    Chicken bowl
    Will C.

    Placed online order about an hour before pick up time, got to the place and still not ready, had to wait another 20 minutes. A lot of people were waiting already, the lady preparing the food walked away from the station, another guy took over and completed my order. That's terrible service. The food was good, not the best one but good. They need to improve their service though. As always this is my personal opinion.

    Not terrible, but not great either. This is a quick meal restaurant where you create a salad or a bowl by going down the line and telling the associate what you'd like on your meal: grain, greens, protein. This is a healthy option and the menu looks great. The negative for me was that the food didn't taste fresh. It tasted more like room temperature 2-3 day old ingredients mixed together. The associate that crafted my meal and the handful of customers ahead of me looked like he was counting down the minutes to clock out. He was pleasant enough but he was obviously over it and ready to go home. I had to ask multiple times for him to add a bit more because he was literally giving me what looked like a teaspoon or two of each item. Perhaps it was just this location. It was around 1pm but it wasn't super busy. Overall I wasn't impressed and can't say that I'd make this a regular stop. It was that unimpressive that I really don't have much to say about it. I wouldn't recommend it, but I wouldn't deter anyone. I'd just say don't expect much.

    This was so delicious and filling!

    My first time here and was not disappointed!! They have pre-made bowls or you can create your own salad with loads of toppings.. The prices were not bad. The meal was very delicious and filling.

    Loved my salad. Full of fresh, healthy veggies. Add some fresh avocado, and it was a taste sensation. Loved the food and disliked the loud, food hall style seating. Do not know how people can talk with each other as the echo is intense.

    First time here because I wanted something good and filling to eat. I ordered the Grain Bowl w. Greens Half and Half Bowl. Chicken for protein and a list of ingredients that I can honestly say that I do not remember! However, you can not go wrong w. Any choice you choose here. I appreciate the staff guiding me down the bar to each different section by telling me what each item was and recommendations.

    Cava has an array of options for those aiming to be more healthy. I love this location since the food is always fresh and tasty. The staff here is great at making recommendations and are always pleasant especially Chris during busy times. Thank you for making each experience a great one

    I am so glad I went to cava!! Now I go every day no lie!! Even the employees recognize me! I want to try the bowl but I can't get past the build your own pita. Now I am not a juice drinker but cava has changed me. I like the different flavors of juice they have and I mix them all!! The store is always nice and clean(I have gone to 3 different locations). I have already referred 4 people to it and they all have loved it! Most definitely going back tomorrow!!! Parking definitely not a problem and I recommend you go too.

    This location was slow because of staffing issues and take out orders but they rocked it. I built a bowl with saffron basmati rice, a scoop of hummus, tzatziki and roasted red pepper hummus, falafel, feta, tomato + onion salad, pickled onions, shredded romaine and topped it all with a drizzle of yogurt dill (so tasty). You can choose up to 3 dips + spreads and unlimited toppings with any of the bases that you start with. I also tried the pineapple apple mint drink and enjoyed it. Cava is a must visit for quick lunch.

We dined at their lovely bar back in the first months of their opening, and it was good. We had met the general manager, Red, and were impressed with the flavors of our one appetizer, Calabrian Chicken, yet we never rushed back. Now, we feel compelled to return ASAP to enjoy these exceptional flavors, fabulous teamwork system of service, and a comfortable chic atmosphere. The place was happening at 5:45 pm on our recent dining night out with friends. Grateful to have a reservation we were seated at a very comfortable banquette type of seating. It felt like dining in a friend's home. Our server, William, is excellent at his job. Very efficient, great input on food choices, and quite personable. The meal started off with a burst of flavor as we enjoyed their fairly new offering of a ceviche called Eye of the Tiger that featured a sauce you can never get enough of. Wish their bread service was a bit more inspired, but the Le Farm bread did soak up some of the various sauces sent out from a very inspired kitchen team. Food runners help make certain the tapas come out fresh and hot when needed. They are a friendly group of hospitality workers who seem to genuinely enjoy their work and treat their guests with sincere appreciation. It all starts at the top, and GM Red is a personable and sound leader. We loved the Chef's pasta, our octopus dish was stellar, the Calabrian Chicken almost stole the show, but the unctuous flavors on the plate of the Seared Halloumi was hands down my favorite. I love how this culinary team can crank out such outstanding flavors table to table and patron to patron without missing a beat. The energy in the room must feed their souls & for that we are grateful. Lastly I wish to mention the thoughtfully curated wine list where my husband discovered a treasure of a wine from the Familia Torres brand. It was exquisite and paired perfectly with Madre's flavors. Our friend who frequent their bar often rave about their Mezcal margarita! Another visit. See you soon Madre familia!

Truly, though, I'm here often and love it - my dear friend and I are both heavy-duty allergy kids and the Madre squad is exquisite at managing cross-contamination and adapting plates to be accommodating. If you have nothing else, order the cauliflower with the green goddess dressing. Maybe order that two or three times, actually. The salchipapas are probably my favorite app in Raleigh. Also, the owners are both super cute, and the Bryan Costello design is magnifique. I would hire that man to redo my entire home to feel like Madre.

The chicken shish kabob and lamb kabob were both flavorful and cooked well. Those were definitely the highlights of the meal. The disappointing part was that they were already out of the Doner plate by 2:30 p.m., even though we came for dinner service. It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

We started with the saganaki and hummus, then decided to go all in and order the Grecian Feast for two. In hindsight, that was a lot of food after already getting starters. Definitely come hungry or plan to split the feast with 3. The platter itself is huge and comes with a dip, rice, salad and your choice of meats and/or seafood. The highlights for us were the spicy feta and the salmon, both of which had great flavor. The lowlight was the chicken, which was way overcooked and ended up tough and pretty tasteless. Service unfortunately dragged the experience down quite a bit. It felt like we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came by with menus, then another 15 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Once we finally ordered everything, the food actually came out fairly quickly. But by the end of the meal we were basically hunting for our server. At one point we both separately went to the bathroom (including a trip to the one downstairs) and still had not seen our server to try to get the check. Overall, come for the rooftop atmosphere, but I would recommend ordering all of your drinks and food at once so you can just sit back and enjoy the patio without waiting around for service.
