Definitely one of my favorite cava locations. Always pretty clean. Employees are fast and efficient. Ingredients are fresh.

Cava is probably one of my favorite quick bites to grab. I'm so glad there's one in sterling now. Perfect for grabbing lunch with some coworkers. For those of you first time cava eaters. This place is like a Mediterranean chipotle. You get in a line and create your own meal with the many options laid out in front of you. Honestly guys, everything here is good, you could get anything and be happy with it. I always get a different combination of foods every time. I've never been disappointed with this establishment yet. Will definitely be back! read more

CAVA - Grain bowl with spicy apricot dressing - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is the spot. Always delicious. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Any time we don't know what we want, CAVA is the answer. Love this place. Additionally, my wife has man dietary restrictions and the manager knew absolutely everything we needed to know. He was so kind and did not make her feel like a burden, as most places do when dealing with dietary restrictions. read more

I've heard good things about this place but finally came to try it twice now. Once by myself and I enjoyed it so much that I brought the husband along for the second visit. I was a bit confused on the process when I first came for lunch and this place gets pretty busy but its like the Mediterrean version of chipotle ordering as others have mentioned. For the price too you get pretty generous portions of food each time I struggled to finish my bowl but the food is super filling. We will most certainly be back here again. I might try the ordering through the app, and I did pick up a menu on my way out the second time I came just so I could be better prepared. I will say I won't likely eat here since I don't live to far away the seating set up in the dining room is kind of weird, and they have these natural sodas that I've seen at other quick dining establishments in DC and I'm not crazy about them either. So I'd rather get mine to go and enjoy a glass of vino with my food. :-) read more

Very solid Cava location. They always get our online order correct. The falafel is tasty and not too heavily parsley focused, as some are. The hot honey chicken has great flavor. A good number of toppings. My only complaint is the side pita that comes with the greens and grains bowl. It's very tiny and they have recently switched to a grain pita which is not as good as the original. read more

the food was okay. the customer service was pretty terrible. constant eye rolling, not listening to what i am trying to order, etc. it was also pretty dirty in the establishment as well. wouldn't recommend going to this location. read more

Don't think that you will place an order for pickup and get what you paid for. The greens were wrong and even though I paid for extra protein there was hardly any in the meal. Going in person seems to be the only way to get what you want. Save your money if you're ordering any form of Take Out. read more

3 stars for doing what they do- good food. 1 Star for cleanliness of this particular location. The server dishing up my food seemed more bothered by my presence than pleased... WTH!! As I sit here I see food on table tops and floor yet I am the only person sitting here. Bathroom which I used prior to ordering wasn't clean either. The manager or supervisor I think is sitting at another table going over some papers when he gets up, runs his hands through his hair and then goes to serve food. I'm shocked. Perhaps this is is just a miss but from the Cava experiences I've had elsewhere I have to say I'm disappointed read more

I should have just waited to get home and ordered from the one in Vienna. They gave me 2 pieces of chicken and not even half a scoop of rice so greedy and for what ? The bowl was $15 and you couldn't even fill it up halfway. read more

Super tasty bowls of Mediterranean flavors. Their fountain drinks are amazing seasonal flavors. Some of the seating has hidden power strips and coat/purse hooks. read more

This was my first time visiting a Cava restaurant. It's like a Mediterranean version of chipotle. You build a bowl or wrap with all of the options you choose to put inside. They have different meats, hummus and vegetables. The food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were really good too! They have fresh tonics/juices. Yum :) read more

What a great restaurant. I love all the lettuce and vegetable options. The food here is always fresh and delicious. The falafel is particularly good. White bean salad should be promoted to a year round option. The people demand more white bean salad!!! Staff at this particular CAVA location is friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong. read more

This has gotten to be my favorite healthy fast food place. Their pita chips are amazing and that blueberry soda is delicious.

