Chicken + Rice with Classic Pita Chips
Marjaya C.

Anytime we go to Phoenix we stop by Cava.. wish they had one in Tucson. Every visit has been positive.. the food is always good and the workers are very helpful.. the restaurant is clean.. I'd definitely would go back.. every time

Steak + Feta
Ramon A.

First time trying Cava, and doing so on a whim, seeing that I was in close proximity. I've heard the hype so I decided to try, and I must say is everything that "they" say it is! I tried the Steak and Feta Pita. OMG are my final words! Talk about a flavor bomb?!? This is it! Can't wait to try the various bowls and other tasty and healthy dishes they offer!

Kamron A.

This is a great casual Mediterranean meal! Food is fresh and great selection! Healthy and delicious! Win win! Service has been excellent everytime I've gone!

We generally love cava. We started coming here instead of chipotle ever since we heard about it. The workers we encountered were pretty rude and definitely don't make you feel welcomed. Not sure if it's just this location but this is the first and last time we ever order cava to go. I mean just look at the portion size....there was hardly any rice or chicken.

Lots of false advertising here. Their bowls show that they are full or close to full when in reality they are less than 1/3 full. The service is very slow, when there is a line out the door there are 2-3 employees just standing around in the prep kitchen and one person is making all the bowls one by one and checking people out. Also they never have avocado in stock despite being right by a grocery store. Here is my bowl barely 1/3 full and that's the "extra rice" added on top when I mentioned it didn't look like the chicken and rice bowl as advertised.

First time at cava. Out of towner. I'll start w I wish we had them in Washington state. If you've never been think of the "chipotle" model of fast food for Mediterranean food. Food was flavorful and fresh. You can smell the deliciousness as soon as you walk in. Select your base: grains, rice or greens (or a combo). Then you can add toppings like roasted egg plant, red pepper hummus or traditional hummus (there are more but that's what I ordered). Then your selection of meats from chicken to beef and upgrades like lamb meat balls or braised lamb(my choice and I was right to pick it - tender and juicy and immersed in flavah). Then veggie toppings like roasted corn or Persian cukes and cabbage. Lastly a plethora of dressings. I had the lemon tahini. Served w a side of carrots (why) or pita slices (give me more). This is a nutrient dense bowl. And fed me twice. As a person w food allergies I was really pleased to see ingredients listed on the glass as you go thru the line. Then I was able to ask if I had other questions and the staff actually knew. But the service left a lot to be desired. Customer service like in most places, is dead. Kids w long droop faces. No one smiles. They scoop and dish you up. No hi, how can I help you or thanks for coming. I guess it's not a fancy place and it's post Covid attitude everywhere. So don't go for the smile or service but go for the bowl.

CAVA hype is so real! Dinner rush caused a long line to form, but service was also relatively slow. This location seemed to be a little understaffed. I recommend building your own bowl to optimize all the flavors! Crazy Feta and Tzatziki are definitely a must to make the bowl creamy. Saffron rice texture was perfect and the Grilled Chicken was tender. I'll be back :)

Pineapple mint
Amy R.

Tried this place out and I am very happy I did. This place is like the Mediterranean chipotle. We had the make your own bowls there are so many options. Just as a warning the harissa honey chicken is Spicy!! More spicy than honey. The drinks are also really good! I loved the pineapple mint! They are like a agua fresca. The staff was also super nice!

Harissa chicken shawarma
Brandie C.

Omg!! Super delicious food! I had the harissa chicken in a Shawarma! They let me taste it before I got it because this was my first time to this place. Customer service was on point from the time I walked in to the place. Everything was nice, neat, clean and smell really good inside. I came just in time because it got busy right after I was ordering. I was kind of nervous because this was my first time like us that however a lot of the reviews were based on customer service so I was like why not?! I'mma give it a go. I'm so glad I did. If you're in the area stop by and get you something because it's so good And the service I received was on point like I said. The only thing that I will give it a minus * for... I asked if any of the toppings had mint because of an Allergy and the nice young lady said she didn't know. She could've asked But anyway I'm not gonna let that be a bad review. I will definitely return here. And I wanna know if they bottle the harissa sauce? It's really really really good. Thanks Cava!!

