The new grilled salmon bowls are delicious it's great to have a low calorie high protein option for lunch.

I just discovered cava a few weeks ago. I love being able to order the kid's meal due to the portion size. I got the chicken, with the cucumber, tomato salad with the feta and it even came with the pita chips and you can choose the side of hummus and a drink. Perfect portion . I used the app and it was super easy to place the order. Order was finished in a timely manner ! Can't wait to come back! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I decided to stop by CAVA for a to-go salad bowl. When I arrived, no one greeted me as I walked up. I was a little disappointed by the poor customer service, even at checkout. I will say my salad was good and arrived quickly. I might give them another chance, but this is my second time experiencing poor customer service at this location. read more

This my 2nd time coming. My first tiMe was good so here I am. I was disappointed right away. I think another employee was getting off leaving the one who waited on me. I can see she was frustrated but I was hoping it didn't spill over onto my service. It did. My food was poorly made and I felt rushed. Worst part is the steak was the bottom scrapings and I stated something about it but still received it. And overall it was skimpy as hell. And i don't like the way it was handled. read more

Never tried Cava before but decided to try it out as I wanted something on the healthier side for lunch. Always hear people talking about it and I was in Elmwood so I thought why not. This location has seating indoor and outdoor. I went on a Saturday and while a good bit of people picked up to go orders, there were only a few people sitting inside eating. When I ordered I tried the Harissa Avocado as my friends say that's something they get. I do not like hummus but said I'd give theirs a try. I asked for that on the side, as wells as, the harissa vinaigrette. The worker said sure and was able to put it in the small containers which I appreciated (I know some places charge for that but they didn't). I told her it was my first time having CAVA and she was helpful. I got their sweet tea and mixed it with regular lemonade. I sat inside and found that it was only a few smaller tables. All the small tables had hard dirt stains on it. It was one that a quick spray and wipe will not take care off. It's one that you need to spray something that targets hard grease stains/ dirt let it soak, and then scrub off. Back to the food, it was okay. I guess I'm just not the biggest Mediterranean food fan, so it wasn't anything great to me. They do give you a lot of food for the price and I had a good bit of leftovers. read more

I love Cava! I've introduced a few friends to this spot and they equally love it too. It's like the Chipotle for Mediterranean food. The Harissa Avocado bowl is my favorite. I usually top it with the Lemon Herb Tahini opposed to the Harissa sauce. I also add hummus and cabbage to it. And don't forget your free side of pita. I've tried the spicy chicken avocado pita as well and have enjoyed. Service is always pretty good and pretty quick. I just went last week and will continue feeding my craving every week or two in the future. The restaurant is always pretty clean and roomy enough to dine in on most occasions. They also offer delivery which saves the day when you're craving it at home or work and can't leave out! read more

CAVA - Harrissa Avacado Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Yesterday (5-14-2026) I went into cava to pick up a mobile order. I was asked twice what my name was with no updates on my food. Finally 30 minutes had passed from when my food was supposed to be ready. The people around me who came well after me got their order first. So I asked the young lady at the front where my food was. She informed me they lost my food and were making it at the moment. So I am very unhappy with my service having to sit there and wait while they're looking for my order because they lost it. Then I was given no apology from your employee. I will not be returning this location. I love cava, but not the service y'all are giving. read more

Rarely do I write bad reviews that have nothing to do with the food, but there's always that one exception. I placed and online order with the Cava location in Elmwood. The app said the order would be ready at 12, which was 30 minutes from when the order was placed. I arrived at 12 and my order wasn't ready. That's fine, there were at least 5 other people waiting for orders so I knew they were backed up. The issue I have is that I waited an additional 20 MINUTES to receive my order! Everyone that walked in at the same time I did and went through the line to order food were almost finished eating by the time I got my food! How long does it actually take to place precooked food in a container? Guess I'll just walk in next time. Way faster! And, the food was cold! read more

CAVA - Kids plate, 25 minutes late! - Mediterranean Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Great concept: think Mediterranean chipotle. Let me start with saying the food is bomb. I love it love it love it. Service is great too. The workers are very patient when you're ordering and knowledgeable about the food. One girl really went above and beyond and gave me a sample of the two things I was stuck between. It is a little pricey for every day. Maybe like a treat yourself option. They also have no name brand soda options, if that's something that matters to you. Sometimes I just want a Dr. Pepper/Diet Coke. read more

