Cava’s Mediterranean Bowls Arrive in Chicago This Week | Eater Chicago

"Slated to open this summer at 890 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Vernon Hills, this suburban location will mirror the chain’s bowl- and pita-focused Mediterranean menu and value-oriented, nutrition-minded options. Its quick follow-up to the Chicago debut signals an aggressive regional expansion—part of a nationwide growth push that added dozens of locations last year, included a 2023 public offering, and aims for a much larger footprint—reflecting nearly two decades of development by the founders and suggesting more area openings may follow." - Naomi Waxman

Mediterranean style bowl restaurant. Restaurant is always packed and service is pretty slow. Would make up for it if the food was amazing but that’s lacking as well. It’s also pretty expensive

CAVA is finally in the Midwest and it is delicious! I love the Steak + Harissa bowl, and that is what I definitely recommend. The prices are quite high, so don’t expect to pay anything less than $13. The service is good but they are a little slow due to how many people are in line. The atmosphere is bright and modern. I tried the beverages they have and the only one I liked was the lemonade; I didn’t have either of the teas, though. Overall, I enjoy coming to CAVA but wish it wasn’t so expensive. 4 stars!

Excellent service, the gentlemen that was making our bowl was attentive and sweet. I believe a manager stepped out as well, who was also very nice. Now the FOOD…. Oh my gosh. Truly better than other places that have a similar cuisine that I’ve tried. Their chicken is juicy and seasoned very well. And you HAVE TO ADD PICKLES TO YOUR DISH IF YOU’RE A PICKLE KIND OF PERSON BECAUSE THEY ARE TYE BEST! 10/10 would recommended. My boyfriend and I regulars, we eat here all the time 😁

Genuinely one of the most upkept and clean restaurants in its area. Crew is amazingly welcoming, meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked, veggies and toppings prepped amazingly. I have no words. Ive eaten here so many time and each visit tops the last. I never new i'd be able to visit a food establishment where i can say the service exceeds my expectations but yet here we are. Fast, friendly, AND CLEAN. Thank you to all the lovely workers that serve me each time I visit im so grateful ☺️

Delicious, fresh Mediterranean food! Easy to order and nice staff! They have an abundance of healthy options. The pita chips are must to try.

Amazing place that has delicious food and cold drinks. The moment you walk in the place a blast of spices hit your nose. Small but cozy establishment. The tables are not movable, so couple sitting only. Plenty of parking.

Absolutely! Here’s a longer, polished review that captures the vibe and flavors of the new Mediterranean spot: --- 🌟 A Flavorful Gem in Town! 🌟 We recently tried the new Mediterranean restaurant on the block, and it absolutely blew us away. The staff made us feel welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant—ideal for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner date. Every dish bursts with authentic flavor and fresh ingredients. The spicy lamb and avocado combo was a knockout—perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat and richness. My wife couldn’t stop raving about the harissa chicken wrap, which was tender, flavorful, and wrapped in a soft, warm pita that tasted homemade. Portions are generous, so definitely come hungry. If you’re a fan of bold Mediterranean flavors and top-tier service, this place is a must try.

Food was very good. Service is glacially slow. Shockingly slow. Great food - did I mention that? It’s about 30 minutes from my place and worth the drive. My daughter heard about it from TikTok. 🙂