Loved the concept here. It's basically like Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. The ingredients were very fresh and tasty. They need one of these in Texas. read more

Today was my first time. IT WAS AMAZING. Very delicious and clean. The staff were very patient with me which I am very grateful for because I am a little slow. Thanks for the amazing experience!! :) read more

Asked for corn which was seen in another container meant for online orders and I was told I couldn't get get it. Which is odd since the person making the online orders was using both the "in person" ingredients and "online." Then I asked for more yogurt dill dressing since they ran out when trying to give me it. Said there is no more left. As soon as I left I saw her replace it. The store was empty. We were the only customers so there is no excuse for this laziness. read more

I've been to the CAVA both in Sterling and Ashburn and have had a wonderful experience in both. The food is fresh, delicious, and healthy, not like the standard fare at fast food places. The Sterling CAVA used to be a little subpar but in the last few months any qualms I've had have been eliminated. It's clean and welcoming. It is a popular lunch venue so be prepared to wait a little if you go that time of the day, but it's worth the wait. read more

Wandered in here as my daughter told me it's "the healthy version of Chipotle"...it was so good! The employees were so helpful as this was our first time! They even let us try different meats! And yes the spicy lamb is very spicy!!! Will come back again!!! read more

The food I got was great but they messed up on the meat I ordered chicken and they gave me meatballs which I hate so i don't what happened today read more

I LOVE Cava, and due to a kitchen disaster, I have been eating there often for the past few months. Everything is a positive. I love the app, and building a bowl, or re-ording is quick and easy. It tastes healthy, and guess what--it actually is! You can go on their website and look up exactly how many calories each and every thing has, as well as salt, fat, etc. I love the grain and salad bowl (splendid greens and saffron basmati) with half falafel and half roast veggies. My husband loves the spicy lamb meatballs and the braised beef. Build you meal on the app, pay on the app, and then just walk straight up to the counter and take the bag with your name on it. Every meal is "named" so there is never any confusion. read more

Ordered mobile to go and was very disappointed! I am shocked at the positive reviews. Missing topping and the bowl was half filled. I asked for sauce on the side which the containers were stuffed inside my bowl- with the food...ew!!! Missing side pita, utensils, bag (ordered multiple items. Will not be ordering here!l read more

The best way I can describe CAVA is like a Mediterranean chipotle, but way better than chipotle. I stick with the greens and grain bowl, and of course the pita on the side. Their meats are very flavorful and seasoned really nicely, I also really love their seasonal veggies, always a great addition. They have these amazing "dips" you can choose 3 if, things like hummus, tzatziki, and my personal favorite "crazy feta" which has a little kick to it. You then add all these fresh toppings and pick from a huge selection of sauce. Another thing that I always look forward to is their huge selection of different juice flavors. Personal favorite is the mint watermelon! I highly recommend this place! You don't feel too guilty eating it either which is really the best part read more

Cava is probably my favorite resturant in the metro DC area. Its basically a fast casual chipotle style restaurant (bowl, salad,pita,ect) where you pick your protein and toppings but its mediterranean cuisine. I go here far too often but its too good to not indulge in for a quick meal. Its also relatively healthy depending on what you get. As far as protein goes the Spicy lamb meatballs are on point!! The chicken is always solid as well and not bland at all. Dip wise, my faves are Harrisa and tziaki, but a notable mention is the crazy feta. Also, if you get a bowl or salad ALWAYS get a side pita, its the best part IMO. The service here is usually quick and the staff is always friendly! Go check it out! read more

i love Cavazos but today i picked up an order from Sterling location and had to through most out. The super greens were not really super greens i am used to - instead i got bunch of shredded green something so tough i couldn't chew through them.. awful. read more

There was no customer service. Ordering felt like I was inconveniencing the lady making my bowl. She up charged me for asking to add a little bit more protein because she barely added any. I said I didn't want a double portion and was charged as such. One bowl was $20.. Asked for the order "To-Go" and she gave me no bag either... The food is great, service needs work. read more

This place is great, especially for a vegetarian. I try to get here a few times a week. The staff have a great attitude, food is fresh and delicious. I'm addicted! read more

Food was cold . Had Cava before in Chantilly food was great there . This place was not . Employees did not look so happy to be attending customers . Will not be coming here again read more

