This was amazing food. The service was fantastic, and the food was so good. I appreciated that they have allergy listed, so if you have dairy, nut, or sesame allergy, etc you can know what specifically is in each ingredient as you make your bowl. Their saffron rice was so good! The lady was making me and my friends bowl at the same time. I wanted the dill yogurt dressing, and she thought my friend said it on hers. She offered to make the whole thing over again, but my friend was fine trying it out. She said if she didn't like it, she would be happy to make it over. Even the drinks were great! They had some interesting and flavorful selections. I really enjoyed the blueberry lavender one. Even the soda were made with the real can sugar, and had some wonderful flavors. I'm so excited to hear that we are getting this in Jacksonville! read more

I've gone here multiple times...alive gotten it delivered and picked up food omw to work...and today is the first time that I've ever been this disappointed!!! I placed a delivery order...and the food was cold! I mean COLD COLD!! Like the rice was Freakin COLD! Also...the way they plated it...the out the greens on one side of the bowl and the rice on the other! Like HOW?! Since when?! It's a BOWL...it should just be layered! This was SO disappointing! The only positive was the New beverage! It's tangerine something! Other than that!!! I'll putting them on PAUSE!!! I'm cool on this!! Especially in this economy! Wasting my damn money! read more

Don't live in this area but the bowl was good! They give a lot for the portion and everything was fresh. The space is clean and nice with the wooden aesthetic. Lots of seat, very chill. read more

Yummy yummy. I wasn't too hungry so I decided to get a kid's pita and it was the perfect portion size for me. It comes with your choice of dip and salad or rice plus protein and toppings. I recommend the tzatziki sauce. read more

CAVA - Kids Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This was my first time at Cava, and it lived up to the TikTok hype! Cava is a Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant with a focus on healthier options. I ordered a bowl with rice, salad, spicy honey chicken, various vegetables, and their signature Caesar dressing. It was both tasty and healthy. The crispy, buttery pita chips were a standout, and the strawberry tea was refreshing and not too sweet. Definitely worth checking out! read more

CAVA - Kids meal with chicken, rice, tahini sauce, tomato/cucumber salad and corn along with fried chips and roasted red pepper hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

One of our fave casual Mediterranean chains! This location provided larger portions and plenty of seating (compare to SD's location). We found the pita bread to be thin & stale and sauces to be on the more watery side than usual. Love the variety of toppings offered- I always ask to get a little of everything with extra pickled onions, fire- roasted corn, and kalamata olives. If you love garlic, would definitely recommend the creamy garlic dressing to top off your bowl! read more

Cava js amazing. But out of all the Cava's this one is the best because they give the best portions and the staff there practice the best hygiene. The employees there are also great and their food is cooked to perfection. So it's both quality and quantity. Sometimes there is a line but it's worth the wait. read more

CAVA - Super greens mix + white rice + a ton of veggies + chicken + lamb meatballs - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

been here almost 5 days in a row, gas every single time but it hits different when i got the pita chips on the side ‍

I believe that they recently opened this Cava location and I have to say it's very convenient if you're in Terminal B and flying AA or Alaska! I stopped in one morning for late snack at breakfast time and got the kid's pita meal and it was really good and substantial enough to hold off the hunger, yet not be stuffed! Staff was helpful and friendly too. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

If I could talk to a manager I would, placed two orders today on the app stopped coming here about 2 years ago due to them screwing up my order a few times. Today they did it again, placed an online order, get there as the only person there. The lady who seemed a little confused as I was getting the order was there to hand me the food, 2nd order completely wrong once I got home, not only did they not give the sauce on the side but they added some spicy sauce that wasn't asked for all in the bowl. On top of that, it was supposed to be a veggie/falafel bowl but ended up with a spicy lamb meatball in the bowl. Never again will I come here read more

This Cava location is always clean and provides fast service! Parking could be a bit challenging if it's busy time of the day but if you don't mind walking around the area the whole place is nice to have dinner, take a walk, and grab a drink or two! read more

This is by far, the cleanest, quickest, and friendliest Cava I have ever visited. The ingredients are always fresh, the staff is always friendly, and the food never disappoints. The manager on duty, Michael, was extremely professional and respectful. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing staff, and the best customer service. The food is so fresh and the service is fast.

Next time you're at this location take notice of the employees. During our visit while waiting for our online order we noticed the girl using the same pair of gloves to tend to the register, make change, and make about 15-20 different online orders. We also noticed one of the guys cutting, handling, and storing stacks of pitas without gloves entirely. Don't ever come to this location if you want sanitary food. They need a surprise health inspection ASAP. read more

This is my go to lunch pick up since Match 2020 because its accessible to when I go to One Loudoun to walk my BC Tucker! Always great salad grains combo I practically could eat it daily like when I was going in to the Office in DC. TheCava in DC was my goto pré pandemic and glad this location opened up closer to when working from home! Fresh ingredients and staff is always pleasant! When weather is nice I eat outdoor seating and pick up when weather disagrees. I simply love Cava! read more

