Tried cava for the first time and I was blown away! This kind of freshness and flavor reminds me of how chipotle used to be! Cava has a great selection of veggies , their pickled onions were delicious! Reasonably priced and this location was clean with friendly workers! read more

CAVA - Chicken bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Novi, Michigan

This was a delicious bowl! We have wanted to try this place since we heard they were coming to Michigan. I wanted to try this place, especially since I saw so many people eating those crispy pita chips online, for awhile now. Now, there is not anything so spectacular or different about Cava. We do have many Middle Eastern bowl places that we already frequent, but I did enjoy what they had to offer. This place was fairly busy for an early Saturday night dinner. They also were out of several items, probably because it is new and so many want to try it. The people working here were okay. They were nice and helpful, but their vibe was off, like they did not totally want to work here and I felt a bit rushed. Also, the restrooms were very dirty and not kept up, but still, this place gets a four. We tried two bowl and a wrap, plus the sour cream pita chips and their unique drinks. I loved their drinks. It reminded me of when Panera had interesting teas and lemonades before they seemed to take it all away. I loved their blueberry lavender lemonade with half plain lemonade. I loved their diet Mexican cola as well. Honestly, if they continue the drink lineup, I could see myself stopping in just for a drink order to go. Their pita chips were worth it! I should have bought a few orders instead of just one to snack on later. My daughter got the braised lamb wrap and added potatoes and avocado. I feel like it should have come with half lamb and half potato without that upcharge, but the lamb was so fall off the bone tender. I could see myself getting the lamb in a bowl in the future. I got the Harissa chicken and potato bowl with rice and lentils. I loved the veggies, they reminded me of the trendy viral savory dinner people are making with the pickled onions and tomatoes. I loved all of the sauces, I got Harissa sauce, crazy feta, and eggplant, then zhug dressing and garlic dressing. It was all delicious and lasted two meals for me. I hope they work out the bugs and get in more food, we wanted the lamb meatballs and some of the missing dressings, but I do want to come back soon to try more, or even just eat the same bowl again. read more

The C location took over the old Boston Market. The space inside looked had the same set up but the decor was simple, had a lot of great natural light coming in from almost all sides of the restaurant, with two separate entrances/exits. We arrived around 1:45 pm and surprised the line was to the far door. The line moved a bit slow for how many staff there were, so we didn't think it would take that long but by the time we paid for our food and out the door (to go orders), we realized it took about 45 minutes. I must say, C does live up to the hype. I was worried after seeing people post about the portion size, but I was really happy with my choice- the Greek salad with steak. My hubs ordered the sweet potato bowl but they had ran out of that and something else that was supposed to go in his bowl. Other than the long wait and being out of a few things, the food was really good. We agreed C is a better option and place compared to Chipotle. I'm hopefully since this location is still fairly new, that it'll run a bit quicker. But if you are on a time crunch, it might be worth it to download the app and place an order online. read more

If I could give this place 7 stars I would. The line was long but moved fast. The recommendations of meats and dressings from the staff made a superb delicious chicken bowl. The feel of the restaurant was light and friendly. My bowl was so good that I will back very soon . This was my first experience at Cava and it was fabulous. Keep up the good work !! read more

I believe this used to be Boston Market location years ago. It's nice to see a business open up in the empty lot. Cava is a fast casual middle eastern restaurant. We ordered two bowls, one chicken and rice and one garlicky chicken shawarma. $24.15 The chicken and rice had a good amount of rice and arugula as its base, liked the arugula, gives it more bite. The chicken pieces and other items were a rationed amount for both of our bowls. Not sure of the amount would be more generous had we gotten some add ons or a build our own bowl instead. The feta were small crumbles and a tad sparse for my husband's chicken and rice. The hummus and tzatziki are small portions, melon baller maybe. The bowls aren't super deep and an average size. Chicken isn't too dry. Pickled onions are good as well. Might be good to add harissa to our bowls next time for a bit more kick and flavor. My husband prefers Chopped down the street with their add-on options. I prefer Pita Way. read more

On a recent trip to Michigan, stopped in for lunch with the nephews at this newly opened location. Somewhat typical pick your own fast food options restaurant.

