CAVA

Fast, friendly service. I love the build your own pita & the pita chips & hummus. They also have a great variety of flavorful drinks! My favorite is the cane sugar root beer!

I had such a great experience at CAVA thanks Lex! She was so kind, professional, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. You can tell she truly cares about the customers and her team. the whole restaurant had such a positive vibe. It’s rare to see someone so involved and genuine. I’ll definitely be coming back because of the great service and welcoming atmosphere Lex creates!

I had a great experience here, on Zelda Road. I brought my girlfriend a couple for the first time. It was her first time eating here and she loved it! The manager Bethany was so helpful in employees were highly informed and courteous on all the ingredients relevant allergy information. The food is fresh full of flavor and tasted consistent with the recipes and experience that I’ve had at other CAVA restaurants!!! I would definitely recommend eating here.

Amazing First Experience at CAVA! My family and I visited CAVA for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the fresh and vibrant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, guiding us through the menu and offering great suggestions. We each built our own bowls, and the quality of ingredients was outstanding—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The variety of toppings and sauces made it easy to customize our meals just the way we liked them. My son especially enjoyed picking out his ingredients, and my wife and I appreciated how healthy yet satisfying everything was. The portions were generous, and the flavors were bold without being overwhelming. Whether it was the tender grilled chicken, the spicy harissa, or the creamy hummus, every bite was delicious. It’s rare to find a place that combines convenience, quality, and nutrition so well. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! CAVA has definitely earned a spot in our regular rotation. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and flavorful meal!

Not a very good evening, I was just here with a friend catching up grabbing a bite & the lady at the front working the line with the piercing tonight was being greedy with the portions. She was half scooping every item because she was in a rush to close. They close at 10 I came around 840ish. By the time I got my bowl it was only about 1/4 filled with everything included. They advertise full bowls just to get crumbs.

Food was delicious and the staff was friendly, talkative and welcoming!

For great food, a great atmosphere and friendly staff, I strongly recommend Cava on Zelda Rd . Haven't been here in a while so I was a little confused but Rick was awesome at helping me with my choices. Patience is a virtue, and his was outstanding. I highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to try Cava

Used to be my favorite place, not anymore. Under new management or partially new staff, but is quite the sad bunch and obviously under a lot of stress. The manager stands over the staff and cashier's shoulder as if she is micro managing the Little Rascals. She moves them out of the way to do their job while they stand beside her looking pitiful. This is my second encounter with her acquaintance and I am more turned off than the first time with this lady. Which was my last visit, I did not report on here because I thought everyone is entitled to have a bad day. This Cava is in a bad season as far as service, and now I see why the workers don't smile anymore. It's the management. This place used to have happy workers and music playing now the tension can be cut with a knife. As I waited for fresh pita chips, I noticed she didn't talk to the military customers the same way and she handled them all with a huge smile on her face. But what was most annoying about this visit and my last visit, this lady kept saying it's going to be extra for this, for every item I wanted more of. As I told her last time, its worth it, just load me up. And just like last time the server at the end goes "we have to tell people that, because they get mad when it's time to pay" and like last time I said I don't mind. But today at lunchtime the lady manager felt it extremely important to specifically tell me it's extra and then give me the smallest corner of these items I am to pay extra for. And she was holding the line up to ensure I understood 😂It was just really tacky, and unnecessary, as if her spirit was saying "the little black girl can't afford her bowl" needless to say after all that drama and Hassle... I don't have an appetite for Cava. I'm uploading my receipt just to show she made such a huge fuss about 3.55 total extra on my bowl and 5.90 on my husband's bowl and ...look at my previous pics the bowl looks no different, and infact the old pics of the bowls looks way better than this present expensive bowl. 🙂‍↔️I am not the customer looking for a handout and freebies. Im that customer seeking a good experience with good vibes and good food. Last time my falafel was a bit mushy😒, and I am too disappointed today to taste it. And to the Manager reading this- You never know who walks in your place of business, Authors, Astronauts or Arborists...they all deserve good treatment. I am just so happen to be an author who decided to patronize your place of business today. Thanks for the wack tacky experience. Ayana Louise Reaves, Founder & Author, Golden Eye Healing

