Food

The best cava in Maryland !!! Very good customer service and super delicious food, Don't miss the opportunity to visit this place

Salad bowl

Usually food places (like chipotle) would give you less food or mess up your order with online orders, BUT NOT THIS CAVA! I always order online and they fill my bowl well, just as much as they would if you go in person. As an avid uber eats person, this is such an important thing to me!

Ancient Grains + Greens Bowl w/ Braised Lamb.....Quinoa, Roasted Red Pepper, Black Olives, Hummus & a rack of healthy veggies!!

Definitely a fan! You can't go wrong with this place!...It's fast, healthy, quality ingredients and most of all...delicious!! I have been to several CAVA locations around the city and they all are good....and the consistency is there too! This location is no exception. They have a pretty focused menu where you choose greens or rice bowl...or both! You work you way down the down selecting ingredients for your meal and over 13+ toppings....like Lentils, Eggplant + Roasted Red Pepper, Harissa, Organic Roasted Garlic Hummus, Olives, Tomatoes, Pickeled Peppers, Cucumbers....Meats: Grilled Chicken, Spicy Lamb Meatballs, Roasted Vegetables Vegetarian options. Think of a Mediterranean version of Chipolte. I typically go for the the Splendid Greens & Rice Bowl with a mix of lentils, hummus-harissa dips, couscous, plethora of veggies...all with the Spicy Lamb Meatballs!....It is nothing but the truth!! A healthy gospel of goodness in a bowl. I opt for the grilled chicken at times with this combination, to change things up every now and then. In all, it is an excellent and tasty meal at a great value --considering its the healthy way to go. The food at CAVA is very fresh made of high quality ingredients. The meats, sauces and dressings are seasoned and has really good flavor. There are vegetarian options too. I will admit thought that it is a bit pricey when it comes to looking for a economical, cheap lunch options....but for the portion size and healthy option aspect...it is totally worth it! * PRO TIP: Use their app frequently to earn rewards and free meals! Also, free bowl ($9.00) credit for your Birthday!!

Baby portioned food...

The person who took made my order today was absolutely terrible, I was not paying attention as I have been coming here for a couple of months I had no need too. I noticed a new a person today and I told him what I wanted while I was on the phone believe it or not bro gave me the babiest of portions which I didn't realize till I got home. Never have I ever had to ask for more portions for, I had trust that the workers knew what they were doing. Do you expect me to pay 14-20 dollars for something that could feed my 2 year old. And the worst part was that I asked for "HOT HARISSA SAUCE" didn't realize that it was not the sauce I ordered by the time I got home, because this order is for my wife. Just terrible.

Update January 2021 If you download the app, you can get your food delivered to your home. They also have curbside pickup. Curbside pickup is located in front of the restaurant. Literally on the opposite side of the movie theater. There should be a sign that points you to the curbside pickup drop station. Also, be sure to join their rewards program where you get points to earn that will eventually lead you to free entrees. In terms of dressing, their harissa vinegarette and garlic dressing are both a good combination. Chicken and meatballs are a good meat combo too. ------------------------------ Tons of garage parking and located in downtown silver spring. The restaurant takes both cash and credit card. Their food quality is very fresh and the staff here are exceptionally friendly. Recommend getting the half salad half rice bowl. It's a good combination between rice and salad. In terms of meats, chicken is the tastiest. The spreads for their hummus are good too. Must try their harissa. It's very spicy. Not great if you are sensitive to spicy food. With the rice bowl, you can request to have the mini pita on the side. They do have drinks (non alcoholic) here which is nice. They do have tons of tables here if you decide to eat inside. They also have 4-5 outdoor tables as well if you want to enjoy your meal outside. Overall, this place is worth a visit. Fresh food and friendly employee

This is the most healthiest and delicious guilt free meal I have had in my life. I have spent my lunch money on Cava's Salad bowl 2 weeks straight. The falafel is amazing and when I mix it with chicken and hummus, the flavor hits the roof. Highly suggest this restaurant and cava.

You will not be disappointed with this true tasting of Mediterranean tapas. Staff were wonderful,…read moresmiled, helpful knowledgeable on the menu and spices offering alternatives, the environment in the dining area is what you would expect in a Mediterranean café. B4 warned you need reservations for this place even at the bar the bar filled up quickly. Tables filled up quickly, and there is a minimum timeframe at the tables Restaurant week options and the menu was quite a deal. I was able to taste three cold three hot and three main dishes wonderful experience overall.

