CAVA is what my dreams are made of. Honestly, if someone told me I had one last meal, I'd seriously consider making it a CAVA bowl. The lamb meatballs? ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED. They're so good I have to remind myself to chew instead of immediately inhaling them. Whoever came up with that recipe deserves a raise... and maybe a holiday. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and somehow makes me feel like I'm eating healthy while also having the time of my life. It's the perfect combination of "I'm making responsible choices" and "I would fight someone over the last meatball." 10/10. No notes. If you need me, I'll be thinking about those lamb meatballs until my next visit. read more

The service was well I ordered to pick up and the food was very good and felt very fresh! read more

CAVA - Spicy Chicken + Avocado - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I finally got my hands on a bowl at Cava and I'm here to say that it totally lives up to the hype. I built my own bowl with white rice, leafy greens, chicken shawarma for my protein, all the veggies and topped with tzatziki and garlic sauce. Absolutely delicious and it's a healthy alternative to traditional fast food -- I really wish we had more locations in the Midwest. The service was normal, seeing that I wasn't in a rush and the inside is very narrow but offers quite a bit of seating. If you haven't tried it, you're seriously missing out. read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

CAVA is, by far, my favourite fast-casual restaurant. The food is so quick, there are so many options, and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. This location was less busy than the other ones I've been to, but that could also be because I was here within an hour of opening. Classic to CAVA, there were wide open windows that helped bring the light in and frame the restaurant if you were dining indoors. The front mostly has bar seating by the windows, but some seated ones in the back. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 and not a 5 is because this location is quite narrow and I prefer the booth seating in the other CAVA locations, but the food here is consistent with the other branches. Enjoy! read more

Food is delicious. Good place for a quick service meal and has seating. Ambiance is ok, it's just a fast food place! read more

CAVA - Bowl - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Have I fallen in love with Cava! Their new chicken shawarma bowl is a must-try. The tender chicken dish is seasoned with a great shawarma spice blend. Packed with fresh ingredients like crisp greens and creamy hummus, every bite is a perfect mix of flavors. It's a healthy and indulgent treat. Definitely recommend. read more

Decided to try Cava. Ordered a Falafel crunch bowl--loved that everything was fresh and tasty. Most of the dressings are vegan. The only drawback was that they only give 2 falafel balls while most other places give 4 falafel balls--that is a big difference. For $17, I thought it was too small. They charge extra if you want more. Originally the bowl was $12.95, I added avocado. I heard that the serving size is usually one falafel--guess I got lucky with two. The meal was good. Great place is you don't mind paying big bucks for a tiny portion of something good. The service was okay, no complaints. The setup and checkout line reminded me of Chipotle with a takeout ambiance--I do not recall anyone sitting. read more

I checked out the cava on Madison Avenue which isn't too far from this location. I suggest that you order pickup as waiting on that line would take forever. They did have my order correct and it was ready before my scheduled pickup time which was great. The store was very clean so I was satisfied with that. You do have to pack your own meal into the brown paper bag to go along with utensils and napkins. If you order a drink, you would get a cup to get it from the fountain. read more

"My manager's right here" is all I'm going to remember about this location being so stingy when asking for 1/4 of a scoop of chicken more lol. It's pretty lowkey though. It's nice to stare at 3rd avenue though when sitting down eating. The food is good though it's more flavorful than others it's really some of the employees who aren't the best read more

I can't believe what I've been missing out on all these years! The restaurants menu was simple, and clearly written. The standout dishes exist but so does reliability. Restaurant workers created memorable moments throughout. The menu is well-priced and the dishes are delicious. read more

guys... what is going on here? we ordered 2 sides, tzatziki and eggplant. The portion we got is about a teaspoonful of each. It would be comical if it wasn't for them each costing approximately 5 dollars. You all should re-evaluate your sides and if it's not economical for you to give more, just don't offer them, because my meal shouldn't start with disappointment getting out of the bag. Also the size of my spicy greens bowl was extremely small, like something for a kids menu. Also 2 ingredients were missing. Never again. read more

Love CAVA! Recently ate at the Bergen Town Center mall location after what must've been like ~5 years, I have to say I really enjoyed the food & overall experience. My old work colleague had the Harissa avocado bowl and I had the Greek chicken bowl - both with pita chips at his recommendation - and the whole bowl was super tasty and that pita chip was to die for. It was crunchy, perfectly savory, with that guilty dose of fried taste that livens up the flavors! I may never be able to go back to plain pitas! As for drinks, I tried their cucumber mint lime and say whatttt? Perfect sour & punchy accompaniment to the hearty meal! My colleague was telling me he eats there like 1-2x a week because he's such a fan, and I became that - and went again a few days later to a different location because I couldn't get enough of that mediterranean flavor combo CAVA does very well! I'll say that when building Harissa Avocado bowl I realized the cost is rather steep (like $18 for a bowl? I like the sound of that bowl but no thanks) for what it is, so I just stuck to regular greek chicken bowl... but Cava definitely earns my praise in delivering bold & tasty flavors in healthy packages! read more

Amazing service! Amazing food! Thank you so much for the Tyleia! The place is clean and they play good Music while you eat. I love cava! I drove 28minutes just to come here. read more

