    Greens + Grains Bowl with chicken
    Elisa L.

    Delicious and nutritious Mediterranean style bowls! I got the greens and grains bowl with spinach and brown rice, grilled chicken, lettuce, corn, cucumber, tomato, hummus, tzatziki and pita crisps. Nicely seasoned, tasty, well balanced with lots of fresh ingredients. I ordered ahead and it was just ready when I arrived. Lots of indoor and covered outdoor seating. It was my first time and I'm a fan! Definitely will keep coming back.

    If you love the "build-your-own" vibe of Chipotle but want something fresher, lighter, and full of flavor, CAVA is that girl. It's a Mediterranean take on Chipotle where you pick your base -- grains, super greens, or both -- and then load up on toppings like pickled onions, broccoli salad, crunchy pita crisps, feta, and all the sauces your heart can handle (tzatziki, harissa, garlic aioli...the works). I'm obsessed with their butter saffron rice, and when they offer the quinoa? Elite. Protein-wise, I usually go lamb or steak, but the chicken shawarma was great too. And the pita chips? Literal crack. Think deep-fried pita bread dusted in a generous amount of salt and pepper. Everything is super well-balanced, fresh, and actually feels like a healthy meal without sacrificing flavor. I've only seen locations in SoCal so far but... my hometown needs to be blessed. Highly recommend if you want a fast, customizable bowl that doesn't taste fast at all!

    Absolutely delicious!! I didn't understand what the hype was all about but now I definitely do! Let me tell you ... the hype is real. We don't have a Cava here in Vegas *Sigh, pouty whiny face* so when we saw that there was a Cava we immediately knew we had to stop and try as the opportunity presented itself. I'm so glad we stopped! To our surprise Cava is like a chipotle but with a Mediterranean twist, fresh ingredients and so much better!! The choices are awesome, the sauces are awesome, the toppings are awesome! Everything was fantastic and I'll be dreaming about the next time I get to get Cava again. Hopefully we get one soon here in LV!

    I first tried Cava in Austin and I couldn't wait to eat at this location. We arrived around 1:15pm and there was still a long line for ordering food. It's worth the 20 minutes or download their app, which I now have, and skip the line. The restaurant is clean and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Build Your Own Bowl and I had arugula, white rice, grilled chicken, hummus and tzatziki, diced cucumbers, olives and feta cheese. Plus you get a quarter of a pita. The ingredients are fresh and Delicious! The pita is warm and tastes so good. The restaurant has a positive upbeat vibe. There's a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. Sorry about the picture of my bowl. I was starving and I started eating it when I realized I wanted a picture of it.

    I really thought long and hard about writing this review, but I've been to this CAVA location twice in two weeks, and have felt negative both times. The first time, my food came out fast, but wanted to point out that there was a guy at the register, Jeff, who was handing out free drinks to select guests and telling them to give them high ratings. My second time coming, there was a very negative employee, Nicholas, whose disposition was extremely negative. He acted very much like he didn't want to be there and that he didn't care what the customer thought. I understand that everyone has their ups and downs in days, but this also affects the customer experience. We came around 11 before the lunch rush. The inside was clean and had enough tables to find a seat at. Normally, the food at Cava is excellent. However, the service at this particular location was abysmal and I might consider taking my lunches somewhere else.

    Very poorly managed. Some of these servers have no initiative and move extremely slow. It's not them, it's clearly their manger.

    This place should be ashamed of the portion they give. Ordering pick up ended up being small portion and missing a bunch of stuff ordered. See picture for ref. It is hilarious when you compare their own ad picture vs what you actually get. Lmao where is my corn, pickle, tomato+cucumber, tomato+onion, etc???

    Build-your-own bowl
    Lexi S.