I sat and thought about this review after dinner here last night. Longer than I normally do. 4.5…read morestars. We really liked Ala, despite my nitpicks at the end. We will be back, I just have a lot to say. As a note: they're very good with allergies like gluten. Food was amazing, from the 2 different Kebabs, Manti, Halloumi wraps, Za'atar Pide (flatbread) and a few other plates amongst the four of us--our group split the plates up to avoid cross-contamination and one member of our party couldn't do gluten -- and when it came out everything was amazing and flavorful and delicious. Definitely want to go back and try more. I genuinely feel bad for our server: he got stuck with an incredibly busy section and for the first 45 minutes or so of our meal, as a result of this, service was very slow. It took us a little while to order and then have our drinks come. This was solely due to the crowd. But then our food came out quickly. Our server seemed rather overwhelmed at times. I want to stress that this was solely due to how busy they were and no fault of any of the staff. So, if you go, just be patient. I want to stress that service was great for us. Also a note that all of your hot Mezze will likely come out at the same time after the cold mezze. I have some nitpicks : 1) one of our tables was not level with the other one and kept moving unless we put pressure on the legs or on the top. This probably should've been checked & fixed between patrons. 2) The Garides shrimp mezze was probably the most whelming. The parsley tahini pesto and veggies were nice, but for the price there could've been 4 shrimp at minimum. I didn't get much from the seven spice flavoring. I think I just wanted more from this dish. It's just one that doesn't feel as awesome as the others (especially because a lot of people don't know off hand you can eat the clear shrimp shell and the tail). 3) The mixed spread mezze needs to have at least 2 more pita. 4) The ambiance is lovely but at one point, the background music seemed to have been turned up a smidge volume wise, or the song was just a louder one, which made it a bit hard to hear. This was also right when a lot of our food came.

Tavira is a well-kept secret. While it may seem underrated because it's not hip and new, the two…read moretimes I've visited, this Portuguese restaurant has been busy. It's tucked away into the ground floor of an office building. There is plenty of parking, which is appreciated. They are open for lunch and dinner, which is worth keeping in mind. Service is excellent. Servers are trained to serve properly. Also, I hadn't visited in months, and one of the servers, Horis, remembered me, which is nice. They take care of their customers here. The ambiance isn't quite that of a Massachusetts Portuguese restaurant, but Tavira does embody an old-world feel. Food is also excellent. I've had the garlic shrimp, pasteis de bacalhau, piri-piri chicken, suckling pig special, lamb shank special, and the pistachio and chocolate lover's cakes. Everything has been delicious. The roast suckling pig is the standout and you must order that if they have it on special. I'm looking forward to returning to try the pork shank and cod dishes. Presentation of all dishes is beautiful. The wine list is nice, especially as I love Portuguese wine. If you are dining with companions, I highly recommend a bottle. They do not have a cocktail list but do have a full bar. On Friday nights, there is live music, which is appreciated. While this restaurant might be as close as I can get to the city of Tavira for the time being, I'll take it. The amazing food and service ensures Tavira will be on my regular rotation, and it should be added to yours as well.

It wasn't the easiest to locate, but once we figured it out, there was plenty of free parking available. Just a heads-up that you do have to enter through the underground garage. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty aside from a few older guests, so initially I felt a little out of place and wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, the customer service definitely made a great impression. Everyone was friendly and professional, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and did a great job explaining the different dishes. As for the food, everything we tried was genuinely tasty. My biggest issue was really the portions, particularly the sides. My snapper came with what felt like less than a handful of Brussels sprouts, while the fish itself had so many tomatoes on top that I swear I had more tomatoes than I did sides. The snapper still tasted good, but the proportions of everything on the plate just didn't make much sense to me. The lamb was flavorful and had a really nice grilled taste, and the mushroom ravioli was also delicious. Again, though, the portion left me wanting just a little more. It came with three ravioli, and I feel like even four would have made the serving feel a bit more complete. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and we enjoyed our date night. I just wish the portions matched the quality of the food a little better, especially when it came to the sides. Nothing was necessarily bad--I just left feeling like a few small adjustments to the portions could make the overall dining experience much more satisfying.