Food was fresh, and amazing. Very clean, and classy. I enjoyed every bite! I highly recommend to the people who try to eat clean. Everything is so fresh and well cooked. Customer service was delightful. I was greeted with a smile. This is the Harissa Chicken bowl with a side of the limited time Hot harissa pita chips, along with hot harissa and garlic sauce. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I have always heard of Cava and never knew there was one nearby. This place was very clean. The parking lot is in a shopping center and it is located steps away from Chipotle. The inside was busy, but the cleanliness was amazing. I also enjoyed that they kept up with their condiment area. The employees were super friendly and I was greeted upon arrival. The menu options were almost limitless. I do not like taking long to order, so I went with my move. I ordered a bowl that included chicken, steak, and lots of vegetables. I saw they had pita chips and ordered that as well. When arriving to the cashier, I noticed they have treats. I ordered those, as well. (Greedy, I know) I had a long drive between Cava and the place I'd actually eat and the food held its temperature. The food was delicious and the portions were awesome. I will definitely make this one of my regular haunts. read more

Found this on my cava order which was lamb .I asked for some chicken as I was throwing this away I showed her the pieces she told me it was lentil keep in mind it was hard like a rock it nearly broke a tooth .I went up there with bigger pieces pictured she the stated it may be char.She acted as if I was trying to get something free instead of apologizing she was more concerned with the fact that we ate some of it .never apologized read more

Life is good! My food was prepared perfectly from the amazing talented Alex. Super personable and professional. I got the Harissa chicken power bowl (a featured item) and it did not disappoint (dressed to perfection). Alex and Delilah were both very kind, helpful, and efficient. The food, the service, the community are all reasons why I'll be back for more! read more

I wanted to like it so badly. I got a bowl with brown rice and the spicy honey chicken? protein. Once I bit into my food I felt something crunch between my teeth. It felt like plastic, so I spit it out. It was rice. I was relieved that it was food, but every two or three bites, I felt rice grains cracking between my teeth because it was extremely hard. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of CAVA when I first tried it and couldn't quite figure out why. I enjoy your typical Greek salads, moussaka, gyros, etc., so it was bizarre. Fast forward, I recently tried the Harissa Avocado bowl and added roasted eggplant dip. OMG! Pair that with an order of pita chips--so good!! The Harissa Bowl does pack a nice kick. If you like some heat, get this one! The ingredients were so fresh and hearty. It was enough to share. The pita chips are always delicious. They're chewy, a bit crispy, with the perfect denseness. I've only visited the actual establishment once and can't recall any issues with customer service. read more

Do better Cava! Had a salad bowl with grilled chicken, the best way to describe the chicken would be, chicken crumbs! Asked for my dressing on the side, didn't receive it at all. Didn't receive the skhug with the green and grains bowl either read more

The food was great. I got the bowl with half chicken and half roasted veggies and lots of toppings. Forgot the names of the drinks but i mixed a pink and green one and it was yummy! So the bad... the line felt like it took forever! And they were out of a few things. So, I'll definitely go back for my Mediterranean food fix, but hopefully on a less crowded day once they've worked out some of the new restaurant kinks. read more

I used to live near a Cava in another state and am ecstatic that they opened up a location near New Orleans! Ordering: Super similar to Chipotle with a lot more choices to choose from which can be overwhelming if you haven't been before. They do have a selection of preset menu items if you don't want to customize and build your own bowl/salad/pita. For build-your-own, first you're going to pick your base. I went for a bowl with half saffron basmati rice + half supergreens mix. Then you choose up to three dips (hummus, crazy feta, and harissa for me). Then meat/proteins -- I opted to do the mixed option and went half chicken and half falafel. Then unlimited toppings! Get all, some, or none of them. My go-to is "everything except the olives, please!" And last but not least, choose a sauce. I absolutely love their harissa-based condiments so of course I had to go with the spicy harissa vinaigrette. Food: 5/5, DELICIOUS. Usually I have a bit leftover to eat the next day. Already craving Cava again. I will say, back in the day, they used to give out a small side of pita along with your bowl, so I'm not sure if they're done with that or if you just have to ask at the register...? Misc: Looks like other reviewers have had problems with pick-up orders but I had no problems ordering in person. Staff was friendly. Very clean inside. Easy and plentiful parking. read more

Giving them a little grace since they just opened. I did a pickup order which wasn't ready until ~10 minutes after the promised time. They seemed fully staffed and the line inside wasn't horrible, so I'm not sure what the delay was about. There were other people waiting on late pickup orders as well. Food: I've been seeing this place being hyped on social media and I was ecstatic to finally have one in close proximity! I will say, it's definitely worth the hype! I wasn't sure what to get, but after browsing Tiktok, I was able to create the perfect bowl. The fried pita chips are a must!! They heighten the meal. 8.5/10 read more

Delicious!!!I have been so eager to try CAVA ever since I heard about it on TikTok. The atmosphere was clean, modern, health conscious. The staff was friendly and although still getting used to the menu, are fast and make the menu items carefully. The food was so good. I tried the Spicy Harissa Chicken +Avocado Pita and have no regrets. You get the option to create your own bowl or pita, but I wanted to see the curated options first. I will definitely be back. Prices are moderate but please keep in mind the food is fresh and healthier than your average lunch spot. I tried the Cucumber Mint juice and loved it. Has the perfect amount of sweet just for me. I also tried the strawberry citrus drink and like that one as well. ...and I couldn't help myself and got the Salted Chocolate Oat cookie .Cava I hope you're here to stay. First Review and I'm leaving 4 stars. read more

Good food got good service good lemonade. Got a pita and built my own very good. Soooo cold inside where pants or jacket.

