    Location

    The food tasted good. But the entire restaurant was an entire mess when I visited on August 1, 2026. There were no napkins, no straws, no ice, filthy tables, empty drinks & large amounts of trash. The employees were coming out with ice in their cups to fill with a drink, but ignored to fill the ice bin. Plus ignored any other issues in the lobby.

    Dried out brown rice

    I do not think this location can be saved... third time giving this location a try. On the way home from a road trip and stopped by 45 minutes before closing. Staff was all cleaning and talking. My partner went in first since we had our dog in the car and it took awhile to even get the order started..... ordered half salad and half brown rice (arrived home and found that it was dried and hard....), crazy feta scoop, lamb was over cooked to mush and dry, quite a few of the toppings were out, skug, and garlic sauce. They REALLY skimp out on the rice and lettuce. I ordered half salad and half saffron rice (VERY small portion as well), tzatziki scoop, 1 scoop each or chicken and steak, again quite a few of the toppings were not available, no garlic sauce available and opted for yogurt dill and skhug. Hard pass on this location from now on.....

    Chicken + Rice Bowl, Cucumber Mint Limeade, & Side Crazy Feta® with Pita

    Stopped here for Sunday lunch with my sister before doing some shopping at the Castle Rock Outlets. It was fairly busy on a Sunday afternoon but the line moved quickly. I had the Chicken & Rice bowl which was delicious. The portion was a great size and all of the ingredients were fresh and full of flavor. I opted to try the side of Crazy Feta Dip with a pita and it was so yummy but had a surprising kick of heat at the end. The Cucumber Limeade drink was amazing! This is a great spot for fresh Mediterranean theme food. I hope to be back soon!

    Old black & brown avocado in my rice bowl....Thanks 4 the low quality ingredients!!!

    I was genuinely excited to finally try this place, especially after seeing several locations pop up around Colorado. I ordered the lamb meatball rice bowl with power greens from the Castle Rock location. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Most of the rice in the bowl was undercooked and crunchy, making it unpleasant to eat. The avocado had a strange texture -- overly soft and almost smooth -- and the flavor was off. After digging through the bowl, I found the rest of the avocado buried beneath the onions, and it was clear that it was past its prime and starting to rot. I ended up throwing the rest of the bowl away, as I didn't feel comfortable continuing to eat it. I tried calling the Castle Rock store immediately to let them know about the quality of the ingredients -- especially the avocado -- but no one answered the phone. Later that evening, I began experiencing significant stomach pain, which continued into the night and the following morning. I've spent most of the time since in the bathroom, which raises serious concerns about the freshness and safety of the food I was served. What's been even more frustrating is the lack of response. I've attempted to reach out multiple times and still haven't heard back from anyone at the store. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. I wanted to give this place a fair shot, but based on this experience, I'm not sure I can recommend it to others until the quality and communication improve.

    For what it is, I think it's a little overpriced. Also, the staff were very disorganized and confused everyone in line by mixing up their bowls. Hate to say it, but Chipotle is better!

    Steak bowl
    Josh M.

    This cava located across from the outlet mall in castle rock was a nice place to grab a healthy bite to eat. I ordered the steak bowl and it was quite massive since I decided to add lots of toppings and extras to the bowl. No complaints on the taste, but comparing the price to chipotle or other competitors, I think I'd rather spend $10 for a chipotle bowl than $18 for a cava bowl which are both pretty good.

    Chef Ken & Mykah were amazing! The food was delicious and affordable for the amount you get. You can choose from steak, lamb, and chicken. You can choose between a wrap or a bowl. I got the build your own bowl I added greens, rice, and lentils. My protein choices included half lamb and half spicy chicken. You also get to choose other toppings including corn, feta, cucumbers, and so much more. They also have a vegan option which would be falafel. Overall amazing food and service, highly recommend them.

We stopped in for brunch and everything we ordered was really good, but the Breakfast Hangover Burger completely stole the show for me. A burger topped with smoked ham, an over easy egg, avocado, American cheese, jalapeños, fried onion straws, and sriracha aioli sounds like someone lost a bet and just kept adding ingredients. Somehow it all works perfectly. We also ordered the Monte Cristo, which was crispy, cheesy, and exactly what I want when I order a Monte Cristo. Another highlight weee the donuts. Fresh, hot, and perfect for sharing. The service was great, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip.

As I have the past several times here, I went with the egg and carnitas tacos. I added a side of fresh fruit...both the eggs and fruit were very good. As the Benedict my wife loved is no longer on the menu, she had the avocado toast with eggs. She added a large size of the breakfast potatoes and was glad she did. While she liked the taste of the avocado toast, she was very disappointed in the small size of the portion. She wish she had more. One daughter had the Mardi Gras omelette for the first time. While she liked the flavor, the fact that the ham was a full slice (lunchmeat style), as opposed to chunks or cubes, was weird...and required cutting with a knife. The other daughter tried the quiche for the first time and loved it. It is one of the better quiches around. Coffee is very good as well. Service was fine for the most part.

My wife and I each started with a glass of wine, and then even though we hadn't planned to get an appetizer, we decided to order a side of bread with oil. The bread was amazing! It was a large order, and both the consistency and flavor were fantastic. There were a few different dishes I was considering, including the halibut, but since this was our first visit, I decided to go with the chicken Marsala, which many on here have raved about. First, it was a big portion with two large chicken breasts. On a future visit, my wife and I could split an appetizer or salad and then one order of the chicken. Next, flavor of everything was wonderful. Unlike a typical Marsala, which can be very heavy and overpowering, this sauce was lighter...in color, consistency, and taste. It was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Asparagus and potatoes were delicious too. My wife got the ravioli with pesto, and she really enjoyed her dish as well. Service was warm, pleasant, there when we needed it, but not overpowering, exactly what you'd hope for and expect from a restaurant of this stature. Very happy we finally got here. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

What a unique restaurant... inside a restored 1888 stone church. They kept the original stained glass windows, the choir loft & the confessional booth making this one of the most interesting restaurants. The dining area was cozy - not many tables & chairs. Our table was too small for four adults with bread, apps & dinner plates. However, our server was great, very attentive. Always near to clear plates, friendly & fast service. We started with bread & Italian salsa. The bread was good but the salsa was even better. It was fantastic & full of flavor. Next, for apps we had the Meatballs & Fried Calamari. The meatballs needed more seasoning & the sauce was bland. The calamari was rubbery & chewy. The Lemon Aioli that came with it was tasty. Our entrees were the Chicken Parm & the Crab Stuffed Shrimp with Linguine & Sauce. The portion sizes were big. The chicken was prepared nicely & was tender. The sauce unfortunately was bland. Same with the shrimp dish, it needed more seasoning, I didn't taste the crab & the lemon butter sauce had too much garlic for me. Perhaps our meal was a one off. Their menu is extensive & I will give them another try...the Lobster Ravioli sounds good. Note, on the other side of the restaurant is a pizzeria, called Slice Works, with a dining room & outdoor patio. I will try this as well.
