Very nice atmosphere and the staff here were top notch. It was recommended that this location is better than others. The food is prepared directly in front of you where all can see similar to Chipotle. The fried pita chips are worth it. *** Be aware adding extra meat on your order is $7. read more

We needed a quick work bite to eat that offered vegetarian and vegan options, and we're so very happy to have this Cava not too far away. I tried the Garlicky Chicken Shawarma for the first time and while the flavor did stay on my breath longer than my coworkers might have liked, it was delightful. The folks behind the counter were lovely and quick with our orders, keeping us moving for the busy work day. The location itself is a little small but has nice windows overlooking Connecticut. We got our orders to go, but this could be a good spot to people watch. read more

CAVA - Raw pink meat - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very paltry servings. Mentioned it to them, hoping for a little more rice at least, and they offered to charge me more. Disappointed.

Here's what I like about Cava. If I'm going to do fast food, Cava doesn't leave me feeling guilty. Fresh, Mediterranean, packed with flavors (harrissa chicken today), clean, I could go on and on. This is a nice Cava. Luckily they seem to do a lot of carryout business because they don't have nearly enough seats for all their customers. read more

I love CAVA!!! This location can be super busy depending when you come. I order online and pick up for faster service. Customer service always nice , food is great. Reasonably priced. I just wish they give you a bigger serving. Chipotle I get more but hey that's jus me being picky lol read more

I eat at CAVA a lot for lunch and it never misses. The food is always fresh, there are tons of good vegetarian and vegan options, and the staff is friendly and professional. The space feels open and welcoming, which makes it an easy go-to. read more

Happened upon this place because of the sidewalk sign with Gabby Thomas' pic that basically screamed eat here. So, I did. I tried to order the garlic chicken and veggies pita with 0 success. Perhaps, I was hard to understand, they were out of pita, or the pita person just didn't feel like making one. Plan B: ordered the spicy lamb + avocado bowl. Was amazing. Flavors were amazing and...it was crunchy even though there was nothing about crunch in the description. Soooo...I liked it so much that I got the same bowl again a second time 30 min later. I'm guessing Gabby Thomas does not do this. Will definitely go back. read more

CAVA - Harissa avocado bowl. Too much goodness to name. - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I love cava I always come 1 time a week specially the one at DuPont circle everyone is always so nice I love the food and service provided by the employees there. I went in today to get me a bowl, the manager the employee on the line are always nice!! Everything is always clean too. I will never get tired of cava!!! Highly recommend!!!!! read more

Came to order a bowl, asked for Arugula on the side because I didn't want it to wilt and was told I couldn't. When I asked why, the "manager" said we can only do two bowls. Then, she act as though she didn't understand English and refused to accommodate my request. I love CAVA, but I will not be returning to this one. read more

First time eating Cava. Not only was the food very good but what stood out was the exceptional service. Zuly helped orient me in terms of recommendations and even followed up with me to make sure I was satisfied with my food. Would greatly recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely be back! read more

Very delicious fast casual Mediterranean food! Expensive but enough food for a couple meals. Decor is sparse and staff are not very attentive, but the food speaks for itself! read more

CAVA - Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Pickup mix-up. I ordered lunch for my team for pickup. When we opened up our meals back at the office, there was a mistake with virtually every order. Salads had the wrong greens, they put in white rice instead of the lentils ordered and there was none of the pita bread supposed to have been included with our meals. Very disappointing. So much for giving Cava a try for group orders. I hate leaving anything less than a sterling review but hopefully this will encourage Cava to get their act together. read more

Came out to cava for lunch with a coworker and it hit the spot. The location had plenty of people but the service was quick and efficient. I built my own bowl with veggies and brown rice mix as the base. I chose the lamb and the falafel as my protein. And topped it with most of those delicious veggie options (tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onions and more). I also chose the regular hummus and the eggplant mix as my options too. I have come to this location twice and would def come back to this location. The lively lunch atmosphere was also fun if you enjoy that. read more

Delicious, convenient, with lots of seating, and friendly staff! Also, it's kid-friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite. read more

I was visiting DC for the night and knew that Cava was close to my hotel so there was no way I wasn't going to make my way there... I LOVE CAVA!!!!! I usually scarf my food down so fast that I never get a chance to take a picture. So I made sure to take 1 today.. I got the grain bowl with brown rice, chicken, tzatziki sauce, olives, cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes with lemon tahini sauce on top. It was soooo good!!!!! I almost went back for another plate.. I hate that Ga doesn't have this restaurant because I would be here every week. read more

We came here in a pinch after scrambling around during the evening. We thought that the bowls were fine but there's really not much to them given the price you end up paying. You're probably better off with chipotle. Travis' Rating Taste - 2.5 Quality - 1.5 Ambiance - 2 Overall - 2 Isabel's Rating Taste - 2.5 Quality - 1 Ambiance - 2 Overall - 1.5 read more

One of the best fast casual restaurants. The food is always amazing. This location is good and has indoor and outdoor dining.

