Dania and Tania are the twins that took care of my mom and I. I order the fish and steak bowl with the pita chips and my food was sooo delicious. I don't usually eat fish but this fish was pretty good. I love how healthy the food is here. The price was decent and the place was very clean. I will definitely go back to this place.

Pita - build your own
Marcy Y.

Finally tried the Sunrise/plantation location of cava the closest South Florida Cabo location near me. Ironically, it's in the same plaza as Chipotle and follows a very similar service/hospitality pattern that is, customers make a line and build their bowl or pita, and then pay at the register and take their bowl to go or dining in. It is a healthier fast food type of option, and I think a little bit healthier than chipotle. I like their vast options of green/veggies. That can be added to your entrée. One small critique that I would make at this location is that they took a long time to get through the line and by the time I even was able to sit down to eat my bowl I felt like a lot of the food was a little cold rather than warm as it should be we ate directly at the location after making our food. Plenty of tables and chairs.

My fiancee has been wanting to try this place with me for the longest. We were in the area so I finally went to Cava with her to try for the first time. I was not impressed. The employees had no idea what was going on- how much food to put in the bowls, what ingredients went with what order, and definitely seem like they did not want to be there. None of them smile one time or looked happy, maybe they didn't realize it was an open kitchen setting and customers can observe everything that is going on, or just didn't care. I waited patiently because my fiancee seemed stoked that we were finally there. In my mind, I had to keep silencing my own voice asking why I was there, why did I have to pay money for this bad service, why I had to put up with this slowness. Then I silently hoped that their food was just that good. No. When my food came, every bite tasted of vinegar or pickled red onion. I couldn't finish half of my bowl and for any amount of money it was a waste. I also tried their seasonal teas and they all tasted horrible. I literally had to pick the lesser of the evils. This place offers indoor seating space. After we arrived, there seem to have been a group of people that came in, all wanting Cava bowls. This will be my first and last time and I will gladly give up my spot in line for someone else to have their food. I remember there being parking spaces in this plaza. No I won't recommend this place to anyone simply because I just did not enjoy it. I don't know what makes them stand out amongst their competitors. I also hate Chipotle and vowed to never go there again after getting food poisoning, but compared to this place, it seems like Chipotle sounds like lesser of the two evils. Just go somewhere else. If you must have bowl dish with balanced portion of veggies, carbs, and protein, just go to chicken kitchen or halal guys.

Steak + Harissa Bowl
Alicia M.

I'll start by saying that CAVA's pita chips are one of the most satisfying bites they have to offer. ORDER THEM. Being that they are the only location in Broward County, expect long lines. They also have an app so I would recommend ordering in advance if you can. I believe that they are still working out the kinks. The front line needs to communicate better with the back of the house as they quickly run out of ingredients. With that being said, the staff were all very friendly, even with them being slammed. They were going as quick as humanly possible! The food was worth the hype for me. I ordered the steak and harissa bowl and got a double chicken pita for my husband. They absolutely pack these entrees to the brim! The flavors were incredible. The portion to price ratio is also spot on. I was able to get two full meals from just one entree for around $15. If you're close to the Broward mall and want to try something different, check them out! I wish they had a location closer to me. I'd be there weekly!

First time visiting a Cava. Someone suggested it and I decided to give it a shot. I went on a Wednesday evening. Walking in there was a long line so I assumed that meant the food was good. The place seemed pretty clean and the menu was on screen so while standing in line I was able to figure out what I wanted. I don't know much about mediterranean food so I asked a couple of questions once I got to the front. The servers were nice and patient with me. We dined in. The tables needed to be wiped down but no one was available so we took it upon ourselves to grab some napkins and wipe the table. Food was pretty good. I wish I took a picture. I highly recommend the lamb. It was seasoned so well.

Spicy Chicken + Falafel + Sweet Potato & Sumac Sour Cream + Onion Pita Chips
Brandon R.

Rushed from the airport after landing only 25 min before this Cava location closed. I made it 5 min before they closed at 10:30 pm on a Wednesday, and yet the young associates treated me as if they'd just opened for the day. They filled my bowl with care, took their time when I was unsure about a particular item, and even whipped up some of the new Sour Cream Pita Chips from scratch, even though there were none readily available as they were prepping for close. Last and as always - the food was great! The only reason I can't include anything about ambience is because they were clearly prepping for close. To the entire staff who closed on 1/29/26, I hope your Area Mgr sees this and lets you know just how well of a job you did overall, and that I appreciated your service!