It's a Mediterranean Chipotle. CAVA is an eatery, where you build your own bowl of all the Mediterranean goods. It's a great concept that I hope we get someday in the Seattle area. My parents raved about this place and eat here weekly for lunch. And I can see why. What's not to love about building your own bowl with everything you want? The selection is good with different proteins, vegetables and grains and sauces. You also get a free mini pita with your bowl. Plus, it's healthy, so move over, Chipotle. I built my own bowl, and just went with anything that sounded appealing. I had a spring mix base with RightRice, which is a rice made from veggies and legumes and for protein, I did half and half of spicy lamb meatballs and falafel. I attempted to order a beet lemonade that I had learned about through Yelp; but sadly, they didn't have it at the time. I do like though that they had unsweetened teas for beverage options. Everything tasted light, healthy and delicious. Of the proteins, I liked the spicy lamb meatballs and would recommend for anyone who likes lamb...and some spice. The falafels were A-OK, as they were a tad over fried. Of all the spreads I had I enjoyed the harissa for just a hint of spice. But overall, my bowl was solid and even had leftovers. Though, it didn't taste as good the next day. So come here hungry! If there was a CAVA where I live you could count on me to be a frequent customer. I'm a fan of Mediterranean food and a build-your-own-bowl format at an affordable price, so this concept is definitely appreciated. Glad to have checked it out while in the area. read more

CAVA - The pita crisps topper was burned. - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

What do you do when the lines so long you wanna walk out the door??? Depending how bad you want it , you pull up your patience pants and you wait it out.. since I had this time to think, I started to wonder why they only had two people working the line during the middle of the lunch rush?! The young lady on the second half of the line had to not only bring your meal to a conclusion, she also had to ring people up. No fear, thankfully she changed her gloves every single time without fail. Let's get to the nitty gritty, or greens and grains, shall we? After all that's what you're here for. My grain bowl was worth the wait. No greens today since I ate them all for breakfast. I just love CAVA tho, all the ingredients are always fresh, the bar is always clean so it adds to the magnitude of freshness ( at least in your mind). It tends to be healthier than a lot of the other lunch time leisure you can choose from. I stop with the usual of a bowl with white rice, lentils, extra lentils, chicken, since I can eat the meat here and dang near all the toppings except for the radishes. Drizzle on some of that vinaigrette and we are golden! I do like that the young lady on the front of the bar asked upfront if I wanted a pita, instead of me having to ask for it. Last and definitely not least, as if good food is not enough. Those juices, those juices will get you right!!! I played mix master drink easy a bit today and mixed the Strawberry Mint Lime with the Classic Lemonade, that was a good bet! Once I drank that like there was not drop left to drip out my cup, I grabbed some Root Beer for the road. CAVA stays on my mind and heavy handed in my rotation of old faithfuls, ever flavorful lunch spots. read more

Cava is certainly fast and tasty, the location is great, however the food constantly has temperature problems (meat should be hot, come on), the employees are beyond miserable, and there is certainly a lack of qualified management. If you are interested in having Ratatouille cook your meal, look no further, because the management at this location are either cheap, lazy, or foolish. https://inspections.myhealthdepartment.com/va-loudoun/inspection/?inspectionID=534AFB89-3919-4AE5-860D-F9FC2E43D4D7 (Review the records for Jan 2022) Do yourself the favor and just eat at the Ashburn or Reston locations, avoid Sterling until management changes. read more

I've been coming here frequently for years and they've just started skimping on the meat, to the point that I don't feel full or satisfied after eating here anymore. I usually get the lamb which is almost a $3.00 up-charge, too, and they skimp on that as well. I am charged $14.23 for a rice bowl with no more than 2-3 bites of meat in it! Lately the service has been suffering, too. Employees fill out online orders from start to finish while you wait with a half-filled bowl, and the last two times I've been here I've had to wait about 20 minutes to get my food when only 4-5 people were in front of me. Ridiculous. Sometimes the employees act like they're paying out of pocket when filling your bowl with toppings, and I've had them add no more than a SINGLE 1-inch diameter mini-cucumber slice when I politely ask for "a little more, please." This chain has seen better days. They're stingy now. Avoid at all costs. read more

Eating in is great, but don't ever order for pickup. Orders are never filled correctly or bowls are only half full. The last straw for me was paying for the unpcharged lamb meatballs and not receiving a single meatball in my bowl. Sorry Cava. Five strikes and you're out. read more

CAVA - Greens and grain bowl missing lamb meatballs. - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Came here with M and her little ones. We love CAVA and were so happy to hear they opened one in Sterling. This may be the closest location to us now. Love the concept of this place. Upon entering, stand in line. This place has a similar assembly line as Chipotle. Employees are friendly and quick. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is clean and organized. Step 1: Choose a base. Pita, Rice Bowl, Mini Pitas, or Salad. Step 2: Choose up to 3 spreads/dips. They offer Tzatziki, Hummus, Eggplant & Red Pepper, Crazy Feta, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and Spicy Harissa. Step 3: Choose a protein. Chicken, Meatballs, Lamb, Falafel. Step 4: Choose a dressing and as many toppings as you'd like. Some toppings include, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, feta, lettuce, olives, mint, lemon, pickled onions, yogurt dill, lemon herb tahini, Greek vinegrette. Step 5: Enjoy! Yum :D read more

