CAVA

Very Good! The food here is very fresh and tastes great! Several meats to choose from as well as great options for vegan or vegetarian meals. No spice or lots of spice meals. They offer a variety of healthy drinks as well as “healthier” soda options. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the line to order food can be quite long and typically does not move quickly, as each bowl is made to order. The dining area and tables can be dirty at times. Located at The Mall at Green Hills. Shared mall parking but entrance to Cava from outside the mall. Dining in or to go.

Visited Cavas in Nashville today and got the chicken salad bowl and the food was freaking amazing! My family will definitely be back we could not find parking. Considering the amount of people there the wait wait wasn’t extremely long. Fresh and very healthy alternative to hamburgers and fries. Highly recommend this restaurant. A+

Love CAVA! Green Hills location is the absolute best! The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the employees and manager are seriously awesome. Everyone is friendly and makes the experience easy and enjoyable. One of my favorite go to spots.

I love Cava. This is my first time at this location. I must say I was not impressed as the place was filthy. No tables had been cleaned and floored was just nasty. People had to clean their own tables if they wanted to eat it in. I'm not sure if I will be back at this location or not.

1000/10!!! This place is amazing. Visiting Nashville for the weekend, and decided to stop by and try what the CAVA rave was all about…I must say It was all worth it! The flavors are amazing! Fresh meats and dressings! The fresh juices were amazing as well! Even the GM Rami came out to greet us as first time customers! Will definitely be returning! CAVA come to Memphis please!

The Harissa Avocado bowl had such potential, but they put way too much sauce on it and the food became inedible due to spice. I would recommend, but be careful if your spice tolerance isn’t high.

Absolutely love this CAVA location! Every time I visit, the staff is friendly, quick, and super helpful if you're unsure what to order. The ingredients are always fresh, and everything tastes amazing — from the spicy lamb meatballs to the perfect toppings and sauces. The space is clean and welcoming, and they keep things moving even during busy lunch hours. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Green Hills for a healthy, flavorful meal. Highly recommend!

Avocado and falafel were out of stock so we just got a veggie bowl. Tables were not clean. Overall, decent place for quick vegetarian dinner in Nashville.

I eat here 1-2 times a week and they're always friendly, quick, and the food is ALWAYS fresh! They have a small little patio area to sit and enjoy the weather. Ask for Robbie the next time you're in because he's truly awesome! Felicia

very good food, place, service, and friendly people who works there! Will be back for sure!

Stopped by this CAVA in Nashville for a quick dinner and was impressed by how fast and efficient the line moved -- even during the dinner rush. The staff kept things moving smoothly, and everything looked clean and fresh. The menu was a bit limited, and it seemed like 99% of folks were doing bowls, but I went for the shawarma pita instead. Flavor-wise -- excellent! The ingredients were fresh, vibrant, and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken. That said, there was one hiccup. It looked like the staff member making my order was reading the steps off a card, which is totally fine -- everyone learns somewhere! But maybe it wasn't written on the card to drain the onions before adding them, because by the time I got back to my hotel (a 3-minute walk), the entire paper wrap was soaked. The vinegar and sauce mix had completely drenched the pita, making it nearly impossible to eat without a fork. So overall -- great taste, great ingredients, friendly service, but maybe a little more attention to prep details (especially draining the toppings) would take this from good to great. Would definitely come back -- just probably sticking to the bowl next time!

I love CAVA and this is one of the locations I used to frequent when I worked over here. Today found myself with time to visit again and had a fabulous lunch. The staff is kind and this spot is usually busy, thankfully there is plenty of outdoor seating as it gets very loud inside. I love being able to hit my macronutrients here - usually go for 1/2 lentils and 1/2 greens to bulk up on fiber with grilled chicken and all the desired veggies, I love the red pepper hummus and eggplant dips with the yogurt fill dressing! Also gotta love their Maine Root drinks that are real sugar cane based if you want a sweet treat!

