I've eaten here a couple times and I think both times I had Harissa Avodado. Now if you're not a fan of spicy then do NOT order this. Nowhere in ther description does it say spicy but it's spicy. Description: Harissa honey chicken, Crazy Feta®, hummus, avocado, corn, cucumber, feta, pickled onions, basmati rice, Super Greens, harissa vinaigrette I like all the ingredients inside but when you eat the chicken it's so spicy. I wish the menu description would say it's spicy or has a big kick to it. I wanted to like it but ended up asking for some tzatziki sauce which still didn't ease the spicy enough for me. I'll have to try again with different protein and build my own bowl. They have different house made lemonades like cucumber, lavender, black current, orange and more. Several booths and tables inside as well as tables outside. read more

CAVA - 3/2026- Harissa Avocado - Mediterranean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I love giving 5-star reviews! It hurts my heart to give less than 5-stars but it really helps to separate the greats from the poor, okay and good places. I can confidently say after my first visit that Cava in Chandler is great! My wife and I stopped here on a whim looking for food in the area on our way home. She remembered I wanted to try Cava and she was down, so we popped in around 7:30 on the Thursday night. Wow...the place was packed! That's always a good sign. I hadn't done my homework on what they offer, but the employees were more than gracious to go over their selections and the ingredients and toppings they have. They recommended a custom bowl and that's what I ordered. You can also order wraps and pitas. I packed my bowl with so many things I'm going to leave quite a few out due to geezer brain, but I got white rice as my base and spicy lamb + grilled chicken as my main proteins. I added red pepper hummus and harissa in my bowl, then a ton of veggies like olives, avocado, onion, cucumber, pickles, etc. I added lentils and topped it with a spicy sauce. My wife got the sweet potato base with lettuce/greens base. We also got a side of pita chips. The drink fountain has Maine Root sodas! That may be disappointing if you're a Coke or Pepsi only person, but I haven't had Maine Root in years and was super excited to get the blueberry soda again. I also sampled their root beer and it's amazing. Cava has unique craft drinks as well like a tangerine aleppo (also sampled...really good) and an assortment of limeaid/lemonades and teas. The interior was spacious enough that we could navigate around the crowds and find an open table. The tables and interior were clean, especially for the end of the day where many restaurants can be a work in progress on the cleanliness side. We had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more entrees and drinks! Thanks Cava Chandler! read more

Drink - Pineapple apple mint drink - Love their food. Full of flavor. Their pineapple apple mint drink was tasty. I couldn't compare it to anything else at the time, but I could taste the basil. It is described online as following: pineapple apple mint - 160 Cal, this super refreshing juice is made in-house with pineapple, apple cider, fresh mint, and lime juice. The lime is why I thought it was a lemonade. I could still call it a limeade. It was thirst quenching and refreshing. Atmosphere - Quite a few people there at lunch time. No strange or strong odors or smells. No music playing when I visited. I liked that. I prefer no music over loud music. I don't like loud music. It's hard to hear with loud music. I did not visit the restroom. Service - There were about three or four employees. The service here has been quick. Order and pay at the counter. Self seating. Quick service for take out orders. Some places take a long time for take out orders. I went to a breakfast place and while their app showed the progress it took forever to get to the completion stage even during a non-busy hour. I was surprised since it was for pancakes, eggs and turkey bacon. Cava was great, especially since I was in a hurry but was really thirsty. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures. Wish there was covered parking. Nothing unique add at this time. Did not see a health rating on Yelp. Seemed clean and organized when I visited. read more

Well for my sixth time here I need to lower my stars to three. There is still a nice variety of choices of proteins, sides, toppings and dressings but their toppings aren't as tasty as I recall. No "wow" factor this time. Our servings were visually smaller as well. This is disappointing after I have recommended this location serveral times to my friends. Perhaps this was an off day. I will visit them in the future 2and update you then. read more

Absolutely delicious, I'm shocked I've never tried cava until now. The food is amazing and I felt like the portion size was good for the price. It is a little spendy but it is so worth it for the quality. The interior at this location is nothing special. It's your typical quick dining experience. I thought the workers were kind and it was clean inside. They also have a ton of different drink options that most places do not so that was fun to try as well! read more

My first experience with CAVA was actually in Maryland. I am sooooo glad CAVA is finally here in Arizona and I finally made it!!!! Nothing has changed and the flavor was just the way I remember it! The portion size is great even for to-go. When I got home (20 minutes), the food still tasted great! The pita bread was crispy. All of the sauces were delicious. With so many options on the app, I was worried that the ordering process would be complex, but it was easy to follow through. I was only in the dining area for a brief moment and someone already saw me and told me I can grab my order at the pick up area. It was a smooth process. The aroma of the dining area...oh, it smelled so great! It's clean and tidy too! read more

This was ok, and took care of my hunger. I ordered the build your own pita. I immediately wished I had done the bowl with rice instead. I wasn't crazy about the texture of the pita. It was thick and puffy. The harissa chicken was good and fairly spicy. I loved all the toppings. It was packed with cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes etc... it was all tasted great in the bowl with rice! Service and atmosphere were ok. read more

