    Garlicky Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Kai D.

    First time at this Cava. And I can tell you, the staff was cool to me. My friend had never had Cava so I wanted him to have the whole experience. The staff was patient w. Him when he asked questions and was helpful. When another person came in line, another staff member came to assist. The other customer was patient too since it was my friend first time. 5/5 for service. At the end, He ended up liking Cava and will definitely return back! I ordered the garlicky chicken shawarma and it was so good. I ordered extra sauce but it was my fault for not asking for more rice in the beginning. Knowing I love sauces. The new cinnamon pita chips were good as well. 5/5 for food quality. We ate outside and I wished someone would have came out to wipe tables. The tables were not like filthy. Crumbs and remnants of previous customers food. Also take out the overflowing trash can. 2/5 I hope everyone had a good experience as me as far as with service and don't forget to scan the QR code on the register for a survey.

    Pita Chips and Hummus - Rating 5/5
    Saleem F.

    Best pita chips & hummus combo that I've had up here so far in Atlanta. I also quite enjoyed the lamb meatball pita and Chicken and Right Rice. For the record in regards to that Chicken and Right Rice bowl, I customized it with: brown rice super greens, crazy feta, red pepper hummus (regular hummus is good too), half grill chicken, half felafel, tomato+onions (tomato+cucumber is a good substitute), pickled onions, Persian cucumbers, kalamata olives, yogurt dill, tzatziki, greek vinaigrette. I'd also recommend the garlic dressing and tahini caesar as great choices for dressings.

    A good fast-casual spot for a healthy, flavorful & customizable meal. I came with my Sister, who loves Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita. For the Vegans slim options of Falafel, Roasted vegetables & Roasted white sweet potatoes. From the crisp greens & grains to the perfectly seasoned proteins (per my Sister), everything is high quality & full of flavor. The toppings and mix-ins, like roasted vegetables, crunchy chickpeas & tangy olives, really elevate the meal, making each bite interesting & tasty. The portion sizes are generous without feeling overly heavy, making it a great option for lunch or dinner. The ability to customize each bowl means there's something for everyone, whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, or just looking to mix things up. I do appreciate the ability to make your meal exactly how I want it--each visit feels like a new, fresh experience. The service is always fast & friendly. The atmosphere is casual & clean, with a modern vibe. A good place for healthy food, whether you're in the mood for a big, hearty bowl or just need a quick, fresh bite.

    I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but it's important for customers to know what to expect, especially when dining out has become such an expensive experience. CAVA is often hyped as delicious and worth trying, but one consistent issue I've encountered at several CAVA locations in Atlanta, particularly the Perimeter location, is the poor customer service. When you walk into a restaurant, a warm greeting goes a long way--especially since staff don't know if it's your first time visiting. Unfortunately, the workers at this location often seem to have a negative attitude. Asking a simple question feels like an inconvenience to them, as if you should already know the menu. Good customer service is about more than just serving food. It's about being knowledgeable, courteous, and providing an overall pleasant experience. At this location, the staff consistently appear unhappy, and if you ask them to create a bowl, they give very small portions. If you request more, their reactions are visibly negative. Dining out should be a positive experience, with good food and great service. When customer service is lacking, it makes customers hesitant to return. As good as CAVA's food may be, something needs to change in their customer service training--especially at this location. Just showing up is not enough; customers want to feel like they're valued. If this doesn't improve, CAVA will likely lose me as a customer and future ones.

    The food was good . The service was HORRIBLE. I ordered my food online at 12. Pick up email for 12:15. Got my food at 12:45. I was told the pick up time does not matter. The manager began asking for names instead of times and making orders out of order. When I explained ppl were here at different times she cut me off and rolled her eyes. The ambiance was chaotic. When I arrived there were 16 people in line. They ALL got their orders before any of the 12 people waiting for online orders. I ordered one bowl and a drink. I don't think I'll come back here.

    As someone who picks up from this location once or twice a month, I'm pretty surprised at the rating. I usually order on the app, and have never had an issue with my order. The few times I've ordered at the counter have gone well too. Quick service, they get it right, store inside is clean. And of course the flavor of the food is top notch in fast food/fast casual. Lots of variety to customize your bowl, and a lot of flavors you don't find at other similar restaurants. I'm definitely a fan of CAVA, and have no reason to stop coming to this particular location in Perimeter.

