Valeria R.

I love CAVA! This location has quick service, the food is great. The ambiance is warm, bustling, and there's plenty of seating both in and outside. I've been lucky enough to catch them right when there's new and fresh pita chips. I've come here a few times now and have never left disappointed.

Stopped in for lunch a few weeks ago and created my own bowl-which was delicious! I arrived before noon, and noticed a huge increase in traffic starting at that 12:00 hour. I'm not sure what was happening, but the staff and dining room were a bit disheveled. They didn't look short staffed, but maybe just frazzled. I had to ask for a few items multiple times, the drink station hadn't been cleaned, and there were large boxes sitting around. Parking can be tricky due to volume but save yourself and park in the back lot of the bank!

I was so looking forward to this bowl, only to be disappointed. $16 to be salty and missing ingredients is wild! There wasn't a cucumber in sight or cabbage slaw... What happened!? I ordered ahead online, arrived a few minutes before the pickup time but I only waited a few minutes. I hope they didn't rush because I was there. They were pretty busy as it was lunch time but no excuses. Also, I thought the bowl besides missing ingredients was pretty low as well, not even filled to the top!

Kid's Pita
Meredith L.

I always enjoy my meal when I come to this CAVA location! The staff was very kind! They had run out of saffron rice, and they continued to let me go down the line and gave me a side of it for free! I also feel like the portions are very large. I typically can get the kid's pita meal and still have leftovers! I would highly recommend coming to CAVA if you need something quick and easy!

Pita
Chelsea R.

Cava is a whole love language for me. My go to is the greens and grains bowl and I'll always get extra garlic sauce. Their toppings make me feel like I'm being healthy and I love the variety. The feisty feta is to die for and their tzatziki is some of the best. The honey harissa chicken is the perfect level of spice and the free pita? Sign me right up. I love the homemade drinks and the convenience of ordering online to go.

Skhug and Yogurt Dill - excellent, 1 for the heat, 2 for the cool!
Fred B.

After two visits (1 pita, 1grain bowl), I figured out what I wanted to put together here - a grain bowl with: 1/2 Rice 1/2 Lentils 1/2 Falafel 1/2 Meatballs Pickled Onions Cucumber & Tomato Brined Pickles Feta Tzatziki Harissa Pita Side sauces: Shkug, Yogurt Dill This made up what I'd been looking for - the right combination of tastes and textures, with the sauces and dips suppling a nice mixture of heat, cool, and flavors. The rice and lentils as the base mixed well together, increasing in flavor as the sauces and dips were mixed in. The spicy meatballs were very good, while the falafel was rather bland on its own, but again the sauces and dips helped considerably. The brined pickles and pickled red onions brought a definite sharpness to the bowl, softened somewhat by the tomato and cucumber mixture. The sauces and dips were all excellent. The pita as a side was small and much better than the large one on the wrap, and it had a nice outside crunch. And the service was particularly nice on this visit. I don't know that I necessarily felt healthier after this bowl, but I certainly felt satisfied! Ambiance - 3.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4 Value - 4

Grain bowl
Carrie K.

I recently ordered a grain bowl from Cava on DoorDash with arugula, chicken, black lentils, and a variety of toppings/dressings. It arrived and looked bare at first, it seemed like the toppings might have been layered on the bottom, which made it a bit tricky to enjoy as intended. Honestly, Cava is just okay for me. This was my second time trying it, and while it's not bad, I don't feel like it lives up to the hype. To be fair, maybe my topping and dressing choices might not have been the best combination this time around. For now, I'd say it's fine if you're looking for something light and customizable, but it's not my favorite.

Loved coming here for a quick dinner after going to the gym! The food at CAVA is always so filling and nutritious and this particular one is in a convenient location on Stratford Road. Depending on the time of day the parking can be a little crowded in that shopping plaza, but cars come in and out so frequently I haven't had a problem! The indoor space itself is larger than it looks, and there is plenty of seating if you want to dine in. I usually take it to go though! The service here is always fantastic, they are quick and efficient in getting people through the line, and always have all the toppings filled and ready to go so I haven't had to wait for anything. Will definitely be coming back!

Between the ambience, speed of service, and the friendly greetings, I truly enjoyed myself! Destiny was an absolute superstar, she was extremely sweet and welcoming! She ensured we had everything we needed. The food was delicious!

What a find... short and simple: Yamas blows Cava and all similar Mediterranean build your own bowl…read moreplaces out of the water. It was a lifesaver on a recent trip to Winston-Salem. I hadn't had dinner the night before and let's just say after a busy coffee-filled morning, I was beside myself by lunchtime. Yelp pointed me in the direction of Yamas, right in the heart of the city and two doors down from the Courtyard by Marriott, where I was staying. They run a tight operation and even if there's a line in the middle of the lunch rush, you will have your bowl in hand in minutes. There's so many vegan options, my head was spinning. I opted for a savory lentil base and my bowl was loaded with hummus, falafel, olives, peppers, tahini and veggies. It was just what the hunger gods had ordered. I'm picky about falafel, but here it's unique, tender, and flavorful. Not pasty nor dry. There's plenty of seating and although fast casual, it's comfortable enough to allow for a work meeting or hanging out with friends. Next time I'm in town, I'll be hard-pressed to try something else for lunch or a quick dinner. Yamas is just that great.

