    Kids meal with chicken, rice, tahini sauce, tomato/cucumber salad and corn along with fried chips and roasted red pepper hummus
    Matt R.

    CAVA is a great fast food Mediterranean restaurant with all the healthy options you'd like. The service is fine and moves you quickly. I like the rustic atmosphere of the CAVA restaurants. The kids meal is plenty of food sometimes.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    My favorite post workout spot is CAVA. I enjoy the chicken bowl. The chicken always taste fresh. There are so many toppings to select from and I love the spreads they offer.

    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!

    Clean location with quick service! I ordered online & my food was ready to go in 5 minutes. Portions were generous and everything tasted great. Staff was friendly also.

    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!

    Build Your Own Bowl w/ Tea

    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.

    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!

    The pita crisps topper was burned.

    Good bowl except for the overcooked pita crisps. Hard to believe the employee thought it was acceptable. ‍ Sterling, VA location evening of 5/15/23.

    Stumbled upon this gyro spot that had a lot of classic Greek food. My girlfriend had a sore throat…read moreso we got the lemon chicken soup which was light, citrus and very yummy. The gyro was massive and packed full of meat and also very good. Paired with their fries and potatoes (which were heavily seasoned and absolutely amazing) made for a super filling and tasty quick dinner. One of my new favorite spots for gyros in the DMV! Entrees: Gyro Pita Sides: Roasted Greek Potatoes and Avgolemono (Lemon Chicken Soup)

    BLUF: After all these years and several locations later, Big Greek Cafe still delivers good food at…read morea decent value. The service at the Sterling location on the day I visited was excellent. Friendly, patient, helpful, and polite. The feel of the location itself is your typical fast-food joint. Get in. Get out. Seemed clean enough. Not very cozy as in a great place to hang out. Not sure how it is during peak hours but the parking lot might get a bit crowded. The street for sure is busy & can cause cars to back up into the parking lot. The food, while not as awesome as I remembered it 5 years ago in MD, is still tasty. Today's visit, the meat in gyros was a bit dry & the gyros & the side of fries I paid full price for were rather skimpy in serving, given that the gyros used to be served with fries included in the price of the gyro. Still, the fries & the gyros still taste good. Not as good a value as in days of old...even on $7 gyro Wednesdays (which used to be $5 gyro Wednesdays). The fried fish sandwich was a good deal in these horrible economic times because it comes with a good-sized filet and fries. Although, $2 extra for Greek fries that only had a tablespoon of garlic, dry herbs, and feta crumbles tossed on top rolling off the fries then pooling at the bottom of the container. The garlic, herbs, & feta are supposed to stick to piping hot fries steaming with the awesome garlicky oil. What I received was really underwhelming and didn't even come close to the Greek fries I remember. So, I'll preface this review conclusion with this: Big Greek Cafe was one of my absolute favorite local joints... the food made me drool just thinking about it. The food was always plentiful in servings, hot, fresh, aromatic, wonderfully delicious, and everything on the menu was such a good value, you'd end up buying a ton of food. Was this trip worth the drive? Glad the curiosity about whether this VA location equaled the MD experiences was satisfied. Probably no longer high on my list to go out of my way to drive 30 minutes to get what used to be my fav sandwich. It seems a little too fast-foodsy, mass-produced now than the original delectable hole-in-the-wall local joint. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely pick up something because it's still tasty...just not as fantastic as I remember.

    Actually well priced delicious, and healthy, vegan and vegetarian food. I got a black bean burger…read morewhich despite basically being the texture of chili was really really tasty and I'd totally get it again, and I got a strawberry muffin (99¢) which was also vegan and tasted great. Can't believe I'd never been here before.

    Vegetarian and Vegan never tasted so good…read more Yes it's organic, it's naked, it's good for you and me and I actually felt myself getting energized with every bite and sip. Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8.

    Sorry, but that's the blandest, flattest, tasteless food I've ever eaten, Mexican or otherwise…read more Zero taste. Could have been eating paste. Tacos: flat. No spice, no flavor. Enchiladas: ditto. Paste. Wifey says their breakfast burritos are good. Not sure I'm in any hurry to try.

    So I didn't even know this place existed. I was heading to my go to pho spot and I saw this place…read morenext door so I did what we Yelpers do and I went to see if there were any reviews and there were ... and it was an overall 5 star rating with a good 18 reviews ! I HAD TO GO TRY IT! Upon entering I was immediately greeted and given a moment to review the menu on the wall. The cashier was super friendly and helpful and answered all the questions I had. I decided to go with a small order of chips and queso and the shrimp fajita avocado salad. I was given my chips and salsa and given a buzzer which would identify me when my salad was ready. In the meantime I visited the salsa and accompaniment bar where there were tons of fresh salsa and veggie options. The chips and queso were BOMB! My salad was ready in about 10 minutes and the cashier brought it to my table which was super nice. That salad seriously looked and tasted like something that should and would be in a fine dining Mexican restaurant ... the shrimp were plentiful and plump and tasted as though they were truly seared on a fajita flat top along with the peppers and onions. It came along w a side of ranch and for this ranch lover to not have even used the ranch tells you just how flavorful this salad was! Everyone dining in the restaurant was so so so into their meals that I had to giggle because I was too and we all had not one care in the world. Although the restaurant itself is smaller and casual it truly gives off big dog legit Mexican fine dining! I will absolutely be back and / or ordering from Door Dash!

The flavors here are bold, fresh, and thoughtfully done, with a fun twist on classic Greek dishes. My go-to orders are the Medusa's Nest (seriously addictive), the Apollo sandwich (perfectly balanced and filling), and the Pegasus Gyro Wrap, which are hands down one of the most creative and delicious takes I've had on gyro meat. Everything is well-seasoned, portions are solid, and the ingredients always taste fresh. Service is friendly and efficient, and the vibe is casual but polished--great for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Greek Unique has earned a regular spot in my rotation, and I confidently recommend it to anyone looking for Greek food done right (with a little flair).

    Best Greek Food in the Area - Hidden Gem!…read more This place is truly a hidden treasure tucked inside an industrial complex -- a total hole-in-the-wall that you'd never expect to serve such amazing Greek food. It's a family-owned restaurant, and you immediately feel the warmth and hospitality. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently outstanding -- fresh, authentic, and clearly made with love. What really stands out is that they offer a surprisingly large variety of options for vegetarians -- from delicious veggie platters and flavorful dips to perfectly cooked sides and hearty meat-free mains. It's refreshing to find a Greek spot that treats vegetarian dishes with the same care as everything else. If you're craving real Greek flavors and don't care about fancy décor, this spot is an absolute must-try -- easily the best Greek food in the area.
