The food was genuinely delicious and quite reasonably priced in my opinion. My favorite by far were the lamb chops. The place itself is relatively small and fills up pretty fast so make reservations if you want to be guaranteed a seat.

Always a fantastic meal at Cava Mezze. I prefer the openness of the Olney location, but had guest in town and we were near this location, so we dropped on in. Food is always delicious, and the service is outstanding. Tonight we had the Mezze Tasting, with an extra side of Dolmades. So good! This item, and the flaming cheese (Saganaki) are the two must have starters. You won't go wrong! For other items we had the brussels sprouts, Chicken Souvlaki (my favorite), Grilled Meatballs, Lamb Pita and Scallops Risotto. The Scallops are my wife's favorite and the flavor is outstanding. To finish, I always have the Challah French Toast. Refreshing! Overall our guest loved it. She said it had great flavors. Service was excellent from Isela. Pleasant and friendly and kept an eye on our table. Fantastic! Cava Mezze, regardless of location, is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. The food is just outstanding, service is impeccable and just overall a great experience.

When on business in Rockville, we went to Cava Mezze for dinner. The menu was, in my opinion, missing a few Greek classics that I'd have liked to have seen, such as a Moutabal starter option and a Moussaka as an entree... That said, the food we had was superb. An excellent 'village' Greek salad and the Pork Belly and Lamb Chops were delicious and left me too full for dessert. The ambience, whilst nice, in my opinion, was a bit too dark, I had to use my phone torch to even begin to read the menu. A very enjoyable meal though at reasonable prices.

This Cava is quite small, with tables and chairs arranged closely together, making the dining environment feel cramped and noisy. However, the food is still good. The hummus spread has a wonderfully smooth and creamy texture, perfectly complemented by the soft pita bread. The scallop risotto is cooked just right, with the scallops being fresh and flavorful. The grilled lamb chop is excellent, with tender meat and great flavor. The chicken souvlaki looked a bit over-charred on the outside, but the taste was decent. The salmon is okay, but nothing impressive. We went during dinner time, and the place was packed, so the service was overwhelmed and not particularly attentive. We waited a long time to be acknowledged after being seated, and the food took even longer to arrive. That said, the staff were still friendly and polite.

Always a treat, one of the most consistent dining experiences in MoCo, you will never be disappointed. The service here is always on point, the food? Delicious and it's a great atmosphere for a date night or a nice dinner amongst friends. The saganaki, the gyro, the shrimp, the Brussels sprouts, and the French toast are all on my go-to order list every time I come here. Honestly, though, everything they serve is good.

Cava Mezze Rockville offers upscale small-plate versions of Greek dishes. The Saganaki is marvelous. The Grilled Lamb Chops with fries are not to be missed. They are out of this world! The Crispy Chicken Sliders were also shockingly complex and tasty- highly recommend. The prices reflect the upscale dishes, so don't expect to get out without spending some bucks, but it's worth it, in my estimation. We found the Grilled Shrimp and Zucchini Fritters bland. The Brussels Sprouts needed a spritz of lemon and some more salt to brighten up. The atmosphere is my biggest complaint. The restaurant is TINY and they crowd as many tables as they can in this space. It's dark and loud. My dining companion and I had to practically shout to hear each other. Still, I'll return because those lamb chops are THAT GOOD.

I loved the tzatziki and the hummus! The serving sizes are good for tapas. The complimentary pita and harissa were delicious as well. The service was attentive and welcoming. It is pretty small inside the restaurant but there is ample outdoor seating. The lamb sliders (2 sliders) and gyros ( 3 mini gyros) were flavorful and filling. The Ekmek dessert was incredible- orange pastry cream, whipped cream, crispy pastry and honey.

Not as good as Brassica or Lemon Tree. Still pretty acceptable and the availability of smoothies was nice. Seems like a reliable place for a nice veggie forward lunch in Rockville, plenty of locals coming in and out. I got the tahini coffee smoothie and enjoyed it. Service was nothing special except the guy at the register was quite nice. Note about the atmosphere or culture, everybody in the area really kept to themselves; no one in DC has ever erred on the friendly side to me compared to the Midwest. Just an observation. I would try another place out of the many Mediterranean options in the area before deciding to come back, but really it wasn’t bad.

