I pass by her daily and today I decided to experience CAVA for the first time. I was glad I used the app for the first time since you notice the long line as I waited for my order. The Mediterranean foos was very good. The staff was friendly and redirected me to the takeout area. I will definitely returning read more

Always love the food at any Cava but this location in particular consistently has subpar performance from the staff. I always see plenty of people "working" but somehow it takes at least 15 mins to get through the line and out with my food. Even if I'm the only person in line! Also they always seem to be out of one dressing or another. I'll still be back, but the constructive criticism is needed. P.S. please bring back the Caesar dressing read more

I love this place. It's also conveniently located. We stopped by here and ate on the patio. The place is very clean. Their sanitation grade is a perfect 100.0! The employees keep up with their tables. They have an ample amount of employees working behind the glass. The employees are nice enough. They keep up when a busy spell comes. The ingredients were all fresh. They give you a nice selection of toppings, dressings, and proteins to choose from. I love their pickled onions. This place has healthier choices than most of the surrounding restaurants. read more

Usually come in here alot recently ive noticed employees do not seem happy or welcome people in and I went through the line today and felt like an employee (lucia) had an attitude and was just rushing throught putting a single scoop of food in my bowl I asked for one more scoop of feta after her putting 3 feta crumbles in my bowl and she raised her voice and said WHAT ELSE... My bowl has barely any food in it. Hope this helps read more

Birksdales Cava is my favorite location. It is my personal experience that tbis location has the best customer service. The restaurant is always clean and the food is always fresh The staff is wm amazing snd emulates the warm and welcoming invite to all customers that extends from their manager Susie, It's always a pleasure to deal with Brayden and Emma...they are 2 of my favorites at this location. They never disappoint you.You're always greeted with a warm and friendly smell, making you feel like you're their favorite customer. My co-workers feel the same way too.We eat here at least three times a week and their friendliness is always the same, warm and inviting. In addition the food is always fresh and seasoned to perfection. Regardless of the volume of traffic. I am always made to feel like a valuable customer and that is the main reason why I keep coming back with a smile. read more

Food is good, location is good. This is about the two shit birds that left the phone on and talked crap about me just for calling to ensure my order was good since DD screwed up saying it was picked up when it wasn't. All I wanted to know is if the order was received and sauce on the side. read more

They're out of everything including their frozen chicken shawarma and everyone that works there is beyond miserable. Left feeling as miserable as their lazy staff :) read more

Went on a Friday night close to 9 pm and the ingredients were still fresh! They didn't have brown rice, which is my usual, so I had the saffron rice instead, and it's really good! I would definitely get it again in the future. My server was very nice, and she gave perfect portions whilst not making my bowl too overfilling. Also, I'm not usually a big fan of Cava drinks, as I usually drink water, but I tried the strawberry citrus juice today, and it was soooo good! It was sweet like a strawberry lemonade, just how I like it. Lastly, I usually do takeout but I decided to sit in because I planned to walk around Birkdale for a bit after eating. The dining area was clean, well lit, and the music was a nice vibe. I haven't been to Cava in months, so to go for the first time after not having been in such a long time is making me reconsider whether I should be coming here more frequently lol! I know this is a 5 star review, but 10/10! read more

Second time at Cava in Birkdale and it did not disappoint. I remember my first visit ever to a Cava and I think because my expectations were that it be similar to another popular Mediterranean place in the area, I was disappointed. On its own, Cava is pretty tasty. I love the variety of meats like meatballs, spicy chicken, etc. I tried the Greek chicken pita on my last visit and fell in love! I also like creating my own bowl and think the flavors are really good. Next time I return I'll try something different and I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much. I like the cucumber mint lime beverage.. apparently so does everyone else because it was just about gone when I visited today. read more

