" A great place for fusion salads and make your own plate " What a great place for salads. Or for the picky eater or the explorer that likes to make your own . Fresh , delicious and at a reasonable price . Staff is excellent, friendly. Vibe is welcoming. Parking is difficult but manageable.

Salad bowl, pita crisps, chicken, yogurt dill, cucumbers, tomato and cucumbers, tzatziki
Suki Z.

Cozy establishment, similar to many diy bowl locations. What I like is that the menu allows you get order half portions so you can try two different bases and two different proteins. For my base, I chose arugula and romaine lettuce but instead of choosing two salads, I could have chosen a grain option if I wanted. The chicken was flavorful for sure! I was expecting plain boiled chicken but thankfully it's not plain grilled chicken either. The service was really quick because of the assembly line style. I wanted the person behind the counter change the dips/spreads when they were running low and noticed that they looked over the dip/spread before switching them out to make sure they were fresh. Nice place to grab a really fulfilling bowl with a cozy atmosphere! Didn't grab any drinks but there were an assortment of refreshing sounding drinks.

I love cava! I tried it for the first time this week, and had it two more times this week because I loved it so much. As a vegetarian it has an amazing selection and the falafel is so good. The kids meal is the perfect portion size for me. I wish that there were more locations near me! I love that it is located on Boylston street and there is so much to do nearby. The service was very good as well, and it was a nice quiet, clean environment.

I was a little bit underwhelmed by my visit to CAVA at the Fenway location. I absolutely love CAVA, but this location completely skimped me on the portion size and didn't provide the quality ingredients that I am used to during my visit here. I walked in during dinner time, it was about half full but no line. Right off the bat, they were out of saffron rice, which wasn't a problem-- I waited about 7 minutes for them to whip up a new batch. However, the girl at the counter seemed a bit annoyed while taking my order. I have the utmost respect for the food service industry, and I know people can have bad days, but there was no line/rush and I was demonstrating patience and kindness while placing my order and it is absolutely an expectation in my eyes to receive that from the other end. In addition, a few things went wrong with my order. When I came to the dips selection-- I am entitled to 3 dips. This is the menu policy. I had ordered 2, but every other location has always asked me if I want an extra scoop of my selection to bump it to 3. The girl did not ask me. Then, I ordered avocado, which was not ripe enough and was ICE COLD. Bleh. To top it off, no free side of pita. Also menu policy. I expected more from this location. I've had great experiences with all food in Fenway. I hope I can one day say the same about my experience here.

Sweet n spicy chicken rice bowl
Vicki M.

Cava is always such a convenient fast fresh and tasty option! I always get the rice bowl with either the spicy chicken or regular grilled chicken along with most of the veggie toppings, tzatziki, eggplant and hummus and the green sauce. I usually also have leftovers so the one bowl gets me a lunch next day which is great! Service is usually quick and friendly and sometimes we sit in the restaurant and eat and sometimes just get take out. Overall great experience!

This was my first time at CAVA and I became a believer. I love the salads and all the choices. I had it again in North Carolina. I hope they open them in Northern California soon!

Custom bowl ($12)
Rachel S.

I happened to be in the area with my sister who loves Cava, so at her suggestion, we decided to grab a quick dinner here on a weekday. The place was not too crowded with plenty of available seats inside and outside. I liked the plant-forward and relatively simple menu and appreciated that vegan options are clearly labeled. I customized a bowl ($12). In addition to many protein options, you can add 3 scoops worth of hummus (several varieties available) and customize the veggies. My favorite part of the bowl were the hummus and lentils. The portion size was larger than expected, and I ended up with some leftovers for a small meal the next day. The falafel was tasty but each one is only about 2 bites in size, so it might not be enough substance if it is your choice of protein. Most of the veggies were great and I would get almost all of them again--except the olives which were too salty for my taste. Overall, I enjoyed the healthy meal and would definitely consider visiting again!

Raw Steak

This was not a great experience. I went around 8pm and they were out of feta and the garlic sauce (which is reasonable it is late). I ordered a steak bowl and when I got home to eat it the steak was raw!! I am a disappointed the little bites of steak looked cooked well from the outside and I opened broke apart some pieces and they were still rare. I couldn't even eat the rest of the bowl I was so disgusted. It was also VERY overpriced I wasn't expecting this to cost about $25 for this bowl that was skimped on.

Make your own bowl
Marni M.

