    Ingredients in my build your own grain bowl
    Brianna V.

    I decided to give this place a try because there aren't many Mediterranean places around. I ordered online and they texted me updates about my order. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The restaurant was spacious and looked clean. I ordered a build your own grains bowl with grilled chicken. The bowl also came with a free pita bread. At first I was a little disappointed about the bowl not being filled all the way, but it was still pretty satisfying. The toppings and dressing in my bowl were very flavorful and the harissa had a good spice. I would go back and try something different.

    I got to try the new salmon salad and loved it! The new strawberry dressing was also amazing! I just wished their seating was more comfortable that's all. Love the fast service.

    Blueberry lavender drink

    Thought I would tryout the new cava restaurant for lunch today. Located in Newington the Berlin turnpike cava is a Mediterranean restaurant serving bowls and pitas . I ordered the harissa avacado bowl which had the harissa honey chicken , feta , avacado, pickled onions, hummus, fire roasted corn , rice , supergreens and harissa vinaigrette. The harissa flavour is a little spicy ( just a little kick to add flavour ) All the ingredients were fresh and delicious I enjoyed the bowl ! Perfect for a healthy lunch ! The portions were large , I ended up eating about half and saving the rest for later . I also got the blue berry lavender drink, which was really good. However the lavender flavour was strong overpowering the blueberry flavour in my opinion. Overall highly recommend, I will be back to try the chicken and rice bowl next

    Grilled Chicken + Rice - A mixed salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, corn, and greens, accompanied by a piece of flatbread and a small cup of red sauce.

    Amazing place way better than chipotle in my opinion. Meat is never dry. Different type of toppings. Love the prices. Live how full the bowls are. Staff is always so friendly. Only thing is they should try to clean the line more so there's not a lot of rice and lettuce all over it does not look good to customers especially when we have to see all that when ordering. Clean as you go.

    Galinda dessert - A dessert plate holds two slices of layered cake with pink and white frosting, garnished with powdered sugar and a drizzle of sauce.

    Once again Christmas overload did not disappoint! Switched over from the wizard of oz but they kept the wizard in the room with Christmas spirit Once reservations are made make sure entire party is ready to order at once- the order goes in and can't be changed Save room for dessert- they kept the Glinda dessert on the menu!

    Falafel wrap
    Jason P.

    I've eaten at recently opened Cava a couple of times now. It's a Mediterranean fast casual. I've had a falafel wrap that was full of tasty sauces, pickles, and veggies. It was very drippy, but super tasty. I've also had a Harissa avocado bowl with chicken. It was maybe a touch spicy for me, but again, It was full of flavor and a step up from most casual chains. The mint lemonade was very tasty too. I live nearby and Cava is firmly in our take out plans now. Four Stars

    Chicken rice bowl and Jasmine iced tea
    Kathy W.

    Cava follows the Chipotle concept, with 'chef curated' options, or you can create your own bowl or pita. We tried the chicken rice bowl, spicy lamb meatballs, and steak mezze salad. Everything was fresh and had a kick of flavor. You can further customize with sauces, hummus, etc. We had a bit of a wait; seems there might have been a shift change, plus there was an issue with the cash register. Still, we enjoyed our healthy meals and the relaxed, upbeat vibe.

    Who doesn't love a build your own Mediterranean dish spot?!? I built my own bowl with splendid greens and lentils as the base then added in grilled steak, plus a bunch of toppings. Just be careful although it may seem healthy, things can add up quickly. If you're someone counting your macros I'd suggest ordering through their website. Although I ordered for a 5pm pickup and they weren't done with my order til almost 5:15p. Ambiance is so so, but it is fast food. I'll def return again.

    Grain bowl with grilled chicken.  Tye hit honey chicken is also very good. - A disposable bowl contains a grain bowl with grilled chicken, rice, corn, lettuce, pickled onions, and drizzled sauces, with a fork.

    We tried this new place in town tonight. We all enjoyed our meals very much and decided we will def order from there again. I don't know about the ambiance because we ordered delivery but our order was correct, hot and delicious. We ordered the grain bowls, basmati rice, grilled chicken,pickled onions, fiery broccoli, Grilled corn, tzatziki sauce, harissa, shredded lettuce, .... You get to choose basmati, brown rice, or black beans. Or half n half. 2 sauces, 12 or so toppings, a full order of protein or two half orders. Very customizable and very good. They do have pita sandwiches. Which we will try next time. The falafels are very good. We also ordered some house made pita chips with a side of regular hummus. Hopefully they will continue to keep up the great job! Def recommend.

    Build your own bowl
    Sam B.

    Upon entering in we were greeted by staff. Inside was very clean. Our order was ready early when we got there. Overall, very delicious. Ingredients were super fresh and everything was very flavorful. HOWEVER, the bowl was not super big or filling, which was very disappointing considering it was $15. Not sure if I would return because of this.

    Cucumber Lime Mint Drink
    Elisa F.

    Our area's first Cava! We went for dinner on a Tuesday and it's the second full week open. I've never been to a Cava before so I don't have anything to compare to service wise, but they seemed to know what they're doing - and it was a lot smoother than recent Chipotle visits (the only thing I can compare to). I got the Steak Mezze Salad and I LOVED IT. I like how you can create your own (Chipotle Style) or get one of their selected menu items like what I ordered. We had to wait a couple minutes for them to make more steak, but it was a quick and they had about 10+ people working (again, compared to the like 3 usually working at Chipotle). Their house made drinks also blew me away! I loved the Cucumber Mint Lime and could have drank a gallon of that. We will DEFINITELY be back. As a Chipotle obsessed junkie........ Chipotle who?

    Lamb meat balls and falafel bowl
    Renee A.

    This was our first time and it was a bit overwhelming. There are so many choices. The bowls we picked were very flavorful! I had the chicken and rice, my DH got the lamb meat balls and falafel. He would have liked more of both. But the flavors were still good! I think that we need to go back and explore the menu some more!

You'll get to try a wide assortment of the menu and it really serves as a fantastic method to savor the different flavors available to you at this restaurant. I've done it with just one other diner and not been upset. The feast includes a ton of appetizers, a few mains, and desserts. If you're going in for lunch, I suggest the mixed grill plates. Although I usually enjoy beef and lamb, and those are fine, I think the salmon with pomegranate really shines. I'd strongly recommend it for lunch. All of the cocktails I've had here have been nothing short of at least solid. They are inventive enough without going overboard. Service has always been stellar as well, and they were even accommodating of my dog on one visit. Overall, this is the best restaurant in West Hartford by a fairly wide margin.
