Tried CAVA and overall it was really good. Fresh ingredients, tasty bowls, and quick service. Only downside is it gets busy and portions can vary a bit, but still a solid healthy spot. read more

I've been ordering takeout from both Phoenix locations and the taste is decent, tho a little overpriced. My issue is with the service - every other time they mess up my order and since I do takeout I only discover it at home when changes can't be made. I usually order custom bowls and they're almost never accurate. At least 2-3 of my selections are missing and some random ingredients are added that I didn't order. You need to train your staff better. read more

Cava is totally overpriced.. The little scoop of meat protein that they put in your bowl, doesn't add up to the cost. They've been doing this from the beginning no shrink inflation here but they'll start that soon. I'm pretty sure.. I honestly like some of the flavors, but the meat is always sitting in some kind of bin all cold scooped out with something that looks like some kind of scoop that looks between an ice cream scoop and a teaspoon. The portions are horrendous for the price! Everybody's doing the posh clean eating thing but getting gouged at the cash register. I'm usually always on the fence with this place. Getting ready to jump to one side or the other. Would you like to pay $18 for a bowl of rice with a garnish of meat and a bunch of other fluff .......Have added it. read more

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 read more

CAVA - Chicken + Rice with Classic Pita Chips - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time trying cava and had it doordashed. They forgot an entire meal and pieces of the other one. When trying to call the restaurant to see if they had the phone was ringing for 5 minutes until no one answered. It being busy is no excuse, you're a chain restaurant, figure it out. Also chipotle was way better for more food. read more

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! read more

CAVA - Steak + Feta - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered via Uber Eats this evening and was extremely disappointed by the quality of food and overall lack of quality control. My bowl was missing literally ALL of the veggies, save 2 limp tomatoes and 3 little slices of cucumber. No broccoli, no corn, no onion, no cabbage, no olives, etc. Also the falafel was extremely overcooked and gross. I essentially just paid $15 for rice and dried falafel. Save your money and get the ingredients for this trash on your own. read more

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! read more

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. read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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 :) read more

Customer service is terrible. I don't think I would ever go back to this location. I love their food, just not at this location.

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. read more

Nothing but smiles and amazing customer service.. I highly recommend hands-down. Best flavors best food best customer service ever.!!!! read more

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. read more

Can't speak much to the ambiance as this was a pickup order, but I cannot wait until more of these pop up in CA. I was in Phoenix on business and this spot had me in an absolute chokehold. Reasonable, healthy, and solid portions -- really hard to beat for the value. read more

Ordered DoorDash from here tn and they called me to tell me they didn't have steak. I replaced it with chicken and they then didn't put all the other ingredients I asked for. No sauces, dipping or veggies???? And they forgot my avocado too? read more

CAVA is a joke. The protein portion is embarrassingly small, like they're afraid to give you food. The rice was so stale it literally crunched when I bit into it. That's not "fresh" -- that's unacceptable. On top of that, the staff will upcharge you for absolutely everything like it's a scam. Overpriced, low quality, and zero care. Won't be back. read more

I came here with my teenager the server chose to give me quite less than my teen. Being the same price it wasn't her choice to schools how much I could eat. Wont return here. read more

Food and service were delicious. We did pay $8 more dollar than our last visit ordering the same food, so I need to call and see what was up. Been so busy. It was a treat not having to cook. Our meals were so delicious amd filling. The bathroom hall was a bit stinky. I told my husband to ask for the to unlock the restrooms as they are for customers only. He decided to pass due to the smell. We will be back. The food is so good and guilt free. read more

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. read more

I placed a pickup order during lunch hours. The ease of ordering online and pickup was a breeze. The dish that I ordered was spicy greens, and I settled for a strawberry citrus juice. It was amazing without the guilt trip. Healthy eating at its best. No regrets. Lol. I will be a frequent patron of Cava! read more

This place is a mess. They're constantly out of ingredients. 80% of the employees are rude and are offended that customers want to speak to them. Unfortunately, I like the taste of the food here but the service is horrendous. I'm always in a bad mood after leaving because the employees are awful and don't communicate. They tried to get new management, but this doesn't fix the problem. Long lines, horrible service, and ingredients thrown all over the place. No quality control whatsoever. Don't waste your money on a restaurant that doesn't care about their customers. read more

Fast casual restaurant near the biltmore area. We stopped in on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. To be fair I probably should've looked over the menu a little more before ordering and put too many things in my bowl so the flavors got muddled. But I will know for next time. read more

There was multiple mistakes to my order. I ordered a spicy lamb + Avocado. The lady forgot to add the Avocado. She also added the toppings to the wrong bowl, mind you I ordered two different bowls. I didn't sweat it, I just told her to add the same topping to the other bowl. I wasn't the type of person to tell her to make a new one. The food was bland and the pineapple mint drink was watered down. read more

Cava is exactly like the fast food sub places, but Mediterranean. You either go with a curated bowl or build your own. This store has really turned their customer service game up to a ten! It wasn't always like this here. They had a crew who didn't feel customer service was their responsibility. I am glad I did not give up on this store! They always have non-meat options it you want a vegetarian or vegan bowl. Tons of delicious individual ingredients that will make a great bowl to your liking! The dining area is always clean! You pick up after yourself when you're done. You also have food delivery options. read more

My second time trying out CAVA and it was not a bad experience. The only disappointment I had was that they ran out of base lettuce I wanted however I tried something different. Overall, you cannot go wrong with building your own bowl, which is what I did. The food was great and delicious! Loved how healthy the bowl was and how satisfied I was. The employees were attentive, a little lack of enthusiasm but it's alright. Overall the place was clean and well stocked up. Will be returning to this location if I am around the area. read more

Love this spot for a quick healthy meal and always tell people to check it out. Today I tried the braised lamb and was pleasantly surprised. I love the honey harissa chicken as well. Ambiance is casual and I tell people it's like a Mediterranean chipotle and outside of the food the vibe is the same. read more

I will ot be coming back my meal was 24 dollars. Servers were not friendly, they were understaffed read more

Cava is super delish & healthy, but a little more pricey than I expected (12 for lunch). Zoe's (the previous Mediterranean food in this spot) charged lower prices. Annnnnnyway...I chose the Greek Salad Bowl, which was chockful of so many good-for-you ingredients: grilled chicken, English cucumbers, arugula, feta, & more. The chicken is bathed in seasoning - enjoyed the flavor but would appreciate less so I could tell it IS chicken & chicken that is fresh (anyone who's ever gotten food poisoning from chicken may relate to this!) Overall I'm stoked that they're open & that they offer nutrient-dense meals. I've been a few times now & all excellent experiences. read more

If I lived up the street, I'd be here daily. Excellent good, great quality, clean establishment, friendly staff. I could go on and on. I made my own bowl with super greens(kale,cabbage, Brussels sprouts) rice, white roasted sweet potatoes, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, harissa chicken, cucumber/tomato, avocado, pita strips, just a whole bunch of greatness. They were out of pickled red onion and olives, which both happen to be my favorites so that's the only reason for four stars. Otherwise, definitely worth coming back to. Oh and the pita chips...I had to put the bag in the backseat to save some for when I got home. Next time I'll get two orders. And I thought I took a picture of my bowl but guess not. Sorry read more