Had CAVA for the first time today, wasn't too impressed. The lentils were hard, rice and meat were cold, with so many sauce/dip options the whole dish just becomes way too much. Let's not even talk about the drinks, no flavor whatsoever, strange combinations of herbs and fruits. Customer service was not pleasant either. Just skip this place. Update: after a couple of months I gave CAVA a second try, and was very pleased to find that the staff had upped their level of customer service and the food tastes much better! read more

Very good, as it always is with Cava. This location is better than the one in Ashburn in terms of the quality of how the meats are cooked and how fast the line moves. HOWEVER, the layout is absolutely terrible. They have tables basically right in the entryway area to the line, and navigating around all that is a hassle. Then, for the seating area in the back, they have tables directly under vents so you can actually feel the cold air conditioning blowing right down on you. The Bose speakers were up way too loud also. Overall, great food, but I hope they fix the layout and atmospheric problems for diners-in. read more

The food is always great, but the people were rude at this location. I hadn't been to cava in a long time and was super happy to be there. Such a bummer they all seemed mad. I asked a question and they acted like I was bothering them. I thanked the guy at check out and he just handed me the food. read more

This is the better Mediterranean Chipotle. So many great meat options and everything tastes freshly made. If you can handle spicy, I absolutely recommend the harrisa. This location has seating but not as good as the one in ashburn. Still totally worth the visit. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

So happy Cava is expanding and has more locations now, especially one within 5 minutes of where I live! There's never a line, unlike the Tyson's or Ashburn location, which I've waited in for upwards of 20 minutes before. I always order online just to avoid that person who is ordering for their whole family, or the worst, a newbie who overthinks or wants to try each and every option. My order is always correct and ready at the register as promised. read more

Went in just before 1:00 on a Tuesday for lunch. Had read the yelp reviews so my expectations were a bit jacked up. Nevertheless it was a good experience. Reviewing the web site for nutrition numbers is a good idea. Some of the options are loaded with salt. I chose spicy options (harrisa, spicy lamb meatballs, spicy turmeric tahini) over greens and brown rice with picked onions, cucumbers, tsatziki, and crazy feta. I also really liked their tea and drink selections. Refreshing without sugar overload. Good value. Wide choice of flavors and spices. I'm giving three stars as compared to a full service restaurant, but as a stand in line and build your meal place Cava stands very tall. read more

It's like a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. Wasn't a fan of the braised duck, but I did like the grilled chicken. Everything tasted fresh. But I felt like I got skimped on the rice. Other than that, very delicious and the bread was nice n soft :-) read more

It's expensive but the food is amazing and the service is awesome. Victor helped us at today's visit and he was very nice. Made fresh pita chips for us ( our favorite). Overall very happy with the food and service. read more

This is a go to for my fiancé and I. I work around the corner so I stop in on my way home since there isn't one in the Reston area. The food is great and I love the variety. I only had one bad experience out of the many times I've ordered and it was the first time I ordered online. My sister picked up the order and I ended up getting the wrong meat and sauce. Not a huge deal considering I've had far more great experiences with them. When I returned to let them know they took care of it and made me another for free. I highly recommend this place. read more

I am a huge lover of CAVA. I crave it and lately seek it out on a frequent basis. It always tastes amazing and has me coming back for more. I always get the super greens and brown rice with chicken or braised beef or falafel. All great options. There's an assortment of toppings, and my favorites dips are the harissa (spicy tomato pepper paste), the roasted red pepper hummus, and the crazy feta. You can also get a warm mini pita on the side with your bowl. My favorite dressing is the tahini on the side. Ingredients are also locally sourced from sustainable farms and taste great/filling for being so healthy. My SO and I also always opt for the beverages - the fresh homemade seasonal juices are so delicious. I love the grapefruit mint raspberry (my all time fave), strawberry mint lime (my SO fave), and hibiscus green tea. You can actually watch them using fresh strawberries to make their juice. Also great fountain soda options from Maine Root (blueberry or the lemon lime soda also yummy). Finally the service is amazing - fast, helpful, and courteous. Go to Cava but especially the one at Sterling. read more

Stopped going to Cava for a while and tonight's experience reminded me why - my falafel tasted like old oil and the bowl overall was lacking in flavor. I used to love Cava and recommend it to whoever would listen but, imho, it hasn't been the same from a flavor perspective in quite some time. read more
