Monique P.

Cava never disappoints. It is always clean and the service is quick, friendly, and responsive. I ordered the grain bowl with the saffron basmati rice, half chicken and half lamb. I received more lamb than chicken and was pretty hungry, so I asked for extra chicken. I added the extra fixings of tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, broccoli and feta cheese. It was delicious! I love the garlic cesar dressing. This spot is becoming one of my favorites.

My new favorite lunch spot!! The pita chips especially when fresh are amazing and I can easily eat 2 bags. This is a filling & healthy option for lunch and honestly dinner. The restaurant has always been clean and service has always been great when I go.

So I came here after my workout for the blind event 6-7-25. for a healthy option it's a nice layout and semi patio/extra seating outside from the entrance way to enjoy the breeze with your meal. It starts off a little slow here because I feel it's not many ppl working the front and it depends on what's ordered by each customer but they get you out the way pleasantly and everyone is happy. I got two bowl with chicken half rice half salad mix, tomato mix, roasted corn etc. pita strips hold well for what's in it. Crazy feta, harissa vinaigrette are my go-tos. The Strawberry Citrus Drink is liquid LOOOVE and citrus isn't overpowering at all. It's very refreshing!!! . LOOOVE that every food ingredient is flavorful, the mini pita needs some garlic in it or something it's super bland. The Garlic Dressing/Balsalmic vinaigrette is great as well!!.. however the chicken is marinated is so flavorful!! .. I'd definitely recommend this location

Food was ready on time. I appreciate being able to pick up my food by car. Great customer service per usual I haven't personally been inside but I am sure it's similar to others I've been in. Very much a modern look inside and out.

I had heard of the mythological Cava but never been before! Needless to say, I was impressed with the quantity and quality of food that you get for $10. I ended up with a HUGE bowl that fed me for two meals!! Granted I said yes to all the toppings and everything. I'll have to keep an eye out for CAVA in other cities I visit! @Cava please come to Seattle!

Cava o cava how I love thee. I love the greens/grain bowls with half chicken and veggies. The plethora of options for sauces and sides. The new addition of the RightRice is a winner too if you don't mind the up charge and limiting carbs. There are a crap ton of combinations for a full belly and a smile. I always get a heavy handed server which makes me happiest. You can order in advance and pick up at the drive thru. They are no longer allowing seating in their dining area, nor are they accepting cash. Staff are friendly, I will continue to return to get my fix.

CAVA remains one of the best fast casual options, and they've got locations ringing DC like the Beltway at this point. I stopped in because it was conveniently located near 50 and the actual Beltway. The menu at CAVA offers a great range of options for Mediterranean flavors. In response to the seemingly immortal question of where does the vegetarian get his protein, I ordered my usual bowl with half lentils and half greens for a base and got falafel, hummus, and crazy feta, among many other things. It's good stuff, and their spicy options are excellent as well, with harissa, hot peppers, and spicy dressings available at the end. This location has a drive through, which I might have utilized had I not realized that their app requires you to manually type in credit card info. In store they took apple pay, but I wasn't keen on trying to do the whole mess of typing things in at a stoplight. Note to CAVA: please improve in-app payment functions.

Ate here for dinner at 650pm not too crowded. Restaurant is clean inside and out. Back kitchen also looks clean. All employees were polite and helpful. Food is fresh. Service was pretty quick and efficient. Prices are fair for quality and portions. Don't expect to get pizza, burgers and fries, this is a healthy choice. Food tasted good. I would return.

This past Thursday (4/25), I went to the restaurant to use my birthday rewards to purchase a meal. Unfortunately, the link to retrieve my reward was not working.

I just got hip to CAVA and I've been to this location and one other maybe 10 times in the last 1.5 months. Its a fresh take on Mediterranean cuisine. I was told its like a Chipotle but fresher and better. They were right. The flavors are bold, the choices are delicious and the pita chips are a trip in itself.