I stopped by Cava to pick up dinner after getting my car fixed in the area. I got half lamb and half steak with all the toppings and garlic sauce, along with an order of pita chips. The pita chips were definitely the standout. The bowl was delicious, although a little bit salty for my taste. This Mediterranean-style Chipotle I've been hearing about is quite delicious. The service was really nice, and even though the restaurant was busy during dinner time, everyone was able to get in and out in a timely manner. I will definitely return.

I was thoroughly impressed by CAVA. Similar to Chipotle, this fast food restaurant offers healthy alternatives to something else you may get on the go. I was surprised by how much food I could get for about $11 or $12 dollars. I felt super full after eating my bowl. I ordered the Falafel Crunch. It was super rich with the flavors of hummus, fresh vegetables, falafel, and plenty of spices intertwined together. I think this meal could be eaten right away or the next day and you couldn't tell a difference. It is great as is right at the restaurant or out of the fridge. Parking was pretty easy here with the big parking lot between the strip mall and CAVA. There is only counter-service available so I think this spot is a good option if you're not in a big hurry.

The staff are wonderfully friendly from the moment you walk in, and the food itself is fresh-tasting, generously portioned, and very fairly priced.

To top it off, the staff surprised us with a complimentary baklava dessert, three generously sized triangles, flaky and sweet and absolutely delicious.

My friend order the chicken....I've never seen or tasted drier chicken....we jokingly called it Chicken Chips. Should have returned it but didn't. They must have known as they were plating? Ate very little.... I ordered the lamb kabob....it was ok but pretty bland, looked like processed little meat balls. . Service was good and friendly, no owner on site. In past visits I loved their Asobuco but none was on the menu. That's what I wanted to order. There was free baklava ....wasn't looking for free....went up to the counter to order some. Then was given two out of a bunch of stacked containers behind the register. If I hadn't inquired wouldn't have known. In past visits they always walked around with a tray and offered. This was dry as well..... I do appreciate free but not dry. I was willing to pay. I probably caught them on an off night, business was good which is always a good sign. I'll give them another shot but won't order the Chicken Chips.

Olive & Ivy looked promising, but the actual experience was even better than I imagined. First of all, this is a fantastic place with a great atmosphere. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or dining by yourself, it's a place where you can feel comfortable and enjoy a great meal. I was seated at the very nice and comfortable bar area, where the bartenders were fantastic, attentive, and ready to accommodate any request. The little bruschettas were a great way to start the meal. I followed them with a salad, they even accommodated a half portion for me. Then I finished with the short rib. Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. I honestly expected this place to be more expensive, but the prices were extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. You can definitely expect to see me back here the next time I'm in town! Thank you for providing such a great experience. Keep up the excellent work!

A true gem in the Valley. I visited the Persian Room for the first time with visiting family, and…read morewe were amazed. Firstly, the interior is GRAND - in size and extravagance. Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too. I noticed the crowd was mostly older, which lets you know this restaurant is a true staple in the community (I find that usually the old people know what's up). As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

Her lamb shank was so fatty, there was barely any meat. The sauce it comes it wasn't hot - it was sort of warm, and she said the flavor wasn't there. My rack of lamb was ok, cooked to rare just how I wanted it, but it too, had a lot of sinew for little meat lollipops. My rice was also room temp, which could be fine, but seemed a bit odd to me. Thankfully this was a business meal, but we would have been both extremely disappointed had it come from our own pockets. Given all the five star reviews, I want to think this was a really off night. Wouldn't be my first choice next time, but I could go back and give it another shot.

I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

I ordered the kabob koobideh plate for $16 to go and browsed the store. I bought some spices including shawarma mix, tumeric, star anise seeds for about $4 each per bag (I forgot the volume of the bags, but they're about the size of my fist). I ate my food in the car since I couldn't wait until after finishing my errands. Wow, the meat was so juicy and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the white sauce (which I think was a yogurt salad?). My biggest complaint was the fact that 70% of the to-go container was rice and 30% was meat. Then a container of the yogurt on the side. If I come back, I'd probably opt for the kabob koobideh sandwich option instead, as it is less than half the cost. Otherwise, I loved the authentic food and would consider going back - probably more so for the spices though.
