So we were coming back from shopping and instead of going to Chipotle, we decided to try this place. The concept is pretty similar to Chipotle, but the ingredients and flavors are quite different. They have more meat options like shrimp, lamb, and salmon. Also around 6 different dips -- I really liked the spicy one. You can pick 3 out of 6, though the quantity is pretty small. Then all the usual veggies, cream, sauces, and toppings. I took the lamb while my wife got the grilled chicken. The lamb was really good -- 4 small circular pieces loaded with herbs and sauces. Overall, the taste was honestly amazing. What I didn't like was the staff attitude. I understand fast food places are busy, but instead of explaining the ingredients properly, they were rushing everything. Also, unlike Chipotle, they don't really give extra rice easily -- felt like I was asking for something premium And seriously... does no one maintain cleanliness in fast food chains anymore? Tables and floors were dirty, rice all over the place. Anyway, food was really good... experience, not so much, hence 3/5 read more

I was in pursuit for those d*mn "Peter Chip" plushie key chains. Unfortunately, they had run out, but with this trip I discovered that the Wayne CAVA is a really good location. All the staff were friendly and nice. I had asked them about the Hot Harissa Meal promotion and they let me know how quickly the plushies went, but they were cool about it. Fresh food, friendly customer service, and clean indoor and outdoor seating options at this CAVA! read more

Worst cava ever. Lynn (the manager) literally is just on her phone the entire time while there is huge line. Has to be the worst management I've ever seen. People moving in slow motion. So bad read more

I love CAVA. The salads are great and I think they are pretty healthy. It's a good option amid all the fast food restaurants. This CAVA seemed a little jumbled during the ordering process but the employees were polite. I usually order a salad with the braised lamb and the yogurt dill dressing which is very good. Always got the pita chips, they are great with the salad. The assortment of ice teas and lemonades are sneaky good as well. The price is about what you'd expect and the salad is pretty filling. Give it a try if you're in the area. read more

The food and service at this location is top notch! If you like spicy go for the Harissa dip. read more

Good food- good price- Inside dining- nice staff Across from the WB Mall We would go back again read more

Always come here whenever I'm craving something that feels refreshing and will still give me the protein I need for dinner! The line is usually long but it goes fast and the service is always good. The place has plenty of seating inside and outside! A great option when you're in somewhat of a rush but don't want a greasy fast food option read more

Smother me in crazy feta and garlic sauce please! I stopped by for a quick dinner and CAVA never disappoints. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. My bowl was very flavorful but I wish I got more pita. My go to order is half arugula with the basmati saffron rice, pickled onions, crazy feta, Greek salad, and roasted red pepper hummus. Always hits the spot! read more

I have ordered CAVA on several occasions but this was my first time going in. The service was not good at all sadly and the appearance wasn't hygienic. Got the black lentil bowl with braised lamb and chicken with several toppings and my daughter got a brown rice bowl with chicken , veggies and garlic dill sauce. After 2 bites I started feeling sick. Threw out the meal and ended up with food poisoning. No more CAVA for me. read more

Just your typical Cava, nothing fancy going on here. The food was great, i really have only had Cava once before so i wanted to stop in again. I tried their new spicy chicken as the protein and it was good. I love Mediterranean food and this is quick and delicious. Prices are reasonable for this sort of chain, it was about $11-$13/ bowl. The tables were kind of dirty but the restaurant was crowded and it seemed like they could have used another person or two on staff. Nothing to scream about, just your typical "fast food" place but its a nice healthy alternative. read more

I've come here multiple times now to pick up lunch and it's always delicious! The staff are kind yet efficient. When I order lunch, sometimes theres a line but they do a great job of keep it moving. The place itself seems clean and organized. This is a lunch spot I find myself eating from at least once a week! read more

My first time trying CAVA in Wayne, NJ and I wasn't sure what to order. Maria, who was making my bowl, was so patient, kind, and helpful. She let me sample different hummus options and even gave me her personal recommendation, which I ended up loving. The service was 10/10 and she made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Cava is a good quick dinner lunch option. I love all the dip options and get them all on the side so I can save them for next day if I don't finish the bowl right away. read more

