    Pick up area for mobile orders

    When you need something quick, tasty, and healthy, you can't go wrong with CAVA. I've been to a lot of locations - Paramus (my usual go-to), Wayne, and Edgewater. Today was my first time visiting the Ramsey location and I'm mad that I didn't come sooner. I came on a Monday afternoon and the place was poppin'. Most tables were filled and there was a constant flow of people coming in and out. First of all... the SERVICE? It was like day and night compared to Paramus! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with smiles and warmth. Every employee that helped make my order were so friendly and polite, including the cashier and manager. They were very generous with portions and packed my bowl to the top! I was actually shocked because the Paramus employees are nothing like this... sorry, but it goes to show how much customer service goes a long way. I was also impressed by the cleanliness and organization. The counter/ordering area, drinks station, tables, and trash area were all fairly clean. The toppings, proteins, dips, greens, and grains were fully stocked. They have a designated area for mobile orders, which they kept up with. They seem to be prepared to handle large crowds and rush hours, so kudos to them! Once again... this is like day and night compared to Paramus. I ordered my usual: super greens, brown rice, tzatziki sauce, roasted eggplant, crazy feta dip, grilled chicken, corn, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, cabbage slaw, feta cheese, and pita crisps all topped with Greek vinaigrette dressing. My bowl was delicious and flavorful! Toppings were so fresh and the chicken was well seasoned. And you can't forget to wash down your meal with one of their refreshing drinks! Today I went with their strawberry citrus and lemonade. Hmmmm I guess I can make a sacrifice... driving through Route 17 aka a hell hole... just to get a better CAVA experience? I think yes. I didn't mean for this review to sound like I'm bashing on Paramus LOL... but I'm just impressed with the Ramsey location. Great job!

    Cava has delicious fresh food. The salads and all the options you can get are many. The place was clean, staff was great. They have the best drinks. Can't wait to return. I just wish they had one in Monmouth County.

    sprinkle of broccoli

    I have no words. This location is very inconsistent. Last week they forgot the dressing for 4 meals. I contacted customer service and they gave me a partial refund. This week I ordered 5 meals for delivery, all with dressing and they sent 3 dressings. We also ordered broccoli in 4 of the meals and it was barely a sprinkle. Finally, ordered the crazy feta and it wasn't even a tablespoon full. Probably won't order from this location again unless they improve.

    I love Cava's bowl/pita options. They have many healthy, delicious options to pick from. The food bar station is always clean and the line moves very fast, almost too fast lol. The service is okay. The line servers always move very fast and I understand but it can be a bit overwhelming when you're faced with many delicious choices. My tried and true Cava order is a grain and greens bowl. It contains; white rice, splendid greens, red pepper hummus, crazy feta dip, tzatziki dip, grilled chicken, roasted corn, Persian cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, feta cheese, pickled onions, Kalamata olives, Greek dressing and lemon herb tahini dressing. I know, it sounds like a lot but I promise it is worth trying! My only gripe is they always forget to give you the free side of pita. I would recommend trying Cava and creating your own go to bowl but don't forget to ask for your free side of warm pita!

    Spicy greens plus lamb meatballs was excellent!

    Am I bit casual with the five stars? Perhaps. But the thing is, my wife and I were hungry after watching a school play and 20 minutes later we were full. Cava is clean, bright, and modern. The staff were friendly and professional. My wife had a chicken and brown rice bowl and I had the spicy greens bowl plus spicy lamb meatballs. The texture and flavor were excellent. Just the right level of spice for me, which would be the high side of medium. This is my kind of healthy and fast casual restaurant.

    Paid $17 for this order and the bowl was MAYBE half full if being generous. Asked for Arugula, Brown Rice, Tzatziki, Tzatziki, Spicy Lamb Meatballs, Salt-Brined Pickles, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Cucumber, Persian Cucumber, Pita Crisps, Skhug, Skhug, Free Side Pita Honestly good for you Cava Group representatives Ted, Ike, Dimitri, and Brett for ensuring the best bang for buck to satisfy your fluffy EOY bonuses!

    See all

The chicken souvlaki was surprisingly moist and tender and quite delicious. ++++ Lamb Souvlaki Platter - Huge like the Chicken Souvlaki and the lamb meat was very tender and tasty. It was $2 more than the other platters, but definitely worth the extra few bucks. ++++ Gyro Pita - Huge pita with 2 slices of lemon potatoes on a plate. There was plenty of gyro meat inside along with the typical Greek pita ingredients. ++++ Almond Cookies - This was complimentary after our meal. They were OK and had a lot of powdered sugar on it, but free IS free. ++++ All of the pitas and platters were reasonably priced. Pitas were about $13 and platters were $18-20. + Restaurant is very spacious with plenty of tables and huge booths + Restaurant is very clean, organized and nicely decorated. + Restaurant is part of a strip mall so there are plenty of parking spaces outside + Food arrived very quickly. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a bit blah at the start. ---- We were the 1st customers on a Saturday late morning.