CAVA - Build your own pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I ate your bowl, but I'm still hungry! Paid $22 still not enough.....to fill up Portion is very small adding a few more greens that's more "base" charge The amount a bowl and a drink I paid, I could go sit down and get served somewhere for a lunch. Food is fine, but not worth the tiny portion a small scoop they serve. Probably better bang for your bucks at chipotle This place is similar but charge more and deliver less than chipotle Not recommend if you want more food than a salad size read more

Cava has a great assortment of food to choose from. Staff is friendly most of the time & make the bowls fairly quickly. There are a few really nice younger staff members. This is the only location that is bad at stocking their sauces. Every time we come, they're always out of sauces and it's between 7-8pm... they close at 10pm, I don't think they should be running out of sauces that early. The staff is always cleaning up for preclose around 8pm and always feels like they just don't care to do anything they would have to clean up for? They close at 10 pm so it doesn't make sense. Once people come in at or after 8pm, you can just see the staffs annoyance of more people coming in... it's 2 hours prior to close, no reason for that. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while but haven't had a chance to until now. I thought it would be a restaurant but it's actually more of a casual fast food spot with a dining area inside and out on the patio. I hadn't looked it up so it was a surprise to find out they offered Mediterranean style food. Ordering was fast and easy. The portions were quite generous and the pita wraps were very large! We ordered greek chicken and crispy falafel pita wraps and a side order of spicy lamb meatballs. Everything was quite tasty so I'm sure we'll be back again! The spicy lamb meatballs were spiced with seasonings and not spicy (hot) for anyone that might be concerned. The prices weren't overly high and seemed fairly reasonable for what we received. We weren't wanting any sides so this was just about what we needed at the time so we actually didn't overeat as we probably would have under normal circumstances. I think we just walked in after a large group departed so the tables weren't wiped down yet. The rest of the tables were kind of a mess but we were able to find a clean one. Parking is easy and just outside the front entrance. There are several dining places in the area so it might get a little crowded depending on the day and time. They're conveniently located for us to get to easily. I'm sure we'll be back again for more now that we know what to expect. Go check them out as I'm sure you'll find something on their menu that will hit the spot. read more

This is crazy! Third time a charm? NOPE- what's interesting about this visit is that the lady infront of me was also gripping about the portions of the spoons. How is this place still in business. I took a picture of my $16 dollar bowl and no I didn't task for less food.. I actually asked for two scoops of rice and was given it. The picture is exactly what I ordered and it looks like more than what's it is in person read more

I was here on Friday there was an employees child running around screaming in the establishment the general manager and the employee wasn't quieting him down it was honestly a mess. Why are employees allowed to have their children running around while they are working it was unprofessional and unacceptable and I won't be back. The food was amazing tasted fresh and the chicken was juicy I loved it read more

First timer here after I have consistently heard people rave about this place. You can build your own bowl or pita, or choose from one of the prebuilt options on the menu. I chose to go with the harissa chicken avocado bowl and added extra chicken. The bowl is good and has a lot of stuff in it... greens, basmati rice, corn, avocado, pickled onions, cucumbers and some hummus. Some of the scoop sizes are kind of small, so certain flavors got lost in this bowl such as cucumber. Overall the flavor is really good and I would come back for this. Service was a bit slow for a "fast med. food" option but seems like they're still figuring things out. This is a great quick option packed with a lot of flavor and fairly healthy. read more

CAVA - Build your own - Mediterranean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

CAVA is a casual dining restaurant that offers healthy made-to-order food with a middle eastern theme. They offer bowls and pitas that can be made either with meat or vegetarian. The flavors are unique and they offer toppings and sauces that are usually difficult to find in this type of setting. I have had both pitas and bowls before, and found both to be very filling and reasonably priced. The falafel tends to work well in a pita and the greek chicken is a fantastic bowl. I even like the diet soda made by maine root since it doesn't have aspartame and tastes great. They have other beverages and teas that are equally healthy and tasty. This particular location was a little tight with indoor seating, but it works okay this time of year. The service was good and the portions were rather large. CAVA is a nice healthy option if you are looking for good flavors and creative options. read more

CAVA - Spicy Greens with Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

!!!NOT WORTH SUPPORTING!!! Look the food is ok, but the moment that the manager LIZBEYDY starts BULLYING and BELITTLING an employee in front of customers to where it honestly looked like hazing, that is the moment that I STOP going to this restaurant or at least not go to the location at 4010 S Arizona Ave. Chandler, AZ 85248. The assistant manager GLORIA did nothing to help and was scoffing at the employee along with the manager and they made the employee VERY UPSET. Their behavior was DISGUSTING and DESPICABLE and honestly they should be fired or at the absolute very least get A LOT more training!! All the other employees are very nice and I feel really sorry that they have to work with that kind of management if that's even what you would call that kind of bullying. read more