Ordered for delivery tonight and the order wasn't correct but we couldn't handle it at the time of delivery bc we had to drive an hr out of town for a soccer match. 2 of our orders were missing items we selected. No dressing was provided on the side for 1 of our bowls. 2 of our bowl orders didn't receive the free/included pita slice. And finally my daughter's salad/rice bowl was filed with rotten lettuce. We had to pick it all out and she was left with hardly anything to eat. 3 meals for $68 and we didn't get one meal that was delivered correctly or with fresh ingredients. Total fail. Spend your money elsewhere. Do better Cava. read more

Dirty Dirty Dirty! This place needs to be shut down and power sprayed out. Everything, and I do mean everything is dirty. From the floor to the walls, to drink spigot. Ugh, just gross. They've also changed the way the cook their falafel. Now it's just an underwhelming mushy ball. Blah! read more

I have recently attended this CAVA location twice. The first time the rice was so intolerable of how stale and not cooked it was that it gave me difficulty to chew. Disappointed at the fact that I had just spent $20 on a bowl of stale rice, I had let it go because it was so close to closing and didn't want to be a pain. Then today, it's a Sunday mid day this same incident occurred again. Although this time I had built up the courage to go inside and asked for the bowl to be remade politely. I felt bad even asking. Then once they said okay all they did was give me a bowl of rice and say this was the best they could do. I'm unbelievably disappointed at this. What was I meant to do? Take the topping out of my bowl that would still have rice on it into my new bowl of rice? Ridiculous. Safe to say I won't be coming back. shorten this to the yelp word limit but make sure it's very upset read more

Over the past two years, this place has deteriorated. The service is slow, they never get my order correct, and at rush hours the line moves incredibly slow. The food is okay, it is kind of unpredictable - I feel bad for the staff because they always seem frustrated and overworked. read more

I've frequented this CAVA location for several years now, and the service is pretty good, but I'm disappointed in how the portion sizes keep shrinking and how they've started watering down their drinks (cucumber lime, blueberry lavender). Parking is also a mess, but that's Birkdale's fault, not CAVA's. I think I'll start going to the new Northlake location instead. read more

Don't order from this location if you value your hard earned money and actually want the food you paid for. They skimp on the bowls and the dips. Literally barely a spoonful on top. It's ridiculous and has happened way too often. read more

Cava never disappoints. Food is always delicious, service is always fast and friendly.

This place has gone to crap and quite frankly needs to go out of business. Service is terrible, not one person smiles, they treat you like your a pain in the ass for coming in. They're always out of something.. I'm a fool for going back .. never again. not sure how people "love" this place.. read more

I always have a great experience at Cava. I love how they do eastern Mediterranean food. Always so helpful and friendly too.

The CAVA in birkdale is very inconsistent in quality and cleanliness, and I have had my fair share of good and also not so good experiences there. Overall, the wait times in line is usually much longer than other CAVA locations, and they are generally less friendly at this location. The food, of course, is good because it's CAVA but I swear sometimes it tastes a little bit off/proportions are different from other CAVAs. The inside is usually less clean as well (tables and bathrooms) than other locations. Overall, it's good because it's CAVA, but if I had a choice, I would not pick to eat at this location of CAVA- despite it being in the heart of Birkdale. read more

Gluten free and dairy light. I have been here a couple times and the options are really worth it. Both times I made a custom Bowl and it was perfect. The shkug sauce and garlic sauce worked well together. My husband loved his pita wrap. The salads are good. Options for no dairy or no gluten are possible. I would eat here once a week if possible. read more

The food at CAVA is absolutely delicious. The only problem is that (at least at this location) the workers are typically unkind each time I have gone. The seating isn't the best, but definitely not the worst! The portions they give you here are massive and worth the money for sure! read more

CAVA - Kids Panini Meal - Mediterranean Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Great service, clean restaurant, and delicious food! Will definitely be back while I'm here for work!