This was my first time here, and Tisa made my bowl, she was the best!! 10/10 experience

I come to CAVA almost everyday and my experience is always amazing. Mona is honestly the best and makes every experience worth coming back. It's never a bad moment in CAVA in canton and CAVA in Novi. Thank yall!! read more

I have been to CAVA outside of Michigan and was really excited when they opened one here. I was even more excited when they opened one closer to my home so I went to go try it out! This place needs to close and revamp then open again. This was not the CAVA I know. You are allowed unlimited topping but they acted like they didn't want to give you any. When I asked for extra rice, the worker had a huge attitude towards me. When I asked for my tzatziki sauce on the side, he gave me a teaspoon full in a container. The chicken shawarma was actually decent at this location. That's the only good thing. The lemonades all tasted like water. None of them had any taste to them at all. Just food color water. I asked a worker to clean a bathroom because it was messy and they seemed to have an issue with it. I'm so disappointed in this location and hope they fix a lot of issues others are stating. I hate leaving a review like this, but man they need to fix it. read more

I thought i was crazy, but looking at the other previous reviews, the portions for this place are so small for what you pay. Attached to this review is my chicken shawarma bowl that maybe had 10 small chicken slices, 2 falafel balls, and small portions of everything else. There's good flavor to it but I'd rather do pita way (a similar chain) or Mr. Kabob Express in the royal oak area. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Novi, Michigan

CAVA took over the former Boston Market space. I placed an order via the app and selected my pickup time. Very convenient. There are designated 10 minute pick up parking spots right in front but I parked in the back to get some steps. Since the place is brand new, it was very clean and sparkly. There is a pick up area to the left when you walk inside. On the app, you can select if you want a bag and silverware. I ordered one bowl and it came in a giant bag. The grain bowl that I ordered was good but the portion was small. Maybe it's because several of the items I selected did not make it into my bowl but I didn't want to drive back. Ugh. It was about $12. There was also an option to select a free pita. read more

I got a chicken and rice bowl and I love the flavor profile! The pita chips are AMAZING. I will be returning for a quick and yummy dinner!

Absolutely delicious. I had the Avocado Burrito. The food is definitely authentic. Sercice was amazing and very personable. The inside was very clean and inviting as well. If you want some good authentic Mexican good this is the place to go. read more

Walked in to place an order. A lot of the staff standing around chitchatting no one even greeted us. They finally decided to wait on us- they were out of everything and I do mean everything. The guy at the counter thought it was funny. How are you out of food? Everybody is leaving. Go down the street to Pitaway or Chopped Olive. read more

TERRIBLE. Workers are lazy and slow. huge line and taking their sweet time. Out of stock for essential items. HOW ARE YOU OUT OF STOCK OF ROMAINE LETTUCE. Completely unacceptable. Workers are rude, lazy and incompetent. First time trying this, Cava please fix it. read more

It will be faster and about the same price to have a sit down meal in one of the many Mediterranean restaurants in the region. Just painfully slow. read more

Food is amazing as always. Service was even better! DJ at the register was very kind and Zachary behind the counter went above and beyond because he wanted me to have the freshest black lentils I could have :D We went on a very busy night but got our food promptly. Will be back! Love the food and service at Novi location read more

The service was strange. The people in front of us and behind us got their bowls filled to the top, while we did not, barely got anything. I do not know if it is because of the color of my skin, but it was very weird. The staring at us as we were completing our order, all of it just very weird. Wouldn't order from this place again, the one in Canton is better. read more

Food was well cooked I enjoyed every last bit Of it, we'll recomended, the chefs won't disappoint you at all

Mediterranean-ish quick food. And...delicious, but not filling, unless you over do it. You step into the line and tell the server what you want in your bowl or pita. There are rices, lentils, mixed greens for the base. There are a host of spreads and dips; harissa (very tasty), hummus, baba, and another style of eggplant, etc.. There are variations of lamb, chicken, and a really good falafel. The spicy, grilled chicken is my favorite. They should drain the fat off the lamb, so that it doesn't have that greasy lamb fat flavor and add more spice. There are so many topping selections like; sumac slaw, tomato and red onion, cucumbers, olives, feta, pickled red onions, etc.. I haven't named them all. Service is excellent. Staff is well-informed and trained. They are very helpful. The dining area is clean and comfortable, but very minimalist. I discovered this (Chipotle) style restaurant in Maryland, years ago and I really liked the food. I feel healthy when I eat there. I am glad they finally made it up here. This particular location did not disappoint. read more

I haven't eaten here but I applied for a job here in a October and did an interview in october. The interviewer said they would hire me when they had slots available. Today I got a rejection mail that lied and said I never attended my interview and when I messaged the person who interviewed me - I got no response after 30 hours. Very shady company. Would not work or eat here. read more