OMG!! I had no idea what I was ordering especially since we are on #quarentine and I couldn't see the food. I stated guessing, hoping that I could figure it out. I was afraid of what uber was bringing me. Well, the food was terrific. I kept putting the lid on the food and then digging right back into it. It is fresh and the servings size was amazing. Move over Chipotle. There's a new sheriff in town. Honestly, Chipotle needed competition because they are not what they once were. I cannot wait to try other combinations. The food was so good, I called my mom and told her that I was going to send her a salad in 30 minutes. When she got it, she was so happy that she thanked me over the phone while she was eating it. I got me a new option, y'all! read more

I don't know why it took me so long to try Cava. Their food is delicious and healthy. The Greek salad is so delicious. I get it without the the arugula, extra hummus and extra pita. The salad comes with chicken, which is very well seasoned. Hubby got the Greens and Grain bowl with chicken and meatballs. The bowl is just as delicious. The meatballs are seasoned nicely. And they give you a lot of protein for the price. If you are not a big eater, this dish can be two servings. The bowls are $10.52 and definitely worth it. Now, I give the food 5 stars, but the customer service 3. Being that this was our first time here and we told them it was our first time, I felt the the employee could have been a little more helpful in helping us make a selection. He was kind of nonchalant and provided no help whatsoever. So the customer service can be improved upon. Other than that, I will be a repeat customer. read more

This was my first time eating at any CAVA. I ordered the spicy lamb pita and my Mom ordered the chicken pita. We also ordered the apricot honey cookie, strawberry citrus drink, and the blueberry lavender drink. The flavors were on point for everything. So delicious. My only issue is that they undercook the lamb. I called back and was told that it is because of the Harissa paste they use that makes it look pink. I took all the lamb off and cooked it more when i got home. It was soo good after that but I will never order lamb from CAVA because of this. Next time I will try the spicy chicken. I can see this spot becoming a favorite. read more

The Cedars of Lebanon is an easily-overlooked cafe right on the corner of the Old Greenbelt…read moreShopping Center which is a lovely hidden gem. I spent every summer in this town, growing up, and I never discovered this restaurant until a precious friend brought me here a few years ago. It's a dated, though efficient, and charming, cafe with fresh dishes you might love. Firstly, if you plan on having lunch here on a Monday, make sure you are able to finish by 2:45 since they close by 3pm. All other days, they are open past 8pm. We started with the sweet potato soup despite the fact that the reviews for the lentil soup here are the highest. Yes! If it's featured: get it! The turmeric and coconut milk make this soup delightful. The herbs made it so fresh and there was just the right amount of sweetness and gentle heat. Parsley really adds to this recipe and I'm not usually a fan of this herb. The pitas are soft, thin and light. Love them. We needed to order more. I've never had such paper-thin pitas. Yum! I love love love the hummus, here. It is nothing short of divine. The flavors are fabulous and deeply complex. You can really taste the tahini. The olive oil is mild and delicious. I exclaimed, "the hummus was the best ever." And then 5 minutes later, I read a review by Yelper James H. where he says it's the best ever and, "... this hummus at Cedars of Lebanon might have ruined all other hummus for me forever." While I've had similar swooning feelings over the hummus at Lebanese Taverna in Tyson's Corner, this hummus is at least a top contender if not the metro DC area's hummus winner. The cucumber mint yogurt salad is nice, cold and refreshing. You can really taste the mint. I would order this yogurt salad with every meal. The falafel pizza is unusual and fresh. Straight away-- you can taste the tahini, parsley and couscous. The dough is grainy and natural. And there are radishes on this falafel pizza: not overpowering. For the $9 or so pricepoint, this dish is a true labor of love. To prep all of these vegetables, even with food processors, must take time. How novel of a dish! Put the yogurt salad on this pizza. You will thank me. And I only did it because I was watching someone else slather it on. There were at least 12 desserts on the menu. Meow. If we weren't so full of pita, hummus, tahini and fresh veggies, we certainly would love to taste a few of these. As well as the Turkish coffee, with an authentic ceramic and metal carafé presentation.