Heathy Never Tasted So Good! I visited Cava (Dupont Circle) first time 9/28/19. Seeking a quick meal in the area. I ordered "Greens/Grains Bowl." Many options to choose from amongst Greens, Grains, Meats, Veggies, Spreads & Dressings. Mine included: white Rice, Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, Grilled Chicken, Red pepper Hummus, pickled onions, hummus & green harissa dressing. Wow it was Delicious-reasonably Priced $13 or so for a Giant Bowl w/Spring Water. (See Photo). Yes I'm as fan. Excellent courteous customer service. read more

Always jammed packed when I walk by during the lunch time peak weekkly, so I opt to come a little later when I can breeze through! Cava is a fast casual dining restaurant with great Mediterrean eats. Customizable bowls with allllll the fixings! I typically go for the grain bowl and add the greens last. Pictured is the Chicken Grain Bowl with pickled onions, baccage slaw, cucumbers, tzatziki, pita chips, shredded lettuce and Greek vinaigrette! The meatballs are my absolute fav!! I'm always torn between which protein to get so I tend to get the chicken or meatballs or half and half. I love them! The staff is super friendly, the establishment is clean and very inviting with the natural light that shines through. I do wish they had better beverage options. Or perhaps I am seeking something sweeter. Can't go wrong with the perfect bowl with all the perfect fixings to make you wiggle in your seat! read more

Excellent staff, very good service, excellent food, asked Fermina for a recommendation and she was a very excellent on suggesting and serving the food. The food was very fresh, I loved both the service and the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. You guys are making the difference on both the food and excellence on your service. I had visited other Cava locations but here I could feel that I was very welcomed. I can't wait to go back for another bite @ Cava. read more

I heard so many reviews about Cava but I must admit the food is definitely on point I love the atmosphere even though this is my first time I would go back again and it wasn't busy on a Friday around noon read more

CAVA - Make your own salad bowl from Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great lunch spots but the line gets long during lunch hours so be prepared. I got there just before 12 pm, and still managed to snag a spot on the corner. Then a few minutes after, people started piling in line in the middle. For today, I opted for the chicken, arugula, grape tomatoes, olives, tzatziki and roasted pepper sauces, maybe a bit boring to some but I enjoyed it for it was delicious and light! I like Mezeh better but I think they are the same company although Mezeh seems to have more offerings. When I get a chance to go to Fair Oaks, which is the convenient location for me, I'd definitely ask the manager if they are the same hub. read more

I brought my entire volleyball team for dinner and they were super fast and the food was great! Beautiful location

This place is absolutely delicious. The customer service at this location is also great. I usually order online and they are good about having the order ready. If it isn't the manager is on top of things and makes sure the order comes out quickly. I usually order a pita with a side of rice. So far I have tried the Grilled Chicken and Grilled Meatballs for protein. I feel like I can't go wrong with any of the toppings, dips or spreads. The food there pairs very well. I love the cabbage slaw and the pickled onions because they give my food a unique taste that I don't find anywhere else. The diced cucumber gives the food a fresh taste that I think adds a feeling of freshness. I'm really looking forward to my next trip because the braised lamb and the falafel look delicious. Either choice I know I won't be disappointed. Lastly the juices are to die for. They're refreshing and taste so good. I can't get enough of the watermelon/mint. I may sound like I'm exaggerating but this place is really that good. read more

ABSOLUTELY disgusting food!!! They forgot 1/2 of my order and didn't include utensils or a straw. No one returned the two voicemails that I left. Thankfully Uber eats issued me a refund. read more

i love love love the service and the food here, i would definitely going again. the ambiance is amazing.

Pros: promptness when ordering online. If you order for 12:15 it will be ready right then. They actually including all the dips and the vegetable quality was great. Cons: I got a grain and greens bowl but it was 80% greens and 20% grains. I really love the grains so I was sad at how little there was. read more

I love CAVA! It's like the Chipotle for Mediterranean food! I like doing the half salad/ have grain option and doing the mixed greens and white rice bowl. I usually get chicken. You can get 3 toppings of hummus! Be aware of the super hot red ones. They're HOT. The sundried tomato one is my fave. You also can get any of the toppings!! I usually top off my bowl with the green sauce. Portions are usually generous and I always ask for a side of pita bread! read more

Half way through my meal and a friend of mine found a whole stink bug in her food. She got a refund and a compensated meal of choice for next visit (next visit, ha!). Thanks but no thanks. Talk to you in a little bit, corporate. see photo* read more

As I was seeing a friend off to her home in California yesterday, we went to Cava at Union Station for dinner. While things have changed drastically at the Station, the staff at Cava have remained friendly and courteous, responsive and helpful -- and the food is consistently good. It's a bit sad to see the station being so bare (especially the lobby), but Cava and its staff and some of the other restaurants make up for it read more

I love Cava--it's my favorite relatively healthy fast casual restaurant in the area. Also, this used to be my favorite Cava location in the DC area--pre-Covid, I would come at least once a week. That's why I was so disappointed yesterday to find that my food (especially the pita, the falafel, and the meatballs) was so DRY! I really can't emphasize enough how dry and unappetizing these were. Also, what is going on with the harissa sauce/dip? It was chunky, dry, and didn't taste normal (though I have to say I noticed this in another nearby location as well--not sure if they changed the recipe overall, but I would not consider this an improvement). Lastly, the brussels sprouts were not cut properly--the stems were not fully cut off, so they were difficult to eat. Overall, I'm not sure what happened at this location recently, but these changes are not for the best. read more

I love CAVA! They need one where I live! I could eat this everyday! Love the concept! The flavor! Endless options.
