Review Cava - Charlotte

First time trying this place. A friend of mine recommended it, and it was an excellent choice. The staff are friendly, attentive, and very helpful in providing recommendations. I ordered the Harrisa bowl with added falaf and a cucumber mint drink. Both are just what I needed! Plus, Alan's the best.

This place is really clean and the food is super fresh. The staff was super nice even though I struggled given it was my first time there. For those who came here for a professional opinion, this place is better than chipotle. Thank God this place is nearby. The pita bread is really good if you reheat it.

This was the 1st time w had ever experienced eating grape leaves. I’m not sure if they always come as something served as cold but I’d like to see how they taste warm. The food was decent and we were pretty filled up. I do wish they had more vegan/vegetarian dishes to choose from though.

We love CAVA! This location is really busy around dinner time, even on weeknights. That is for good reason, too! Building your own bowl with grains & greens topped with Harissa Honey Chicken is the best! I add roasted red pepper hummus, tzatziki, and crazy feta, which really blend the flavors together. After throwing veggies in there, you top it off with pita crisps and lemon herb tahini and garlic dressing. My wife and I had our first date in a CAVA, so it will forever hold a place in our memory!

We were unfamiliar with exactly how to venue worked, and the staff there worked with us showed us exactly how to fix the bowls and we ENJOYED every bite! Not only that but the ingredients were fresh, and the flavor was a 10 out of 10

The lines are pretty long. The servers weren't very friendly. This place is worse than Chipotle when it comes to how much food they're placing in the bowls. I had to ask for a little more of everything. Had I not, it would not have been worth the price. The dining area was surprisingly empty, but the tables inside and out were still dirty. We ended up sitting under Piada's patio. I ordered a bowl with basmati rice, super greens, braised lamb (extra sauce) corn, pickled onion, cucumber, two scoops of tzatziki sauce, and tomato. It was delicious. the fresh cold press juices are delicious as well. Cucumber mint and lemonade are the best flavors.

I never leave reviews but I feel this one is definitely warranted. First time visiting cava and it was amazing! The food is great, the price is amazing but the one thing that will keep me coming back was the service! The manager, Mecca, was beyond helpful and so sweet! She helped me figure out exactly what I wanted despite how difficult I can be but she was so patient and kind with me the entire time. When I do go back, it’ll be solely because of her. 😁😁

Food was yummy. Was told by a friend that it was like a Mediterranean chipotle, and it was better than I expected. Service was friendly and the portion sizes are actually pretty good for the price. I got the spicy chicken and tried some of my friends lamb. Both were phenomenal. I'll definitely come back.

It was a complete madhouse when I went in abt 1:30, long line but thankfully it appeared they were fully staffed so there wasn’t a long wait to get to placing my order. Staff appeared visibly frustrated and tired but still managed to be friendly in spite of. I have never worked in food service but I can certainly imagine nonstop moments can really wear a person out, but to still maintain a smile thru it all shows a lot abt the culture there. I got the braised lamb bowl with plenty of veggies and it was absolutely delicious. Healthy and fresh food options will always be a win in my book. They also make special drinks in house that you won’t find anywhere else. I didn’t try any because I am a sweet tea girl, but I saw others seemingly enjoying the various flavors of juices.

Cava has fresh flavors and well-seasoned food. I love the ability to customize my meal and the portions are sized just right! The staff was friendly and helpful but I did have questions about certain items and rather than checking, the staff person just said they did not know. (That is a personal pet peeve of mine.) I go to Cava any chance I get! I'm vegan and there were plenty of options for me to choose from to create a filling, healthy meal.

Loved it. It had a long line but fast. Price was mid range. Food portion is just perfect. Taste was great. They had Mexican Coke which was awesome. Not many place had the Mexican coca cola. You can have unlimited drinks. Atmosphere is cozy and staff is friendly. Had lots of parking. Service was fast.

I finally feel like I can give a just review for Cava now that I've tried their Pita for the 1st time yesterday. I've been an avid Harissa Avocado Bowl lover of theirs for quite some time now, and I must say, it's been very hard to pull away and give anything else a try. However I finally gave in and purchased their Sweet and Spicy Chicken Pita yesterday (alongside the Bowl lol ... aye what can I say? Lunch? & Dinner am I right?) I bet you're wondering why not 5 starts then right? Well...for starters, sometimes they forget my free Pita bread with my Bowl. I'd say roughly about 4 out of 9 visits I'd gotten home and it wasn't in my bag. It's always a surprise to me when it's not because I visit Cava spread out. Sprinkled throughout the year, and consecutively I've had my Pita. So the off chance that I don't have it, of course it wasn't on my mind to check the bag to see if it was missing. Surely I didn't need the Pita bread anyways, so it wasn't a huge deal to me. Also, it's free, so I just assumed they could've been out of stock. Last but not least, I always go for their SuperGreens Mix for my bowls. not only because it just sounds healthy, but also because it just tastes good! However, what's with the overload of sliced Brussel Sprouts? I did a little digging to find out the SuperGreens Mix is mixed up of these particular ingredients: 1/4 c Broccoli 1/4 c Kale 1/4 c Brussels sprouts thinly sliced 1/4 c Chicory thinly sliced Everything is mixed in so well, that I would've never been able to tell you what was in the SuperGreens Mix without looking it up...well all is mixed well except the overload of Brussel Sprouts. It's not even that I don't like Brussel Sprouts, they are delicious! It's just they put wayyy too many in the bowl for anyone's liking in my opinion. Otherwise, Cava is the most healthiest, mouthwatering and flavorful, Mediterranean, unique establishments that you're ever going to visit for a unique tasting Salad Bowl or Pita! You know that saying, "Don't walk, run?" Well in this case... "Don't run, DRIVE! Lol !" I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Delicious & filling. We placed an order for curbside pickup last night and as soon as we called the number provided to us and let them know that we arrived, a really nice girl with pretty pink hair came out and brought out the order. When we got home we saw that all our food was there, the order was correct, and they were really generous with the toppings! Everything was great and I was able to get two meals out of my pita.

The line moved quick and the service was great. I love the honey spicy chicken! The blueberry lavender drink is amazing! Wish I had Cava closer to me.

Love this style of Mediterranean food. Quick and easy grab for lunch or dinner. I like that we can make our own bowls and customize it to cater a healthy diet.
