This food was soooo good. I wish there was one where I lived. I will travel for this lol. Very flavorful and I felt fulfilled without being stuffed. I got the lamb bowl. They only give you to pieces of meat, it looks like a meatball. That wasn't enough for me so I asked for 2 more lol. They had no issues with it. Service was fast and friendly and the place was clean. It's setup like chipotle when you order so although they have a menu, you can customize your food. I highly recommend this place. (Side note: blurry pic due to dropping my phone) read more

I usually love Cava but not from this location unfortunately. So I had my usual bowl here at this Cava for the first time today and yikes The saffron rice was super undercooked, still very crunchy . My braised lamb tasted cold... Also pretty sure I saw someone in the back making a to go order and half way working on the order, he stopped to put something in his mouth, (most likely a topping) and he went right back to finishing up that bowl. read more

My sentiments about CAVA are pretty much the same as most people. There is no doubt that the food is good, you can tell it's fresh, whole food. Even the fountain drinks are Maine Root, known for using cane sugar. This place uses good ingredients. But you are paying a steep price. I had the lamb meatballs sweet potato bowl with pita chips and a regular fountain drink. The standard portion is two baby sized meatballs, I asked for double and my total came out to $35. read more

Inflation is real. I just realized they this small drink (kid size) cup for coke cost $3.25 I totally forgot to take a pic of my food, but this was the splurge for the month for m, I don't think I got the value for what I paid in total for this bowl and drink. read more

This is my 2nd time trying CAVA and my very last. It's not worth the money for poor quality food. They never fill up the bowls for the price point. I'm sticking to Mezeh. The restaurants in Raleigh are just terrible. read more

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience 3 Date/Time: 10/6/2024 12:30pm Crowd: 3 tables occupied and several waiting in line (mostly to-go orders) Order: Spicy Chicken & Avocado Wrap Service was quick. The folks behind the counter looked a bit tired with all the serving they were doing but were efficient at their job. After going public on the stock market, I thought there would be some changes in the restaurant but the same cement floor was still there. They did change the app with rewards. The food is still very good. Ordered the wrap with the harissa vinegarette on the side just in case the harissa hummus made it too spicy but it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be so used it to dip the wrap into. Still a good place to eat! read more

This time I decided to try the new date vinaigrette and it was soo yummy. I also threw a couple sweet potatoes in the bowl and it offered a balanced of sweet & savory. Cava is always consistent, I can't be upset with the service as we are always waiting for fresh harissa chicken. Who can be mad at that?! Overall, I always enjoy cava and would recommend. read more

CAVA - Harissa Chicken salad bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I can't really say I enjoyed this location. It wasn't very clean, the staff wasn't very friendly, the food wasn't that amazing for the price we paid. I can see how it could be, but not at this location for me. I eat here only because the person I was having lunch loves their food. I really wanted to enjoy it - but no. The one thing that really bothered me was when I asked for some suggestions from the staff since it was my first time. The person was kind of shrugged like "I don't know what to tell ya". Like I am not looking for you to give me a Yelp review, but what is the best sellers? That would have helped. That was the introduction and well we know how first impression are. Once I decided on what I wanted, the quality of the protein the staff member was placing within my bowl, I asked could they give me something that looked fresh as that looked to have been out for awhile. They became annoyed. Yeah, at that point I was like you know what - let me get thru this. I will not be back nor would I recommend this location to anyone. read more

I absolutely love Cava. I do not love this location, it is very unpredictable when it comes to service and food. Today Oct 24 at 8:00pm they are closed. The hours posted says they are open until 10:30pm. I have also come to this location and they have been closed at 10:00pm. I have mobile ordered multiple times from here and although my food has been delicious it's always a guessing game of which ingredients they will not include. I have not had one bowl from here that has exactly matched what I ordered. It's constant disappointment after constant disappointment, which sucks because this is the only Cava near me so I will unfortunately bear it. read more

The store is severely understaffed. The cashier should only handle checkouts, not food. This raises serious sanitation concerns. Even though hands don't touch the food when making the bowls, there are still opportunities to improve the food prep process. I didn't see gloves being changed frequently and the food prepping area needs cleaning. The dining area tables were dirty and required deep cleaning. I acknowledge that I visited during a busy time, but that doesn't excuse the issues I observed. Overall, the food was good as always. read more

Service is great, love to come on my lunch break. Shout to Jaquan for looking out. The steak Harris bowl is my favorite.

