    Several girlfriends and I had dinner here prior to catching a movie one evening. Most of us made our own bowls, which is such a fabulous option here. All of the ingredients are so fresh and so tasty! I decided to upgrade to get the lamb as my protein and enjoyed a bunch of the different veggies and toppings. I finished it off with the garlic sauce which is fabulous. Super nice staff, wonderful food.

    Lentil avocado bowl

    I've never been to a CAVA before. There was no one else in line when I arrived at 5pm on a Friday so we had time to figure out what we wanted. A line started for me only like few minutes after we placed our order. I went with the lentil avocado bowl and my partner got the lamb meatball pita. The lentil avocado bowl was very good. I wished I got the dressings on the side because there was a little too much dressing mixed in the bowl. Some of the raw cabbage slices were too big. It would have been nice if a side came with the bowl like the pita chips and if there was a little bit more falafel. I felt satisfied after eating the whole bowl. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables in the bowl and the flavors mixed all together, especially with their "hot" sauce. Their hot sauce is mildly spicy. My partner also enjoyed his lamb meatball pita. Didn't try their dessert options as they were just packaged and made in another state. Trier three of their juices from their juice dispensers: the blueberry lavender, strawberry citrus, and lemonade. The blueberry lavender was the best out of the three. Strawberry citrus tasted like there was artificial sweetener. This is a good place to get fast casual healthier Mediterranean food.

    I love Cava! I used to have lunch at Cava in Maryland where I used to live, so I was happy they opened one here in Wilmington. The food is always fresh and well prepared. I had a combo salad and grains (lentils) along with a "spicy" lamb meatballs. I was warned by the person that made my dish that they were spicy. Nope, not for me. They were quite flavorful. This is a place where you go down the line and choose what you want in your salad, pita wrap, etc. I topped my salad with feta, olives, pickled onions, a mix of onions, tomatoes and cucumber, etc. You can choose three dips. I chose the tzatziki, hummus, and a feta, japapeno dip. It also came with 1/4 pita bread (you get more at the Cava in Maryland where I used to live). Total price with bottled water was a little over $15, in which I thought was reasoanble. There is inside dining and also outside dining with tables and umbrellas. Love Cava for the healthy food options. I'll be back again!!

    Yes yes yes, go to Cava!!! Okay okay hear me out- I tried visiting here about 2 months ago when they first opened, like any business just opening, it was a mess, and PACKED. However, my food tasted good- so I knew I would come back in a few weeks. Here I am 2 months later, I hyped this place up to my husband. He's a big chipotle fan and I'm just not that into it, but I love Mediterranean food so I knew this would be my jam. After hyping it up and walking him through the steps of the process he made some choices for his bowl. I always get the Tahini Chicken Caesar Bowl- it's not listed up on the large menu but it's one of their curated bowls on the website that I looked up prior to my first visit. If you want a classic Mediterranean bowl, order this!!!! It's not spicy & it has such a great mixture of flavors. There is just a salad base, no rice- so if you're looking for grains you could always add that. I also opt to add my own veggies from the topping bar at the end to get in some extra goodies. Whatever you do ORDER THE PITA CHIPS. They are fried pita slices of perfection that pair so nicely with dipping for your bowl. I can't rave enough about the pita chips. Like I said, I saved my review for CAVA after giving them a bit of time, and I'm glad I did. My experience was much better this time, the staff was more knowledgeable and felt more comfortable with creating the bowls you ask for or answering questions. I'm so glad we have a Cava and I hope it sticks around!!!

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.