The place is beautiful, well organized, and nicely decorated, with plenty of seating options,…read moreincluding large tables, small tables, and individual seating. There is also an outdoor area with about four good-sized tables and umbrellas for shade. The menu offers several healthy options with bold, flavorful seasoning, as well as kids' meals. I also appreciated the attention to accessibility: the restrooms, outdoor area, and one of the tables are accessible. There is also a family restroom, which is very convenient for parents with young children. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it!

A Yelp Elite event was the perfect opportunity to discover Mediterraneo Pizza and Grill in…read moreClemmons--and one look at the menu told me this was much more than your neighborhood pizza place! The extensive menu brings together Italian and Lebanese flavors, with appetizers, fresh salads, pitas, wraps, subs, calzones, stromboli, New York-style pizza, authentic Neapolitan-style brick-oven pizza, pasta classics, seafood, baked specialties and tempting desserts. There is truly something for every taste, whether you are craving a familiar comfort food or feeling adventurous enough to try something new. I chose the Chicken Marsala, featuring tender chicken breast sautéed in Marsala wine with plentiful mushrooms and served over spaghetti. The savory sauce had a rich, beautifully developed flavor that made the dish taste like a little journey to Italy. The chicken was tender, the pasta was satisfying, and every bite felt comforting and thoughtfully prepared. Served with a fresh side salad and homemade bread, the quality and generous amount of food also made it an excellent value. The restaurant itself is warm, relaxed and versatile. It would be just as comfortable for someone stopping in alone as it would be for a couple, a small gathering or a larger celebration. Mediterraneo accepts reservations and can also host private events, with a welcoming team ready to accommodate its guests. The people we met were absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive and genuinely happy to have us there. There is also an extensive bar featuring cocktails, wine, liquor and several draft beers, making Mediterraneo a great place to enjoy drinks, dinner and a leisurely evening with friends. Thank you to Yelp and the wonderful team at Mediterraneo for such a welcoming and delicious Elite experience. Between the quality, value, hospitality and almost endless selection, I left with a full stomach--and a very long list of dishes I want to try next!

My son and his wife got the Parma pizza (Made without sauce. Fresh Mozzarella, Parma ham (Prosciutto), rocket (Arugula), cherry tomatoes, olive oil and Parmigiano.) Both pizzas were good and we had enough between us to take home for lunch the next day. I just ate mine while I wrote the review....good stuff.

My go-to order is the Halal chicken over rice and a side of falafel. The chicken over rice comes with perfectly seasoned chicken, bell peppers, and onions, served on a bed of basmati rice with a salad mix, two pieces of pita bread, and both red and white sauce. The portions are generous, and the price is very reasonable. As for the falafel, it's some of the best I've had in Winston-Salem. It's light, flavorful, and not greasy just the perfect balance. You can order from the truck directly, call ahead, or even use Uber Eats. Personally, I like calling ahead, and the owner is always super friendly! I'll definitely be returning again and again.

Ok-No lie...as soon as I began to type this review my mouth began to salivate. My salivary glands are proof that just thinking about the deliciousness that is created here has left a permanent biological imprint-in my mouth! I'm becoming addicted to the flavors I'm becoming concerned...for other restaurants near YAMAS! Ordering online through their website is super easy and the order is always ready on time. I ordered take out today as it is located close to my work and in an easy to navigate location. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture because I had already eaten half and saved the other half in my work fridge for tomorrow's lunch AND dinner-that's how big the portions are! My order (create a bowl-this would be considered a grain bowl but they also offer half and half bowls with a grain and choice of lettuce) consisted of: -Dips and spreads: tahini hummus, tzatziki cucumber -Protein: chicken souvlaki (it was EXTRA seasoned and tender today! But it always is:) -Toppings (my favorite part and it's fun to switch them up!): cauliflower tabbouleh, organic quinoa (damn-I didn't need auto correct for that-small victories in life are what's up), marinated chickpeas, marinated mushrooms, spicy cherry peppers, roasted garlic (my absolute favorite along with marinated mushrooms and spicy cherry peppers), corn salad. *I sometimes substitute with the seasoned fries because they are the skinny fries and are the bomb. I find it hard to trust someone who doesn't like a beautifully seasoned skinny fry. Not done! Sauces: lemon/lime tahini mild (this was my first time trying it and it fit perfectly with the more nuttier flavors as well with the chicken) as it cut with acidity! Also I had the chug cilantro spicy jalapeño (probably my favorite thing in this menu). It must be said that the prices here are pretty dope compared to any restaurant today. Especially compared with another "similar" known restaurant that doesn't offer nearly as many authentic choices. As mentioned above, the bowl I ordered today will provide me with three HEALTHY and NUTRITIOUS and simply clean meals. They could make a killing creating a meal subscription. Every time I have entered the door I have been greeted immediately. The staff are warm and welcoming, with just the right amount of cheekiness. You're welcome!!!!!!! -

The young man, in particular, always seems to have an attitude and often cuts customers off while they're speaking. During my last visit, he nearly dropped my bag of food while handing it through the drive-thru window.
