    Chicken + Rice
    chris k.

    Absolutely my favorite place, always good. Love there bowls. Everything is always fresh and tastes great. Service is great as well always in and out fast. Plenty of inside seating.

    So not sure what's been going on but we used to love coming to Cava for its freshness and delicious flavors! BUT the past few times, around 2/3 months, the quality has drastically changed, the lettuce is always 'just ok' with some red sections, the rice is stuck together and at times over cooked or soggy and the chicken has lots of fat or burned pieces. Not sure if it's careless or supply has been coming in in poor quality, but they aren't good changes in any way

    Hot Harissa Pita Chips

    This is literally the slowest Cava I have been to in my entire life. The only thing saving the review is the food of course because Cava always delivers in that category. I truly don't even know why it was so slow ... and when I say slow I mean a good 20 minutes on line before my order being taken. There were people on line trying to order on the app to see if it would've been quicker. I will probably not visit this location again bc time is money and I can't give them both!

    If you haven't tried the GREENS + GRAINS BOWL at Cava, you're seriously missing out! I love how customizable it is; you can mix and match your favorite greens and grains to create a bowl that's perfect for your taste. My go-to combo is the shredded lamb and blackened chicken topped with all the fixings--because why not go all out? Cava truly embodies its mission to bring heart, health, and humanity to food. They focus on serving delicious Mediterranean and Greek meals that help everyone eat well and live well while caring for the earth and the people who cultivate it. Plus, the atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, making it a great spot for friends and family. If you're in the area, swing by!

    I stopped by Cava on a weekday noon to get a bowl for lunch. Luckily there was no line, store was relatively less busy. I got to start my orderr right away. All the ingredients were available. Got my favorite braised lamb with lots of toppings and sauces. Service was excellent, I was done paying and walked out in minutes. The store was clean and condiments section was well stocked. I started eating from the bowl an hour later. Yet all ingredients tasted so good. Just love the flavor all of their ingredients bring it. The skhug is such a unique sauce, I can't get enough of it.

    Have absolutely nothing bad to say about Cava, the Mediterrean Chipotle so to speak for fast food dining. Been to many Cava locations but this one is among my favorite. Always a generous helping of animal protein here whereas they skimp out on most locations. I went with my classic choice the harissa but opted for a lamb option myself. Love that their is diverse animal proteins options here. I paired it with fried pita chips and of course all of the vegetable add ons (pickled onions, cucumbers. Corn, and much more). Service could be a little faster, but I noticed most Cava locations are just like that. It can be a bit slow as you move across the service line. But still recommend!

    Why this place was so busy at 2pm, I'll never know. Is the food that good? I won't know that either. When I came inside the line was wrapped around and started near the entrance. I didn't have enough patience to wait so I had to leave. I noticed seating inside but the space seemed pretty tight.

    I've been going here at least once a week for the past month -- I guess you could call me an addict at this point... Service and food quality has been consistent *chef's kiss* I'm a creature of habit, so I always get the same ingredients in my custom bowl: Base - brown rice Dips - roasted eggplant (the BEST), spicy feta, tzatiki Protein - grilled chicken Toppings - pita crisps, feta, cucumber, pickled onion, olives, tomato, cabbage slaw, romaine Sauce - greek vinaigrette Their drink refreshers are also very good and not overly sweet. Try the pineapple apple mint or the classic lemonade. Sadly, they got rid of the limited time garlic ranch pita chips :-( Hopefully they'll make another comeback in the future.

    Sat 12pm for lunch. SUPER BUSY and LONG LINE! Great staff. Very efficient. The line is moving pretty quickly. Self service table so it could get a little messy. Food is good. I like their hummus, grilled chicken and fried pita.

    Incredible kids meal. Half a pita with 2 falafels, lentils, dip, chips, and a drink for less than $7!
    Monica D.

    Picked up a kid's pita meal for a little one I was with and was shocked at how much delicious, healthy food was it this portion for less than $8! Their other full sized selections are also wonderful however I did not get any that day.

    Beware of this  young lady if you would have to simply ask for an order or help her with her job.

    I came in here at 1pm March 3 to pickup an order for my sick partner. The store was not busy. There were more than customers. I walked to the counter gave them the order name than mentioned the items to Bebo out locating it. I didn't get her name but this particular young lady rolled her eyes, was dismissive & walked away. She didn't tell me if my order wasn't prepared or anything. I simply walked to the side & waited because she was clearly bothered. I tried to get someone on the phone after the incident. No one ever answers the phone line neither. Beware of this business for they only want your money & clearly have an agenda. I try to give businesses & people the benefit of the doubt but lack of accountability speaks volumes to corporate businesses like this. Support local independent businesses beware of these People places & things

    While doing some after Christmas shopping at the Bergen mall we decided to go to Cava for lunch. We have tried to go before but the line is always so long. When we arrived around 12:30 the line was almost to the door. We started to wait and then we thought let's see if they have an app, which they did. We ordered and it said it would be ready in 20 mins. This was fine with us, we got off line and went and did some shopping. It was ready when we returned and in the pick up area. We spilt the rice and chicken bowl which was really tasty. I couldn't figure out how to custom on the app but I was happy with the toppings. It was large so I am happy we spilt it. We definitely will be returning again and using the app.

    I think one of my new favorite spot for Mediterranean inspired foods. I love that they label which ones are vegan friendly. The line can be long at times but it moves fairly quick. I always order mine with extra corn and of course the garlic sauce on top.

    See all

    Is there menu gluten free/ dairy free?

    No. Their entire menu is not gluten and dairy free but they have some options.

    Where in the mall is this place/how do i get there?? Spent a good 5-10 mins walking around looking for it. I found 2 signs split by a hallway, the sign to the left says Cava's to the left and the sign on the right says Cava's to the right. DAFUG?

    The entrance is outside the building. You'll need to exit the mall.

I ordered their lunch combo - half a chicken california club sandwich and a side salad. Their Caesar salad was okay, pretty standard bottled dressing and actually nice croutons. The sandwich was also okay, there was not as much chicken as I would've liked, but the avocado was fresh and so was the bread. It did take a while for us to be able to get the bill. Our server didn't check back on us after we got out food and we weren't able to call him over, as he never looked our way, so we had to signal another server to get a to-go container and the check. Overall, the experience was fairly average but definitely a good choice for lunch, especially if you do their combo, since it's pretty affordable and filling enough.

This reminds of a low-end Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace, which I like a lot better. The vegetables look good at this place ( I bought some) but the prepared food I tried was awful.

I made potato salad for the first time this year and it came out 1,000 times better. Besides this the store layout is a little maze-like. Had the New Jersey article not touted this marketplace as some place I can spend all day and get lost in, I probably would have rated this 3 stars. Nevertheless, it does not live up to the hype for me. I live many miles away from here but even if it were in my town, I would barely frequent it it or just stop by for the vegetables. Their organic scallions were the best, however, so that gets 5 stars. Everything else was mediocre.
