    The bright big yellow bags

    Well honey be ready to wait in line the food is worth the hype . We can here because Ive been looking to try it for a while so here i was jumped in line at a reasonable time. The place was decent no real ambiance. They had a few seating options, a cooler with drinks options and two basic fountain drinks machines. One of the drinks area had 3 different types of flavors fancy fresh squeezed drinks . I had the green one it was pretty good just wish they had better size cups. The food was a 8/10 i can't remember what we had but that's exactly why my photos will be attached below . They have the build up your own options but due to the crowd we chose something on the menu ready made lol .

    I kept hearing about this place called Cava, but no one could tell me what is was. I did later find out that it was Mediterranean food so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Quite a few people that I have spoke to that went there had a hard time describing what type of restaurant it is. Now that I have gone there I can say if you have been to Chipotle you have been to Cava. Think of it as a Mediterranean Chipotle. My daughter and I went here and she basically ordered on line so it would be ready when we got there. She says if you don't preorder you have to wait for a long time to get service. Maybe she was right, when we got there we only had to wait a minute or so and the food was ready. We did sit down to eat but the drink selection was less desirable for me. I would have liked regular coke, fanta, lemonade or anything like that. When I was at the drink station I did not see those choices. To me if felt like the choices were leaning more towards "healthy" choice so maybe that was why I didn't enjoy them. The drinks were a little weird to me and not sweet enough. I tried them all just to see what they tasted like and I have to say they really were not enjoyable. None of them. I think I ended up just getting the root beer but it wasn't your regular root beer. Since I don't know what I ordered (since my daughter ordered) The food was enjoyable. The pitas were good too, I would have liked more of them but I think they were complimentary so you get what you get. She ordered some bowls and they were nice sized portions. The restaurant itself was clean. There weren't many people inside but all the tables were clean and it was quite inside as well. I did not have any issues on this visit so my interaction with staff was almost none. I may go here again just to try some other items on the menu but if Ido I have to make sure to bring my own drink or at least ask for a water because again the drink selection was not a good one for me.

    Build your own grains bowl, as you can see no hummus to be found nor crazy feta.

    Final straw with this location. I ordered a pick up order and what do you know? Half of my ingredients that are supposed to be in my bowl are not there. They left out the Harissa Hummus, Red pepper hummus and crazy feta. Not to mention the portions keep getting smaller and smaller. I tried calling the store three times and no response. I don't know what difference it would make anyways since the manager doesn't care . This is the second time I've tried to contact Corporate and get just a generic email with a partial refund. Ridiculous.

    Harissa Avocado

    Visited Cava last night after 9pm. It was a nice size crowd. I ordered the harissa avocado bowl and the cucumber mint& blueberry lavender drink. The food was fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly. The restroom was a little messy, but I just went to wash my hands. Otherwise, the restaurant was clean.

    Hair in bowl.

    There was a hair in my wife's grain bowl. Disgusting. I do not like leaving negative reviews because I am a true foodie and love to see the good in every restaurant I go to, but they messed it up for my family.

    Food was good but table was sticky, ceiling looked dusty and the restaurant was very hot and made it an uncomfortable experience.

    This place is our go-to Greek restaurant in the Lawrenceville area. Never once had anything that…read morewasn't delicious. We've had a good number of the menu items: gyro platter, Greek pizza (our favorite), kofta kabob, adana kabob platter, stromboli, spanakopita, dolmades, baklava (both walnut and pistachio), chicken sumac...and probably others I'm forgetting. We order takeout most of the time. In addition to our main order (usually a large Greek pizza), we usually get a pound of the gyro meat, half-pint of tabouli, half-pint of hummus, spanakopita, and baklava. The service is unrivaled. The owners recognize us when we come in and remember our favorites, including the fact that my housemate can't eat bell peppers, so they know to leave it off the pizza. Can't say enough good things about it, honestly.

When I walked in there was a young guy cleaning the floor and he did not speak, didn't even look up from what he was doing. When I walked up to the counter where the menus were, a lady came out from the kitchen and greeted me. It took a few minutes to decide what I wanted because they have an extensive menu. I settled on the grounded lamb or lamb kabob, as she called it and a mixed nut roll. I waited about 15 minutes to get my food. There are plenty of seats and tables and a tv if you want to dine-in. I decided to eat my meal in the car. The lamb kabob was good but it wasn't as flavorful as I anticipated. It was missing some kind of spice and I couldn't figure out which one. It does not automatically come with the Greek sauce which was disappointing. The mixed nut roll was SO GOOD! It reminded me of an almond joy with a flakey crust. I will come back to try other menu items but I probably won't get the lamb kabob again.

    As a frequent eater and lover of Afghani food, this place was excellent and I've been here 3 times…read moreeven though it's quite far from me. Kabuli pillow (possibly wrong spelling) was the highlight, and best in town. In fact, it was so well prepared that we came back specifically from it. They claim to be the first and best afghani restaurant in town - and honestly this checks out. They have great starters/sharables too, best for me is always the betinjan (eggplant). I like the Mantu as well, but tbh, had much better mantu elsewhere. The highlight is the pillow. Just go there! Ambiance wise - very family friendly. Simple and quite interior, nothing fancy, great for families or parties who don't want much noise and just want to eat and enjoy a conversation. Great service as always.

The prices seemed fairly reasonable. Customer service was friendly and attentive. I opted to order the chicken kebab plate, and it was quite tasty. The portions were a bit smaller than expected, and the rice was slightly bland on flavor, but I enjoyed the chicken kebab and the garlic yogurt sauce. The cucumber salad was refreshing, and was a nice addition. The green chutney sauce was alright, but a little watery in texture. We had to eat quickly due to scheduling constraints, but they were quick with providing takeout boxes, and sauce cups to take home with our leftovers. Overall, a solid place to get some great Afghan food.

Great selection of Middle Eastern goods; was happy to see دبس فليفلة which I haven't seen since I was in Syria and where it is made by the barrel in homes to last the year. The deli also manages good shawarma and the hummus is so delicious! I wish they were more generous with the side of it in the plate (was less than half full). The salad was tasteless; no salt/spices, nor dressing. A previous visit I purchased two cakes: one carrot and the other chocolate. The carrot cake didn't have any carrots in it (looked, but didn't taste like traditional carrot cake), and the chocolate cake wasn't good at all (bitter) except for the frosting. The 'espresso' based coffee was lukewarm and tasteless. The person put condensed milk in it which made it worse but he did remake it without charge. He kept calling me, mama, which was unsettling to me. I have a son less than half his age. I gave only 3 stars because of the overall ambiance and the discourtesy and unfriendliness of the staff. I didn't realize it, but nothing can be returned after two weeks; the manager, however, kindly did return three items.