I'm leaving a review because I was very impressed with the service Here - Leanne and Jackie were super accommodating! The food seemed really fresh and they didn't mind honoring my multiple requests. Tips 1) all of the meats are really good. 2) one of the few restaurants that are open until 10 PM in this area 3) they make the harissa pita chips fresh

Have been wanting to try Cava for such a long time and am so glad I stopped here for lunch today. It is like a Mediterranean version of chipotle. Anyways I got a salad with braised lamb, tzatziki, and just about every veggie and it was absolutely incredible!! Will definitely be back! Braised lamb was delicious and I got a good portion

I love CAVA, they're the best when they make the corn fresh and they have just set out vegetables. A great place for vegans to eat at too. I love that some of their drinks are also sugar free!

I'm always going to gravitate towards cava instead of chipotle because its cheaper and healthier and honestly tastier. cava is always a yum for me, its relatively priced for what you get. the quality of everything is good and fresh and the workers are always kind. the cava atmosphere is very chill and zen which i like.

This was my first time eating at this location. The food was good but when it comes to the protein the servers are very stingy. The lemonade was descent but I've had better lemonade. The restaurant was nice and clean. My customer service experience would have been better if I didn't have to wait 15 minutes in line.

We initially went to Jerusalem Restaurant; however, after wanting a steak kabob we learned that they mix lamb with their ground beef so it truly wasn't "steak". I googled other nearby Med restaurants and this one came up and a friend of mine really likes CAVA so we decided to give it a try. We didn't know how it worked and upon entering we were not greeted by the employee taking our orders as she was pretty rude. The other employee putting the toppings on was much nicer. As for the food, it was tasty with high quality ingredients (we ordered the steak bowls); however, I was left wanting more. The roasted red pepper hummus was delish, as was the homemade pita chips (which was essentially pita bread). I would be willing to give another location a try once I get back home, but was otherwise not too impressed and my friend even disliked it more than me.

Excellent Everything. Wouldn't accept tip. FRIENDLY. Not crowded. Plenty of selections. Healthy.

This is my very first CAVA experience ever. The food is delirious. I built a bowl. I basically just guessed what I wanted because the staff is horrible. Zero personality. Zero wanting to help the customer other than push the bowl down the line and dip a scoop in whatever you say. I'm not asking for smiles and pep, But a little politeness or help for a first timer.

Cava - this place is awesome. It's like a Mediterranean Chipotle - that's the best way to describe it. You can order the pre-crafted ideas of bowls/pitas OR you can do a DIY grains and/or greens. You can also choose to do grains AND greens. I got the greens and grains bowl where you can mix and match your favorite greens and grains to build a bowl just the way you like it. They have many different greens and different rices, lots of protein choices, toppings, and sauces. It's excellent, refreshing, and we will be back!

Great food and service. I can't wait to go back. The pita chips are great and so was the braised lamb. The chicken was juicy.

The Harissa chicken is spicy and delicious. I usually get a bowl with that, brown rice, marinated cucumbers and onions. I wish they had chickpeas but it's so good, I've been going semi-often. No tips for in store service. I may go back today.

This CAVA is AWESOME! The food is fantastic and always fresh! The employees are the most friendly crew I have been around. They are fast and hardworking. They even worked on the 4th of July! I am their biggest fan. The restaurant is always nice and clean. Great experience. Jody Stewart

Solid CAVA location and each visit I had was great! The inside of the restaurant is spacious and very clean each time I visited. The food itself was excellent and the line moved quickly. Overall: highly recommend this location if you are a Cava fan.

I didn't realize how spoiled I was in DC with Cava until Cava came here to Montgomery. My sister is obsessed, more than me. The folks there are friendly and the food is so fresh and delicious. Definitely try the cookie - such a nice treat. The choice of drinks are also oh so pleasant.