Pretty easy, breezy no-frills restaurant…read more We stopped by Cedars of Lebanon, because it was one of the few places that had outdoor seating and was not full. The restaurant has a small outdoor dining area with three four-seater tables, which was find for our two dogs. The experience overall was pretty low key, which necessarily is not a bad thing. Although there is waiter/waitress service, you will have to order your food at the cashier's counter. Actually, maybe that's only a thing if you are dining outside. The menu has a nice mix of Middle Eastern dishes. I went with a beef (or maybe it was lamb) kabob plate. The portions were fine and my meal was pretty good. It was not out of this world amazing, but it got the job done. I thought that the prices were pretty good for the area and the amount of food received. Although the food was fine, I do not think that I would go out of my way (e.g., driving more than 30 minutes) to dine here. Just be aware that the restaurant does not serve alcoholic beverages.

Their kabab plates were a hit. They also offered a good selection of drinks. Minor thing, and it is from personal experience only: their menus are printed on black paper and in a plastic sleeve. Reminds me of the bad touristy places in Europe. It did not represent how good the food was, because usually we run away from this Massive Plastic menus... so I Joel one day they will update them to something nicer for a better first feel.

We had a reservation to make sure we got a table, and the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. The only downside was that after being seated outside, we felt a little forgotten for the first 30 minutes or so. No one came by with water or to check in, and it seemed like the staff may not have realized a new table had been seated until we flagged down the outside host. There were also swarm of flies hovering around the outdoor tables, which another table pointed out and then we started noticing too. Aside from that, the experience was good overall. The inside dining area definitely had a dressier vibe compared to the patio seating, and once we were helped, the food made up for the slow start.

This was in a shopping center so we didn't have any issues with parking. Everyone was so friendly when we walked in and even with it being busy, service was fairly quick. Cute decor inside.

The spread was delicious and came with warm pita breads, we were also able to order more when we ran out. I definitely recommend getting the Sampler to try the different spreads as all of them were amazing. The octopus was incredibly tender and flavor as was the Sucuk.

I remember i got one of the veggie hummus ones. It has just recently rebranded and updated, though you still see some of the old signage around. With the updates have come a few (just a few) new items, including flan. I envy the people who have access to this little cafe because the pitas are hearty and allegedly the coffee is really good. They have plenty of salads, veggie cups, and desserts as well. I see that other regulars have mentioned the price going up here, but to me this is relatively inexpensive. What they charge $10 for, I see some places charge $15. I think it is a nice cafe to have in the area and I wish them success with their latest rebrand. Hope they do well!

The entire staff made us feel welcomed as soon as we stepped inside. Most of us were foodies, so we did a family-style feast that consisted of shared appetizer platter of both hot and cold mezze: falafel, sigara boregi (fried cheese), mucver (zucchini & cheese patty), hummus (some of the best I've ever had), dolma, and muhammara (slightly spicy and my favorite dip). It was all so good with the bread and pita, this could have been dinner and we would have been happy. But, when they brought out a meat mountain platter of different kabobs, adana, lamb chops, all on top of a huge mound of fluffy rice and pita, we were really to dig in. The stars of the meat were the lamb chops (the best!), lamb patties, and shish kebab, but all of it was so good. Even the chicken was moist and very flavorful. Each meat mountain was enough for about 6 people and most tapped out with so much food on hand. But, we somehow had enough room for dessert: baklava and künefe (fried cheese topped with honey) which were both incredible. What started as a friendly gathering turned into an awesome night, would love to return soon.