Delicious food and top notch service. Came here for Sunday brunch. Our server Scott clearly explained the menu and had some excellent recommendations. Loved the melted halloumi which Scott spectacularly lit on fire before serving. The baklava waffle and pork belly and eggs were also excellent. The ambiance is classy but not too formal which was perfect for us.

I've tried them before for brunch and this is my first time coming for dinner. Overall, the food and experience were good. We got the crazy feta and then chose the Mezze Tasting so we could try the other 2. My favorite of the dips was the crazy feta. We ordered the Greek Bolognese and Scallop Risotto to share and these were both very good. As the main, we got the Chef D Platter. Unfortunately I had too much pita which filled me up so couldn't enjoy the different meats included. I tried the pork belly, gyro and chicken souvlaki. Out of the three, the chicken was too salty (I think there was too much seasoning) for me. The other meats were pretty tasty. It wasn't too busy on a weeknight. However, we needed to call over our waiter a few times to get serviced. In addition, I felt like the lights were a bit dim making it a bit hard to read the menu.

Lamb pita was by far the tastiest- definitely get this over the lamb chops which weren't as seasoned or tender as the pita. free pita and harissa sauce was a nice touch; sauce had a manageable kick to it. Brussel sprouts are crispy on the outside with a well paired yogurt sauce that melts in the mouth. The cauliflower was a bit sweet and sour, a complex taste and an interesting take on a cauliflower dish. The disco fries tasted like a variation of Cincinnati chili, and the fries itself were not revolutionary. The crispy chicken slider was pretty basic and just okay, probably skip this in favor of something else. Our waiter was nice, but forgot to put in an order of scallop risotto, so it came out considerably later and the risotto was rushed and a bit undercooked and hard. The scallop had a good texture (crispy on the outside, bouncy on the inside), but there wasn't much seasoning on the scallop itself. The risotto itself had a heavy seafood taste behind it, making the mushrooms it supposedly had almost disappear. I could also go without this dish.

Thursday 4/18/2024 I made a takeout order through the store website and got: chicken platter (with rice) $17, gyro pita (with salad) $15, lamb chops (medium) $22, and dessert French toast $10. - Chicken platter * this was one of my favorite dishes. Everything was good and I had no problem with it. - Gyro pita * this was okay but it's pretty underwhelming when you factor the $15 price tag and the smaller portion that was served. - Lamb chops * $11 per lamb chop is pretty expensive especially when you see how small they are but they were decent. * the French fries were awful: greasy and soggy with zero crisp and seasoning. - Dessert French toast * another one of my favorites dishes that I enjoyed. * it's not overly sweet as it comes with whipped cream, blueberries, strawberries, and honey. This is a solid spot for Greek food. I'd recommend the chicken platter & French toast and I would be open to returning to try new items like spicy lamb sliders, chicken sliders, and lollipop chicken.

My husband and I ordered takeout for Cava Mezze and it was pretty straightforward. Very standard Mediterranean food, nothing too over the top or subpar. Everything was pretty good, I got a classic gyro and was not disappointed! My husband got the chicken skewers which were also well seasoned and yummy. My only qualm is the price point. The small container of feta dip alone was $11, and it just didn't seem like enough for that price despite it being tasty! Overall good food, but you can go to CAVA or any other standard Mediterranean place and pay half the price for a pretty similar experience!

This is one of my favorite spots to eat for lunch/brunch. The food is delicious, the service is great, and it's the right amount of ambiance I need on Sunday. My server name is Arabic and is spelled Khayr. He is an amazing waiter. I just love the atmosphere. the service is great, which I said before, and food is amazing. I love the idea of being able to select a three course mean, which is reasonably priced, and to top it off your libation, that's a choice of Mamossia for .25 cents per glass is another great perk. In addition, they offer half on the purchase of a whole bottle of wine. Overall, I love one of the 2 original CAVA in the area. I recommend this place, come out, and support this business. Great food, drinks, and ambiance.