I'm really not sure what to expect. The place was booming with customers when I got there. I placed my order online ahead of time for pick up. I'm hoping for a good treat tonight. I had heard about this place from some coworkers and they said it was decent fast Greek food. So I am going to give it a try. I got the greens (romaine) plus grains (saffron basmati rice) bowl with steak and falafel. Hubby got the greens (romaine) plus grains (with saffron basmati rice) bowl with lamb meatballs, and steak. And I got the salad bowl with steak for my daughter. Lots of greens types, grains (basmati rice, brown rice, lentils), sauces, toppings, and dressings to choose from to customize the bowls to what you want. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. I am not a big bowls fan because ingredients are all commingled together on top of one another. The crazy feta is so good and the balsamic date vinegarette is a winner. I think I'll be back! Yum.

Customization, healthy, fast food ! The food tastes fresh. I like that I can pick everything I like. And that they don't limit the toppings. Lots of pickeled toppings which are so good! I like the dips and the Sauces because there are so many options and you can get all the same or try different ones.

I have wanted to try Cava before they were in Florida and I am happy to that they are in Broward. I must have arrived at their peak time as the line was long and at the door. But it moved quickly. I knew what I wanted before I entered by creating custom bowl online, I am avoiding gluten and dairy. I got their harissa honey chicken. Although I was able to order but with some slow down with the staff for unknown reason, especially at the register. The price was fair for the portions and fresh options. The food is delicious with the right amount of flavor and spice. I can see why there's a long line. I would definitely return when I'm in the area to try other options

I heard the hype about CAVA So, I ordered the chef curated Steak & Harissa Ordered exactly how it comes Because the amount of option might have your mind feeling numb Apart from grilled steak, there was crazy feta, hummus, cucumbers and then some Since it was the first time, I also got their spicy pita chips Not as spicy, but there is a kick Also, they have in house drinks made So many options I just mixed it all, and it was very well played Service I expected to be more welcoming But long lines all day I guess it's draining All in All, the long line says it all If I do land in Plantation, this is the place I might fall

Nathan D.

Finally got to try them. I'd seen the hype over cava being the Chipotle killer for at least a yr... So I was disappointed to see that there were no locations in south florida at the time that I looked. Fast forward to a few months ago I saw one was coming to plantation! When i got there the line was crazy long.. but def worth the wait as the food was fresh and flavorful. I got the spicy lamb.. liked it alot! Can't remember what my friend got as she modified it.. but hers looked good also! Def will b back.

Pick up shelf
Nerissa H.

This is truly a mixed review since there and highs and lows of this place. First and foremost; it is refreshing to have a place like this in Plantation and surrounding sunrise area. Bowl places were far and none ..when looking for healthy 'tasty options but they have finally filled this void. I'm a frequent visitor since to me it feels like the best 'home cook feel' option there is close by but recently all my pick up orders have been wrong..I understand if they are out of specific ingredients but it seems to be everytime so far. Honestly, it still tastes amazing so im not knocking the taste but the consistency needs to worked on. In terms of wait time, its definately improved from opening day but it truly depends on the time of day..i usually do my pick up around 11:30 a.m. and I'm in and out usually within 5 minutes but im ordering online as opposed to getting it there. I have tried quite a few bowls, Spicy lamb + Avocado, Harissa Avocado, Greek salad, and Chicken + Pita (which is now my repeat order). I usually get the Saffron Basmati and Tzatziki with every dish just because but again ive tried it the original way and its just as good. I have tried the shredded lamb on pita (which I ordered as a kids meal for my daughter and she loved it. They all were very good as is but I have substituted sauces after trying the original based on dietary preferences and it doesn't deter the taste. If you are trying to eat Keto, Paleo, or High protein this is the place I recommend in Plantation!

Chips
Evelina K.

Great as always! Glad to see it have consistent quality no matter when I come with my friends. The only issue that I would love to see fixed: the trash can outside gets overfilled during busy hours and it's a bit unpleasant if you sit next to it.

Food is good, but it's good at every cava. This might be the slowest service of any where I've ever been.

While it is a little confusing to find the front because of all the construction, once you know where this place is you will return time and time again like I have. The staff here is unbelievably friendly and the place is very clean. I do wish the air conditioner was a little cooler but that is a personal preference. Prices are very reasonable and I always get the media luna which is half a chicken pita and half a beef Shawarma pita so you get to try both of their amazing pita sandwiches! The chicken is seasoned wonderfully and the beef Shawarma is out of this world! That are also in the pita are very fresh flavors blend of well perfectly! And roughly $15 for a whole pita to find I definitely think it's worth it because I have had leftovers so I basically get two lunches for that price. The service is prompt and the servers are very friendly and I never feel like I am being rushed or hovered over to get a table cleaned and me sent out the door here.

