First time trying CAVA! Plenty of parking in the plaza and the inside is super spacious with outside seating as well. It is basically like Chipotle style where you can order down the line. Service is quite fast and I love that there is a build your own option since i'm so picky! I got the saffron rice, mixed greens, steak (extra charge so worth it though), Tzatziki sauce, broccoli, corn, pita crisps, pita, garlic dressing, and green sauce. The rice is so flavorful and everything paired so well together. The steak was a bit overcooked but other than that I really enjoyed it! I would definitely come back. read more

I just wanted to take a moment to shout out Leslie -- she is seriously the best. Every time we come in, she's always so welcoming, courteous, and on top of everything. You can tell she genuinely cares, and it makes such a difference in the overall experience. She's always communicative, attentive, and just has that energy that instantly makes your day better. It's rare to come across someone who consistently goes above and beyond like she does. Thank you, Leslie, for always taking care of us and making each visit such a great one. It truly doesn't go unnoticed! read more

Delicious and affordable. I tend to get the grain bowl with lentils for a bit of extra protein, but I tried the saffron rice recently and it was surprisingly flavorful. I would definitely recommend the bowls over wraps, though. Those fall apart really easily and drip sauce everywhere. Service is friendly, but this store gets pretty busy and I think they prioritize in-person orders over online ones. On the last few times I ordered on the app, my order took a fair bit longer to make than estimated. Store is decently clean, but again, really busy in there. Not all the tables are clean all the time, but it's understandable. read more

I love cava.. but this location the service here is not good at all and my lentils was under cooked which is a disappointment but other than that my food was good as always.. read more

Had to keep asking the worker to pls give me more she was giving very very small portions and still the bowl looks extremely empty for the price and the images demonstrated on Cava's menu. This was my first time and seeing the portion that was given for the price I was extremely disappointed. The food does looks delicious read more

CAVA - Salmon strawberry bowl and mint cucumber drink - Mediterranean Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Holy cow. This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. 10/10 you need to try it at least once. I'd heard from many people it's a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. And yes, while that's true, it's so much better, fresher, and tastier. My only hesitation is their Yelp didn't have enough photos of the menu... until now ;-) I've added photos of everything so you can plan before you arrive. Here's what we ordered: Spicy Chicken Avocado Pita - This was served with Harissa Honey Chicken. My husband devoured it. There were no leftovers, but I was able to sneak in a bite. I've always loved spicy food, but I had surgery a few years ago and can no longer tolerate spice. So this was delicious, but I wouldn't be able to order it for myself. 1x Build Your Own Bowl - This comes with a complimentary pita slice. I hate leftovers, but trust me when I say, this got ate. I can't wait to go back! Now that I have a better idea of all the ingredients, I'll be experimenting to build my perfect bowl. My only regret is not asking for the dressing on the side. Only because all the ingredients are flavorful and can stand on their own. I don't need dressing in every bite. Below is what I ordered for my bowl: - Base (mix): Saffron Basmati Rice and Black Lentils - Dips (up to 3): Tzatziki, traditional hummus, crazy feta - Mains (1 or mix 2): Chicken Shawarma + Falafel - Toppings (unlimited): fire-roasted corn, tomato + cucumber, Persian cucumbers - Dressings (1): Tahini Caesar Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips - Holy hell. This alone was worth the trip. Although it was delicious with the honey, it's strong enough to stand on it's own without it. This is a must try. Do not skip this. 2x Drinks - My husband stuck with a soda, but I tried two of the housemade drinks before deciding. I tried the Cucumber drink which was lovely, but I was more in the mood for tart so I opted to drink the Pineapple Apple Mint juice. You MUST try this place at least once. read more

Have been here a few times, lunch and dinner - although the line looks long it goes quick! Staff is very friendly and give generous portions. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. One of our favorite spots! read more