Frequent diner. Place is always good, consistent service and food is great. Octopus and Lamb Chips stand out for me and Village Salad is always so fresh. French Toast desert is always a hit too. Highly recommend. Only downside is place is small and tables are on top of each other and it gets loud.

I ordered via door dash and enjoyed my pita sandwich and fries. The only thing I would change is a different prep for the chicken. It comes with cubed chicken chunks which although tasty makes for an awkward bite throughout. I had to rescue a few chunks that fell out. I would definitely return/repeat order.

Cava is the perfect quick pick-me-up healthy go-to lunch spot for us when working on campus. This location is incredibly easy to access and there is rarely ever any traffic or lack of parking spaces. The portions are quite large so I only order a children's pita when I come--I can't stand wasting food and their staff understands this. Food is always fresh and it's a sin if you don't order a freshly crafted juice of some sort. Also, all freshly made and crafted with the best ingredients. IF ONLY they served them with an alcohol option, haha! So good!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon - we did have a reservation but it was not crowded at all so could've also walked in! We did the brunch mania for $38 a person - it came with 3 courses and complimentary hush puppies as an appetizer. Our favorite was definitely the hush puppies they were delicious !!! We tried the crispy potato terrine, the Nutella banana fritters, the strapatsada, chicken souvlaki, pork belly and eggs, and chicken and waffles. The Nutella banana fritters were with chocolate syrup not Nutella, these weren't our favorite. The pork belly was fatty but the seasoning was great and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The chicken and waffles were really good - the chicken was very crispy - this was probably my favorite dish. My boyfriend loved the potato terrine and the chicken souvlaki. Mimosas were also 25 cents which was a great deal!

A friend and I got out of a movie around 9:15pm on Sunday and were craving Cava Mezze's delicious food. We knew we would be cutting it close to closing so I called the restaurant and asked if they would be able to seat us. They told me the kitchen is closing, but they will seat us and if we could just order as soon as possible. We were so pleased especially since we already knew what we wanted. We ordered the grilled shrimp, scallop risotto, brussel sprouts, potatoes and saganaki. Even at the last minute everything was superb and perfectly cooked. We were the last ones in the restaurant, but did not feel rushed and in fact were treated with kindness and care. Always a great experience at Cava Mezze!

I visited this location for brunch and everything was amazing. I would highly recommend this if you are in the area. My favorite dish was the chicken and waffles or the cava fries. Even though the restaurant was smaller on the inside, my friend and I were seated by the wall and enjoyed the food and our server was nice.

5/5 Service was on point. I had the cucumber drink (delicious), mezze with crazy feta (yum) and hummus, broccolini, spanakopita (yogurt very good), and avocado gem salad. Had chocolate dessert that started with S. A bit noisy but otherwise very good.

Ordered a takeout from here. The lamb meatballs were super dry along with the rice. The sauce that came with it was good. Also ordered the crazy feta and didn't have much of a kick to it. Cava is much better.

The food was excellent. I ordered the lamb pita and it was tasty and filling. The crazy feta spread was amazing with the warm pita. The restaurant was clean and looked nice. My only complaint is that we were ignored for about 10 + minutes before someone come over to offers us drinks and take out order.

It's been years since I've been to Cava and it was great to see the quality hasn't changed one bit! We went for their brunch and opted to order off the a la carte menu. Between the 3 of us, we shared 5 dishes : crazy feta dip , grilled shrimp, Saganaki, scallop risotto and village frittata and we loved all the dishes. The Saganaki is one not to miss in my opinion. The dish is flambéed table side and is such a crowd pleaser, and is equally delicious as is entertaining- fried cheese , what's not to like !? Both the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly , and the crazy feta dip is a simple favorite. Total came to $75 pre tip including 2 mimosas which overall we definitely found to be a better deal than the brunch mania for our style of eating and drinking. The manager stopped by to ask how everything was, and service was great overall. They did forget the chicken souvlaki we ordered, but it ended up working out because we were so full after those initial 5 dishes! I would definitely recommend Cava as a solid establishment to eat in this area, and quality that can compete with the big cities and a great option if you don't want to trek into dc.