Fresh, clean, fast , full of flavor , happy environment. The manager/ owner is 100% involved . Team is happy to be working. Makes you feel welco

I could eat cava every day and not get tired of it. It's just one of those things. I don't really understand. The thing is I do order very regularly and my order is always spot on and consistent. I know exactly what I'm gonna get every time I order and I think that is crucial. I have never had an issue with a missing or late order when I order ahead or for delivery so they've got that all figured out as well.

First time at Cava and I'm hooked. Food was fresh and delicious and the service was top tier. And special shout out to Rami. His hospitality was unmatched! Hands down 10/10.

This was my first time at cava and of course I had to check and see what the hype was about! I ordered the Harissa Avocado bowl ! The ordering process was easy, I actually ordered it how it came and made no changes. The bow was fulfilling and I felt light after eating it.

The ambiance at cava at green hills is very clean and welcoming. I was greeted immediately by the staff "Welcome to Cava"! With smiling faces, the food is fresh, tasty, and full of flavor I will definitely be back!

Got a chicken bowl and it was delicious! The customer service was fast and friendly. Great experience at CAVA.

We had braised lamb and we believe were given expired food. Me and my wife both had diarrhea after having it. Expected better quality from Cava.

Love Cava! So glad to have one convenient to the mall after a day of shopping. Always great food and the service was friendly.

Ambiance; loud and chaotic. Go through line to get your bowl or pita. Staff friendly and accommodating. Pleasant shock, NO Tipping. Portions are two or three meals. Food is fresh and tasty. Not cheap but decent value.

This salad at Cava is like a Mediterranean vacation in a bowl! Picture crisp romaine, zesty arugula and rice mingling with juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and feta. Then there's the star grilled chicken that's perfectly seasoned and it was so tender with creamy hummus, briny olives, and a duo of dressings that make your taste buds do a happy dance. If your lunch needs excitement this Greek salad is the one to bet on. Oh and the service was definitely top tier everyone was super friendly and helpful.

had really good food and really good service first time going and will come back and thanks to the worker named george who helped me out

Not even worth a star. I guess I caught every employee on their worst day ever and was barely given enough food for an infant. Build your own bowls starting at $11 and my order unfathomably ending up at $28 after asking for a little extra protein. Service is as trash food was even worse and save your money and just eat a frozen meal from dollar general

The food is delicious - it has a lot of healthy options and the service is friendly, though the ambiance is a bit chaotic because of how many people want to eat here (which is a good thing, in a way). However, recently they have been giving almost half of the portion of food as before. Just like Chipotle and other similarly-styled establishments did for a while, they are trying to give you less food for the same price. Shrinkflation, if you will. I don't know if I will be back until they adjust their portions to the regular amount.

The food was good, but we eat here all the time back home and the fill the bowls. We asked for a specific bowl but then I decided I wanted lamb they chard fed me double and they were so rude! I know it's not California and the people aren't laid back like us in the south but no need to be rude. Overall the food was good if you look past how rude the staff was!!

Just tried CAVA for the first time and was impressed! Food was tasty and so fresh while being super fast! I had the chicken and rice bowl and loved it! So much flavor and plenty of food! The employee making my bowl wasn't super friendly but they were about 20 minutes from closing so they might have just been eager to do that. Overall great experience!

Absolutely love Cava! The service is great and the food is always so tasty and fresh. This location is perfect and the inside is clean and casual.

Absolutely disgusting! Gross! Food may be fine, haven't eaten yet, but couldn't get to Yelp fast enough to express displeasure and dismay that a dining establishment in Green Hills could be so dirty. 9 of 10 tables had not been wiped after prior customer, and watching end of day clean up in the kitchen was almost as bad. Corporate should be in here TOMORROW before Metro Health locks the door. Who the hell owns this franchise location??

I came here today for a salad. I built my own salad with RightRice, supergreens, grilled chicken, corn, onions, feta, tomato and cucumbers, crazy feta and the lemon herb tahini dressing. The food is so good here if you're looking for a healthy option. I got my salad to go but the restaurant is good for a quick bite for lunch. The service was good and I will definitely be back.

I stop by this place often, I order almost the same thing everytime, and the they are best - very kind and by now they already know the toppings I'm adding by heart. Very hard working and nice pleasant environment!