I finally tried Cava!!! My daughter and my nephew both rave about it, so I ordered delivery for a Sunday dinner. I'll definitely go to the actual location next time to make sure I'm getting everything I ask for and the correct portions. I had the grains bowl, with basmati rice, 1/2 braised lamb, 1/2 grilled chicken, cucumber & tomatoes, pickled onions & tzatziki!! It was absolutely delicious. It was love at first bite. I'm already planning my next visit. The grilled chicken and the braised lamb were both so amazingly tender and melted in my mouth. The flavor profile of the bowl was perfect! They forgot my side of pita and my side of yogurt dill sauce, but it didn't take away from the delicious, fresh taste of the bowl. I can only imagine how delicious the pita will be. read more

Food was delicious. The server suggested I try the balsamic date vinaigrette, and it was fabulous! I'm so glad I tried it. Thank you ! I had the lavender blueberry lemonade, it felt "dry" I really don't know how to explain it, but it was not sweet whatsoever. Ambience, pretty chill inside. There is seating outside but the other restaurant across has seating there and during the weekends it gets pretty busy. During the week it is quiet. read more

CAVA - I was half way done before remember to take a picture lol this food is good! - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The restaurant was clean. Plenty of parking. The drink area was clean as well. They also offer a pickup area. The food was good. Meat was well seasoned & everything was fresh. I love eating at any of their locations. The employees were great. Robert displayed excellent customer service. However, I believe some training for some employees would be helpful. When preparing bowls, is you choose not to get lettuce, then you should get more rice (see pics). I did bring it to their attention & it was corrected. I appreciate that. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & outdoor seating as well. Very relaxing inside. I will say this, I got a warm feeling from the staff; like a family unit. The impression was they work well together & care about each other. That's so important nowadays. I love that versus a hostile environment where people have attitudes & chaos. I will definitely return to this location. PLEASE REMEMBER, have patience, you never know what someone is going through or what kind of day they may be having. It may be a reason they aren't smiling or talking. read more

Do I recommend this business? Hell yeah! Omg. Absolutely one of the best salads I've ever had. The ingredients are so fresh, you feel so good eating this and the flavors are phenomenal. We chose a create your own and an chef avocado salad. I really customized my salad and it was perfection. Pita was delicious and fresh. Hummus fantastic! Beverages are unique and so good. We tried the blueberry lavender, unusual and yummy. Highly recommend this restaurant! Cava will be on our regular rotation! read more

So I finally tried CAVA and I have no idea why I waited soooo long! I got created my own bowl and loaded it with super greens, brown rice, red pepper hummus, harissa and tzatziki dip, tomato/cucumbers, fire roasted corn, olives, harissa honey chicken, pickled onions, pita crisp & finished it up with green vinaigrette, yogurt dill & hot harissa vinaigrette. It was amazing and although it was super light feeling I was full - 10/10 recommend. Now they're kinda high but it was expected so I wasn't caught off guard. I got my order to go but the inside was cool- there were a lot of people inside. It was a semi small but comfortable vibe. The pineapple mint drink was like a 6/10, but I would try it again. Servers were super cool & patient! I'll be back to try a different variation of the bowl. read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION. The most disrespectful manager I have ever met. We ordered 3 bowels spent 61$ and got two drinks and a cup of water. She made sure to tell us where the water tap was off the bat like I'm gonna get a free drink. When we filled up the cup the soda was flat, when we mentioned it to the worker he said to take one from the fridge. Then Miss B "the manager" proceeded to ask what we were doing like we are stealing the drinks. After she came back and claimed that the worker didn't say to take it from the fridge and to "ask" next time. She made sure to mention she is the store manager 3 times as if that was an excuse for her piss poor attitude. She followed to tell my friend that he was not a good guy and I am a good guy cause I'm the one that paid. I didn't like her attitude and how she spoke to us. She offered to refund the drink or the whole food order because again she is "the store manager" and she can. I told her to refund the whole order, which took her and one of the employees 10 minutes to figure out, and when she couldn't she gave me the money cash. When we said we would talk to corporate she said you won't be the first or the last like she was so proud of it. Piss poor attitude from Miss B and a crazy power trip. Go to the location next to Wegmans, they are very nice, friendly, and know how to treat their customers. We ordered the same 3 plates and my total was 45$ not 61$ like Miss B charged us. read more

