    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    This is the 2nd time I came here hoping for better service and they charged me $16 for this tiny bowl. Management needs to either train their employees on proper portions or lower the cost!! This is absolutely ridiculous.

It took like 20 min before they ordered drinks and 30 min plus before drinks were delivered! Crazy right? The first visit I got the burger and fries and it was delicious. The second time I got a steak medium well and loaded baked potato and the potato was very dry (like an older potato that was on its way out) and although I loved the overall flavor of the steak I had to eat around the edges only and avoided the center because not only wasn't it medium w no pink it was red! Also it had gristle and fat. For $44 it was a waste of good meat and I'm not one to ask a cook to throw it back in the grill when they should know how to produce different levels of cooked steak. The ambiance is a chill dim lit vibe and easy for conversations so that was great! The bathrooms are clean and smell good. Great mirror lighting too. But the front layout is odd, the hostess stand is right there so everyone crams in front of door and there's no barrier to the first large table so you're like staring at the poor people eating at that first long table lol! I think they need to switch up the entry layout and put up a half wall or decorative situation to tuck away that table a bit too. Just my two cents. Overall, I'd go again but it would be really nice if management saw this and trained staff on how to greet table sooner, take drink orders, and deliver said drinks timely for a more pleasant dining experience.

My guess is that your spec is al dente which is more crunchy than fork tender. If that is truly how it is to be presented, I will bypass the roasted veggies in the future. Like I said it was my very first time doing a Yelp review and ever ordering from the original Chop Shop. Also FYI my name is Amalia, not Amelia. Thanks for the response. I ordered thru door dash the spicy Korean bowl with roasted veggies and sweet potatoes. 2/3 of the bowl was obnoxious pieces of broccoli that were basically raw. I pulled out 99% of the broccoli and I was left with very little to enjoy. The beef was very tender and flavorful and the sauce was amazing with the sweet potatoes. Just disappointing about the roasted veggies because I believe there was some kale in there and some matchstick carrots but the ratio was uneven and the broccoli was inedible. Just passing it along as someone who's worked in the food service industry for over 40 years. . I have never liked Yelp because people abuse it. I'm just leaving constructive criticism.