Great food, but I've experienced some rude service at this location. They also don't offer the free pita to you. You have to ask, which is a bit annoying. read more

I have been to many cava locations and this is one of the worst ones. My bowl was half way filled and it was missing the cabbage as well as the cucumber at tomato topping. This location definitely skimps out on food. When I walked in the staff was not very friendly and was just staring at me. When I asked for a bag one of the staff members rolled thier eyes. I will definitely not be visiting this location again. I over payed for the amount of food I received and my order was incorrect. The worst part of the visit was how the staff treated me read more

This is one of my go to places when I eat out. It's not quite greek but a bit fusion with mostly greeklike influences. As a vegetarian, I like the choices available and usually get the greens/grains bowls. I've tried most every combination and there is nothing bad. For this location, used curbside and was shopping in a nearby mall and ordered using their app (which is a bit spotty sometimes). I was able to get my order for pickup in under 15 minutes and when I drove up it was a bit unclear where to park since it's right at the entrance of a busy retail complex. Called the number on the receipt and had them drop it w/in 2-3 minutes. Fast, easy and painless. Their portions were generous and everything was fresh. read more

Cava is one of my favorite fast casual restaurants and I was thrilled to find this nearby location after moving to Herndon. I ordered a salad bowl with 2x falafel, tzatziki, cucumber, tomato, and pickled onions. My husband ordered a greens and grains bowl with eggplant. Harissa, skhug, chicken, falafel, hummus, and lemon herb tahini. We both agreed that this location gave great portions of proteins (other locations skimp) and dips and perfect amounts of sauce (others overdo it sometimes if you don't ask for it on the side). And our orders were 100% accurate! We'll definitely be returning! read more

I am a Cava fan ! It never disappoints! It's healthy, nutritious, yummy, fast and inexpensive ! What better it can get! I always get the half veggies half falafel grain bowl with brown rice and lentils. It tastes amazing every time and I don't even know how many times I have eaten over here! Sometimes, may be at the closing time at night, the taste doesn't feel so fresh but then it's understandable or something to work upon, I don't know! Since last couple of weeks, I feel their veggies are not that fresh. The mushrooms taste stale and not done properly. There is a scope to improve in that area. Other than that, no complaints at all! Keep up the good work and may be try introduce some more toppings once in a while! read more

This was my first time trying Cava and many people recommended it to me for good reason! I can't believe I waited this long to try it. I love mediterranean cuisine and the concept of unlimited free toppings is so rare. The food tasted so fresh and healthy and the quantity was HUGE especially for the price! I like that the calories are listed and you can customize your bowl or pita or ask for a pre-made recipe! The service was also really fast and the woman making my food did not skimp on any of the quantities. I will definitely be back read more

I tend to love the restaurants where go down the line and tell them what you want type places. This one certainly doesn't disappoint. While I have been to other Cava locations this one is just as good. This is like a Mederterranean version of Chipolte. So you start with a base, pitas, salad or bowl with rice. I chose the pita, and then you get to add spreads. Tons of spreads! I added hummus, roasted red pepper and Harissa! If you like spicy make sure to get the Harissa! It was soooo good! For my protein I love the grilled meatballs! They are amazing! I am not usually a meatball kinda gal but these are really good. I added a bunch of toppings as well at the end of the line. My pita was amazing! I will be back for sure! read more

The food here is delicious. Great service, too. They had my food ready 5 minutes before the order time. They even thanked me for coming and walked me through the process. Inviting atmosphere. read more

Cava is such a healthy Mediterranean cuisine restaurant that provides various sources of protein. It is a very fast pace restaurant, so the food is constantly being prepared and fresh. You are able to customize your bowls/ breads by choosing greens, grains, or both. It is so yummy and I highly recommend you go if you haven't. This restaurant had floor mats that reminded us to stay 6 feet apart and all the employees were wearing masks. I get the greens and grains bowl and customize it however which way you please. They give you pita bread as a side and ultimately is one of the best feel good restaurants for lunch and/or dinne. read more

Chipotle concept but Healthy~Clean~Mediterranean Bowls/Salads/Pitas/ Grain & Salad options I placed an online order from my phone while staying at one of the local hotels. I was happy with their site as it was very user friendly and allowed my to place my order in advance, and hour and a half out. When I walked in I was greeted with a smile, my order was ready and correct. The bowl was delicious, had tons of flavor and I really couldn't have gone wrong with any of the humus choices. They were all delicious. Cava is a great choice for those that may want to try something different as they give you many options to add items sauces and or dressings to your dish a no additional charge! BIG WIN! They do not nickel and dime you here. All of their DRESSINGS and SAUCES are amazing! Many vegetarian options as well as a little something for everyone. This store is in a great location and located next to great shopping and a few nice little bars. Enjoy! read more
