    Free pita
    Jeanilee S.

    First time trying Cava. I ordered pickup through the app and got a salad bowl with chicken. Lots of parking and very spacious. I like the variety you have to choose from and it was hard to pick which dips I wanted since I wanted to try them all haha. Comes in a big yellow cava bag upon request.

    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.

    I took a cava break for a while bc i was having it so much and finally tried it again after a few months and tasted so so good! I love to do the build your own bowl with steak and the portions are always so big. They have the perfect toppings that are so fresh and crunchy and a variety of flavors.

    I love their choices. Every time I go I try something new or different so far I don't have a favorite to go since I'm still exploring their menu but haven't been disappointed yet. My son is enjoying his options as well, staff is friendly and very patient. Level of noise is appropriate and can have a conversation with having to yell, enjoy the background music.

    I've been here before but glad I came back today to get the Harissa Avocado and Salmon bowl. I was amazed how quick ordering was and that time was not wasted! I love the freshness that you can taste from the vegetables and the distinct sauce for the bowl of choice! I am so happy with my food. The place was spacious and organized. (The rest room needs attention please). Price for the 2 orders about $39.00. Definitely worth the price!

    The food was pretty decent the chicken was cooked all the way through and had flavor. All of the condiments I get were available from the fiery broccoli to the cucumber and tomatoes. Everything appears to be freshly made. The only weird part was when I walked in initially nobody spoke and welcomed me in. Then a minute of awkward silence someone said I'll be right with you. Besides that I can't complain. The ambiance is kind of dead like I stated earlier when I walked in nobody spoke it took a few minutes to get a hello I'll be with you. All and all pretty decent I would try that location again to see if the service gets better.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Sisters bowl on left, mine on right with dressing on the side
    Kristen S.

    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.

    Ruthie L.

    Really good food. Fresh ingredients and sizable portions for the price. I ordered a bowl with half chicken and half steak, traditional hummus, fire roasted corn, cucumber/tomato mix, tzatziki sauce and dill dressing, feta cheese, and the base was mixed greens with brown rice. Highly recommend.

    Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

    We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.

We both got the chicken Schwarma. These plates come with brown/white rice, humus, and a house salad. A side for garlic is provided. Be sure to ask for Tahini and the spicy red sauce if you want more sauces! The food is well proportioned and the flavors are better than Cava - which had been my favorite place to go for Mediterranean food for the taste and cost. I quickly devoured everything, and the music reminded me of an upbeat, energetic, and bright social gathering. It was also a bit of a hidden surprise for me to realize this is two restaurants combined into one - if you want you have the option to try Italian dishes from Angelo's! I hope to try it the next time. Iced water with lemon slices topped off my experience. I don't think I come across many restaurants that would offer lemon slices right off the bat without you asking. Thank you all so much for your service and kindness.

If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!