My friend and I wanted to eat something that we wouldn't feel guilty about afterwards. Since she lives close by, we didn't have to worry about parking especially in this area. It's build your own style so I opted for a bowl of brown rice, mixed greens, harissa paste, traditional hummus and tzatziki sauce. Toppings included the black lentils, pickled onions, goat cheese, and garlic sauce. The person behind the desk patiently filled my bowl to my preference. It was delicious and hit the mail on the head. I loved the burst of fresh and zesty flavors. It was satiating and healthy, what more could you ask for. Overall, I had a great experience. It was very low key requiring no special attire as it was easy to eat in or out. Cannot for wait another visit here!

Lamb meatball Pita wrap
T W.

I don't have anything good to say about this place....things are usually out of stock and the Lamb Meatball Wrap I ordered was cold like EXTREMELY COLD and runny. I will never order from this place again. You guys are great at making bowls. But wraps...No this should have been made/presented better

Saloniki Greek - Cinnamon honey donuts

I LOVE THE GREEK DONUTS AT SALONIKI GREEK! Omg! I'm…read moreabsolutely obsessed w/ their donuts, specifically the cinnamon + honey one. Saloniki Greek is a local chain in the Boston Area that was founded in 2016, w/ this being their first location! Now they have expanded w/ 5 locations total-- Fenway, Newbury St/Back Bay, Downtown, Cambridge (MIT), & Cambridge (Harvard Sq). The first time I had it was at their Newbury St location, & it was my first time the other day trying it from here... safe to say they definitely NAILED IT! I actually think this time around, Fenway made the donuts better hahaha. It was pretty chill the day we visited so ordering was a breeze & took ~5ish minutes for our donuts to be ready. They come piping hot & are the perfect dessert for after ANY meal. I've had their gyros before but always find myself coming back for their Greek donuts, highly recommend! ***Also, if you have a Student ID, you can get a free order of Greek fries if you order either a salad, sandwich, or plate. ***

Right down the block from Tasty. How did I not realize they had a SG here…read more The lady brought me for some desert in Greek fried doughnut balls! We got honey cinnamon flavor, they also had Dubai choco, pumpkin spice pie, greek sour cherry, and caramel pistachio and plain! The doughnuts were nice and chew like mochi! Enjoyed it with the honey and cinnamon! They have a full menu for lunch / dinner dishes too. Gyros, plates, fries. kebab plates, frozen yogurts so many items! Going to come back and try others. Have only ordered the doughnuts from their locations! Just so happened to be snack time!

Such a yummy greek experience!!! You can't go wrong here but be sure to get a reservation in…read moreadvance! The restaurant is cute but feels a bit small. The food is so delicious!! We ordered the meatballs, the souvla of the day and the salad. Everything was so tasty. You can't go wrong with anything here. The table next to us had the huge sampler which was about $240 but was one of every dish on the menu. This is a perfect choice for six to 8 people. Service was super friendly. They left a large bottle of water on the table, which I love. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Go here! You won't regret it.

I would've given Krasi five stars for the bread rolls alone. Almost everyone in my dinner party…read morenominated this as their favorite. The menu refers to these as "Greek cheese bread" but somehow that doesn't do it justice - these were immensely pillowy and cheesy, with an amazing crust, with homemade honey butter on the side. I could have had just these for dinner and been satisfied. They really nailed the bread. My other favorites: 1. Hipiti: spicy whipped feta with crispy potatoes on the side. I don't do well with spice but I absolutely loved this. 2. Marouli: winter lettuce with the most amazing vinaigrette dressing. My only knock to this is, presentation-wise, they serve it with half of the plate empty and the other half with salad. I don't understand why restaurants do this because - one, it only highlights the smaller portion and two, we're just going to mix the salad all around in the bowl anyway. 3. Boudeto: daily catch in a beautiful tomato broth. For a seafood dish at a restaurant in Back Bay, this was priced at a fairly reasonable $28. The only dish that fell a little flat for me was the tzatziki - needed a bit more seasoning. As it was, I was eating mostly just plain yogurt. The table-side preparation was cool, though. The space is its own visual dinner, there's simply a lot to look at (including a drawing of Poseidon riding a surf board). We got the big table in the back, which was a beautiful glass structure with a whole terrarium underneath. We couldn't stop marveling at it throughout the meal. Our waiter was wonderful - very helpful recommendations, came by to check on us often even though we were pretty far in the back, super patient with our questions. Hard to get reservations but worth it! Don't bother driving / trying to find parking unless you're willing to eat a hefty garage fee, it's Back Bay.
