    How it should look filled wise
    Jameka H.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Every now and then, my GF and I want to do something a little nicer than "whatever", but we still…read morewant to keep it easy and casual when we want food and drinks. So we go to The Boulevard in Elmwood and sit at the bar. Let me make the point that we've never eaten in the dining room. Sometimes, we want to sit at a nice bar and eat our dinner. We interact with the staff, asking questions about the different bottles they have behind their very well stocked bar, and just relaxing. We've been to the Boulevard at least 4 or 6 times now, and it's a really nice experience each time. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive, the cocktails are always great, and we always love their food. Specifically - they make a great Old Fashioned (for me) and a great dirty martini (for her). They have a decent beer selection, but we come here for the cocktails (and food). We've tried a variety of their food, and it's all been good. They have a great oyster appetizer, and their crab cakes and their burgers stand out in my memory. I will say that every time I've gotten a burger, I've had to wave the bartender down to get condiments. Shouldn't have to, but I'm not taking away a star for that. Good cocktails, good food, good service. That's what we get!

    We went here for lunch yesterday and I was so excited because I love the spinach dip & crab cakes…read more We ordered the spinach dip which comes with chips, salsa and sour cream which is very good. But the waitress that brought it out to us put it down and some of the chips slid off of our plate and she hurried up and picked the chips up with her hands and put them back on our plate. My husband and I were shocked. They do whip off the tables but with the same towel for every table. We saw a small bucket with the towel in it and watched them. So they don't spray the tables down after each use just whips it off with the same towel. Our food was very good. I gave it a 2 star because of what happened.
