    Spicy lamb & avocado bowl
    Surelyne L.

    It's been a while since I've been to this location. Glad to see that it's changed for the better. It was very busy for 2:30pm on a Saturday...a good sign! The staff were very efficient and friendly. Food was very fresh as they were constantly replenishing items while I was waiting. I've always loved Cava for the food but have been avoiding it because the other location in Cary was very poorly run and not clean. This location is far superior in terms of service and cleanliness. Great place to grab a quick, healthy & delicious bite if you're shopping in the area.

    First time at this location. I got a bowl with greens, grilled chicken and lots of veggies. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I got the Greek dressing and I plan to get it again. The service was good, nice attitude and my order was correct. Drinks are self serve and they have some interesting flavors. The place was clean and they had a nice outdoor seating area. Nice music playing. One of the few places I know to get a good salad!

    The service was great and fast. They got me fresh basmati rice and extra lentils! Loved all of the toppings they offered and they made sure to fill my bowl to the brim!

    The very dirty food area I think the image doesn't do justice for what I saw there

    Worst Cava I've ever been to. The staff is rude, careless, and clearly doesn't want to work. The place is filthy and disgusting, not even a comfortable environment to eat in. The service is awful from start to finish. I will never come back and I don't recommend this location to anyone.

    This meal was too good. I ordered it online and was ready super quick. I love CAVA! Such a good spot

    Chicken + Rice

    The food was really good. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the lady at the register was very rude. She basically threw my bag at me after I paid. She said "here" and threw the bag on the counter. Very nasty attitude. Probably won't go back to this location, but I'll go to a different one and hopefully receive better customer service.

    Small and very clean, almost hole in the wall kind of place in an old shopping center in a…read moreresidential neighborhood. Arabic music playing. Service is very friendly, and as quick as possible, considering that stuff seems to be made to order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter which comes over a bed of basmati rice, possibly with saffron. Whatever the rice tasted great and it wasn't dry like at a lot of places. The chicken was marinated in a tangy yogurt-spice mix, grilled and topped with a tahini sauce. Delicious! As sides I got mujadara and roasted vegetables which were also tasty. I'll be back for takeout for sure in the future.

    "Bodega-like Mediterranean Grill & Grocery in Parkwood area of Durham"…read more This place is WAY off the beaten path for most, but I'm so happy to have gotten to try it out. Nestled in a little strip between a Muslim school and a mosque is this grill and grocery. We came on a Wednesday evening, and almost every table was already taken by diners. You order your food at a counter, and it has the Middle Eastern foods you'd expect-- kofta, shawarma, gyros, falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, baklava, etc. I opted for the lamb gyro sandwich with a side of baba ghanouj, and my dining partner had the falafel sandwich. They call your number when it's ready. Food took maybe 10 minutes to receive, so we browsed the market area. It's not a huge selection, but very traditional-- nice seeing so many labels in Arabic, and along with standards (e.g., canned fava beans for Ful Medames), they also had things like frozen chopped mulukhiyah leaves-- that's definitely a rarer sight. Lots of good spices too. The food was EXCELLENT. The lamb was juicy and perfect (unlike what another Yelp review said), the tzatziki sauce was delicious, and the baba ghanouj was perfectly cooked and textured. I had a small bite of the falafel, and it was indeed one of the best I've had in the US. Price was fair, too-- the sandwiches are all under $10 before tax and tip, and making it a combo with side and drink cost just something like $2.50. And service was friendly-- although they called out numbers, they did walk out with the food to try to find and bring you your dishes. And while it was an older space, it was overall still generally clean. Overall, I'd VERY happily come back.

I usually order the two chicken skewer kabobs with rice, a super salad, and the jalapeño cilantro hummus. The hummus is *so* good that I often grab a small container to take with me when I travel. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients, especially with olive oil as a base. They offer both fresh pita and gluten-free pita, which is great for anyone with dietary restrictions. Honestly, I could make a meal just out of all the sides--they're that good. The menu is consistently solid, and I feel like you really can't go wrong with anything you order. It's a perfect spot for a low-key lunch or dinner.

I would have appreciated a little more guidance from the staff when making my choices, as I think it would have helped me order more confidently. Overall, it's a good place with plenty of options and great portion sizes.

The service was friendly, though it seemed like a team effort, so different staff members would take our order or bring out food instead of one dedicated server. That occasionally led to delays when we asked for refills or extra plates, and we usually had to repeat the request to our waitress later. For dinner, I shared the Kofta Kebab and Lahmacun with a friend, and the portion size was just enough for both of us to leave full. Unfortunately, parts of the kebab were burnt, so maybe we just caught them on an off night. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the warm pita bread they brought to the table. If you're looking to try Turkish food, Bosphorus is worth checking out, but I'd probably order different dishes next time or visit when it's a little less busy.

We were able to get our food within a few minutes after asking for it to go and letting them know we had a movie to go to. We did get a chance to eat some of our food before rushing over to the theater. The beef was seasoned well and tender. The lemon garlic sauce was so good. The rice and vegetables were plentiful, plenty of chickpeas. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. My daughter gave the Chicken wrap a 7 out of 10. There were some patrons dining in and several pick up orders during the hour we were there. I'd definitely go back and try some of the other menu options.