Ordered: Custom Greens + Grains Bowl (~$15): SplendidGreens, Saffron Basmati Rice, Tzatziki, Traditional Hummus, Roasted Eggplant Dip, 1/2 Braised Lamb (+$3), 1/2 Grilled Chicken, Fire Roasted Corn, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Cucumber, Cabbage Slaw, Pita Crisps, Lentil Tabbouleh, Hot Harissa Vinaigrette, Yogurt Dill, and 1 Falafel to try Small Cucumber Mint Lime drink Aya's take: Second time at CAVA and I'm a big fan! I love the Mediterranean flavors and the endless ways you can customize a bowl. It's unbelievably filling and doesn't make you feel gross after since it's fairly healthy. I loved the grilled chicken and braised lamb. Both were super juicy, nicely seasoned, and went well with the rest of the bowl. The falafel is far from authentic and definitely not one I would get as my full protein choice - glad I got to try it with this bowl. Solid topping selection with a lot of vibrant colors. Super content with this meal and glad there's a few locations in NJ now! read more

I like you can built up your bowl. The food is good and fresh. Will come back to try other items

the staff at this CAVA are great. they're always friendly and helpful. Dani is funny as hell. Betsy, Gabriel, and Nixon are all chill too.

Joining the Cava train finally after hearing it so many times as the Mediterranean Chipotle. Anyone who knows me knows that I love these types of concepts. Blaze, Chiptole, Poke, you name it. Being able to choose and create my own personal tasty dish is just amazing. Although a bit more pricey compared to Chipotle (although getting a bit closer sadly...), they make up for it by having lots of fresh and flavorful ingredients. Personal standouts for me: (essentially their fried pita chips that when soaked just a little was super nice with everything elsle, the chicken, the tahini sauce), def will want to try all the sauces next time! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I tried Cava for the first time after hearing about it for a while. I normally eat bowls with protein at Chipotle or Q'doba, but I decided to go full vegan with my custom bowl. I also got a free side of pita bread & purchased pita chips to try as well. I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and filling the grain bowl was. The brown rice was really soft and cooked well. I did remove a star because the dip/ spread I selected for the bowl was missing. The pita chips tasted great and evenly seasoned. They were crispy on the outside & soft on the inside and not too oily. I can't comment on the customer service or the ambiance of this Cava because this meal was delivered to me. Overall, I do think this establishment is worth a try. I would definitely make a habit of eating here in the future. read more

First time at Cava and it was as delicious and fresh as my friends have told me! Only reason I knocked them a star is because in this location or particular time I came, all the servers were too busy having conversations and eating their lunch behind the counter to take my order. I waited a good 10 minutes and the line behind me got significantly longer by 3 more people by the time they finally took my order. That being said, the staff was friendly once they got to me and since it was my first time there, they were helpful at making recommendations for my order. My Harissa chicken/avocado without the spice was perfect! I also tried some of their hummus and their garlic dressing on the side and some Pita. The Pita was very soft and yummy. I gotta say, my bowl was packed with deliciousness in every bite! I will for sure be back, and maybe bump them up a star if their service improves! read more

CAVA - Harissa Chicken/avocado bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Terrible experience, maybe this place is getting too busy and they are unable to keep their consistent food quality. We could not even eat the food when we got home - it seemed liked someone dumped a whole salt shaker into the bowl. Very surprising since we have normally had good experiences here. read more

Considering this is my first time having Cava I wasnt sure what to expect. I ordered via mobile app for pick up. The food was good I will be coming back but there was something so terribly salty in the bowl that I feel like I've a salt burn on my tongue. I also noticed a couple of items I ordered missing from my actual bowl. Fortunately I dont think it was anything I paid extra for but if they were out I would have preferred to be told and not surprised since it was originally for to go. Overall it was good and I would go back. Just gotta figure out whatever that overall salty item was read more

Best Cava I go to hands down. An employee named Shameek always takes his time with my order and greets me with a smile. I wanna give him a big shout out! I appreciate coming for just his service. The food and ambiance is always great but the service tops it all off. read more

CAVA is my favorite fast casual place to eat. I discovered CAVA dips years ago when I went to a yoga event and I'm so happy that they are opening up new locations and this specific location is so close to me. Everything here is delicious and fresh! For the base - I usually get arugula, brown rice, & lentil. For the dips & spreads - you have up to 3 choices and I typically pick the harissa, tzatziki and crazy feta (don't forget your side of pita). For protein - the braised lamb is amazing but it is extra $, so I typically just get grilled chicken and honestly still so delicious because there is just so much flavor to the bowl after I ask them for all the toppings afterwards haha ;) For the dressing, I really like the Skhug, yogurt dill and garlic. You really can't go with anything wrong here, I'm obsessed. read more

The food is very good and the workers gave me a good service now I can't stop eating this food.