I really enjoy Cava; I've been to a few locations and this one was great too. It appears to be a brand new building so it's very clean and nice inside. We were traveling through Montgomery and I saw this on the map. It was a perfect alternative to most fast food options. I love that it has fresh vegetable options and you can just build your own bowl. The regular hummus, corn, and cucumbers are all delicious. The lemon tahini sauce had a very nice earthy and bright flavor. The fresh juices are amazing. My favorite is the cucumber mint. I'll be back at Cava again soon!

This Cava is a great location! Everyone was very friendly and had excellent service! Zari specifically was very nice and patient with me.

I was in this location yesterday and had the best experience. The ladies working upfront were so nice and courteous answering all of my questions and the flavors are to die for.!

Food was good. Bathrooms were clean. They were understaffed. The lady taking the orders was not friendly, but she was effective. All of the napkin holders were empty. It was clear that the management must be either having a difficult time keeping people or mistreating the people working.

Delicious!!!!! The food was very tasty and the in house made juices are really good I wish we had one CAVA in our area

Great food and service. Our family loves the quaint atmosphere and the healthy food options, they are always fresh.

We tried this place out and wow the food was amazing. If you are looking for a healthy alternative to fast food, this is the place to go!! The service was excellent. It's a very busy atmosphere so if you are looking for something that is on the go then this place is for you! Highly recommend

This was my first time eating at this establishment. There were multiple employees working so it was nice to see that they were not understaffed like so many other places I have recently visited. The facility was clean, including the food workstation.. the drink station was kept clean and All the employees came out at one point to change the trash bags and clean up. The food was amazing! I got the chicken and right rice bowl. Will definitely be returning!

Great service, food and atmosphere. Seating area was clean. Employees were friendly. No complaints. Try the pita chips!

Order off the menu or make your own salads and pita sandwiches. Order through the app and it's ready when you arrive. Come in, pick it up off the rack, and walk out. No interaction required. You can also order and eat in the restaurant. Casual dining inside with patio seating if you enjoy being outside. All the soft drinks are made with cane sugar instead or corn syrup if that matters to you. Seasonal beverages are also available. Highly recommend.

Once again, Eastchase Cava location didn't disappoint! Great food and service! My new favorite!

Amazing! Great Service, workers are very friendly not like the rude ones in Chipotle. Definitely should try the Harissa Avocado Bowl has a little kick to it. My only complaint is the tables were sticky!

Fresh food, great service, clean, prompt service, healthy portions, and fresh ingredients

Cava has the best food super delicious. Never feel heavy after. The customer service is always a struggle, I don't know if it was the fact that I came in after lunch but the servicer was very rude. Gave me very little portions which I have never received before. Acting as if he was in a rush. He was trying to make up for bringing down rude but the damage was done. I'll go back because the food was good. But I'll be ordering ahead so I don't have to deal with bad service

Overall great. But they keep undercooking lentils. Couple times have even almost chipped a tooth due to them essentially being almost as hard as tiny BB pellets! Once in a while they cook them right but often it ruins an otherwise great meal biting into what feels like a bunch of tiny rocks. Otherwise 5 stars!

Shoutout to Coach and Chan! They had great suggestions and were welcoming. Our first time at a CAVA and it did not disappoint. The chicken salad + chicken pita was filling and refreshing. Will be back tomorrow!

I got the Chicken and RightRice salad. Very fresh ingredients-- delicious salad. You can add on extra toppings-- I had kalamata olives added. Great place for a quick and healthy meal.

Food was fresh! There are a few gluten free and vegan combinations that you can do. I had the black lentils, roasted vegetables, and olives. Was Delicious!

Cava is one of my favorite places to eat at, especially after church on Sundays . However, today was very unpleasant the female manager they have working was really rude. It was very distasteful and makes me not want to come back to Cava because of the poor customer service I received on this visit.