Convenient location and clean interior. I've eaten here a few times and there's always ample seating, but I prefer not to because the seats are crazy hard and uncomfortable. Bathrooms require a code, and could use a little more attention but aren't too bad. Order in advance because they always take about 20 minutes to process online orders. The food is delicious, fresh, flavorful, weirdly affordable, and they offer many more options for custom bowls than competitors. There's complimentary sparkling water from the fountain, and seemingly no normal water. The grains bowl is a much better value than the greens bowl. You can even make it more macro friendly by getting lentils as your base! I have never seen a place like this offer a protein as if it were a carb. It's an insane value and so filling, as compared to salad bases. I used to just get salad bowls, but halfway through my meal I'd be out of greens and still have a ton of the other stuff left over. I feel that greens bowls should be filled up to the top and grains bowls up to the line, instead of both being filled up to the line. Getting lentils makes it so much more balanced. The bowls seem like they triple in weight. I just add greens at home and I can stretch the same portion out for 3-4 meals. read more

We ordered food on a Sunday afternoon. Today we decided to order for an online pick up. It was pretty busy when we arrived but the pick up wasn't too bad. I ordered the chicken + rice with super greens, roasted veggies and lemon herb dressing. The portions we received weren't equally put in. For instance, my bowl mainly consisted of supergreens and a few pieces of chicken. I barely had any rice or veggies. Although just a few, the veggies were either burnt or old. I couldn't tell which one but they were all black. I also asked to include the free pita bread which wasn't included in any of our five bowls. I double checked the receipt and that, too, says Free Pita as part of order but we didn't receive any. Not sure which part of the meal it was but I had a faint taste of bitterness. I wasn't sure if it was all the super greens or part of the sauce. I would rate my bowl a 5.5/10. read more

This location is really nice. Found my favorite bowl combo today too: Saffron rice, tzatziki 2, traditional hummus, 1/2 steak 1/2 roasted veggies, corn, pickled onion, tomato + cucumber, Persian cucumber, Kalamata olives x2, crumbled feta x2, and tahini Caesar dressing on the side. Also the strawberry citrus drink or the cucumber mint lime are delicious. The only way it could be better is if they opened a Cava in Yucaipa/Redlands/Loma Linda area because it's much closer to where I live. read more

CAVA - Sisters bowl on left, mine on right with dressing on the side - Mediterranean Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

I was very excited to try, but didn't feel welcomed, first time there and there were about 8 employees hanging around but kept us waiting for ten minutes before being helped. We went around 8pm and a lot of the choices were out, which I guess was our fault but we thought since there were still 2 hours before closing we'd be good. I'm not sure if this is meant to be cold since it's my first time but I tried a bowl, it was a little strange eating cold rice, and cold meat like the steak and falafa so I wasn't a fan of a cold bowl, not all the hype people make it out to be read more

Cava is such a great meal especially for those with a sensitive stomach just don't get the falafel bc it's fried and could hurt your stomach if you have a sensitive stomach. Light, refreshing and filling. I didn't see anyone post about the options and couldn't find pictures and I wanted to share what they offer for those that are ordering for the first time. My go to order is as follows; Bowl with arugula and lentils as base. Regular hummus, crazy feta and tzaziki. Grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Firey broccoli, pickled onions, tomato and onion, Persian cucumber, avocado Skhug, garlic dressing, balsamic date vinaigrette. Service is always fast and it's always calm inside which creates a good atmosphere to enjoy your meal. read more

I came to this location excited to get my usual - the avocado harissa bowl with pita chips. And I ordered just that! There were pita chips on the counter but I wanted them warm to eat right away so the worker was kind enough to make me some fresh ones. Customer service here is good and I overheard a woman behind me giving the worker some grief an he remainder professional and answers the rude woman's questions. 10/10 read more

This cava location needs significant improvement. All 3 times I have been here, I have been charged anywhere from $19-24 dollars and I order the same thing every time. The portions are extremely small and the braised lamb I payed extra for was just a chunk of fat. I have been to 5 cava locations and never again will I return to this one. read more