    CAVA is a very well-done Mediterranean take on Chipotle, divided into bowls and pitas as opposed to burritos. Plus, there is a good amount of food offered at the base price of either option. It's a very user-friendly process, with quick, efficient service. I ordered a bowl with falafel as the protein. Because of my experience with other fast-casual Mediterranean dining options, I expected their falafel to be bone dry. Instead, I was happy to find the contrary. The one gripe I have is that the pickles and pickled onions have an odd seasoning on them that is distinctly unlike any other place I have patronized that offers similar fare. This won't discourage me from returning to one of their locations, but I would omit that from my order in the future.

    I've ordered from DoorDash plenty times, and finally got the chance to eat here fresh for the first time. They are laid out like Subway/Chipotle where you choose your meal and customize it as you go down the line. It wasn't too busy for a Friday afternoon and there were plenty of tables available. The air conditioning was so nice and the ambience was perfect. Anything you get here will be good. For this visit I had the Steak + Feta pita and added corn and other toppings. The harissa honey with crazy feta are also a great combo.

    food: I got a bowl with saffron rice, chicken, yogurt dill, garlic dressing, hummus, tzatziki, all the toppings except avocado, and pitas! I love the combination of flavors. service: The workers are relatively nice and helpful! ambiance: It's a small but clean place to have a casual meal at

    Chicken Green + Grains Bowl ($13)
    Allison L.

    Delicious and filling bowls! My coworkers and I like to stop by for lunch sometimes and there can be a bit of a wait but it goes by fast. I usually get the greens and grain bowl with grilled chicken, saffron rice and romaine lettuce, tzatziki, hummus, corn, tomato and cucumber and pita crisps. I also like the complimentary pita bread with garlic dressing.. YUM. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The bowls are super filling and can last me 2 meals. For the price and quality, I totally recommend it!

    Burnt lamb
    Bryn S.

    Got a rice bowl with lamb. It did lack meat just because I only got 4 pieces of lamb. But also the lamb was burnt. It was a great yummy bowl, but not the best.

    Super Greens + Chicken and all the fixings! Yum!!! 100/10!
    Sarah B.

    We came here on this Friday night and it was PACKED! This kind of has the type of vibe of chipotle how you wait in line to order a bowl but it's boujee! Which I love, it's delicious. I got the super greens bowl with chicken, corn, tomato's, cucumber, and I wasn't sure what kind of onions they exactly were but they were delicious! Topped with Feta. Will DEFINITELY come back and try some rice bowls I noticed next time!

Decent food but we had issues ordering DoorDash delivery for a work lunch. The DoorDash driver only brought 1 bag of food with more than half of our food missing so a team member had to go in person to figure out the problem. Turns out another driver took our second bag so Micheline's remade the lost orders. They must've been so busy since they should've verified with the first DoorDash driver which orders were whose and some of our orders had missing or different ingredients. I might try them again but would order in person.

I added ham, and the total came out to $16.15, which honestly feels high for what is basically a fast, casual breakfast spot. The eggs could've used more seasoning, there was no salt or pepper available at the counter, and the toast wasn't very crispy. The ham was nothing special, but the portion was large and could easily be split between two people. They do give a sauce to go with it, but it would've been nice to get two instead of one. *Cold Brew: it's decent, and you can add brown sugar for $0.75. Mine came out way too sweet, but they did give me extra cold brew to balance it out. Food came out in under five minutes. They have a self-serve station for condiments, napkins, and utensils. Staff were kind, and the place was very clean. Overall, service and speed were great, but walking out spending about $25 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee feels steep, even for California.

What made it worse is that instead of giving me a realistic update, I kept getting a vague "it'll be out." She could have easily looked into my order and given me an actual estimate. Even more frustrating, I had a drink included in my order, and not once did she think to check or offer it to me while I was standing there waiting all that time. That's such an easy way to show some level of care, and it just didn't happen. Delays happen, but attitude and lack of effort are a choice. Really disappointing experience all around, Especially since I eat here almost everyday for lunch. I am definitely not going to be a regular anymore.