My review stems from a disappointing visit and I hope this review helps as constructive criticism. The food was cold, extremely spicy (please let the clients know the level of spice) and the WORST was the service. The lady an attending was non approachable, serving as if it were her last day, just THROWING stuff in our to go bag. For reference it was a heavy set, African American woman with swollen eyes. I and the party I went with will not be back but hopefully management addresses these issues for their future clients. read more

So disappointed I LOVE CAVAS and eat at them often but unfortunately the Birkdale location was nothing like all the others. We are creatures of habit once we like something. We get Grains n Greens EVERYTIME! Except this time we took it to go. We get Super greens and lentils, I get Falafel and Husband gets Lamb Meats Balls crazy feta, harissa and tzatziki, one scoop of everything, extra pickles with garlic sauce on side. Delish! Favorite Heathy Food! Our lentils were hard and not even cooked to the point I couldn't really eat them and that's very hard to eat around. They didn't put but such a small amount of greens in the bowls. The bowls were only half full which they are always full and I always bring almost half home. Falafels were wonderful as usual along with Lamb Meatballs. read more

My first visit. Staff was nice, gave me a taste of the non rice. Had a Greek Salad Bowl. It was FANTASTIC. Really great flavors (added a scoop of the red spicy "stuff"?). I love bold interesting flavors. This had it. Then the price. $11.99. Wow. The card machine didn't hold me hostage for a 20% tip. For management....the utility counter with the silverware and napkins looked a bit of a mess. Same with trash receptacles. Need to put more effort into tidying up. Almost caused me to walk away because it's the first thing you see. Regardless, 5 stars. I'll be back. read more

I made a family order from your Huntersville NC store. After waiting over an hour I got this: 5 pita breads!!!! Yes 5 pieces of bread. You're not seeing something wrong - 5 pitas bread!! When I called the store directly, they told me basically it's my problem. I order directly from cava not from 3rd party company. The manager, Susane, told me that a new hire did the order ( I guess it make sense to send 5 outs breads ) and there nothing she can do. Either come pick it up from store or make another order and pay double!! The only option she gave me was basically to stay hungry. This is by far, the most ridiculous situation I ever experienced. Not only I got charged, got no food, got 5 pitas breads only, been told that it is my problem and nothing to be done. This is the worse situation I've been in. Manager was super rude and hang up the phone in me. Didn't take any responsibility and told me she can't help although they make the mistake. And all I can do is email. Never gonna get my food.

CAVA - Yes you're seeing right. 5 pitas breads in a bag! And that's it - Mediterranean Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Okay food, great idea, bad execution! Food was cold even though the meat is grilled. They ran out of rice and it's honestly sad how skimpy the produce topping portions are. Literally a tablespoon scoop was used for the clumpy chopped toppings. This place is a little too expensive for the salad to not really look like a salad. Also, all of the food they serve is completely exposed, without any lids or tops to keep the food from being contaminated from pest or germs. Exactly why my brother found a hair in his food. On top of all of that, the employees seemed quite miserable. Amazing how places like Chipotle, Starbucks and Chic-fil-a have better customer service than a place I just spent $35 at for 2 meals. The food was just okay. Definitely not authentic. read more

CAVA - Cold meat. Not very satisfying. - Mediterranean Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Birkdale Village location. Food was just ok. Service was fine. Drink machine was broken. Biggest complaint was against Birkdale Village. It took longer to find a place to park than it did to order and eat our food. No Valet service available. We asked the server behind the register where they park and she smiled and said "right out front.....it's early when we get here". I love the Cava concept but I will not go to this location again. I'll drive to the Concord restaurant where I know I will find a place to park. read more

I don't eat here enough. CAVA is a fast casual Mediterranean place, similar to a chipotle style setup. There's a ton of proteins and toppings available and the hardest part is to refrain from just piling on everything they offer. My first wrap was overflowing and kinda too messy to eat because I went overboard, but the second time I came back I edited down my toppings and thoroughly enjoyed it. I need to go back and keep trying different combinations. CAVA will definitely be one of my new go-to places. read more

This was my first time ever visiting Cava. Lucie was so helpful, patient, and accommodating. She explained what the different menu items were and what the ingredients were. When I told her I had an allergy, Lucie was attentive to those restrictive menu items. She was so kind and kept a smile on her face. I have been wanting to try Cava for quite some time. I will definitely be back. The Harissa Chicken has a kick! read more