Fresh, Flavorful & Family-Approved! We recently visited CAVA and it was a total hit with the whole family! The food is incredibly fresh, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. My oldest son built a bowl with grilled chicken, saffron basmati rice, lettuce, fire-roasted corn, hummus, tzatziki, and feta -- he couldn't stop raving about the combo of creamy and savory! I had a similar bowl with grilled chicken, fire-roasted corn, Persian cucumber salad, veggies, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette with tzatziki -- light, refreshing, and perfectly satisfying! My younger son kept it simple with grilled chicken, saffron basmati rice, and pita chips -- and even he finished every last bite (which says a lot!). My husband went for the Falafel Crunch bowl, loaded with falafel, roasted veggies, Crazy Feta, hummus, pickled onions, pita crisps, lentils, greens, and skhug -- he said every bite had the perfect texture and kick of spice. For drinks, I had the Blueberry Lavender -- so delicious and unique! The kids went with classic root beer, and my husband mixed the blueberry lavender and blueberry soda for a fun twist (and loved it!). CAVA nails it every time -- fresh, flavorful, and full of vibrant ingredients. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

I got the spicy chicken and sweet potato bowl. There were three missing ingredients and the rice was hard. I kept crunching down on it. The staff wasn't friendly. The girl said "have a good day" while simultaneously shoving the food across the counter. No personality. The food is also overpriced. The salad should have been $5. Not $15. read more

Since the time they opened, have been wanting to try and finally went in on a Saturday for lunch! The set up is very much like Chipotle but here they have Mediterranean food. I wish the menu was simple like a bowl or a pita but they have chef selection which is not easy. I went with chicken and rice which is chef selection and the people behind who make the bowl have to read through the card to customize it! This makes the whole process slow. They are still getting used to but the line was long and slow which made many impatient. We can add more toppings and bases, some of them were charged extra. It costed about $35 for two people which I thought was a lot! But, the food is excellent and filling, loved the bowls! Overall, I can see myself going early or late and not during the peak time of the and stick to basic bowls! read more

What can I say... I am a lifetime fan of the Greek Chicken Pita. I keep coming back and I can't bring myself to order something else :) . The Mexican Cola is to die for .... Please build another one out in the Gilbert / Queen Creek area!! Please! read more

I have never repeatedly gone ANYWHERE that has screwed up my order as much as this place did the first few months they were opened...but the food is THAT good. First of all, I've had entire meals left off of my order through delivery (which they delivered after the fact) which was so comical because the delivery person arrived with literally just a blondie and harissa and pita side dish. Okay, whatever. I've had food delivered without drinks. I've picked up meals that were 45 minute waits AFTER the app pickup time. The employees have always been super apologetic and tried to make it right. The thing is every time I get the food I go to my happy place. I build my own bowl every time and it is always awesome. My husband likes the pita wraps. I will continue to go here because dang...it's good. read more

We recently went to try Cava. We all ordered a wrap and they were all different. Reviews were definitely mixed in our family. By the time you actually get to sit down and eat your food, the wraps are no longer hot, because it has to travel down the assembly line. I am willing to try it again, but I think I would order a bowl the next time, as I like my hot food hot. read more

Brand new to Chandler! So excited for this place to be close by. I have always wanted to try Cava since I hear great things, but they were located far so never got to try them out until now. The food was good! I got the steak bowl and there were so many toppings to choose from. The pita was also very delicious! Lots of options for drinks. We got it togo and thought the portions were small compare to the price of the bowls. I wonder if it was because it was togo container. Staff was super friendly! Lots of indoor seating available! read more

We got take out so I can't speak to the service or atmosphere but the food was great! The kids meal is the right amount of food for my toddlers to share, though the pita is messy like a soft taco. I got the spicy chicken avocado pita and it was really good! It was spicy from the harissa and sweet from the corn and honey, salty from the feta. I poured a little creamy dill on it and it was enjoyable. There wasn't very much avocado and too much corn, but it was good! I liked the pickles and the chicken a lot. The serving was huge! 15$ for a pita isn't cheap but it is a lot of food- think chipotle burrito sized. That being said, the pita is messy to eat because it falls out the back. I'd get a bowl next time. My husband built his own and loved it! We will probably go back! But it is kind of expensive. Two meals +kids meal came to 45$ read more

If I could give less than one star I would. My family frequents CAVA locations often, in Arizona and other states, the South Chandler,AZ. This Location served us mushy watered down scraps and did not even package all of our food. This food was disgusting. I'll NEVER order a pick up order here or eat here again! It was total mush, as if someone poured water over it and blended the broccoli. The hummus was like water. We requested dressing on the side and paid for pita chips, didn't get either. Our child's meal was covered in pepper. This was my worse experience in life, ordering food from anywhere. Made me nauseas to my stomach after one bite. If I could give negative stars, I would! read more

Horrible servus, man named Jesus was horrible. Portions was inconsistent. My friend got decent meat portion, while I got about half his. I asked for a little more and he said no, then I asked for rice cause it was under scooped and he said no. For 16 bucks the portion was ridiculous. If you hungry, don't go here. Also there were no utensils. But that worker was horrendous named Jesus. read more

Dropped in for lunch and it was busy-but it moves quick. Setup is like a chipotle/zupas type with the items lined up and you can either select an item off the menu and watch it be put together OR build your own!
