Stopped in for a quick lunch. I did the make your own bowl with salmon. They have so many add ins and a variety of sauces. This is what I like about a bowl place. . . Options! Will definitely go back! The Service always good. They had outdoor seating as well. read more

I love CAVA and I'm so glad they opened this location back in April! This is a newer shopping center, so it's not very busy. The staff are friendly and the food is always fresh. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait because in my experience most people in the line want steak, but if you're getting any other protein, chances are it'll be readily available. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but most of the time I take my food to go however, this time I decided to eat there. I almost always get the same thing in my bowl, but one thing I will never miss out on are the pita chips. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be going back! read more

I finally got to try out Cava for the first time in South Florida! This one is located in Hialeah. We ordered take out and didn't get to enjoy the actual location but service was pretty good. I got a build my own bowl and the bowl itself was great! They had a lot of options and you can picked from either pre-set bowls or make your own. I'm excited to hopefully eat here one day when I'm in the area but the takeout experience was good! read more

The food was great. First time to this place. I order a bowl with glazed salmon sesame and strawberry. It was very good I really enjoyed it. The cherry cola was good too. The service was fast but than again is a weekday property in the weekend is pack and slow. I will differently come back. read more

This new "paint by the numbers" restaurant serving healthy and tasty Mediterranean food is one of the newest in the Hialeah Heights development. I remember the first couple of weeks after they opened, it was really packed, with lines out the door, so I decided to wait until things cleared up to go visit. They have about three or four standard bowls that can be customized, as well as a "make your own" bowl deal. They also sell the same dishes in a pita wrap version. I ordered their harissa chicken bowl with hot honey, and enjoyed it; the meat tasted fresh, and it certainly did have a little bit of a sweet heat. Since I was going to the gym afterwards, I didn't try any soda, although I did see that they have fruit-based sodas, not the commercial stuff. I just had water. The space look pretty clean, and well lit from both inside lighting as well as large windows/storefront. There was an annoying alarm going on which based on what I'm reading another reviews might have been from them setting up or new building set up issues, but it was certainly annoying. read more

CAVA - Harissa Chicken & Hot Honey bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Pleasantly surprised on this place. We went for the first time because of all the hype and they weren't lying! Food is delicious, people working there are nice, and the place is clean and modern looking. It's your typical fast food layout like places such as Chipotle or Chicken Kitchen. But in my opinion the food quality and options is much much better. The only thing I would change is to offer more sitting area, but I get that this type of place probably gets 80% of their orders as take-out. Portions are generous so you might be able to stretch a bowl for 2 servings. But beware, it is delicious, so you might just take it down in one sitting! read more

One of my friends is obsessed with Cava and when she told me one opened up in Miami I knew I had to see what the hype was about! I had heard that the wait times were very long so I decided to place an order for pick-up online. I loved how easy it was to place my order and how pick-up times were as short as 15-20 minutes from the moment I placed my order. The best way I can describe this restaurant is like a Mediterranean Chipotle. They offer grain bowls, grain/salad bowls, and wraps. I really enjoyed building my bowl and was (good)overwhelmed by the amount of options in dips, sauces, and toppings. I made my bowl with saffron rice, supegreens, and honey chicken (with many toppings) and it was delicious and filling. Please make sure to order the pita chips. They complete the meal! The only downfall is that they are very pricey in my opinion. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Literally my daily I live very close and this is a very nice clean place, I can def recommend to any nearby lovers

Loved the options, especially the chicken and the falafel. It's a fast food place but the service was friendly. Casual dining and fast dining but great on flavor. read more

There was so much hoopla about this place opening in Hialeah that I came by today because I was in the area. I was surprised to see that they were out of almost every meat. Signs were posted at the front door and on the glass before ordering. I still forged ahead and ordered the bowl with the falafel. The food was good. I felt the toppings were fresh and I did appreciate the number of toppings available to add to your bowl. I would probably go back if I'm in the area but I would wait until the craze of this place dies down a bit. They need to work out some of their operational issues first. read more

Everything about this place is great. Theyre quick even during a lunch rush. The food is fresh, top quality. Their options, portions and prices are spot on, although the fountain drinks are a bit pricey. I cant believe ive never been here before but now its my go-to lunch spot. Ordering online is quick and easy too. Its like a Mediterranean chipotle (better version of chipotle). Instead of a ladle full of sour cream and cheese slopped on top of beans....theres actually good toppings and dressings. read more

So I have no pictures because I devoured my food, I wasn't no time. The food was delicious to say the least, I was surprised because it seemed like a chipotle style so I was expecting, you know, typical fast food. However it was full of flavors and there's so many options to choose from between the so many types of meat, veggies, rice or lettuce or BOTH, hummus, dressings, and you can make your own bowl. Definitely try the house made juices or lemonades it's very good and not too sweet. Service was a liiiitttlleee slow like if they are still trying to find their rhythm (because this place is brand new) but nothing to take away a whole star. Ambiance is nice, just really small there's not a lot of seats only about three or four tables inside and then four little tables outside. It was great and I am definitely coming back! It's worth a visit! read more

