Chicken shawarma build your own bowl
Steven C.

Much better! The new setup and menu at Cava is so much better. The open food composition model (like Chipotle or subway) gives a more personalized experience. The food was tasty although not extremely hot.

Bowl w/half lamb meatball & half roasted veggies
Kyle Lee H.

Tenth time at CAVA, and let me tell you, I ain't been the same since I ate at this place! First off, I love the addition of the chipotle style service instead of the workers preparing the food i. the back as I prefer to see all my fresh ingredients. On this occasion I ordered half lamb meatballs, half roasted veggies. You ever take a bite of something and immediately start planning your next visit?! The lamb meatballs? Juicy, flavorful, with that perfect char on the outside--somebody's Mediterranean grandma is definitely in the kitchen whispering secrets. And the roasted veggies? Whew. Perfectly seasoned, slightly caramelized, and adding just the right amount of freshness to balance it all out. Every forkful was giving earthy, smoky, and just-right spicy all in one bite. Then let's talk about the toppings. CAVA is really out here letting you customize your masterpiece, and I didn't hold back. Harissa? Yes. Tzatziki? SAY LESS! A little crazy feta to tie it all together? Don't ask me twice. Every bite was a little different, but ALL of them were hitting. Moral of the story? 10/10. Will I be back? You might catch me in line tomorrow.

Hair in my bowl that is NOT mine
Christian M.

I eat CAVA often and I've never had a bad experience until today. I was eating my bowl and pulled a long black strand of hair out of my mouth! This is unacceptable! CAVA needs to have better cleaning standards. Please do not eat at this location. This is my last time! For all those who ask the silly question of what if it's yours, it's not! My hair is coily and tightly curled, not long and stringy.

Harissa honey chicken !!

I frequent this location a lot since it's near home. The service and quality of the food is always above par! The team members and management are always super friendly and very professional! The dining area has a great ambiance to it. I come pretty often that even the store manager Pablo knows me by name now! Makes you want to come back each time :-)

Messy chicken Shawarma sandwich.
B. A. W.

I thought I would like the idea of CAVA table but this place is sloppy. The menu is black and white, printed off the office copier, and taped to the Covid barrier left over from the pandemic. Stacks of beverages are just sitting on the floor behind the counter. I dared not peak into the kitchen even though it's an open layout. This is a small location. Even so, they'll give you a numbered beeper so they can locate you when bringing out your food. Drinks options are limited but it appears they may want to have a coffee bar? I was offered lemonades, shakes, or canned beverages by the gentleman taking the order. I opted for the lemonade, which was very good. Cava table allows you to build your own bowl but unlike normal Cava... you pick from menu without seeing. I opted for a chicken Shawarma sandwich. It was overstuffed and sloppy. There was as much oil on the outside as inside the sandwich so I had to eat it with a fork. Uncomfortable seats, matched with sticky tables,and less than desirable food; this will be my one and only visit to cave table in Woodbridge

Mocha espresso and falafel sandwich
Kelly M.

Dropped my better half off at IKEA and went off to run errands. They were not finished shopping and I wanted to wait somewhere comfortably and read a book until they were done. CAVA had good reviews and *bonus* had espresso drinks so I tried it out. First up was the Moroccan Day Dreamer Latte. No joke when they dropped it off with the greenery floating in it I thought I made a major mistake - but it was good. Really good. Fragrant delicious spices in just the right balance. Mmmm! Some time later I received a message saying my avid shopper was taking a break and snacking, so I did too. This time I tried a chocolate mocha latte and a falafel sandwich. The falafel isn't really a sandwich, it comes in a really thick pita-like wrap which is kind of dense, and it's missing something for me - feta cheese? Tsatziki sauce? But really the entire sandwich was seriously impressive for $10.45. The mocha was good but I missed the lovely flavors of the Moroccan latte. I think this is my first CAVA experience. If it isn't, it's the first one I remember. I'm now a fan!

Food was delicious! Got two plates- one with steak and one with falafel
Abby J.