Stopped by for lunch yesterday afternoon. Before I arrived I had already checked out the menu to know in advance what I wanted. When I walked in I was greeted by a young lady who was making the food. I let her know it was my first time there and she was very helpful with helping me understand the menu. I ordered the Crispy Falafel Pita with a side of the rice. Yall, that pita was not the best. It was stuffed with "roasted" COLD veggies. I literally was crunching on raw carrots (what it tasted like) and a bunch of other ingrediants that seemingly didn't go together. Overall I am not too sure if I will be back. I wasn't too impressed honestly, and I hate leaving these types of reviews. . . read more

The food there is so good, and it looks so good. I've been to their Falls of Neuse location like only four times in my life. I would go back again sometime someday with my family. The people who work there seem nice and I like Cava. I like their drinks and I would go back there again soon. Their food looks so good and I would like their other food. I would like their food that I haven't tried yet. I went to their Village District location back in July with my older sister Sonia. read more

Walked out without my spicy falafel bowl after terrible and rude service. Asked the first server for dressing on the side. Second server covered the salad with dressing and gave a look of complete disgust when I said I wanted dressing on the side. On line at Chopt next door now.

CAVA - Idle employees as I wait for my order - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Food was not fresh and delicious like it normally is. We get kids meals and the man serving us said we didn't look like kids. My boyfriend said we wanted kids meals. I asked the man if there was fresh brown rice. He said the rice WAS fresh and "there was a 30 minute wait for new rice and by that time I will be gone" He asked if I wanted a salad or a bowl instead or white rice, and I said no. The white rice didn't look any better. He was extremely rude, hurried my order and forgot our sides. I went back for our sides and asked for another rice and he rolled his eyes at me and went back to his station laughing at me. Rude service, this time was the last straw with this Cava location. Things are always filthy here, unfresh and unfriendly. Will not be returning. read more

The lamb balls are soooo good. I got some sauce or something that was really spicy but it was still very good. I added additional pitas that were very well worth it.

I'd like to start off by saying that both the young man who took my order and the cashier were very kind and pleasant to work with with great customer service skills. The manager on the other hand, not so much. She only seemed to care about inserting her power and being "in charge" by overriding a substitution that the employee had told me was okay for my 8 year old's kids meal. He simply wanted two scoops of hummus instead of the two veggies (which is probably cheaper for Cava anyway). After the employee had already told me that was okay and put two scoops of hummus into the kids meal, this manager told me I would have to pay the up charge and that she was training the employee helping me and what he told me was incorrect. I told her I was not paying a upcharge, so she scooped out some of the hummus and threw it away. What kind of customer service, especially from a manager, is that? She should've said "no problem ma'am" and the corrected her employee after the fact - so that she honored what he'd already promised and also didn't undermine him in front of a customer. She then assumed I was stealing a milk that came with the kid's meal because I also got a water cup for my child. She was grilling the cashier to be sure that she didn't give us a free drink and that we paid for everything. Again, so wildly unprofessional in front of customers where I could hear her. I have plenty of money and do not need to steal a child's milk. We used to love Cava but we won't be coming to this location anymore with that kind of leadership on staff (visit was evening of 12/15). read more
