    Falafel Crunch App Picture
    Giselle W.

    This bowl is just disrespectful and I'm utterly just lost for words. I should have just ate the lunch that I brought from home but I was craving CAVA. This bowl looks like it's for a rabbit. I will never come back to this location EVER again. So disappointing and a total waste of money. I should dispute this crap for looking NOTHING like as described.

    Fast, casual build your bowl type of chain. Cava (formerly Zoe's Kitchen) is the same focus of Mediterranean food however the format is different. Personally I miss Zoe's. There was a feel of a restaurant and you could sit to enjoy your meal. The line at Cava was slow. The grains, greens, protein, dips, toppings and dressings are simple. There's nothing spectacular with the exception of eating something healthy. I wouldn't say fast because it took about 30 minutes with the line, prep and checking out. They were out of the balsamic date vinaigrette dressing too. I may get a bowl if I'm in the area but definitely have had better.

    I frequent here pretty often. I will say I feel like the food and service go down at night vs during lunch time. The last few weeks I have been going anytime between 8-9 pm and each time I've gone they've run out of sauces (and wont make anymore) and the lemonade machines are broken down already. Mind you they don't close until 10. If you do want to get a lemonade they pour it out of these containers that they have sitting by the door. These is extremely unsanitary. Customer service is the only thing that is consistent at this location

    This was my second time ever at a Cava, and although I enjoy the food, this location ain't it. Parking: There is a good number of free parking spots; however, during "rush hours" I can see those spots filling up quickly. There were a number of people picking up orders inside though, so may not have to wait too long for a spot. Food: The food is good! It's kind of like a Chipotle-style Mediterranean based restaurant. They have some preset bowls/pitas you can choose from, or you can build your own. I got a Harissa Avocado Bowl, but customized it to my liking. They also have desserts like cookies and brownies. Drinks: They have various lemonades and teas. I made a mixture with 1/2 Blueberry Lavender and 1/2 Classic Lemonade. They also have a soda fountain and various bottled/boxed juices and sodas. Vibe: There is plenty of seating available, both indoor and outdoor, so that's nice. Customer service is where it all went downhill. The individual taking my order was rude and abrupt. Even after informing her it was only my second time at a Cava and I was still figuring out how it worked, she just basically looked at me and was like, "So what do you want??". And at checkout, I was debating whether or not to get a bag, she very rudely said, "Do you want the bag or not?". I understand everyone has their off days, but it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident at this location. So yes, I recommend checking out Cava, just not this location. Hopefully they'll work on their customer service because that can make or break an experience.

    I'm actually really surprised this spot is only 2.5 stars ‍. This is probably my family and my favorite little healthy spot. I come here after training in Jiu Jitsu when I want a healthy post workout meal. I usually make my own bowl and love it every time. It's a Mediterranean take on MOES or CHIPOTLE. It had several tasty greens options, rice, a good variety of protein options and fixings. We have been here over 20 times and dined in maybe 2-3 times. You can dine in but it feels more like a grab and go vibe. I have noticed if you come later in the evening they run out of food and sauce options. It's a conveyer belt of patrons so the staff doesn't seem the friendliest. Stern looks and ZERO smiles, but the food is good. Expect to get your tasty food and leave...

    This cava is very inconsistent. I've had a great bowl from them, but sometimes the portions are soo tiny! Last time I barely got any chicken in mine!

Unfortunately, there aren't enough fast food joints with a focus on fresh salads but lucky for me, Doc Green's was right on my pathway for the day. Located in a huge plaza in Smyrna, Doc Green's is a salad lovers dream. I can't believe this was my first visit! The restaurant itself is narrow but long, offering plenty of seating in the back of the place, as well as the entryway. Doc Green's is actually paired with another restaurant it seems, but I was focused on the salad. They have some recommended combos but you can also create your own with a wide array of toppings. I was in heaven looking at all of the fresh veggies, proteins and dressings available. I decided to create my own and just went wild. I was super bummed because I ended up forgetting some favorites (like avocado) because I didn't see/notice them on the cold bar. I chose my dressings, had it mixed up and then checked out. I opted for a fountain drink and unfortunately, the lemonade was toooooo sweet. But that was the only downside because my salad was wonderful!! Everything was fresh, the portions were generous and I felt like I got my money's worth. I'm always in the Akers Mill plaza buying things I don't need so I can't wait to grab another salad at Doc Green's when I'm in the neighborhood!

Everything tasted fresh and made to order, which always hits different. You can tell care went into every plate. The vibe? Perfect for any moment ; casual lunch, date night, family outing, or just treating yourself after a long day. Definitely a hidden gem, and I'll absolutely be back ASAP.

I had the Cobb salad (no bacon) with green goddess dressing, which was fresh and really flavorful, plus the smoked chicken was a nice touch. My wife ordered the haddock with a Caesar salad and it was fried perfectly with a generous portion. I had to taste a piece of fish and it was really good! We also took the bread pudding to go huge slice, homemade taste, and a great way to end the meal. If we're on this side of town again, we'd definitely come back. Our waitress did a good job very helpful snd friendly!

I have hesitated for months to write this review because there is always a line and I didn't want to encourage anyone to get in front of me but...to be fair, they deserve a great review. First, the chicken is amazing, the salsas and tortillas are amazing and they have Dos Equis Amber on draft. What's not to like. They have open comfortable seating inside and a huge outdoor garden as well. I have ordered a lot of their smoked, wood fired rotisserie chicken. I've also ordered several different tacos. My recommendation is always order more than you can eat. The leftovers are great. I throw some chicken, cheddar and their ranchero sauce on a tortilla and eat every bit of their leftover chicken. You order at a counter but that's fine. You get your food faster. They have a great system and the staff are great. Again, what's not to like?

It paired greatly with the various sauces at the Salsa Bar (self serve). Get half Flour, half Corn Tortillas...both excellent. The atmosphere is typical Buckhead - colorful, loud, open. There's outside seating if you desire. Get the Softserve Ice Cream if you have room.

Apparently, Alma opened this second location more than a year ago...it's not easy to see this resto from Atlanta Rd., but easy to find once you turn into this (Belmont) small corner of shops and restaurants. This review is based on my late weekday lunch. +. Ambiance is bright, clean and casual. ME feels spacious as there is plenty of natural light from its corner location full of windows. There is a patio as well, but it's a hot and humid August summer day in Atlanta. It would be a pleasant option come Fall or Spring. This part of Atlanta Rd near downtown Smyrna seems to be becoming trendier with more restaurants and Still Fire brewery. +++. Food is Moroccan casual. It's a limited menu but executed very well! I tried their Shawarma Chicken plate that came with saffron rice, hummus and pita. Their chicken shawarma was exquisitely seasoned and balanced. It's spicy but not hot and differs from the middle-eastern shawarmas. Their "warm" pita is fluffy soft and perfect to pick up chicken and hummus. My order also came with a small salad. Alma's harissa is the "BEST" I've had. It's got a little kick and pretty amazing. I'll definitely be returning to explore the menu +++ Price is reasonable especially given their quality! Approximately $10-20pp. ++ Service was prompt, friendly and super nice! I'm not a fan of Moroccan cuisine from visiting the country a while ago, but ME's food is deLicious! Sensing my hesitancy, they even offered me a sample of the shawarma before I ordered! ++ Parking is a shared lot, ample and free. Over all, an IMPRESSIVE little restaurant! Marrakesh Express adds much to the Cobb restaurant scene. Apparently, they were originally at Global Grub Collective. After GGC closed, they opened a place near GT and about a year and half ago, ME opened their second location in Smyrna! WeLcoMe!!