I visited this location after work, and as usual CAVA did not disappoint. The employees were friendly and worked quickly to assemble my bowl. The ingredients tasted fresh and there were plenty of seats to sit inside. I love that cava labels their menu with allergens so it makes decision making easy when you're in line. Sadly the falafel is not gluten free and there aren't gluten free pita options. This location is conveniently located near grand central so it's easy to grab on your way to your evening commute, or even a quick lunch spot! read more

Cava is my favorite Mediterranean quick stop location. The employees go out of their way to ensure you are satisfied with your bowl/meal. The manager saw I was looking for my pre-ordered lunch bowl and went out of his way to assist and when I screwed it up, had my order made immediately and was super helpful and nice. read more

Come here for lunch sometimes and the lines are so long. For good reason I'm in love with their Harissa Honey chicken salad. The ingredients are so fresh for the most part. There was one time the rice was undercooked. But usually on point. You can customize your own salad and add as many toppings as you like. Overall although the lines are always long, their salads are worth the wait. read more

Great new location of CAVA - only one block from Grand Central heading towards the UN. Seems to have only been open for a couple of months as the interior is still fairly new. The food is of solid quality as at other CAVA location. Servings are on the smaller side but portions are still filling and the service is friendly & fast - a much appreciated contrast to other CAVA locations I've visited in the past. Similarly, their electronic equipment is actually working which also wasn't the case at other locations. Making use of the loyalty program CAVA offers through their app helps to offsets the price a bit. It's not very large location and seating is mainly along the window. Wasn't a problem for lunch on a Sunday but it's probably good to be prepared to just get take-out during busy hours. They could improve cleaning of the tables in between customers though as some people are rather messy eaters. read more

New York's hottest new club is CAVA. Located in the armpit of Midtown, this place has everything: lines out the door, limited seating, Everlane-clad corporate women, enough Patagonia puffers to open a store, people talking on the phone loudly about stock trades, Dan Cortese. Look, it's CAVA. It's a well-oiled Midtown office lunch machine. Great food, great service, awful lines. read more

This was my first time trying CAVA and I just happened to be on a trip at the same time. I was greeted when I came in. However, there were no spicy falafels when I ordered which was disappointing. However, I did get the regular falafels and everything fasted great. I would come back again. read more

This Cava location made my first experience so amazing. The team member Dimitri took his time going over all the options for me and answering all my questions through each station. Checkout was smooth and they treated me to a free treat for my first visit. They were very friendly and great customer service. The food is soooo good. Am very happy. Nice fresh ingredients. I ate the entire bowl up! The chicken and yogurt dips were so yummy. I enjoyed the toppings I picked and liked that it's unlimited. The place is clean and pleasing. I definitely will be coming back! read more

Neneh is amazing! I came in one rainy evening, completely soaked and so hungry. Safe to say, it wasn't the best day until I got here. Neneh truly turned things around! She was so kind and generous, especially with the protein portions. Her energy and service made all the difference. This is hands-down the best CAVA location I've been to. If you're nearby, do yourself a favor and come eat here support this awesome team! Huge thanks to Neneh again! read more

Always come to this location! It's great, workers are super nice and always help out.

5 stars for the food, as usual. always give large portions and everything is fresh. beautiful location and looks modern since it's new. Staff who cleans up afterwards are extremely rude: talking smack about customers in front of them, wiping tables immediately next to a customer eating - extremely unprofessional attitude. Always a busy location and such a great store but looking forward to change in staffing. read more

The food was super tasty like others mentioned, but for the price it's a tiny portion. I was surprised how the bowl was hardly filled. Pretty disappointing for a new spot that has super fresh food! read more

Tasty food at a convenient location with competent staff. When I visited, it was clean and had enough seating space for my friend and I, but I do think the seating space can be a bit limited (based on the time we visited). Overall good, and would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

I love cava! The nicest staff and everything is super clean! Best food! Very delicious.

All is good food, service & ambiance. We like the menu selection even for children. Definitely will share with friends.

Possibly the worst cava service I've ever had. Rude employees, out of most of the ingredients and messy tables. Won't be coming back.

I had a great meal here this week. Service was fast and the team was friendly. It was really busy for a rainy day!

Not a well run cava. Never makes online orders on time. Opens on time. Has ingredients. Etc

Super accommodating and nice The manager was amazing with my brothers allergy concerns! read more

Really good! I was visiting NYC for work and ordered a salad for delivery. It was delivered within 45 minutes and the order was perfect! I got a salad with half lamb and half chicken, and a side of pita bread. The salad was really good, and the bread was warm and soft. It came with cutlery too which was a nice bonus because I was in the office. Bonus points because the bowl and cutlery were compostable! read more

Very fast service, and the staff was friendly! Love this local spot! Will definitely be coming back for more.

Amazing food and service! Great portions at very reasonable prices. Super tasty and healthy.

Terrible service all the way down the line. First girl didn't say hello, didn't walk me through the ordering process, didn't explain how ordering here works. Rude when putting the food into the bowls as if it was painful for her to be there. Second girl barely talked. Was rude with applying portions and when I said what sauce I wanted she just said "we're out of that", to every sauce I did rather than saying which ones they had in stock. Last guy hated that I asked for pita on the side. These people hate their job and take it out on the customers. Hire better people and fire the bad ones. read more