I would recommend anyone to go to Cava Mezze! The service & food are always on point and I love the cozy ambience inside! I stopped by for happy hour (which I was unaware of until I got there) and if you've never been, I'd recommend stopping by for their happy hour so you can try a little bit of everything! My boyfriend got the Old Fashioned which was delicious whereas my gin & tonic could've been a little better (tonic seemed to be a bit flat).

We came here for Sunday brunch and did the brunch mania ($35 for 3 dishes and drink deals that include 25 cent mimosas). They also have a la carte brunch if you don't want to do the brunch mania. The food was fast and service was good as our waiter was attentive. We made the mistake of ordering too many fried dishes, but every dish was good. We got the spankopita (fried), crazy feta hush puppies, zucchini fritters, falafel, and spicy lamb benedict. Biscuits and honey butter are included for the table. My favorite were the crazy feta hush puppies, and everything else was good. It is a lot of food and I ended up taking some home. We got the grapefruit mimosas and those were also good. It's definitely a good brunch option in the area.

The weekend brunch is a good value. It's not like your typical music/lounge DC brunch vibes- rather, it's a great option for those in the neighborhood. Nice mix of Mediterranean and traditional brunch foods. The mimosas are only 25¢ if you indulge in the brunchmania option. They weren't watered down either lol Will definitely be adding this to my list of local favorites.

Cava Mezze turned out to be the best last minute, plan B brunch decision we could've made. With only an hours notice I was easily able to snag a 12:15pm brunch reservation for four. Our friends arrived a couple minutes before us , and were greeted by the owner who said he'd stop by our table when he heard it was their first time. He kept that promise and stopped by to welcome us, share a bit about Cava, and had saganaki (fried cheese, cooked with fire right front of us) brought over. The $35 brunch deal was a ton of food. I got the braised beef, gyro hash, and the crazy feta hush puppies. Id get all of it again but maybe not together since it ended up being a lot of potatoes between the beef and gyro. They didn't skimp on the meat in anything, so major points for that. The lamb Benedict my fiance got could've turned out dry but Cava did it right - a delicious, juicy lamb patty on an English muffin. They don't have as many vegan options as the fast food Cava but our vegan friend was able to eat the brussel sprouts minus the yogurt sauce and the falafel. Lots of vegetarian options though. I wish I felt like drinking more because the 25 cent mimosas weren't just juice, so I felt like I got my monies worth. If you're looking for a solid brunch option, definitely check them out.

Cava Mezze was actually my introduction to Cava years ago, and I've found myself at CAVA for bowls frequently. Visiting home however means a trip to Cava Mezze! It's a dark, intimate restaurant, polar opposite of how you feel walking into a CAVA which totally is part of the charm. We were greeted with pita and olive oil, and then my dad and I ordered beef meatballs, Brussel sprouts, gyros, chicken souvlaki, and falafel. I wasn't a huge fan of the falafel, but I'm sure it's because I was imagining Mediterranean falafel and got Greek falafel, which is my mistake. The tahini/honey it was on top of however... I dipped almost everything else in it. The brussels were the perfect amount of crispy on the outside. The meatballs were incredibly juicy and still cooked through. My dad loved the gyros; 3 of them was a lot of food. The souvlaki was great too, but we didn't have enough stomach to finish it so it's in our fridge!!!