I love this place & concept! Has so much potential and believe it or not- you can order a normal cava bowl. Great service

Undercooked Spicy Lamb Meatballs

I came to Cava yesterday and ordered the Harissa chicken and the spicy lamb meatball. After I had taken a couple of the bites of the lamb meatballs I realized that they were nasty and completely uncooked. Later that night I ended up getting severely sick and realized I had gotten food poisoning. The GM gave me a refund only for the bowl but I feel I should have been refunded for the whole meal since I barely ate any of it and ended up vomiting and on the toilet for hours after that meal. cava was the only thing that I ate yesterday so I KNOW it was them. The GM was very nice but I feel like he did not care nor did he accept that they had undercooked the meatballs. He told me that the red I was seeing was just from the spice. Attached is a picture for your own judgment. This is a really nice location with nice workers but unfortunately this will be my last time eating cava because of this.

I have perused a number of restaurants in the Woodbridge area and this my friends IS IT! Their food…read morewas absolutely delicious. I had ordered through Grubhub (I think) and I just wanted something different from the "run of the mill" fast food place. Tired of McDonalds, Chic-Fil-A, Wendys etc. I just wanted something light and promising. I went to pick up my order and yes the entrance was a little confusing (there was a Shopmart right next to the restaurant portion). However, one of the cooks greeted me and although she was unable to speak English well, she got someone to help me right away. I was sure the bag on the counter was mine but I did not want to take it right away until I got assurance from someone it was. A gentleman came out and offered, "Let me wash my hands first please." (Yessssssss this is what I'm taking about pre and post Covid!) He assured me the bag was my order and thank me for coming. I got home not knowing what to expect as the big was closed up. However, when I opened the containers and tried to the Taboulehhhhhhhhhhhhh (yes I'm saying it like this exactly!). It was so light and refreshing, I couldn't believe the sun just hit my orifice. Then there was the Beef Sharwarma. This is a step above a regular Gyro. The Beef Sharwarm was so flavorful (something I regret not experiencing as much in the area) and to top it off I had some Baklava that rounded out my meal. Needless to say, I'll be back!

Food is very flavorful and cooked with love!! If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I…read morewould! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which really made the experience feel personal.

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you--this place is an absolute treasure. When I walked in,…read morethe restaurant was cold, and no one was at the counter for the first five minutes, so I wasn't expecting much. Hence why I didnt take any pictures. But once I took my first bite, I was hooked. Hands down, this was the best gyro/pita-style sandwich I've ever had! I ordered a mix of lamb, chicken, falafel, and gyro meat, and every single bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the sauces were out of this world. The bread, which was similar to naan, took everything to the next level--it was soft, warm, and perfect for wrapping up all that deliciousness. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food that will blow your expectations out of the water, don't skip this place. It may not look like much, but trust me, it's worth it! I'm already planning my next visit.

After a long hiatus, the seventh installment of my "Kabob Kompendium" profiling various kabob…read morejoints in the DMV region broken down into a set of common criteria: 1) ethnic focus 2) kabobs 3) side dishes 4) rice 5) condiments 6) bread 7) x-factor (s) 1) Ethnic focus: Pakistani, although curiously they feature some gyro sandwich options 2)) Kabobs- a bit dry and lacking in the succulence factor, seasoning also appears superficial perhaps due to insufficient marinade time or just choice of breast meat rather than thigh for the chicken kabobs 3) side dishes- side salad is filler with iceberg lettuce and few cukes/tomatoes without dressing (substitute out), chickpeas were pretty standard with a hint of spice 4) rice-bland and perhaps slightly undercooked or intentionally more firm, but I prefer a more flavorful fluffy or moist rendition 5) Condiments- mint yogurt chutney with pleasant note of fresh mint and heat, not overpowering but necessary to perk up the bland aforementioned rice and dry chicken 6) Bread- puffy naan bread with nice buttery finish but becomes rubbery if not consumed immediately 7) x-factor- maybe it's the economy in general, but price point seems high, I got a BOGO special for the chicken kabob platter for $20 but I wouldn't necessarily pay for one meal at regular price. Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.