Terrible service. They might be busy but there's no need to be rude. The ladies doing the pick up/curbsode orders have 0 manners. They're rushing and messed up my order, along with the presentation of the food. I love cava but will not be returning to this location. Ridiculous. read more

I LOVE CAVA and was so excited to find one closer to me but gosh I have never been so disappointed. The service was another level of bad. The young man was moving so quickly that 1) he put items in the bowl that I specifically requested to remove as I cannot eat them 2) dropped half the product out from the serving spoons before it even reached the bowl (I have never received such an empty bowl... see picture ) 3) charged me for avocado that I didn't even order or receive. He was so incredibly rude when I asked him to remove the item (feta) that I cannot have. He also was rude when I asked for the pita (which I usually don't have to ask for..) and rudely tossed it in the bag not even in its proper wrapping. As of now (and I hope it was just a fluke) but would not return to this location. read more

very smooth experience customer service was great. It was a fun experience. thank you for everything you did

On 11/16/2024 The crew around 9:00 PM were great and super accommodating. Especially the two young men who were serving the food. They were fast, answered my questions on certain foods and best of all were very kind. I forgot the young man's name who served me my toppings but he was great. I'm a regular here and I will keep coming back! read more

Aiden was amazing!! it's my 2nd time head and everyone was so informative and so pleasant with huge smiles, I'll definitely be back!

Salads are always solid. Service, however, is spotty. Always check for side dressing and any extras because they are often missing from take out orders. This includes sides that were paid for. read more

Delicious, consistent food. But for a quick service place, the service is slower than molasses. Wait times of 40+ minutes for pickup app orders to 20+ minutes in person. They have 2 people making the food for the in person orders, which is a gross underestimate of the manpower needed for such a popular place. read more

my fav place to eat I come here all the time with my daughter and we had amazing meal

Let me preface that the food at Cava is actually dang tasty. I ordered Meredith's Spicy Lamb and the Chicken + RightRice and both were amazing. I ended up eating them hours after I ordered them and they held up really well. Portions are also crazy large! Easily can be split into two meals. The service was actually pretty disappointing. I asked if I could have a Meredith Spicy Lamb since I saw it on the Cava website. Both of the workers were really confused. It appears that there weren't recipe cards for this dish. However, they asked me to read the ingredients so they could make the bowl and they also took a picture of what the website advertised which was pretty nice. When I finished paying, I asked if I could have a bag. I was given a bag that a couple of grains of rice that were stuck on the bag. The worker opened the bag and then walked away. I was really confused because a) I was given a dirty bag b) there was no attempt or at least offer if I wanted to put the bowls in the bag. It was a bizarre experience to say the least. I would also to be careful when walking in the restaurant when it's raining out. I went during the weekend there was heavy rain, and I could feel my feet losing traction as I was walking towards the counter. The food at Cava is amazing and is definitely a must try, but the service I experienced towards the end was pretty dismissal. read more

My favorite place to go for real good food and the employees are so friendly. I highly recommend and they keep it so clean.

I used to com here a lot and always asked for extra rice and never used to get charged for it . I went last week and when I went to get my usual order the lady said that they would charge me extra for rice for each scoop or rice !! And said it was "policy" honestly I understand charging extra for avocado and meat . But for rice this place is a joke employees are also very rude read more

First time trying Cava and I'm definitely hooked. It was really good! I had a grain and greens bowl. Everything was very fresh. The rice was a long grain rice that was delicious. I got falafel and chicken for proteins. The chicken seemed to be a mix of dark and white meat and I wasn't a huge fan of it. Falafel was delicious. The sauces and hummus were good. The pita was so good! It was fried though so it was more like chips. I couldn't stop eating it. I had the Apple pineapple drink everyone talked about and that I thought was gross. Not sure what anyone likes about it! The chocolate chip cookie for dessert was so delicious. Can't wait to come back and try another bowl. read more

CAVA - Grain and greens bowl with side pita and cookie - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I stopped at this spot to get lunch. I ordered my food online and I got the falafel pita and it came to a little over $10. When I arrived I parked in the plaza parking lot. I walked in and the nice server asked my name and the food wasn't ready. I waited about another 7 minutes or so. When it was ready I grabbed my food and left. When I got home I ate and it was pretty tasty. The pita was very soft and the falafel wasn't dry. I also enjoyed the red hummus they added. The food was filling and I would definitely go back to try more. read more

I felt rushed and portion sizes were small. The ambiance was okay, the set up was nice but I don't think I'd go back.