After living in the area for so long, we finally decided to try something different. The weather was nice, not too hot or cold. And it was early evening on a weekday (around 5pm); not too crowded. We were so happy they allowed us to bring our dog to the outside seating area. Of course, you have to be vigilant about where to sit and be aware of the foot traffic that might distract your furry companions. The lovely Dave was our server. He was very welcoming and attentive. Asked us if our dog needed water, answered our questions, gave us recommendations, and listened to our requests (such as how we wanted the saltiness of the food, adjusting the sweetness of the mocktails). For the appetizer we got the Mezze Plate, which was quite filling, with some ginger beer (house squeezed ginger syrup) and I got the passion fruit. The description for my drink mentioned lavender, however, the passion fruit flavor negated any of the lavender even when I asked for the drink to be less sweet. So, it probably was not the drink for me. However, I did very much enjoy the ginger beer as it was refreshing. The ginger wasn't too overwhelming or spicy and the sweetness (less as possible) was just right. Next on the course, came the Lamb Chops; asked for it to be cooked medium rare. It was slightly over cooked (more on the medium side), but it looked and tasted gorgeous. It was juicy and seasoned well with some gamey hints. I am one for that type of flavor in my lamb, but the for those who aren't a fan, it's not terribly noticeable. Keep in mind, if you want to ask for another side to replace the fries it comes with, there's an up charge. Mom got the Spanakorizo; she finished her plate so quick, I can only imagine it was good for her. Lastly, our favorite as well as memorable dish: the Scallop Risotto (mushroom); we even asked for another! The first plate was still a bit salty (even at less salt), but Dave helped us tell the chef to put no salt and it was PERFECT. Scallops in general are hard to cook. So for the chef to cook it a second time, equally if not better, was spectacular to eat. It also showed us the level of skill the chef and the kitchen had. So I hope they and the rest of the establishment knows how impressed we were of this dish. Unfortunately, we were too full for any dessert. However, it will be something to look for the next time. Thank you all for a wonderful first impression and meal. I will definitely come back again with high hopes and better idea of what to get; we'll be hungry for more!

Came here for brunch with a friend. They had a Brunch Mania special where you pick 1 small plate from 3 categories for around $38. Me and my friend decided to do the al a cart menu since we were only interested in two dishes, the steak and eggs and French toast. Usually me and my friends would spilt a French toast, waffle or pancakes and get our own individual entries and at $15 for French toast it seemed like a good idea. Well we were wrong. We recieved 1 piece of toast with a pile of cream and at $15 just didn't seem like it was worth the price for what you get. The steak and eggs meal was around $19 which was pretty fair in my opinion. Overall the food was well seasoned but portioned small. Also the service was ok. The bartender ended up being our server and had to juggle drinks and waiting our table so not the most attentive but he did the best he could and even coped a drink from our tab for the wait so pleasant surprise . Overall food was good but not a place I would come back to.

Not sure what happened to this place. I used to go there once or twice a week before the pandemic and it was simply awesome. I was there the first week it opened. Probably one of the better restaurants I've been. Menu options and food quality matched that of a genuine Greek restaurant. I used to take my guests and coworkers and felt proud of the Greek cuisine. I visited this place after we started going back to work and I didn't recognize it. Where all the options went? What happened to the restaurant? Other than the furniture, everything else changed for the worse. Terrible menu, food so and so, terrible service, ridiculously expensive for what they are offering. One thing is for sure. Not going there again :(

When you offer half-priced bottles of wine on Tuesdays, but are out of ALL red wine except one bottle of the Pino noir and the "house red." Oh, and also fail to mention that when patrons **specifically** call before coming over asking about Tuesday wine specials. Maybe next visit. ***UPDATE*** Initally rated 1 star. Although comments to the restaurant staff working last night were ignored, I got an immediate response from this review and was informed that the regional manager was bringing wine to the restaurant to correct the issue. Love the quick response!!! Hope other patrons who showed up were able to enjoy some wine!

Came here for brunch and was not disappointed. The food was quick to come out and everything tasted pretty good. If you're familiar with Cava, this is a more upscale restaurant version of the fast food place. I ordered a la carte, although there is a prix fixe menu for brunch that makes more sense if you're in the mood for mimosas or cocktails. The crazy feta with pita was probably my favorite, and the BOP lemonade was super tart and refreshing. The braised beef and eggs was decent, but I definitely would not write home about it. The biscuits were the most forgettable part of the experience. The portions for everything were substantial and definitely shareable, which is a plus. All-in-all, it was a great brunch and I would be happy to come back. This location is perfect for fulfilling that brunch craving while being a great local option, especially if you aren't in the mood to drive to DC.

Recently got in for lunch with friends. Really enjoyed the food and service here. We are frequent customers of the fast-casual Cavas, but had never managed to get here till now. It's not big -- glad we had a reservation for the 4 of us. The online menu is shorter than what we were handed. We started with the Mezze Tasting combination app platter that included hummus, crazy feta spread, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), pita pieces, and olives, and an order of spanakopita. Everything was quite good, but the spanakopita and dolmades, my favorite Greek dishes, were phenomenal. For mains, we men ordered gyro sammies, and the women ordered salads with protein. Again, very good. I even ate all my fries, which I try to avoid anymore. We were persuaded to share a few desserts, despite being sated; they were lovely. We'll come again.