They finally opened a Cava in Miami. Build your own bowl is the way to go! Everything is fresh. The portion sizes are excellent. Everything is clean and efficient. My only tip is to get the sauces on the side. You can't go wrong otherwise! read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would ! I went there last week with my boyfriend, and the customer service was HORRENDOUS. We got in line to order our food. They first served my portion, and it was fine. However, when it was my boyfriend's turn, his portion was significantly smaller than mine. As I looked around the restaurant, everyone else's bowls were much fuller than his. He then asked for an extra scoop of rice, and the woman serving him immediately gave him attitude and said she could not. She then proceeded to THROW his bowl to the next employee to finish adding the toppings. You can see this all on camera. She even had to apologize to the young lady because she literally threw the bowl at her. We were all stunned by the disgusting behavior. She was one of the older women working there. Anyway, we let it go and sat down. My boyfriend wanted to speak to a manager and see if he could simply get an extra portion of rice, which is probably the cheapest thing on the menu. Please--even Chipotle is more courteous. We spoke to the managers on duty, but they didn't seem interested in helping. It almost felt like they were annoyed and didn't want to hear our concerns, although they eventually brought him the rice. Then I wanted to speak to them about the woman throwing the bowl, but they never came over to me. Instead, they left me waiting and completely ignored me, so I had to walk up to them myself and bring it to their attention. I mean, who trained these people? This location is horrible. It almost felt like they were being racist toward my boyfriend because he is a Black man and was the only Black man in the restaurant. We are not people who usually complain, and we were very nice about the situation until we were ignored. So rude and unprofessional. Don't come to this location in Hialeah ! The date was FRIDAY JUNE 26th for whichever management or cooperate person that reads this, during lunch time. Check the schedule for who the 2 managers were on duty and who was working on the food line ! Disgusting behavior ! read more

I absolutely love cava!!! The staff are super friendly and help with any questions that are asked. The food is delicious. I loved the harissa honey chicken and all of their delicious sauces. The pita chips were also really good. The lavender drink is great ( I love lavender ) but might be a bit heavy on the lavender for those who don't love it as much. The cookies are also really good. The seating is a different story. There is VERY limited indoor seating for this restaurant. So keep that in mind when going. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at CAVA. I asked for extra rice in my bowl and even made it clear beforehand that I understood there would be an extra charge and that I was completely willing to pay for it. Despite that, the employee serving me kept making rude comments like "wow" and "that's a lot of rice," and repeatedly questioned my order. It felt like she was underestimating me or judging my choice, even though I had already explained I knew about the extra charge. I continued asking for more rice and instead of simply accommodating the request, she made remarks that made the situation uncomfortable and embarrassing. Customers should be able to order what they want--especially when they're willing to pay for it--without being made to feel judged or ridiculed. The comments were unnecessary and left me feeling really upset about the whole interaction. I hope management addresses this kind of behavior because no customer should feel disrespected for something as simple as ordering extra rice (this was an older lady that looks like she smokes 10 packs a day) just saying. read more

This was my first time trying CAVA in Hialeah and honestly, I was impressed. The food was super fresh, flavorful, and way better than I expected for a quick spot. The bowls are packed with a lot of options so you can mix it up how you like, and everything tasted like it was made with care. The portions were generous, so you actually leave full without feeling heavy. The staff was friendly and helped me through the menu since it was my first visit, which made the whole experience even better. The place itself is clean and has a nice vibe -- easy to sit down and enjoy, but also great if you just want to grab something quick. I'll definitely be coming back. It's rare to find somewhere that feels both fast and healthy without sacrificing taste. read more

Love this place food, people & service are always consistent and well Managed. Shout out to Alfy for making it a place to want to come back for more ! read more

They always miss items from your bowl every single time you order for pick up. This time they decided to not give me the 3 dips that I paid for. No hummus, no tzatziki, no crazy feta. It's always something everytime I order on the app. They want to save cost very unprofessional. read more

The food taste amazing if you are looking to try Mediterranean food. The style is similar to Chipotle, where you can choose your bowl and customize. It was my first time trying Mediterranean food, so I got a kids meal and there were being very kind about it. For the price and quality of the food is very delicious. The customer service is amazing, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food. The ambiance is nice, they recently open, but manage to have the customers waiting very organized and is an open kitchen so you can see how the food is made. The lemonade is so yummy, they also make it fresh everyday too. The bathroom is gender neutral, and although the restaurant is very busy they manage to have a clean bathroom! read more

