    Didn't eat here myself but my husband did, and he enjoyed his meal. I mainly popped in to use the restroom which was super clean, stocked, and easily accessible, always appreciated. Staff was friendly and the space felt fresh and well kept.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Unfortunately, the portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price, especially the chicken dish. We arrived at 5:45 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly, which was appreciated. However, we waited about 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. While our waitress wasn't particularly attentive, she did apologize for the delay in getting our food. The restaurant itself is cute, specially outside seating. One suggestion is that the tables are larger for two people. The table next to us requested another table to be moved over to hold their food and drinks properly. The pita bread didn't arrive until later in the meal, and while it was a nice addition, it didn't make up for the small serving sizes and lack of anything to dip it into at that point. I truly wanted to love this restaurant and leave a glowing review because the food itself was very good. Sadly, between the long wait, service issues, and portion sizes that didn't match the prices, the overall experience fell short of our expectations.

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.

This is a classic example of bait and switch and cost them a star. I went ahead and ordered a Gyro Platter ($14.97 with tax) choosing 2 orders of fries for my sides. I got my order to go because I was not too keen on the cheap tables. The floor and tables were also sticky, but since a lot of businesses in the area are recovering from hurricane damage I decided that I would not hold that against them, which I consider generous because this may be the norm here. UPDATE: after reading some of the other reviews I came to the conclusion that the lack of cleanliness I experienced IS the norm. If the dining area is so filthy I shudder to think how bad the food prep area is. So take away another star. The only nice things I can say are The fries were nice and crisp, and The meat was plentiful, thick, and flavorful, and providing warmed pita pockets on the side is a nice touch. BUT The onions were practically nonexistent and the tzatziki sauce was NOT tzatziki, it was plain yogurt. Looking over the menu it says tzatziki in one place and yogurt in another. This cost them two more stars. This was my first visit, and I was not impressed by the service, the bait and switch, the cleanliness, and the lack of traditional gyro ingredients. Having earned only 1 star means I won't be back.

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.