We love Cava but things are off with the location. The portions here aren't correct. The rice doesn't even cover the bottom of the bowl and the toppings are half scoops at best. When you're paying $15 for a bowl- it should be consistent with other Cava locations. I've started going to the one on 21st ave because they haven't shrunk their bowls. Downtowns location also still serves the standard sizes. I really hope this Cava circle back to the usual standards of Cava!

First time at one of these restaurants. I like it. It's a chipotle style set up so you get your food your way. I ended up getting chicken bowl with mixed brown rice and greens. Fiery corn, fiery broccoli and taziki sauce. I would change much. It was a good choice.

The best cava location ever fr, great service and big portions!!! so friendly and patient with all guests

I ALWAYS order online for an easy pick up process. The line is often very long at this location. Parking is also a nightmare but the food is worth it! The new steak option is so tender and full of flavor!

My first time visiting this location. Food is good per usual but service leaves a lot to be desired.

Lots of fresh healthy options with great staff to guide the way. Stumbled on to this bright clean space and left full and happy.

The perfect spot for a quick and healthy bite while you do your shopping! The staff is the some of the friendliest, Abraham is a rock star and makes everyone feel welcomed. The food is fresh and flavorful, the staff is always happy to make recommendations and answer any questions. The drinks are so tasty and I love the variety of cold teas to pick from; the flavor combinations and seasonal specials are truly delicious. Will definitely be back.

service is rude and portions are much smaller than at other locations. barely gave any food, even after asking continually for more.

Everything I say below stands. Great location. Great options. Great dressings you can buy by the bottle. However, since I've started eating here 4 months ago, I've been back at least 15 times for lunch. Unfortunately it's rather disappointing. The last 4 times, I've received giant uncooked potatoes in my salad that I ultimately have to throw away as inedible. I keep ordering as I think 'they messed up this time' but it's 4 times now. Over it. Also my spinach the last few times is a little wet/slimy/old/expired looking. Had to spit out in trash can. Not sure what's happening to this location lately, but I'm not loving it anymore. I hope they get on their A game soon.

Stopped in for a quit lunch before doing some shopping with my wife and daughter. We have been traveling and our diet hasn't been great. What a nice change of pace this place was! I had the Market Spice bowl. The spicy falafel was delicious! My family enjoyed their chicken bowl creations, as well. Very good food with fresh ingredients.

4 star food. It was great. But whoever was working tonight was the rudest food service employee I've ever encountered. She lied multiple times. Rolled her eyes constantly at a customer. Quite disgusted with her demeanor and lack of leadership. Negative energy flowing out of that kitchen. Will never return to this location.

Wonderful fast service - yummy food!! Great walkable location. Five starts. Yum yum yum

Used to love this place. The service has always not been the best but the food was always good. Recently it's been dirty all the time. Not a clean place to eat. And the portions have definitely shrunk. My bowl the last few times hasn't even been halfway full. Decided I won't be back.

I love this place. Their customer service is great and very friendly! they are also quick if you are in a rush. not to mention the food tastes wonderful. I will be back here again when I come through Nashville.

Let me start this out by saying, I LOVE Cava. So this review is solely based on the experience at this particular location, not the food (because it's BOMB). Management, you are doing your location a major disservice by having these two employees in customer-facing positions. They are both WILDLY rude. I mean, "they would fit right in working at Dick's Last Resort" rude. To no fault of Cava or the employees, this location was super loud when we visited today. Which genuinely made it super hard to hear. The first lady pictured had the WORST "idgaf" attitude the moment our interaction began and made ZERO attempt to speak up AT ALL even though my husband had to ask her like 3-4 times what she was asking. She didn't make any eye contact when mumbling her questions, her body language was screaming that she hated being there, and really just made us feel like we were a bother. When we were finally done with the first lady, we had the pleasure of dealing with the second lady pictured. I cannot stress the sarcasm when I said "pleasure". For context, I told lady #1 I wanted a pita with falafel and I intended to do a "build your own". I didn't catch this at the time, but I guess lady #1 assumed I ordered a pre-selected item from the menu and put a ingredient card next to the pita. Lady #2 starts building it by putting ONE scoop of some green stuff that I hadn't said I wanted. I immediately (and very nicely and apologetically, I might add) said "Oh I'm so sorry, I wanted to build my own! I'm sorry!". This lady proceeds to blatantly roll her eyes and immediately threw the pita away. I would've been totally fine with her just scraping off whatever she scooped onto it instead of wasting it, but whatever. Clearly she couldn't be bothered. I cannot stress how unpleasant both of these women were. I completely understand how difficult customer service is. I worked on the Las Vegas Strip in two retail stores in Caesars Palace and as a Customer Care rep for a utility in Vegas. I was literally the person people press "0" to yell at. It get it more than most people. But these two women were in a piss poor mood from the get-go. They should never be in a customer facing position again. We visited on 3/24/22 around 11:50am.