This was my first visit here with a friend. I loved all the options and how fresh everything was.

Tried this fast food Mediterranean spot and was not for me. This is like a subway type place. The pita bread was excellent. I ordered the new chicken like wrap. Fillings were okay but too much lettuce. The eating area is spacious but tables were dirty. I will not visit here again. Staff was pleasant read more

Great service, great food, friendly faces all around. 10/10 recommend!!! Food is amazing as always!!! read more

I come to this Cava so much they pretty much know my order by heart. Everybody who works here has good energy too.

I was excited to finally try CAVA now that we have one in the city and I really enjoyed it! The inside of the restaurant is very clean and usually when I go during the day there is hardly ever a line so I go straight through. The ingredients are fresh and the staff is helpful. I ordered the Harissa Avocado Bowl no avocado and it was delicious! I love that it's a lighter entree option but still full of flavor. The pita chips are also really good. Love the crispy yet chewy texture! read more

My first time eating here and the first impression was terrible. The staff are beyond RUDE! I was trying to ask questions as a first time patron and was ignored by 2 different employees. I ended up ordering the Greek Salad and was highly disappointed. The girl who took my order just threw some iceberg lettuce in a bowl then states "We're out of arugula" & tossed the bowl on the counter and walks off. Someone else came up and asked what I wanted. I told her I ordered the Greek Chicken Salad. She grabs the bowl of lettuce and asked what kind of meat I wanted. Ummmm....I ordered the Greek Chicken. I asked her the same question 3 times and she ignored me. My bowl was only about half full. I would have expected a full salad at that price. Also, not just iceberg lettuce. I won't be going back. read more

This place is *chef's kiss* - so this is my second time trying Cava. The first time I forgot to take pictures because I was too excited to try it. On my first try I created my own bowl since I decided to go in store. I was overwhelmed because they had so many options. This visit I opted for the Tahini Caesar bowl with half romaine lettuce and half arugula. It was soo good. I also tried their strawberry citrus and cucumber mint lime drinks. The drinks were ok. I find them already filled with water and the ice just makes it watery. The service is very fast and the employees are always polite. This place is very open, not really an intimate place. I can't wait until they open the Vets location. read more

I've been waitinggggg for cava to open because of all the Tik toks I've seen! I went during my lunch break and I was so excited to finally try. The service was awful in my opinion, the workers were not friendly and actually seemed to have unnecessary attitude. One of them was fixing my bowl with one hand of her hip the entire time. Whatever, fast forward...the bowl was really good! I loved the basmati rice and the harissa chicken. I also got lamb which was an additional $3 but it was so tasty! I was overwhelmed by all the sauces and dressings but I liked that they let you get 3 dressings on the side. My favorite ended up being the harissa hot vinaigrette read more

IF YOU CAN ONLY DRINK DIET SODA DUE TO DIETARY RESTRICTIONS, BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE. We come here at least once or twice a month. CONSISTENTLY AND WITHOUT FAIL the diet soda is out. In the past 7 visits, we've only been able to get diet soda twice. My husband and I can't drink anything else due to dietary restrictions besides unsweet tea, which obviously tastes terrible as they do not have Splenda or anything available. That means, the only good tasting option is diet soda, which is again, most often than not unavailable. Usually, we get just enough unsweet tea to wash the food down and call it a day. Today, I notified the cashier. She misheard me and added more ice to the machine. I went back and tried to lead with grace when I reiterated that the diet soda is out. By now, we were halfway done with our food. Just before we left, I asked her if I could now get diet soda. She let me know she forgot. We left. That's when she started to ask us if we could wait. Wait for what? We are done dining, wasted money on drinks we did not get, and had to rush to the car to see if we had any water bottles thrown around the floor to wash down the food. The lack of attention, proactivity, and initiative from staff is astounding. Routine checks should be done to ensure the items people are PAYING FOR are available. If something you offer is out, IMMEDIATELY OFFER ANOTHER OPTION OR A REFUND. Again, there are multiple full sugar, high-calorie options, so having one of them out is not as bad as the SINGLE low-calorie, no-sugar, well-tasting option being out. Do better, cava. read more

Absolutely love to put together my own salad of ingredients. It's so fresh and delicious. The various teas are a great addition!

The food was great.! The seating is very chill, it's definitely a great vibe.! My fiancé got the wrap and I got a bowl.! EVERYTHING TASTE SO FRESH.! I would give this place a 10 plus, we will definitely be back.! read more