Take CAVA out of hialeah. The workers are nasty. I had the worst experience ever there. The cashier givonna was digging in her nose. Handlings food without gloves, Using a dirty rag to wipe around the sauces and it feel in the feta cheese tops. The ran out of chicken and had the line backed up and was talking over everyone food. To add the icing on the cake you had another employee eating pieces of meat that was left behind on the table. Where they prepared the meat to be served to the customers. Everything was contaminated as this point. Yall just open and already the worst. I had such a better experience in Orlando and they are always packed with customers. The was the worst location area to place the establishment. I would rather take the Brightline train to Orlando than visit that place again and I was so hyped up to have a location in Miami and it lead to complete disappointment and disgust. It also smelled bad as soon as I walked in. read more

I've been a regular at this CAVA location for quite some time, and up until today, I've always had positive experiences. But what I witnessed this time completely changed my view. A manager named Rey yelled at one of his employees in front of several customers -- including myself -- over something as small as giving me a water cup, which I ended up using for soda. While I understand there may be policies in place, the way he handled it was completely out of line. Instead of addressing the situation calmly or privately, he chose to publicly berate his employee in a loud and aggressive tone. It was not only uncomfortable to witness, but also incredibly unprofessional. No manager should be mistreating their staff like that -- especially not in front of customers. A healthy work environment starts with leadership, and what I saw from Rey today was anything but respectful or supportive. This kind of behavior leaves a bad taste, and it's not something I expected from a place I used to enjoy visiting. read more

I've been here three times and I have not had a bad experience, food is so good and well priced they give amazing portions and the workers are nice. Made this my go to lunch Spot. As long as they keep the portions, the same and the food stays fresh how it is I think this is one of the best lunch spots in the area right now. Highly recommend. The inside is also very clean and well kept. You just need to have a little bit of patience when going there, sometimes they can get full but the workers do not slack their moving and doing a lot. read more

The food is not your traditional, so that's a win! The several times that we've ordered and picked up has been a breeze!!!

The food it's excellent specially the falafel, the different sauces are delicious, and the pita bread as side had seasoning and was hot. I'm very pleased with the service. This was my first time here and the girls that were serving my food was very kind and helpful. The ambiance was nice not crowded. The place it's small, but clean and you can eat outside they have tables and chairs. I'll definitely be back to try other plates. read more

I've tried this location 4 times. It has been busy all 4 times. Each time, the line moved so slowly, not because of the number of customers, but rather due to poor service. Here's what I mean: every time I have gone, the employee working the line asks me what I want, and as soon as I begin my order, the employee either walks away to help someone else or begins talking to some other employee. This is extremely frustrating. Either you are ready to help me or you're not, but if you aren't, please don't ask me to begin the order if you are going to ignore me. And considering that at least 3 people work down the line, this process of being interrupted travels down the line with my bowl. Additionally, instead of having someone in charge of restocking/refilling/restocking the line OR instead of the person working the line realizing that they are running low on X ingredient and asking for more BEFORE it runs too low or runs out, they wait until it is all gone before asking for more. This stalls the line and adds to slow service. It's as if no one is being proactive. Of the 4x I have been there, I have seen the manager standing by idly speaking to employees. This is not a good look for the restaurant and might explain the lackadaisical attitude of some of the other employees. Keeping in mind that the restaurant has been busy each time I've gone, he could be more involved in either ensuring items on the line are replenished or simply being more hands-on. Perhaps he could have tidied up the drink station, as it has been a mess all 4x I've been there. Maybe he can be welcoming guests or thanking them for coming. And maybe he shouldn't be eating where all the customers can see him. I've worked in restaurants and that is a big no-no. Today, there were no napkins. When I asked the cashier for some, she looked confused. Another cashier busted out a pack of Publix napkins and gave me some, but didn't go to the napkin dispensers to fill them, so basically we all have to ask for napkins with our food. The group in front of me asked for 4 water cups, only to be told there were none. Yet later when I was eating, I saw some people who had ordered after us with water cups. The cashier was clueless. Cashiers also don't know how to ring up items correctly. Today, she tried to charge me extra for avocado even though I ordered a harissa AVOCADO bowl. Last time, the cashier tried to charge me for the pita that comes with a bowl. It is imperative that the employees receive adequate training. The only ones who seemed to be working well were the cooks. I have yet to see a dining room attendant. There are only 4 tables inside, so there's not much to clean, but trash bins are always overflowing (both inside and specially outside), utensils are not refilled. Speaking of the harissa avocado bowl, I have had that item 4x and each time it was made differently even though the employees have a "cheat sheet" telling them of the ingredients. The food is great. I'd just like some consistency in how my bowl is made. 3 of the 4 times I've gone, they have been out of corn and super greens. Twice there was no brown rice and when I asked how long it would take to make some, I was told there was none. I will continue to frequent this location even though it is far from me because the food is good. However, there is still much to improve in the area of customer service and training. Kudos to those who have been doing their job well. This location has been open over a month. By now, the kinks should be worked out. read more
