    Good bowl
    Andy G.

    Stopped by Cava today and had a great experience. Josh helped us with the toppings and was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely helpful. Mason pointed me toward a few sauces and recommended the honey chicken, which ended up being a great choice. The food was fresh, everything tasted great, and the service made the visit even better. I'll definitely be back.

    Grilled Steak & Harissa Honey Chicken Bowl ($16).
    Carrie Z.

    Got the Grilled Steak & Harissa Honey Chicken bowl ($16). It's a good spot to get your veggies since you customize your own base, toppings, and dressing. Flavor: The spicy items have a good kick and different flavor profiles. Portions: Decent size bowls, though the meat portions felt a little light for the price. Setting: Indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Barely half filled bowls
    Randi B.

    A CAVA bowl is usually two meals for me, in fact, I sometimes get a kids meal if I don't want leftovers. But today when my husband asked what I wanted from CAVA, I opted for a normal bowl so I could have lunch tomorrow too. He ordered online and picked up, luckily checked the bag before he left because the pita was missing. Came home, we opened our bowls and were very disappointed. They were barely half way full and complete sloppy messes. Usually the sauces are placed nicely on top to be able to dip the pita in, but it was all mixed together and I couldn't tell what was what. I asked for broccoli and didn't get it. There was also huge chunks of feta that I did not order, it made it way too salty. My lamb meatballs, which are usually delicious, were on the verge of being burnt and were dense like hockey pucks. This was definitely not worth $15. My husband said the last time he got food from this location, it was also a tiny portion, but he thought it was a one off. Unfortunately Orange was closed today which is why he went to Anaheim Hills, but he said he won't be ordering from this store again.

    Spicy Chicken + Avocado
    Michelle Y.

    This location is 3 miles from me which is great. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Staff were nice and helpful, establishment is clean and plenty of parking spaces in this location. We both got the spicy chicken avocado bowl, it was very good, fresh and generous amount of food. We asked if they offer any military discount and to our surprise they do at least for this location. We definitely will be coming back. Great food great service and lots of parking, highly recommended!

    Bowls, pita chips, blueberry soda

    Came in during a lunch rush, the line went by fast and the whole place smelled so good. All the workers are so friendly and helpful with any of my questions. I'm obsessed with the bowls, so good, many options, and delicious every time. My experience is especially pleasant when I see Bobby and Naomi, very sweet girls.

    Cava build your own Greens + Grains Bowl

    This is my fourth time coming back and it never disappoints. The food is clean and delicious and the environment calm. Bobby and Naomi have great character and added some really good energy into my day. Great customer service.

    Grain bowl with lamb meatballs and a Grains and greens bowl with Chicken Shawarma

    What has happened to CAVA? -- the flavors are great and the ingredients are usually fresh -- but the portions have dropped substantially lately. What used to be a generous, satisfying bowl now looks half-filled, and for the price it just doesn't feel worth it anymore. On top of that, my last order had multiple issues: one bowl was missing broccoli, they forgot to include the pita (so I had to ask for it), and the lamb meatballs were hard, dry, and so overcooked they might as well have been hockey pucks. The food here used to feel reliable, but between the shrinking portions and the careless preparation, the experience has really gone downhill. I hope they turn it around, because right now it's just disappointing.

    This review is based on cava via Uber eats/DoorDash etc... Im disgusted that they take zero precautions when ordering through a food delivery service. The bag was not sealed, the contents of the bag (one bowl and one small bag with pita bread) was not even closed and had no stickers, no seals, nothing My food could have so easily been tampered with and I would've had absolutely no idea. I'm not saying my driver did anything, my food looked fine but unfortunately I will not be eating it. I have seen and heard horror stories about what some drivers do to the food they're delivering which I'm pretty sure is why most other restaurants have taken precaution and started sealing (at least) the BAG closed. I've NEVER ordered from any food delivery service and not had some kind of seal either on the item or the bag. Most places seal all of the items and also the bag. I found it so strange and unsanitary when I opened my front door and saw an open bag with my bowl and another small open bag inside of it with my bread. I'm actually very shocked that Cava takes zero precautions with food delivery services and think this should be addressed.

    What does the outside patio look like? Would someone post photos please? I'm looking to meet up with visiting family, half way btw LA and Murietta, and this place seems ideal. Thanks!

    It is nothing fancy, it’s similar to if you sit outside of a Yogurtland or Rubio’s. It is not a restaurant style setup with service. It is just a regular sitting area.

    Catering available? Delivery available?

    There's Uber Eats and Door Dash. No catering

I love it because I feel like this type of food can be easy to mess up, but Zait and Zaatar gets it just right. I look forward to coming back. Also the man in the hat who took our order, perhaps the owner, was so welcoming and friendly to us.

I placed an online order for the baked fish plate around 12:45 PM and expected a bit of a wait since it was fish. After waiting about 25 minutes, I called and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was busy, so I understood. However, after waiting longer and checking inside twice, my order still wasn't ready and there seemed to be confusion about its status. In total, I waited close to an hour for an order that was placed online in advance. What bothered me most was seeing customers who ordered in person receive their food before me. It felt like my online order had been overlooked. If online ordering is offered, those orders should be monitored and fulfilled properly, especially during busy times. The food itself was good, but the plate could have been put together better. The fries were placed directly on top of the fish, which made them soggy and took away from the presentation. It would make much more sense to serve the fries on the side. Overall, the food is still good, but the long wait, confusion with the online order, and lack of attention to presentation make me hesitant to rely on the online ordering system again.

The smokiness, the walnuts, it was perfect dipping with the (very hot) pita. Dare I say this was my favorite of the three? For proteins, we had the 3 kebab combo (chicken, filet mignon, and kefta) - again, all grilled to perfection, succulent, juicy, and so flavorful. Slather garlic sauce over everything! Our other protein was the mansaf. The lamb was fall of the bone and tender. The almonds give a nice crunch to each bite and the yogurt sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Ask for the green drink, perfect for cooling down in a warm day. Servers are super attentive and always checking in. Come hungry!

Here's what we ordered: Sampler - Housemade hummus was spectacular, the baba ghanouj was so savory and a bit smokey, and the falafel was warm, wonderfully spiced and not dry at all. I also HAD to try the kibbeh, never had before - amazing, so delicate, light, not overfried or oily at all. The spices inside were so wonderful, especially when pairing with some of the dips. Mixed grill : The meat was exceptionally good, tender, perfectly grilled, and juicy. The rice was fluffy, buttery, and fragrant. Mixed seafood grill: Delectable. The fish was beautiful grilled and lightly spiced to allow the delicate fish to shine through. I am no expert at this type of cuisine, but I've eaten plenty of Middle Eastern and Armenian food, and you really can't go wrong with rice and grilled meats - it's in our blood!