So good! Someone likened Cava to a "Mediterranean Chipotle". You go down the line adding your desired ingredients, or, you can order a pre-designed dish. Let me tell you, it was so delicious!! Such amazing flavor, and great prices. My only qualm...there is not a Cava where I live yet! I can only hope one opens up, they will have a loyal customer in me! read more

I love this cava. The service is usually pretty fast and the quality never suffers. I usually get a salad bowl with falafel, red pepper hummus, harissa and tzatziki, all the veggies, pita crisps and tahini. The falafel is always warm and crispy. The flavors continue to complement the ingredients in my bowl. It is definitely a favorite of mine to grab during lunch if I didn't bring anything to work. It lasts two meals and hits both times. Affordable and delicious. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it! read more

Food: Decent. The flavors combined were good. A solid option if you're in the mood for Mediterranean food. Service: Decent. The workers were nice and helpful when I visited. Ambiance: Bright and inviting. The well-lit space made it feel fresh and open, creating a nice atmosphere for a casual meal. read more

I really tried to give this place a chance, but this was beyond disappointing. Pulled up on a Friday night--an hour before closing (they close at 10:30pm)--after driving 20 minutes to get there. I walk in just to be told, "We stop cooking at 8pm." Huh? It's 9:30. Not only were they out of meat, but they were also out of pita chips. Like... how do you run out of ALL your meat and snacks at a spot that's supposed to stay open another hour? What really got me though was the lack of effort. No, "Can I offer you something else?" No "We can whip up a quick order of xyz." Just... "The kitchen's closed." No solution, no courtesy, no care. If you're going to advertise being open until 10:30, then be prepared to serve customers until then--or at least let people know what to expect before they waste time and gas getting there. Do better. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place but they need a new manager or team I found a rock in my meal it's unbelievable Almost cracked my tooth with that small rock My food was cold and the quality of the steak is not like before I'm very disappointed read more

This was my first and last time coming to Cava. I hope this is a franchise and other Cava locations are better. The staff was so rude when my party of three came in during lunch on a weekday. They didn't want to help us, as they were doing other tasks. I can't believe they rolled their eyes at the thought of helping customers. They used to do a military discount and the place was packed. They do not do military discount anymore. The restaurant was dead. Despite being dead, the restaurant was clean. My create your own bowl came out to about $15. Everything was fresh and customizable. It was delicious, but the service ruined it for me. $15 is pretty expensive for lunch, which is why I bring my own from home. I won't be coming back here because of the staff. read more

With all these build-to-order style restaurants it's somewhat difficult for me to get excited, but the opportunity to try the new Cava location in Moreno Valley somewhat convinced me this model can work. The line was moderately long when a friend and I walked in. Previously, she had enjoyed the Greek Salad, and I was going in willing to try whatever. Because the line was long enough I changed my mind a few times, but ultimately settled on the Harisa steak bowl, especially after seeing an employee chop up a freshly grilled steak and seeing it was an honest medium temperature. My turn came and I had the person helping me add black lentils and saffron rice to the bowl. Otherwise, I went with the "stock" recipe and it proved ample in quantity and quality. Overall, I'd return for sure. I'd like to try the falafel wrap, and the chicken Shawerma as well. Prices are reasonable, too. read more

ORDER half greens half rice bowl (3/5) this is a busy location and there is always a wait. they're pretty inconsistent, so sometimes they can be very skimpy. this day in particular, my bowl was basically a soup. i think they didn't shake the skhug or something, but the picture below doesnt show nearly as much water that was in my bowl. another bad experience i had was after waiting for 30 minutes, my bowl was put on pause since the worker preparing my bowl stopped to make a bowl for her coworker to take home instead. SERVICE slow service, but they are friendly AMBIANCE plenty of seats inside read more