I wish I had more pictures, but I usually dive in before I can snap them. Everything we've tried has been incredible, but I'll name a few personal favorites. The corn ribs - I don't know what they do to this corn, but we literally fight over these at the table. They have a sour tang to the spice and an addictive roasted flavor, and are perfect with the garlic sauce. The hummus - theirs is nutty and earthy with a smooth texture and served with chickpeas and garlic on top. It's a great starter too with the pita! The gyro - they actually use lamb for theirs, which is a huge plus for me since I can't eat the beef/lamb blend at most other places. The balance of fillings is perfect and the flavor is spot on here. The mint lemonade - so refreshing and not too sweet. I think about this stuff every time it's hot out and wish I had some. I order it every time I visit. The restaurant itself has more seating than you'd think, and offers a relaxing atmosphere where you can unwind. Everything comes out really fast, and the owner/manager is truly the best. He insisted on helping me and my mom to the car last time we got a big takeout order and is always very attentive to the table's needs. I know the plaza has some construction going on, but don't let that out you off of a visit. This place is absolutely worth it!

Food was excellent all around, service was great, and everything was very clean. Free bread arrived warm, homemade, and very fluffy inside with crunchy crust. The falafel was very herby, perfectly fried and very crunchy outside. It came on a bed of hummus with tahini drizzle. It came with 4 sliders. Falafel is usually hit or miss for me, but I would get this again! We shared a mixed grill platter so we could try some of everything. Surprisingly, my favorite was the chicken! Perfectly cooked, well marinated and grilled with a slight char. My hubby liked the beef/lamb patty best. It also came with one lamb chop, a grilled tomato, a little side of marinated cabbage, and a grilled jalepeno on a bed of tomato flavored bulgur (think like a Turkish spiced rice pilaf?) everything was truly cooked perfectly with nice spice. We also tried the lentil soup - it tasted almost creamy with a light tomato base and everything blended together (with a tiny bit of texture left from the lentils.) Also very good. The server was extremely accommodating, even offering extra grilled tomatoes when he saw us sharing the scraps of one! So glad we found this place and certainly will return!

Everything arrived neatly packed, and I appreciated that my falafel wrap was wrapped well and didn't get squished. My mom's chicken, rice, and greek salad kids' meal was the highlight. The portion was generous, well balanced, and she's a very picky eater who finished every bite, which says a lot. Unfortunately, my falafel was the opposite experience. It looked great, but it was dense, dry, and lacked flavor. Even the tzatziki was bland. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't deliver.

The portion size, the taste, the quality, even the side of greek fries was fantastic on seasoning and freshness and crispiness. The Greek platter presentation is really nice, but while the meats are plentiful the bed of rice pilaf isn't nearly enough to fill the half empty plate. Again the meal was absolutely fresh, great on seasonings and delicious. It's just a bit expensive for the portion size. But it does also bring warm pita with tatziki sauce and a side salad lightly tossed in oil and vinegar which was refreshing. Only miss was portion size on the platter, which kept me from giving a 5 star review. BUT I will definitely be back to try that Athenian burger!

Feeling like…read morea little bit of everything on a plate; we took a good ole ride down to Sunrise Pita and Grill. Going in, there wasn't too long of a wait and we settled on a shawarma mini plate with a side order of fresh fries. Moving on with my review; everything was excellent! Note; I've been coming here since I've been a child, but the food nevertheless fails to impress me. The shawarma was succulent, spiced and grilled well too; fries fresh and crispy; the veggies/spreads were all fresh and provided nicel contrast of flavors too. Moreover, the mini plate provided plenty to eat between the 2 of us as our bellies were super full! In addition, the employees were very friendly and attentive.

However we were in for a nasty surprise when we realized that their website is incorrect and they aren't open until 10 PM, only until 8 PM, so by 7:30 when we arrived, the grills were closed.

The falafel didn't have much flavor, and the sauce had a weirdly bitter aftertaste. It was overall pretty dry, and it fell flat texturally. The flavor of their hummus was also quite bland with a bitter aftertaste as well. While I didn't try it myself, my family was rather unimpressed with the schnitzel pita too. The best part of the meal was the potato wedges and the canned Israeli apple juice. After such a disappointing experience, I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back.