Let me start by saying I really want this place to succeed. The food is always good and I love their teas and lemonades. However, I entered this visit on a Saturday @3:15p.m. There appeared to be about 6-7 employees-all in the back of the restaurant. The entire dining space was empty, every table was dirty, items on the floor and trash was overflowing. I ordered and received my bowl with drink cup. Employees were pleasant. Ice machine was not working even though ice cubes were lying on the grate under the dispenser. I informed an employee and was told THEN that it wasn't working-after being charged for a drink. The bathroom was in complete disarray with trash overflowing. I was there for about 20 minutes and a few other customers came in but it was not busy-at all. Finally, when I got up to leave someone was emptying the trash. But tables were all still dirty and everything else mentioned earlier-same condition. Really hope the management takes notice and makes some changes.

Fantastic food! Bursting with true Mediterranean flavor and service to match! Having visited many times since its opening, the staff is consistently surpassing my expectations. Friendly and accommodating!! I love the basic aesthetics of the dining room. Clean with simplicity. Plus, the food is nutritious and fresh.. so I leave feeling healthy and satisfied!

Great alternative to traditional fare! Greek style deliciousness and a young crew. The GM is friendly while training her teenage crew, and they are doing great! The food is tasty - mine was the spicy lamb meatball pita in a salad form, and two thumbs waaaay up!!! They have recently opened, so the crew is still figuring out how to work optimally together, but they are off to a great start. This will be a regular spot for us!

CAVA- you had a GREAT opening when you first came to Montgomery. But you are short-staffed all the time. Great food, just not enough help.

Food was really good and fresh. I got the spicy chicken pita and husband did a custom bowl with lamb and rice. Chicken was so flavorful. I would recommend this place! Only complaint was the cost, I know everything is going up unfortunately, so not sure if we can afford to come back but I love this type of food.

Great healthy lunch with quick service. Friendly staff. everything was fresh and delicious

Harissa bowl hit EVERY TIME! Add pickled onions and garlic sauce to it! Chef's kiss!!!

Nice options for vegans to make it yourself. Fair price, decent quality and quantity. Nice help and service!

CAVA !!!!! OMG this restaurant was sooo good! It was really clean and the workers were nice with helping me decide what to eat since it was my first trying it. I customized my own bowl with saffron basmati rice as a and romaine salad as a base, half grilled chicken, half harissa honey chicken, and Cesar dressing. Highly recommended !!! MUST TRYYYYY

so delicious. i absolutely devoured my bowl. service is great and pointed me in the right direction for what to order. the restaurant itself was really neat, workers paid close attention to tables ensuring their cleanliness. Will definitely come back again.

I ate at CAVA in November and had CAVA Lava afterwards. There is a lot going on in their bowls. System shock!

Loved it, was only in town for 5 days but ate here 3 times. The blueberry lavender lemonade is amazing. But the lamb meatballs are *chefs kiss* so good. Everything was so good. 10/10 do recommend

Very nice lunch option, light and fresh. I love the selection of base (rice, pita, lentils, lettuce) and proteins, plus a nice selection of salads and sauces. 5 minutes from start to finish and your food is in your mouth, and it tastes great too.

Friday night I decided on dinner from Cava. It was my first time trying Cava and I decided to explore all of their vegan options. I ordered in the restaurant and took my food to go. I had a build your own bowl with romaine lettuce, brown rice, falafel, cucumber tomato salad, with a tahini caesar dressing. This was my first time trying falafel and it was not too bad. Everything in my the bowl was very fresh and I was in and out of the restaurant within 10 minutes. I went during a time that seemed to be very busy for them, but the workers were very friendly and willing to help me choose between the many options. There were no COVID 19 precautions still in place at this location, but the seating was not too close to one another. I will definitely visit Cava again.

Food was great the pita bread is to die for and even better is the drinks they have. Great environment everyone was also friendly

Very friendly service. Standing in line seems to take a while because the place is loud and busy at lunch. The selections can be confusing, and you may feel rushed with people waiting behind you as you try to figure out which combinations would be best. But still probably faster than sitting at a table waiting to be served. Food is very good, but some locals may find the selections a bit unusual (think "Greek Poke Bowl"...e.g. rice on top of lettuce with roasted lamb in gravy sauce and a scoop of feta cheese dip?) Very good tea (cucumber mint) and all of the food ingredients were fresh and delicious. Very good lunch for $14 with large drink.
