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

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

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

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

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

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 love the food here, it's always soo good. Service is fast, the employees give recommendations every time. Had Liz help me out on a few selections, I trusted her and it worked out super well ! Now I come back and order the same thing every time with her giving me new amazing ideas every time. She is a speculative employee that deserves a raise, she's only been helpful too me and I bet plenty of other individuals as-well. She's definitely a keeper ! Thank you ! read more

Ordered twice from here, pita sandwich both times. once my order was a miss as they didn't add everything I wanted but other than that one instance it has always been good. Love their harissa n chugh sauces. They are perfect level of spicy for me n pita chips add a nice crunch to sandwich. It's becoming my goto option when i want to eat healthy fresh and tasty food. Wish it was bit closer to home though 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

We got a greens and grains bowl to share with lamb meatballs, chicken, vegetables on the side, and the almost $19 bowl was enormous. The greens, grains, meats, toppings, and sauces were very fresh and great quality. Even after splitting the bowl for dinner, we still had two servings left over. A definite stop if you're looking for a healthy, filling, and flavorful dinner. 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.

Great staff and great food. The people who work there are so kind. Favorite location!! I'm a stan read more

I absolutely love this place! Food is so fresh tasting and never makes me feel sluggish. The only reason for a missing star is because every time I order for delivery my bowl has something missing. They don't even bother to contact me regarding the missing item so I am always left disappointed. 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!

They gave me a meat salad that was half full when I ordered a vegan meal. The salad dressing was only a quarter full and no utensils or napkins. I tried calling the restaurant and no one answers. Poor quality food, poor customer service. Avoid this restaurant! read more

I get the same thing every time I come to Cava. Half lentils and half spinach base with harissa, red pepper hummus and eggplant, kalamata olives, diced tomatoes and cucumbers and Fresno peppers with chicken with lemon herb tahini. It's delicious every single time! The lentils and spinach together are the perfect mix. It also comes with a side of pita. One of my favorite "fast-casual" places to get food from. read more

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

Been visiting this location since they've opened, and even now, during this pandemic, they're committed to delivering great service and quality.

Great job, you're appreciated! read more

Came here for dinner after a study session with my girlfriend, she recommended we'd try here since I've never been here. I was overwhelmed about the choices to pick from but she helped me out in choosing toppings and dressings. I had the grain bowl with rice and chicken and she had to help me pick the toppings lol. The level of flavors combined with the dressings and spices it was so good! I had the cucumber, pineapple drink it was really good and refreshing. I'd definitely try here again. read more

This is the first CAVA I have been to and I have to say I fell in love with this spot. I was looking for something around the area that would make me feel extremely guilty after eating there. Cava is the perfect mix of great taste with being Conscience of what you're eating. I had both the lamb meatballs with the regular lamb with almost everything else the offered. It was an explosion of different tastes in my mouth. This spot is definitely a great lunch/quick dinner spot. I have been here twice since I've been visiting the area and will definitely be coming back. read more

really good customer service from the manager Bruno and the food was really good, the store was pretty clean too

No one answers the phone ever!!!!! Not sure why they even have a phone number. If they forget something or something is wrong the only way to let them know is to DRIVE BACK TO THEM. && they will not credit you. They are also Very rude to customers and ignore them. I literally stood there for 10' minutes with 5 people working a foot away from where I was waiting for someone to acknowledge me (no exaggeration) and if I didn't SCREAM to get someone attention I would still be standing there. They have. Pick up section BUT never put my order up there for me to pick up n go it's always behind the counter. Oh and if you have a BIG order (like 15 or more salads/bowls) make sure you BRING a bag because they will just throw your stuff in. Paper bag and watch you struggle to carry out the 15 bags of food yourself. (Customers are even nice enough to offer to help). read more

I was really excited to try this place. It wasn't bad, but I was not blown away by my first experience. The staff was nice, but they need to work in their communication because if I was not paying attention they would have charged me an additional $6.00 for something I didn't have. The food had good flavor for the most part. You honestly don't get a lot for your money. I would give it another try in the future. read more

The service members rush the meals and miss items. Also they don't let you finish your sentence. I got asked what sauce(s) I wanted. Before I could finish saying the sauces the lady yanked out the sauce and drenched my bowl with both sauces. I don't know if I'm gonna even eat it now Becuase I don't eat the whole bowl with the sauce. I like to dip and enjoy not have a soggy bowl. Then she rushed to check us out. Didn't have time to scan rewards so I had to wait for her to come back and then roll her eyes before telling me to scan.. the last time I made a online order also they forgot items and put items im allergic to that I didn't even order.. cant win or the staff just sucks. All and all the place looked clean. read more

