    The harissa vinaigrette, hummus, and something else. Ft Arnold Palmer and complimentary pita
    Danielle R.

    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.

    Harrissa Avacado Bowl

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I'm still Carver, you can expect consistency across the board whether it's their food items their service or even the environment it always remains true that fresh food, con service, and clean environment is what you can expect from cava. I went there today to receive the Greek salad with no tomatoes and as usual, it was delicious. I highly recommend, if you are looking for casual, fast, dining fresh Whole Foods bon appétit

    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.

    Found this on my cava  order which was lamb L. I showed her the pieces she told me it was lentil it nearly Broke a tooth

    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

    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.

    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.

    Better than Chipotle my bowl was loaded, I had so much food in my bowl. The service was great. Paris was as great help assisting me with ordering my food. Toon was a great help with the drinks 10/10 recommend. Yall better come get one of these

They were doing a lot of unique things here and the food really was quite a step up from the other Byblos locations to the degree that there was zero resemblance. I really enjoyed everything I ate here and while it was more expensive than the other Byblos locations it was of better quality. Unfortunately something has changed as the quality seems to have dropped, the menu has changed and service has really deteriorated. They have a pizza type oven like Shaya and Saba have and they were putting out a similar type bread to those establishments but on my last visit I just got generic pita bread. The experience used to rate a higher price but now things have really declined and the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. I hope my last visit was just an anomaly but I've heard from multiple people that the standard has dropped and the generic pita is the new usual. This was a four star joint and one of the top Middle Eastern joints in the area but sadly that no longer seems to be the case.

The chicken, shrimp and steak were all cooked good but the rice had no flavor. One of us had a fried noodle and steak bowl.

We frequent both the Elmwood and Metairie locations, but the Elmwood location is our go-to since it's closest to home. On this visit, I started with the Boulevard Oysters--crispy fried oysters served over creamy spinach with an aioli sauce. They were delicious! I also had the chicken tortilla soup, and I absolutely freaking LOVE this soup! It's one of my favorites on the menu. For my entrée, I had the blackened fish with coleslaw, and of course, I had my usual lemon drop martini. That lemon drop is the BOMB! I order it every time, and it never disappoints. What I love most about Boulevard is the consistency. The food comes out quickly, the cocktails are always good, and the staff is always attentive--even when sitting at the bar, which is one of my favorite places to sit here. The restaurant is always clean, the bathrooms are clean, and you're greeted when you walk through the door. We've been here many times, and Boulevard hardly ever disappoints. Five stars, without a doubt! There's something for everyone on the menu, and honestly, you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. Boulevard will continue to be one of our go-to restaurants!