Excellent. Super fresh (minus the pita bread). Everything was excellent. We both chose our own bowls, I don't think anything you picked would be bad. Great flavors and the ability to go several times than not have the same thing. Go now! You won't regret it.

Fresh, tasty, great variety. Servers are knowledgeable and great customer service. Management is enthusiastic about providing a great experience.

What was I doing before cava? I love a build your own situation and also Mediterranean food, so cava is the perfect place to eat! The portions are large and selections are plentiful. You can't go wrong!

Excellent service from Ben -(Greenhills location). Very accommodating with special requests and staff was nice as well. I would highly recommend checking it out.

Always the best. This location is super convenient on the outside of the mall so I love to stop by for lunch while I'm running errands. The food is always fresh and the staff is always nice and helpful! One of my regular spots for sure!

3.5 stars. I went here for lunch and had never been before. Let me tell you, for someone who eats out a lot, I was pretty confused by this menu and the way they did things. I hopped in line when I got there and saw there were a few menu items and a build your own option. Normally when I try a place for the first time I order something off menu because I don't want my inability to pair ingredients be the reason I don't like a dish. However, when I got up to the line the person working asked what base I wanted. I told her the rice and salad mix, which she then asked me which salad and i told her I wasn't sure because I'd never been before. Then I saw that there were several different ones to choose from behind her. I chose one and then my bowl got passed. The next person asked what I wanted and I couldn't read the ingredients because they were posted in a place that you couldn't see until you were right up on it, which is fine but they were trying to get through the rush and be proactive about it so I just looked at what I could see and told them. When I got to the end I was overwhelmed and had no idea of what I chose oils be good or not. The fact that they have several options is a good thing but when you're in a lunch rush it's a bit crazy for someone who's never been. Also, I never saw any pricing anywhere and I had no idea if I was paying for any extras or if everything was included. All I know is that it was $13 for just the bowl. The bowl itself wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. The newer Radish is far superior in the bowl market in my opinion. Overall if you are looking for a quick option that isn't a salad from next door, this is a good option, but don't let people rush you through.

Stopped here with with a couple friends on a weekend evening off of a friend's recommendation. It was pretty crowded but not too crowded to find a seat. I was initially kind of confused by how the whole thing works, but eventually figured out that it's basically like a Mediterranean Chipotle. I ordered the Greens and Grains bowl with the Grilled Meatballs, and a bunch of other toppings, and I was pretty pleased with my dish. The meatballs in particular were really well seasoned and a good protein choice. The pita crisps also added a nice crunch to my bowl, and the pickled onions a tangy tasty option. Pro-tip: don't forget to say yes to the FREE mini pita that comes with the bowl Overall a pretty good and fairly healthy option for dining out.

There were many things that were amazing at this CAVA. The staff was outstanding and the food was fantastic. Even after they had started cleaning we were helped immediately and the man who helped us was so nice and slow. 10/10 would come again.

Love cava. This one is always busy but the staff does a great job in hurrying up the line and making sure you food is great. I've never had any issues here, but being in the area it's in... I could see some entitled people kicking off over minor inconveniences. The parking is typical pretty full unless you're here early. For how close it is to my business it's become my go to lunch spot.

Cava has incredible service! Shout out to Seha who served my friend and I and food is sooo delicious and filling!!