CAVA - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Some other reviewers described CAVA as the Mediterranean version of Chipotle, which is exactly what I thought when I walked into this place. CAVA serves up made-to-order salads, grain bowls, pita and more. We ordered a salad with chicken and a pita with half grilled meatballs/half lamb meatballs. You get to add 3 delicious dips of your liking, plus as many additional toppings as you want. There's also a dressing drizzle to finish it off (try the sriracha yogurt for an extra kick!) so there's countless combinations of deliciousness. They even give you free pita with your salad/bowl. The food is a little pricy but it's delicious and the portions are generous and filling. read more

I had Cava for the first time in San Diego last week. I was really excited to see they had a NJ location and was sure to go there for lunch when I happened to be in the area. Everything was up to the quality I had in the Del Mar location, with the exception of the roasted veggies. They were just a bit to crisp for my liking, they didn't seem roasted all the way. Other than that, this location seemed very clean and the staff was quite friendly. The crazy feta sauce, harissa honey chicken, lentils and apple cider with vanilla are all things that I absolutely love from Cava- delicious ! read more

Food is pretty solid, definitely on the healtheir side of things. Problem is, they've now forgotten mine and my GF's pitas on 2 separate occasions so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement read more

Amazing, phenomenal, tasty, yummy, beautiful.... Not enough words to describe how much I love this place. Such a delight to have CAVA so close to home. To make it even easier to get my fix, they have mobile ordering. The food here is truly great. Fresh, local ingredients and hand crafted into your choice of a bowl, pita or mini-pita right in front of you. My personal favorite combination is pita with chicken, tomato/onion, crazy feta, harissa and tzatziki sauce. Usually get a small pita or pita chips on the side. Crazy feta is the star - it's a feta spread spiked with jalapenos for some spice. But honestly I would probably put all the spreads on my pita if I could. There are so many different potential yummy combinations you can make here. Try it!!! You will not regret your decision! read more

CAVA - Chicken Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Excellent addition to the area! I had never been to any CAVA locations before so I was initially a little confused by the way you order. It would have been helpful if the employees were trained on the menu specifics etc. However, it's pretty easy to figure out on your own after a few minutes. Basically the chipotle take on healthy Mediterranean food. Food: You have your base which could be greens or grains. Than you have your protein, I tried the lamb, chicken and falafel. I enjoy the chicken the best. They also have decent amount of selection of toppings and pretty tasty sauces. Ambience: typical chain feel and clean since it's new. They also had out door eating tables which is nice however no chairs. I assume it's because it's new and they intend to get chairs at some point. Overall I did think my meal was pretty tasty and love how you have to ability to customize. I look forward to returning and recommend checking it out. read more

Love CAVA and love this location! The service is always friendly and quick and the food is always delicious and fresh. The pita bread that accompanies your bowl is warm, fresh, and fluffy; the meats are perfectly seasoned; the veggies are perfectly crisp and pickled. So glad I found this spot - it is a little hard to find your first time though. It is located in the parking lot of Ulta/Dick's Sporting Goods, next to Shake Shack. read more

CAVA - Grain bowl with spicy lamb meat balls and harissa - Mediterranean Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

We needed a place like this around. Healthy, fast food. I was impressed with Cava and my family and I enjoyed our meal. I built my own bowl with greens and grains, chicken was my protein and the unlimited toppings are great. Since it was my first time and there was a long line behind me, I felt a little pressured. Especially when it came to picking my dressing but the staff was accommodating and let me taste whatever I wanted. The freshness of the ingredients was evident and it was very filling Cava is my new jump off, I can't wait to come back. read more

I'll just say it...I'm obsessed with CAVA. The food is so fresh, the selections are awesome and the pita chips are insanely good and perfect for scooping up some of your bowl with. I went with a half spinach/half basmati rice base, chicken and a bunch of toppings--feta dip, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, roasted corn, tomatoes, pickled onions and the yogurt&dill sauce. The combo of all that was amazing and so filling. I think between the bowl and side of pita chips it was $13 and it was well worth it for a dinner that tasted great, felt healthy and didn't make me feel gross after eating the entire thing. This is officially my favorite fast-casual option! read more
