Cava in a few words? A Mediterranean inspired Chipotle. We went for a lighter lunch and shared a bowl. Very simply you pick a bowl or pita. Then add you base from a selection of greens (various lettuces, cabbage, kale etc) and or grains (rice / beans). Then you pick from various proteins. Salmon, steak, lamb, chicken prepared with spices and seasonings. Then unlimited toppings such as cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives and many more. Finally pick your sauce. You end up with a fresh and healthy salad and protein. The bowl easily serves two of us for a light lunch or for one hungry person. They have many drink options and sodas to accompany your meal. The counter server was very helpful and patient at the same time. Given the number of options a newbie (me) will need some time to read all the menu choices. Light and airy restaurant with some indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside on this beautiful day. read more

CAVA!! My favorite LA chain, it's basically a mediterranean version of Chipotle. In terms of "slop bowl" shops, this is definitely my favorite - there's just so many different toppings and everything is flavor packed. There's not a lot of seating inside tho - you'll have to sit outside. It was unfortunately raining when I went so the seats were a bit wet - but still, I enjoyed my CAVA nonetheless read more

CAVA - Harissa Chicken Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I can't believe it took me this long to finally try Cava. We were looking for a quick bite before going into the apple store and decided to finally give this place a try! We ordered the spicy lamb + avocado and steak harissa bowl and they were both SO good. I can't decide which I like more. Service is quick and friendly. There's limited seating inside, about 6-7 tables with a few chairs but it looked like most people were getting take out anyways. 10/10 would recommend and for SURE will be back. read more

Went in today and the service was terrible. I ordered the braised lamb and the pot was basically empty so the server scraped the juices and gave me little bits of meat. The person in front of me ordered the same meat and got WAY more. Bigger portion and overall just looked more appetizing. I asked if there wasn't any more lamb and she said there wasn't but she already gave me a full portion. Not true at all because I've been to other cavas several times and they gave way more meat. Super disappointed with my food tonight. read more

Fast customer service, mostly clean indoor seating, and fresh ingredients at this CAVA location. Debating if I should sign up for their rewards program lol. The Build Your Own is an excellent choice always. I usually get grilled chicken, hummus, half salad and half grains, olives, sauce on the side etc but never feta cheese... hard pass haha. I tried this location because I was at the Westfield Century City Mall and this was one of the food options outside on the upper levels. read more

CAVA - Build Your Own. - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hungry people in line, here's my order if you want a fun idea: -Basmati + greens -Regular chicken (harissa is good too) -Feta dip + harissa -Avocado (extra), cucumbers and tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta, fiery broccoli -Top with Greek vinaigrette Reading reviews here I was a bit concerned I'd end up with a nightmare situation (especially considering I was there during a marathon). The opposite happened however. Despite people being rude, overbearing (hands over the food guard to point - who does this?!), and demanding, the employees took it all in stride. The line was ridiculously long, but Cava is delicious, a more "affordable" healthier meal option, and a major event was ongoing. They're awesome. I noted employees mentioned in other reviews - then noticed hey wait, the music is loud, the line is loud... Maybe this affects things too. Of course the obvious question after everything is: How was my food? It was hearty, salty, savory, with the slightest hint of heat that made today's adventure that much better. If I'm ever in the area again, I hope to revisit. read more

CAVA - My custom made bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tried Cava for the first time, and I loved the food! Fresh ingredients and great flavors. However, the service at this location was disappointing. The workers seemed annoyed, like they didn't want to be there, and I felt rushed while ordering. Based on many other reviews, bad service seems to be the pattern here. Overall, the food was great, but the customer service could use some improvement. read more

Love Cava but this location wasn't great at all. The meat was cold & portions were smaller than normal, they were running short of a lot of things, and service was on the slower side. The bowls didn't taste as fresh and clean as usual, which was disappointing - unfortunately wouldn't return to this location. read more

Excellent food alternative to any fast casuals and has been on top of my go-to lists! If you like healthy Mediterranean inspired fast casuals restaurants, CAVA does not disappoint! I usually get half grain half veggie and opt in for braised lamb and all toppings. Their lamb is one of the best among fast food chains and very tender and flavorful. You cannot go wrong with any of the sauces either as all of them are delicious and not too heavy. I also found their drink selection pleasantly delicious! We like Blueberry Lavender the most, followed by Pineapple Apple Mint and Cucumber Mint Lime. Really happy to see CAVA entering more retail locations and keep the bar high for rest of the food chains. read more

Pretty good fast food but the calories can really add up here even though it feels sort of healthy!! Your bowl is probably going to be over 600 calories!! The service is good but the ambiance isn't it's fast food basically good for takeout though. It's like expensive fast food?? Might as well eat at a restaurant (it's the same price). 3-4 yelp stars overall read more

came to cava for the first time in a minute and oh my goodness the energy in this place is amazing. You can already tell that people like working here because of the team.!