So I wasn't impressed with this place even though I was excited to try it initially. They have a brunch on Sundays that we decided to try for a birthday party. They give you bite size plates and you get 3 of them from a choice style menu. There are different options to choose from or you can double up on something you like. When the first course came out my food was the last to come after about 20 mins and me asking where it was and the waiter brushed it off like it was nothing. Keep it mind it was just French fries lol. The brunch is $38 but the whole table has to participate or no one can do the brunch option. Another thing i didn't like because I wasn't really hungry and just wanted the drinks. The mimosas are an additional .25 per cup and are not bottomless FYI. I also asked for my eggs to be fried hard and they came out super sunny side up and I hate runny eggs. I also tried the steak and eggs and it was ok. The chicken was good. And the banana fritters were good. The tables are also very close together. The dinner menu looked good so maybe I'll try that next time.

I came here for dinner with my parents on a Saturday night around 5:30 PM in November 2019. This was right when the restaurant opened for dinner; I'd say if you arrive this early you probably don't need a reservation since it's pretty empty. However, when we left maybe 70 minutes later, the place was packed and there was a long line to be seated. This was my first time at this Cava Mezze location, although I'd previously been to a few locations in DC/Northern Virginia and loved the food there. The restaurant is small and dark, but has a nice, intimate ambiance (the fact that the place is dark makes the saganaki look cooler when they flambé it) and the service was really friendly and helpful. Our server was very enthusiastic about the food and happy to help us decide on what to order and what would be enough food for the table. Since the plates are small, it's recommended that you order several for the table to share. I definitely prefer this, since it means you get to try a little bit of everything. We ordered the crazy feta hush puppies, mini lamb gyros, lamb meatballs, the butterflied branzino, the beet salad, and the sweet potatoes. Everything tasted amazing, but the MVPs were definitely the crazy feta hush puppies. These were so fresh and warm, and the sweet honey butter perfectly offset the spiciness of the crazy feta. I could inhale a whole plate of these. I also really enjoyed the mini gyros; I love gyros, but I think the mini size was ideal to get a taste of the gyro and still have room to try other things. Honestly, everything tasted fantastic, and I'd happily order everything again. I'd made a reservation on OpenTable and it came with a free order of Loukoumades, the homemade Greek donuts. Our server had us choose between 3 topping options: cinnamon sugar, honey & crushed walnuts, or Nutella. We went with the honey & crushed walnuts and were very happy with our choice. Unfortunately, we were too full to finish all the food we got, and wound up taking a couple things home, including 1 lamb meatball, a good 75% of the branzino, and 3 loukoumades. The branzino and lamb meatball reheated pretty well, but the loukoumades did not (although I didn't expect them to--they really should be enjoyed on the spot!). Definitely stop by here if you're in the area! The restaurant is located in a pretty convenient spot, with plenty of free, easy parking nearby.

Rated it 5 stars only because yelp doesn't have 6 stars!!! Hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to!!! Awesome drinks, delicious food, and service is beyond excellent. Always loved the one in DC, and now this one is my new favorite. Spent my birthday here, and the owner /manager Gus made sure that we had a good time. First I was surprised that how busy it is on a cold rainy Thursday night, later on I found out the reason why, because everything about this restaurant is just amazing. Looking forward to my next meal here!

I loooove this place!!! Everything on the menu is so freakin' good..and the customer service is so attentive and courteous. Im baffled as to why Im now finding out about this place. My favorite items on the menu are the crazy feta hush puppies and lamb sliders. sorry, no food pics, yelp peeps...everything is literally too good to wait for the snap. oh..and there's no cell service or wifi within the bricked restaurant, but the food is so good, you probably wouldn't notice. overall, highly recommend!

We got takeout tonight to bring to Windridge winery. It was really convenient to get the family meal to share with friends. Everything was delicious! We got a side of crazy feta, which is my favorite!

Delicious food, great view of planes taking off and landing! Too bad they are only open for breakfast and lunch!
