    There's plenty of space inside and some seating outside to eat. They definitely blast the AC so it was super cold inside. The food was good, I ordered the self-made bowl. It looked like a mess, but it was really good. The service was fast. They were nice and accommodating. Definitely try CAVA if you want something quick and healthy!

    I am a huge Cava fan. They have a great product and I would eat here every day if I could. The food is delicious, they have a great fast system and it is relatively cheap. I can't wait for them to open up a location back home in California.

    Kinda of unepic. I was really looking forward to trying CAVA because I heard great reviews. I ordered online and my meal was ready for pick up when i arrived. There is ample parking space which is shared w QDOBA (I should've got that) I thought I was supposed to get the famous pita chips, but didn't. The food wasn't really worth $16 a plate. I think the prices are more online. Space was bright and clean. I don't think I will try again, maybe in desperation.

    Cava is life. Well not life but one of the things that makes life worth living. I always make my own bowls. My favorite proteins are the Spicy harissa chicken or braised lamb. I go dumb with toppings and add a tad of every sauce. The fried pita chips are addicting and I usually finish those on the car ride home. I hate almost every location near me tho. Always packed and finding parking is hell but I get it. Eating cava weekly is a lifestyle most won't get.

    Enjoying my meal @Cava, both the food and service was great!

    Cava is chipotle on steroids only Mediterranean style'. It's a bit pricier but it's worth the value , service is like you'd expect from any fast food joint, friendly and efficient. Ambiance - its fairly clean and modern looking, quite spacious but I did see a little sauce on some tables. Food is excellent , I loved the hot honey Harrissa chicken , sweet and savory , pairs very well with the pickled veggies and other toppings. I tried my brothers spicy meatballs and falafel , everything was delicious . Would return in a heartbeat

    I've been to CAVA in St. Petersburg, FL twice now, & I'm officially a fan! First time I stumbled upon it because I was heading next door to Bolay, but Bolay is closed on Sundays. Lucky me. I heard about CAVA newly opening, but never tried it. This place has a Mediterranean flair to it in terms of flavors. It was the Zoe's, but this time it's like a Bowl and Pita style. You pick your toppings or you choose from a some of their options. There are a lot of options here. First, do you want a bowl or a pita? Then, pick your base. You can pick from different types of rice, lentils, greens. Then pick your dips to go with it. I like the eggplant and red roasted hummus. Some of them are spicy some are not. Pick your proteins. I've tried their chicken, beef meatballs, and falafel. Pick your toppings. They have lots of different ones too. And lastly a sauce you may want on top. I often ask for them on the side just in case. My fave is the balsamic date vinaigrette. I've tried their crazy feta and their garlic sauce. Service is nice to explain the toppings when you ask. They have signs which are a bit too wordy. The signs to identify the toppings would be more helpful if they were right next to the actual topping. They have different types of juices and different types of cookies. They also have a loyalty program as well through their app. The ambiance is minimalist. It would be nice to have more decor. They do have nice shaded outside seating and the inside tables are spacious. I will definitely be back. Their bowls can't be beat for just over $10 for all of the options and all of the flavor. CAVA bowls are definitely a stand out!!

    jax if that's his name blonde middle part guy was the best worker i've ever met in my life such a great dude made me have the best experience ever helped me with my order a ton and made me have an overall great experience

    Build your own bowl with braised lamb, and a cherry soda.

    ***DO NOT PARK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL!!!***…read more my wife and I had reservations at 7 and it was jam packed. we weren't sure where to park, the high school parking lot was open and full of cars so we thought this was overflow parking. we finished our meal and came out to the gates of the lot around 830pm Saturday night (03/07) and they were locked up. The tow company listed on the sign said they do not service the gate. We didn't see any security. We went back to Cybel and they weren't aware that that would happen. We had to uber home. Thankfully there's a Sunday market we will go back in the morning to pick up the car. Other than that, food was great. Service was fantastic. It's BYOB if you plan on drinking.

Nathan our server was well informed and gave good suggestions , he is familiar with the food. They have influence from Morocco in the decor, the music and the spices they use. There are few vegetarian options with the exception of the salads and a sampler platter. I did not see any vegan options. The sampler plate gives you a taste of many things, however, so much of the food is wheat based and more than likely sourced from the US not Morocco.. US uses a lot of glyphosphate and GMO in the wheat. And it is difficult to digest. One of the people in our group had the chicken Angie and said the chicken was good.. it was served with French fries and they were not good. Most likely not made in house. If you have never been to Morocco it may be a nice place to try. The mint tea is nice. I did not have any dessert.

