop of extra braised lamb is $3.95! That's almost 50% of the greens and grains bowl I get. If you're looking for Mediterranean food then this is an easy quick fix, but, be prepared to spend at least $10. read more

It's really hard to go wrong with Cava, they have so many options that you can mix and match. As a vegan, Cava is especially exciting, because it allows me to eat well and be in the company of non-vegans. I love pretty much all of their vegan options, the falafel is super yummy. Their dressings are great. I also like their different teas and lemonades. Such a fav for me. Too bad there aren't any in Hawaii where I currently live. read more

Oh shoot, I really need this place next to home. I've been eating bowl-style for about a year, but they bring this method to the next level. On a three-day trip, I ate here twice because everything was so good, and there was enough variety to keep me entertained. Plenty of vegan and non-vegan options, totally customizable, and flavorful. They're quick, courteous, and follow Covid safety protocols. read more

Not very clean. Some of the staff snappy. The natural juice machines off and stagnant. Have enjoyed other Cava locations... this one not so much. read more
