    Grilled chicken bowl with saffron rice, romaine, cucumber, corn, olives, and tzatziki
    Grace Nicole C.

    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

    Grilled chicken bowl

    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!

    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.

    Custom Greens + Grains Bowl (~$15) + Small Cucumber Mint Lime Drink
    Aya E.

    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!

    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!

    Free side of pita bread
    Rose C.

    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.

    Harissa Chicken/avocado bowl
    Sinthia S.

    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!

    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.

I chose romaine with chopped egg, avocado, buffalo chicken, mandarin oranges, & roasted cauliflower with balsalmic vinaigrette dressing mixed in.

My friend chose a salad off the menu, which was also made on the spot, and she was able to choose an alternate dressing to her liking.

The service was alright-- they weren't the friendliest but they were doing their job. I ordered the mandarin chicken salad. It had oriental sesame dressing which was very sweet, but good. However, at one point it got a bit too sweet which made the salad hard to finish. The chicken tasted alright, nothing about it stood out to me. Something in the salad also tasted a bit fishy-- not sure if it was the dressing or any of the toppings. I don't like the taste of seafood so I was not a huge fan of the taste. The overall salad was just average and wasn't special in any way. I'm not sure if I'll come back. Although the portions are big, I am still paying $10 for pretty average salad.

There is a small little parking lot that can fit 4-5 cars right off the main road. Inside was decorated with cute Christmas decor, and the domestic violence scene from Godfather Part 1 casually playing on the TV while I'm trying to eat my food. Good variety of options of appetizers, small shared plates, pizza, fresh pasta, and entrées to choose from our group decided to split the popular pizza. Then everyone offended for themselves - our table ordered the gnocchi with pesto and chicken Milanese, chicken parmigiana with penne, Arancini, and the "focaccia"/house garlic bread. The Arancini was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside. The pizza was a perfect sweet and savory combo of burrata, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. The pesto was a bit thin and ate a little soupier than I prefer. Buyer beware with the focaccia - although it's called focaccia, it's also listed under the pizzas so it was served thin and crispy like a pizza rather than thick and fluffy like we had been expecting. I would absolutely return again to try all the other dishes, especially the shared plates, different pizzas, and other fresh pasta offerings.