Dining with my friend on Lebanese cuisine was a delightful culinary adventure filled with surprises…read moreand delights. Moussaka: A classic Lebanese dish. Eggplant and hummus were simmered until soft and flavorful, with a subtle smoky aroma. The addition of mint leaves enhanced the flavor. Bone Marrow: Beef tartare with bone marrow and pomegranate seeds--how interesting! The first two provided a rich, fatty texture and intense aroma, while the latter burst in your mouth occasionally, juicy, tangy, and refreshing. Brussels Sprouts: Brussels sprouts with grapes, walnuts, fig jam, and mint yogurt--a whimsical yet magical combination... The Brussels sprouts offered a fresh, vegetal aroma and a slightly roasted aroma; the walnuts provided a nutty richness and crunch; the fruit provided a fresh sweet and sour taste and plenty of juice; and the yogurt acted as a binder between the flavors while adding a touch of minty coolness. Duck Shawarma: My friend and I thought: ...Peking duck? The skin was soft, the meat tender, not gamey, with a subtle smoky flavor; the fig and lemon sauce was sweet and refreshing; the small pita pillows held the meat securely, better than the lettuce what might have been too cold. Lamb Stuffed Grape Leaves: Black rice was wrapped in grape leaves and simmered with minced lamb. The rice absorbed the fragrance of the grape leaves, similar to lotus leaves (my friend and I thought: lamb version of sticky rice chicken糯米雞...?). The lamb, however, was served separately at the bottom of the pot and didn't absorb much flavor; overall, it was intensely sour. In short, this dish was a bit oddly designed, and it was the only one we didn't finish because the sourness was unbearable. Pita Bread: The bread was thin yet chewy, with a rough, slightly powdery surface, making it substantial and satisfying. I especially loved the "everything wrapped in a big pancake" style! This restaurant is located on the wharf near the Potomac River and boasts beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. The spring sunlight streamed in softly.

Upon arriving at the restaurant there was no waiting we were taken to our table. The waiter was very helpful and attentive regarding the menu and specials not on the menu. We ordered a mixture of hot and cold mezza plates to share at the table. I initially ordered a mocktail that was good then we ordered wine. My friend ordered a glass of the red table wine however in my case my palate was off last night because every wine before settling on the chardonnay was clashing with the food. For the meal we ordered the mixed meat plate with suppose to be roasted veggies. The veggies were odd they seemed pickled and not roasted. The meat with the warm bread and dirty rice were good. We didnt order any dessert. I gave 4 because of the veggies and wine selections.

This was my second visit. The first time, the service felt a little cold, but this time was a huge improvement. The women at the front desk were working non-stop; taking in-person orders, answering phones, packing food, handing off Uber Eats orders, basically running the entire operation. They were clearly working hard and keeping everything moving as efficiently as possible despite how packed it was. I ordered the large brown stew meal with cabbage only, plus an extra order of jerk chicken (dark meat, mild). The food was exactly what I hoped for: comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Bottom line: the food had to be good because this place stayed BUSY!!! Definitely worth the wait if you're craving solid Jamaican food.

I've had consistently poor experiences at this Cava location, which is disappointing because I used to visit weekly. Each time, the service bar where they prepare the food is messy, with spilled ingredients and food on the counters. The lack of cleanliness is unsettling, and the napkins are often missing as well. The staff seem unfamiliar with the menu items, making communication difficult. It often takes twice as long to order because they struggle with English and have trouble identifying ingredients. I believe this is a training issue specific to this location, as it hasn't been a problem at other Cava locations I've visited. Additionally, the portion sizes are noticeably smaller. My last five experiences have been particularly frustrating: the food was undercooked and lacked seasoning, and they consistently missed items in my to-go orders. Even after switching to to-go to avoid these issues, I encountered new ones. For example, servers refused to give me a bag, even when I offered to pay for it, and incorrectly packaged my food. As a vegan, it's also concerning that I've had cheese accidentally added to my meal, like when a spoon used for cheese was then used to serve my broccoli. Unfortunately, this location now feels more like a chaotic Chipotle experience, with staff appearing unwilling to accommodate simple requests. The decline in service has been frustrating, and I'll likely be seeking other options. read more