    This was my first trip to Allelo, a Mediterranean-Aegean restaurant…read more I was in town for business and arrived solo. I was greeted by Carolina, a very confident and friendly hostess. I told her I wanted to sit outside so I could have dinner and read a book with a glass of wine. She told me it would be about 20 minutes and suggested I go to the bar. Once inside, I was greeted by Corey, who entertained me with a vibrant wine list and a quick tasting before selecting a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. As my wine was being poured in a delightfully elegant wine glass... Carolina told me my table was ready. They put me in the perfect spot for people watching. My server was Rachel, who shared the night's special offerings with great aplomb. I am not usually a Wagyu person, but I thought why not, yolo. I paired it with the cauliflower. But to kick things off,..I did the focaccia. The meal was so superb. I immediately texted a friend of mine and said we had to come back the following evening. Again with the Wagyu and the focaccia. Sue me, I'm a glutton for delight. My friend had the seafood linguine.... Which in keeping with the theme was exemplary. Our server for night two was Kyle... Who anticipated I ever need. We had a variety of martinis and ended the evening with a fancy coffee that included a rock sugar spoon. This is my new go to when I visit St. Petersburg. And did I mention Rachel gave me an awesome book recommendation? Thanks girl! If you're looking for somewhere really cool to go for curated cocktails, and exceptional food...This is the place.

The appetizers: Tuna tartare was nothing special it also didn't come with any bread or chip just plop on the plate. The goat cheese appetizer special was a small circle with oily crusted bread. One main course was 1/2 rack of lamb cooked perfectly and nice portion, Za'atar cauliflower nice portion didn't taste like Za'atar. Pasta dish had to add black pepper was ok. I must say the cucumber vodka soda spritzer was super refreshing!! The service was great, atmosphere, they really tried but must of had an off kitchen night.

    I love this restaurant so much whenever I go to Saint Pete. Truly one of the best Mediterranean…read morespots because it is always consistently dependable and reliable. They never really have "off" days, which is great because it's somewhere I can always bring friends and family. The atmosphere is honestly so great especially on the outside. You would think it would be too hot sometimes and too cold but they have lanterns that make it perfect in the winter and fans to make it perfect in the summer. It's truly one of the best maintained outside eating areas Because it's completely covered as well so that really helps the shade aspect. There's also a little section outside of the dining patio that serves as a little cocktail lounge area, which is adorable. if you wanna find somewhere that you could eat outside with your elderly grandma, this is a great place because they really do everything they can to make it as comfortable as possible for those hot Florida summers. They also allow dogs to come in, which may be a plus or a minus for some people. if you go, the falafel is truly some of the best delicate crunchy falafel that I've ever had and all of the spreads and dips are incredibly delicious and consistent. Get their vegetable crudite because it's the freshest, crunchies selection of watermelon, radishes, perfect Romain, lettuce, boats, crisp carrots. The main thing that me and my friends always say about this restaurant is that it literally reminds us how refreshing and satisfying actually healthy food could be. I know that sounds funny, but we always sit down and say we should eat like this more at home! Haha. Great Greek wine list in addition to the Classics and nice cocktails. I genuinely don't have ANYTHING negative to say about this place, which is really really rare. lol. Also get baklava if you can.

The meats were good, but I think the cut of chicken was a little rubbery with tendons so I didn't eat too much of that. The small sausage roll sandwich (forgive me for not knowing the name and I can't find the menu online) was really good and we enjoyed it. Overall a nice spot. I would come back earlier in the day to see if that impacts the cut of the chicken or not.

The exterior of the building was nothing to brag about, but the interior was neat, well laid out, and clean. The owners of the restaurant were up front to greet dinners. The waitress was prompt and attentive. Mirage features a lunch buffet, so I was able to sample small portions of a lot of offerrings. My first plate was filled with selections from the cold salad station (hummas, pita, Persan picket, baba ganosh, etc.). The entree station had four different rice (balas) preparations. There was Basmati rice, a savory rice and two of the balas were sweetened with fruit and spices. All were tasty. The proteins were primarily chicken selections, but there was a beef koobideh that was also delicious. There were a broad selection of lentil and vegetable stews, so I made multiple trips to the station eating them as a side dish to a protein, over basmati rice and savory rice preparations. It may have been a cultural fax paux, but I treated the falafel like a cornbread muffin as I enjoyed the stewed vegetables and lentils. It was a good meal polished off with a serving of baklava.
