    The food was amazing, the rice was crazy. But to be fair it's hard to mess up Mediterranean. The first dude who helped me was ok but the lady who helped after him was helpful and patient and nice. And understanding. I didn't sit inside but I sat outside and it feels good. Green hills mall is just boujie anyways. But yeah I'm giving it 3 stars only because why tf was that little ass bowl and drink $18 fr. And to not even get me remotely full. First and last time eating Cava, at least Chipotle burritos fill you up.

    Stopped by this CAVA in Nashville for a quick dinner and was impressed by how fast and efficient the line moved -- even during the dinner rush. The staff kept things moving smoothly, and everything looked clean and fresh. The menu was a bit limited, and it seemed like 99% of folks were doing bowls, but I went for the shawarma pita instead. Flavor-wise -- excellent! The ingredients were fresh, vibrant, and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken. That said, there was one hiccup. It looked like the staff member making my order was reading the steps off a card, which is totally fine -- everyone learns somewhere! But maybe it wasn't written on the card to drain the onions before adding them, because by the time I got back to my hotel (a 3-minute walk), the entire paper wrap was soaked. The vinegar and sauce mix had completely drenched the pita, making it nearly impossible to eat without a fork. So overall -- great taste, great ingredients, friendly service, but maybe a little more attention to prep details (especially draining the toppings) would take this from good to great. Would definitely come back -- just probably sticking to the bowl next time!

    Easy parking in the lot. I found this place on Happy Cow and it was a convenient location with plenty of parking. I guess it's a chain but I had never heard of it before. It was like chitpotle for Mediterranean food. I had a bowl with the black lentils and did half and half with the felafel and veggies. It was delicious. The dining area was busy but not crowded. They seem a tad bit understaffed as my table was dirty, but that seems to be the norm these days. Or maybe they were just swamped. I did not have to wait in line long. This was a good healthy dinner that filled me up. Staff was super knowledgeable about what was vegan and helped me order. Will definitely be back!

    I could eat cava every day and not get tired of it. It's just one of those things. I don't really understand. The thing is I do order very regularly and my order is always spot on and consistent. I know exactly what I'm gonna get every time I order and I think that is crucial. I have never had an issue with a missing or late order when I order ahead or for delivery so they've got that all figured out as well.

    I love CAVA and this is one of the locations I used to frequent when I worked over here. Today found myself with time to visit again and had a fabulous lunch. The staff is kind and this spot is usually busy, thankfully there is plenty of outdoor seating as it gets very loud inside. I love being able to hit my macronutrients here - usually go for 1/2 lentils and 1/2 greens to bulk up on fiber with grilled chicken and all the desired veggies, I love the red pepper hummus and eggplant dips with the yogurt fill dressing! Also gotta love their Maine Root drinks that are real sugar cane based if you want a sweet treat!

    This was my first time at cava and of course I had to check and see what the hype was about! I ordered the Harissa Avocado bowl ! The ordering process was easy, I actually ordered it how it came and made no changes. The bow was fulfilling and I felt light after eating it.

    Visited Cavas in Nashville today and got the chicken salad bowl and the food was freaking amazing! My family will definitely be back we could not find parking. Considering the amount of people there the wait wait wasn't extremely long. Fresh and very healthy alternative to hamburgers and fries. Highly recommend this restaurant. A+

    bowl with falafel and chicken

    The ambiance at cava at green hills is very clean and welcoming. I was greeted immediately by the staff "Welcome to Cava"! With smiling faces, the food is fresh, tasty, and full of flavor I will definitely be back!

    the "Bowl" I was served.

    This isn't a half eaten bowl. I pushed all the food to one side to see if it would even half fill the bowl. They skimped me on practically everything and $15 was the cost of this bowl. So disappointed.

    I needed a quick spot to grab a bite before a Zoom meeting and saw this place had a short line,…read moreplus I love Greek food, so I went for it. Physical Location & Service: The space itself is great. It's clean, airy, and thankfully cool, which is a lifesaver in a Nashville summer. There's also plenty of seating available. The cashier and the workers were friendly, which was a nice touch. Food & Flavor: This is where it all fell apart. I got the build-your-own bowl with the Mediterranean harissa chicken. I'm not sure if they got the memo that this is the home of hot chicken, but the harissa chicken was completely bland and not spicy at all. The rice pilaf was a major letdown--super under-seasoned and crunchy, like some of the grains were uncooked. The tzatziki sauce was also underwhelming, just an unseasoned yogurt mess with no flavor. Value: All of that came to $17 for a very unsatisfying meal. I wasn't expecting an authentic Greek experience, just something Greek-adjacent, and this felt more like something from a bland potluck. Definitely not worth the price for the quality of food received.

    I won't lie this was not my best takeout experience. I cannot speak on the service or ambiance…read moresince I just stopped in quickly to grab my food; I'll say that it was ready punctually. However for the price that I paid I would expect a lot more food. There was barely anything in there and almost no tzatziki. What was there was good, but I am not sure I'd order here again

I've wanted to eat at Fattoush Café since I moved to Nashville, but I've never found myself in that part of town at meal time. We walked in and found a cozy atmosphere, with no pretense. A single gentleman behind the counter, who may have been the owner, begged our indulgence as none of his employees had shown up to work that day. We were fine to wait given the delicious smells coming from the grill. He asked us if we wanted the chicken shawarma, and then apologized because he was freshly cooking a batch and it would take 15 minutes to be ready. That was music to our ears. Any Mediterranean restaurant that cooks proteins to order shows great promise. We had a chicken Shawarma salad, and the super platter. The portions were tremendous, the proteins were spectacular, and the tzatziki and spicy sauce both tasted looked and smelled homemade. The hummus was some of the best I've had in this town. The total for two huge meals, that really fed us each twice, was a paltry $40. The man behind the counter thanked us for coming in, again thanked us before we left, and was genuinely kind and seemed happy to have us in the restaurant. Very highly recommended for an amazing Middle Eastern meal on Charlotte Pike near downtown Nashville.

    Where to begin?... great food, reasonably priced, and energetic and happy vibe…read more 1. This place was packed at 11am on a Wednesday. Two guys behind the counter in total control of their domain. Serving food that took time, but was delivered with quality in mind. Not skimping just to get through the rush. 2. Locals were happy to recommend options, and staff/owner made how they like. No one disappointed me, just wish I had a larger appetite. If you like authentic food cooked from the heart, try it out.