    I love this Cava location & it's staff! First, Cliff & his staff are amazing! They are always so nice and courteous while paying attention to details when it comes to my order, every single time! I visit the location often and Cliff and his staff are always so attentive to all my request for my bowls. They are always made to perfection! Second - this location is always so clean. The stations are always prepped so nicely and full! I never see any messes & the staff is quick to restock / make sure that all the napkins, utensils and drinks are filled! Doesn't matter what time of the day it is! Cleanliness is a big deal for me and this location hits it on the mark! Lastly, Cliff & his staff are FAST. There's usually a lunch rush sometimes, but other than that, they usually usually take care of the lines quickly without mistakes to orders. 10/10, thanks for all you do Cliff! Please keep it up. A raise is needed for this man!

I have the rewards program, but if you're doing delivery and don't order here often its cheaper to go thru Uber Eats based on fees, at least in my experience. There's been a couple occasions where a few items are missing from the "create your own bowls" I've ordered but nothing major. Uber Eats has gotten sooo much better about refunding for little things like that, so it hasn't been an issue. They do charge by add-on if it's a premium item so you just need to pay attention if you didn't order it in person. I do understand they could be busy and just miss an item or two or ran out of certain ingredients also. I feel like the quality and consistency is better here than Chipotle or Gusto (at least the one I tried). I haven't tried all the other salad/bowl places nearby yet, but I do enjoy the freshness of the ingredients and options here. Their green goddess ranch is good (I haven't liked it at other places). I like their mushroom mix as well, probably even more than their steak. Their rosemary focaccia is a nice compliment to the bowls as well. I haven't had any bad items here so far. The portions are generous, which is not always the case with every salad place. I look forward to trying more things.

The "regular" size is HUGE and was more like 2 servings. I added the baked salmon to my mixed greens bowl, and it was very filling for my lunch over 2 days. That makes the price of the bowl totally worth it. All of it delicious! They had a pan of fresh-baked cookies out, and I had to get one. I thought they'd be crispy but ended up being on the soft side. They are huge though. Still tasty! I'll be back, often.

This came with ham, turkey, salami, provolone, mayo, house greens, tomato, onion, banana pepper, oregano, and red wine vinaigrette on multigrain-sliced bread. She also wanted the strawberry ginger lemonade. She said the sandwich was a really good size (meaning that she could only eat half) and shared it with our daughter. They both said it was delicious and both rated it 9 out of 10 for the same reason. They would have liked the sandwich on a hoagie roll instead of the bread. They said nothing was wrong with the bread, except that they both felt the sandwich would have been better on a hoagie roll if that had been an option. I was here for a Yelp event. I ordered one of the Made For You bowls, the Hot Honey Chicken bowl + Hummus. It came with brown rice, house greens tossed in red wine vinaigrette, cucumber, tomato, banana pepper, red pepper hummus, hot honey sauce, Greek yogurt sauce, and house-baked tortilla chips sprinkled with Parmesan. I had the chips on the side because I wanted my bowl gluten-free. The bowl was delicious. I would definitely get it again. I also had the strawberry ginger lemonade, which is freshly made as needed, since I saw Victoria juicing ginger for another batch of lemonade while I was eating. All of the other Make It Original options sounded delicious, too. I plan on returning to try more of their bowls. Overall, this was a great experience, and we definitely recommend the original Chop Shop.

Ordered the Caesar wrap on a protein wrap, nothing else. I also asked for black olives, which apparently are a dollar upcharge? I found that odd... also more odd that the worker didn't use the portion spoon to scoop the olives but rather her gloved hands and pinched a small amount with the rest of the (rather skimpily portioned) ingredients. Also, when it came time to actually wrap it, she ripped a third of the tortilla. This was before she started moving the ingredients to the wrap... but instead of grabbing a new one, she fought that tortilla until it was pieced together snugly in the paper. She then proceeded to cut it in half with a plastic salad knife, which was also odd -- does this place not have kitchen knives? Not hating on her, she was nice and she took her time with the wrap (urgency doesn't seem to be an issue at this place). And the wrap tasted good. But if I'm spending $19+ after tip on a single wrap with no side, no drink, and small portion sizes, I might as well walk my happy ass 400 feet to Publix for a decent wrap at half the cost. Decent food, weird experience, overpriced every time.

I have a friend who is Lebanese and I know what it feels like to have homemade hummus, so I'm really skeptical on that because I know what hummus should taste like LOL. But this was good. Actually I threw some hummus on the fries and it was all good. If you want quick food that actually tastes good, this is a good option. They're not a whole lot of Mediterranean restaurants in the Atlanta area that are stellar, and that is still true, but this one's pretty decent. If you want to stop off and try something that is good.