I love Cava so I'm not going to write about the food, but I'm more providing feedback on the service at this location. It's a Saturday where the mall is super busy and they only have 4 employees working and nobody manning the online station. My order was promised at 1:45 and I went in at 1:50 and they didn't even start making the order yet. I had to wait an additional 15-20 minutes. Omg. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been by twice now and it's a great spot for a (mostly) healthy meal. I've tried the steak and harissa bowl and garlic chicken & veggie wrap, both were quite tasty with the nod going to the latter. Like Chipotle, the steak was a little on the tough side. The pita itself was exceptionally soft and one of the highlight components. Prices were certainly better for some of the wraps, so I'd probably go for that on future visits. read more

I came here on Saturday and I was surprised they were fully stocked since this location usually isn't. My go-to order is a greens and grains bowl with chicken and almost all the toppings. I thought the food was consistent with other Cavas. The service is consistently not great here and they are often out of things (I was just lucky this time). I understand that it must be stressful having to prepare food at such a busy location, but staff are aloof and it feels like they are rushing you to leave every time. They seemed annoyed when my friend and I asked for our pita chips they forgot to get for us. At least they have ample seating. I's a little further away, but I always liked the Westwood location more. They have never failed me! read more

Century City Cava app orders are unreliable--last 6-7 times, they never prepare until I arrive for pickup, defeating the purpose. In-store is fine, but online service is poor. Avoid app; go in-person or switch spots. 2 stars read more

I only got some pita chips as a snack but it was so crazy and chaotic when I came. The staff seemed overworked and there were lines for both ordering to dine in as well as people waiting for pick up orders. When I arrived, there wasn't a designated staff member handing out the items nor was there a line to pick up the items. I would have appreciated if they had a better system like a self serve if they are short staffed. I don't blame the staff for this, as they were still friendly! The restaurant itself was very clean and my chips were fresh and flavorful! read more

I'm not from LA but I'm obsessed with Cava, and every time I come to LA I look forward to eating Cava the most. This time was no exception and I happily found out that there is a Cava in Westfield Century City! However, my experience ended up disappointing and I think if this was my first Cava taste...I would not return to this chain ever. From the service to the food, there was room for improvement everywhere. On a Saturday at 3pm, my group got in line behind about four parties (consisting of about 10-12 people total). The line honestly did not look long at all....but we stood there for FOURTY MINUTES before we got to the counter to order. Luckily, we were not on a time crunch but I saw plenty of potential customers leave the line to go eat elsewhere. I'm honestly not sure WHY the line was moving so slow. The processes just seemed incredibly inefficient. The bottleneck was at the last station where you add your toppings and the bowls/wraps piled up there. They need to hire more employees working the counters because the man slowly scooping the toppings was also running around getting chips and doing other things. This store needs more people, each doing less things. We eventually got our bowls and I thought it wasn't as good as other Cava I've had. I know that each food component probably follows some sort of formula for preparation and seasoning, but for some reason my toppings seemed slightly watery or off. I know which Cava to avoid next time I'm in LA :( read more

This really should be a 1 star review, but generally I try to avoid that. What a surprisingly bad meal at CAVA. My first time going there. The place is clean, however, the steak in my salad had SO much gristle in it that it was not even edible. Why even bother offering it if the quality is so poor? Disgusting. Add to that the fact that they add such a comical amount of dressing that it was more like a soup than a salad. Lastly, when ordering in person, it's odd when the person doing your order does not even look at you once. That's just basic person to person interaction. I didn't have the energy to bring this to the attention of anyone there as I wasn't in the mood for excuses. No reason to come back here. read more

CAVA - Soupy salad, no charge for the gristle. - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Lines are long, but food is good. Kinda has a Chipotle concept, but with more variety and bigger bowls.

Been waiting for this, and evidently, the rest of the mall+white collar businesses within walking distance have as well. I didn't make it to the soft/grand opening when they were allegedly giving away free food, but I did get lucky by coming in during the week where there were maybe five customers total, and two were already sitting down eating. Before ordering anything, I asked if they accepted cash and a gentleman said yes. However once I get to the register, I was told no cash. To be honest, I was only getting a bag of their pita chips, because they are delicious. This wasn't the end of the world, nor did it ruin my day; I just said I would return more prepared another day. However, the girl handed them over to me anyway, which surprised me but was a sweet gesture. I tried to give her the cash but she wouldn't accept it. Thanks Cava! Did return a few days later and had placed an order on their site. Man, this was the rush I expected; it was packed from the line to order to the waiting area (which was basically in front of the beverages), but there were a decent amount of seats since most probably took their food back to their desk/offices. Food order did take a little longer than expected, and I did have to ask for the drink AND the pita chips but they were all handed over promptly. I'd give them a break; it's still opening and they are overwhelmed. I'm just glad they're finally here! read more

I didn't hate it... but I didn't love it. I enjoyed my bowl (build your own), but I would crave this place and come back unless someone really really wanted to. This place is like a spin off of "gotta eatta pitta", not sure if anyone remembers this place. They had a good variety of items to choose from for each step of the build your own bowl, but definitely didn't blow me away. I'd rather go to chipotle or get a poke bowl. Service was ok, there were some people giving great service and then one person was a bit rude for no reason lol, not sure what happened. read more

Service is bad at this location. Employees don't seem to care, didn't offer the free pita bread, had to ask for it. I also wanted to collect a stamp for a challenge. They scanned my app, but I later found it out that it didn't scan. They also didn't provide a receipt, which I could've used to add points later on. So basically, they don't care read more

A bunch of us came here after the LA Marathon for lunch. I had the lamb meatballs with tzatziki sauce. They were delicious! My husband the falafel wrap and liked it. My daughter had a bowl, so did my nephew. We also got pita chips and hummus. The classic lemonade was good. I originally wanted the purple drink but didn't like it so I got the lemonade instead. read more