So happy this is in MoVal now. I highly recommend their Grilled Steak + Harissa Chicken. High quality meat options! Not too salty and they don't skimp on the portion. Can't go wrong with a falafel too. Their Crazy Feta, Hummus, and Pickles always hit the spot!!! Service here can be pretty slow because of long lines that come at rush hour. Surprisingly, I came at 3:30 PM and it was still a long wait. Definitely order online if you can. read more

Cava is near and dear to my heart, and I make sure to grab some when I visit Southern California since they don't have any Bay Area locations yet! I always gravitate towards going half and half on their grilled steak and grilled chicken, and their harissa butter is to die for. The employee helping us was so sweet, she gave us heaping portions of protein and greens for our bowl. We asked for pickled onions and feta cheese on the side, and their containers pack a hefty amount! Even though this can err on the pricier side (typically coming in at around $17 per bowl depending on your add ons), I find that the combination of accessible and healthy food that comes quickly and is convenient to take on-the-go/finish at a later time is worth it. We noted that some Cava locations do not have the ability to order online, but this one does. If you can place your order on the website/app and come in, you'll save yourself from spending time waiting in line with fellow eager patrons. read more

This is a newer spot conveniently located off Day St. the selection of food is plenty. Even for those that don't eat meat. There's a variety of drinks as well. The staff helped me figure out what my friend and I wanted - after lots of questions. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It didn't feel rushed. They have a large seating area inside and an outside patio section too. It was nice! Highly recommend. read more

I wish I got this woman's name and would call corporate to give an glowing review because she went above and beyond. I ordered to go because I had 2 sleeping kids in the car and then brought them down to pick up my order. They were running behind which was no biggie, but also had a ticking time bomb with my sleepy toddler. She went above and beyond and gave him an apple juice, as a mom, this is just so so appreciated. Her customer service was absolutely everything! And the food was delicious. I went at 5 pm 9/13, and she gave manager energy, again wish I got her name so I can call corporate because wow! read more

This was my first time here. The Menu was a little confusing. I downloaded their app and it was really simple to "build your own bowl". It is very similar to a Chipotle style fast serve. The food was great. There were a lot of different options. The service felt a little slow, but they were busy when I got there. I will definitely be a customer of Cava in the future. read more

From the time I indulged my taste buds into those pita chips.....I knew I had made the right decision. I got full off those chips, so I had to wait a while before eating my Garlic Chicken wrap. Those chips are some of the most delicious soft/crispy chips I've ever tried. When I finally tries my wrap, it was made to perfection and I loved every bite of it. I also tried the Pineapple Apple Mint drink. It was "ok", supposed to have Apple Cider in it, but I just mostly tasted the pineapple and mint. Glad I tasted what the hype is about. read more

Usually every time I come here the service is ok, the food is delicious and there is a variety of items to choose from. However, I went today, Sunday, assuming they would be great but was very disappointed. I understand that it was dinner rush and it was busy but they ran out of most of the items on the front, yet they were taking care of their mobile orders. Found that to he very rude. I asked for hummus and was told there wasn't any, same as tzatiki. I asked for something similar and was told the yogurt dill was sort of the same, yet they were also out of this. Not sure if this is typically how they do their business but honestly, they cant keep up with the busy environment. I feel like I overpaid for a bowl when most of the stuff was unavailable. Reminded me to chipotles downfall. Definitely will take my business elsewhere and maybe if im in the area and feel like giving them a shot oll try hopefully they fix their stuff otherwise I dont see this place surviving in the long run. read more

I've consistently experienced poor customer service here. For several months now, my takeout orders are 15-20 minutes late. When you arrive at the restaurant and are looking for the takeout orders, the employees usually ignore you. I waited by the register for 10 minutes before anyone even asked if I needed something, and saw other customers do the same. We've given them many chances, but this last pickup caused a 20 minute delay and caused the other food we had picked up to get cold. Just not worth it. read more