This time we chose to pick out whole fish, added a steak for the table, and a number of other dishes. Loved the round table vs typical rectangle which provides more interaction and sharing for large groups. Drinks were divine and the wait staff was incredibly attentive. I have been here as a party of two where service was subpar. But perhaps because we dropped $1k for dinner this time it made a difference? (rhetorical)

    I've been dining at your restaurant for approximately eight years, and last Friday evening was the…read morefirst time I've left feeling disappointed -- which is why I felt it was worth sharing. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and was genuinely surprised by the preparation. It's such a prime piece of fish, but the heavy onion and tomato topping completely overpowered it. Unfortunately, the onion was still raw, which made the dish even more difficult to enjoy. It felt like the quality of the fish was lost beneath the garnish. The scallops were similarly confusing. Pairing seared scallops with a version of eggplant parmesan didn't feel cohesive, and the flavors competed rather than complemented one another. As for the appetizers, they fell flat. The hamachi lacked brightness and flavor, and the ground tuna and salmon quenelles did not taste particularly fresh. I do want to emphasize that the service was excellent, as it always has been, and the restaurant remains beautiful, clean, and well maintained. That consistency is part of why I've been a loyal guest for so many years. I'm sharing this because I care about the restaurant and hope this was simply an off night. I look forward to returning and experiencing the level of quality I've come to expect. Tell the chef to really taste the food and not ever send anything that isn't up to par for the reputation that Varka has maintained for many many years

The Montvale…read morelocation isn't too far of a drive for me, but I would love it if there was one even closer... I've been coming here frequently for the past two months and I'm officially addicted! If you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal... NAYA will not disappoint. It's a fast-casual franchise inspired by Lebanese/Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu is straightforward and follows the typical "build your own" food model. You can create your own bowl, pita roll, or salad. Then you add your bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces. The toppings are UNLIMITED, so go off!!! Plus, they give you free pita bread! They also have a small selection of hot & cold appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The prices are reasonable and they give you a generous amount of food. Depending on how hangry I am, I can usually split my food into two meals. My go-to order is the Naya bowl. I highly recommend trying these: *Chicken Shawarma (roasted strips of marinated chicken) - One of my favorite proteins! It's tangy and garlicky. *Falafel (fried chickpea croquette with herbs and spices) - They're super crispy and deep fried to perfection with a golden-brown exterior. The inside is a vibrant green color from all of the fresh herbs, spices, and grounded chickpeas. *Beef Shawarma - Tender, juicy, and savory! *Baba Ghannouj - A must try for eggplant lovers!! It's smoky with rich flavors from charred eggplant, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. *Hummus - It's creamy, nutty, and earthy. All of the ingredients and toppings are fresh. Every bite is a burst of flavor! The staff is always friendly and packs my bowl to the brim, so I can't complain. They get busy during lunch rush hours, but you can order ahead to avoid a longer wait time. The interior is bright, modern, and welcoming with natural lighting and greenery. There's a good amount of seating. Add NAYA to your rotation of fast-casual healthy eateries!

    Overall, not bad -- but definitely not their best. I've eaten at different locations before, and…read moreover time I've noticed changes in both packaging and food quality. This time I ordered a rice bowl with shawarma. The shawarma itself looked very odd -- almost like jerky in texture -- though it wasn't hard to chew. I got it with the green and red sauces, hummus, and garlic whip. Flavor-wise it was okay, but the presentation was sloppy by the time it arrived. The bowl looked like a complete mess, and I couldn't even tell what was what. This was an Uber Eats order, and I've ordered through Uber plenty of times without issues, but this one was definitely a miss.

And the food? It's consistently fantastic. We started with a spread of appetizers that set the bar high: the Stuffed Figs and Meatball specials were standout hits, and you can't go wrong with their perfectly crisp Caesar Salad or the Escargot Scampi in that delicious puff pastry. For the main course, the Filet Mignon Oscar and Veal Imperial specials were prepared to perfection - decadent and incredibly fresh. The Cacio e Pepe was authentic and flavorful, and the Capellini special was light, but OH SO satisfying. They topped off the night with a beautiful birthday surprise -- Crème Brûlée (complete with a "Happy Birthday" chocolate sign and candle!) along with the Mixed Berries with Biscotti (can't go wrong with perfection!). Thank you to the entire team at Savini's for making my 40th Birthday Extravaganza so memorable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a life milestone, this place remains our "steady ground" and our favorite tradition. Can't wait for the next visit!
