    Harissa bowl
    Samantha P.

    First time trying Cava and this location is super busy. The line was long, although I did a pickup order I still waited for about 40mins until my order was actually ready so I don't think it mattered whether you ordered online or in person the time was the same. I tried the Harissa chicken bowl and more Harissa sauce and it was spicy never will I make that mistake. I took off some of the harissa sauce to have a nice balance with the hummus and tzatziki sauce. You have the opportunity to sit inside and it was very packed so of course there's noise. You can tell it's good food judging by the wait.

    Finally made it to CAVA on a Wednesday around 12:30 PM after all the hype. The place was packed with about 20 people ahead of me, but the line moved quickly. It was a little hot inside, almost like the AC wasn't working, which was noticeable given how crowded it was. Once I reached the first server, I let her know it was my first time, and she took the time to explain how everything worked. I really appreciated that. There were also screens explaining the process, and I loved that there were stickers on the glass listing ingredients for the proteins, grains, and sauces. That was very helpful for first timers. As I moved down the line, the experience dipped a bit. The other servers weren't rude, but they weren't friendly either. No greetings, just very neutral. Service wise, it felt a little inconsistent. You get one complimentary protein (chicken) or can choose two proteins. I added the braised lamb, which came with a $3.50 upcharge. That part honestly annoyed me. If I had ordered only braised lamb, it would've been a full serving for $3.50, but since I added it as a second protein, I was charged the same amount for half a serving. That didn't make sense to me, but now I know better for next time. I ordered a brown rice bowl with various toppings. The green jalapeño sauce was really good, and the harissa sauce had a nice kick. The braised lamb was the staR. Very flavorful. Once everything was mixed together, the bowl was honestly vetu good. I'd definitely go back, just at a different time of day. Parking wasn't an issue at all since it's in a large plaza shared with other stores and restaurants. Food quality: 4.7/5 Overall experience: 3.5/5

    Love CAVA. This location is way more convenient than the new Brickell one because of the parking lot alone. It does get busy and I waited about fifteen minutes in line, but they had plenty of staff and were clearly doing their best to keep things moving. The food is always fresh and delicious. CAVA never misses and I'll definitely keep coming back. The space is clean and casual, similar to Chipotle, and perfect for a quick meal

    I stopped in to the New Cava Aventura location and was immediately impressed by how fresh everything looked and how fast the line moved, even though it was busy. The staff was super friendly and patient while I built my bowl, offering suggestions and letting me sample a couple of things before deciding. I ended up with a grain bowl loaded with spicy lamb, harissa, hummus, pickled onions, cucumbers, olives, and all the good sauces on top (the crazy feta is my fav) . Every bite was packed with flavor the toppings were fresh, the meat was seasoned perfectly, and the sauces tied everything together without being too heavy. The pita on the side was warm and soft, perfect for scooping up all the extra toppings. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and easy to sit and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, even though it's in the mall. For the quality and portion size, the price feels more than fair. If you're at Aventura Mall and want something quick but actually delicious and satisfying, Cava Aventura is a must. I'll definitely be back!

    One week into opening. Super efficient and friendly staff. Line was out the door but we got to order our food fast. Very easy to sign up for rewards program while in line. Digital menus switched between English and Spanish which is good but they should slow it down. The change is too fast. Food was great tasting and fresh. Clean and bright space.

    If I could leave 0 stars I would. After opening my food we noticed something crawling out of the pita. Come to find out it's a baby cockroach. Thank goodness we noticed before eating anything. Do not go here.

    Cava, Clean, efficient, and super friendly, quality food.

A manager should lead by example, support their team, and treat every employee with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, Risa's treatment of employees has created serious concerns. Her behavior toward staff is belittling, disrespectful, and makes the workplace uncomfortable for the people who are simply trying to do their jobs. Yelling at employees in front of customers is completely unacceptable. No one should have to endure public humiliation or be made to feel less than human while at work. Being a manager does not give anyone the right to disrespect, bully, or mistreat employees. The way management treats its staff directly affects the workplace environment. When employees feel constantly disrespected or mentally mistreated, it can lead to frustration, low morale, and people choosing to leave. The number of employees reportedly leaving because of these experiences should be a serious concern for Just Salad. Just Salad's corporate leadership needs to take these complaints seriously and consider finding different leadership for this location. Employees deserve a manager who knows how to communicate respectfully, lead fairly, and create a positive work environment. As customers, we should not support behavior that treats hardworking people as though they are disposable. Anyone who supports or excuses this kind of treatment should seriously reconsider supporting this location. No business should prioritize a manager's authority over the dignity and well-being of its employees. Just Salad needs to do better. Employees deserve respect, accountability, and leadership that understands how to treat people like human beings.

The staff was attentive from the start, and our waiter offered excellent recommendations. We were a party of five, and although not everyone had arrived yet, we began with drinks and a few antipasti. We ordered the burrata, which was incredibly silky and flavorful--even for someone who doesn't usually enjoy it, it was delicious. Paired with the olive oil and balsamic on the side, it truly brought all the flavors together. The tiger shrimp dish was also a standout--three large, perfectly cooked shrimp served with a lemon-spiced pasta that complemented it beautifully. Another highlight was an Italian dish stuffed with parmesan and pear, finished with a balsamic cream sauce--it completely stole the table. Absolutely unforgettable. We also enjoyed classics like the bolognese and cacio e pepe, along with a gem salad topped with avocado and shaved almonds. Every dish was rich in flavor and thoughtfully prepared--this place is truly impressive when it comes to taste. And the drinks! I'm not much of a drinker, but every cocktail looked stunning, and my group thoroughly enjoyed each one (apologies for not remembering the names!). Overall, you will not be disappointed dining here. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can be a bit pricey--so I recommend reviewing the menu ahead of time so you can plan accordingly and fully enjoy the experience.

Almost dried out. I definitely wouldn't order this dish again for $52. The server asked if we wanted bread and we said sure having no idea that is an extra charge. The bread was average at best. The salad was okay. I didn't remember seeing there was blue cheese on it on the menu. Pears seemed under ripped and $27 for that salad seems like a rip off. Honestly, I would skip this place unless you are looking for drop $$$$....

    We've been hitting up Mediterranean restaurants like nobody's business on this leg of our spring…read morebreak, in part because of our proximity to many, and in part because my progeny and I are currently obsessed with babaganoush in its many variations. For this particular dinner, we were also focused on finding a truly vegetarian friendly restaurant where we could take our dear friends. Kabobji was a wonderful choice for vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike. It's a large restaurant with plenty of booths and large tables for gathering with friends and family. Someone I suspect to be an owner was working hard alongside his wait staff and displayed a sense of genuine hospitality. Above all, the restaurant has a rock solid kitchen. The falafel ($13.99 / 5 pieces) here were ****STELLAR****!!! They're shaped like Indian medu vada (fried with a hole in the middle), probably for the same reason: to allow as much of the surface to fry to that perfect golden crisp as possible. And Kabobji's falafel were, in fact, awesomely crisp and well textured, made from soaked chickpeas in the traditional style, perfectly sized, nuanced and subtle in flavor -- some of the best we can remember having. (For reference, we love Nish Nush and Tanoreen for falafel in NYC -- and I think our neighborhood must be one of the major international epicenters for falafel.) Also excellent: the baba ghannouj ($10.99 for the small size), just a bit chunky, enriched with a lot of tahini, a moderate amount of garlic, a touch of lemon. This is how we like to make it at home. The vegetable ghallaba platter ($20.99) was simply made with thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, a small amount of zucchini, I think, and a touch of tomato. I would've loved to have had a spritz of lemon or sprinkle of sumac for a more acidic component, perhaps a little less onion. Note that this dish works better as a main course when accompanied by something protein-y like hummus, but it was pleasant to eat alongside our other orders. A convive, who went with the mixed shawarma platter ($27.99), found it to be a generous portion size and enjoyed it, especially with a side of well composed fattoush salad (+$5.99 to upgrade). Beef shish kebab ($14.99) and lamb shawarma ($15.99) wraps were both excellent and moist, a good balance of protein and vegetable. I didn't try them, but the "cheese pies" ($12.99) turned out to be pitas covered with a large amount of melty white cheese that some young children might enjoy as pizza. (Mine probably would've found them to be "too cheesy," but they're mutants.) They came three to an order. When you dine in, they bring a big basket of warm pita / pida to the table -- quite a generous touch!! I think it's house made and of course went beautifully with our food. Bottom line: GREAT FALAFEL! Great, low-key, family-friendly vibe. Good for vegetarians and non-vegs. Go.

    I love this place! I remember when I was 26 I came here once's and I felt in love! Come and enjoy!…read moreYou're going to loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!
