The food was great and the people are very friendly. We had two bowls dine-in each. The portions are comparable to other places. The place is clean and looks good. read more

the best place :) and best staff. Always so caring and wanting to help. The food is always fresh and amazing

Been here a few times. The food is always filling and the portions are great for what you pay. Staff is super helpful if you have questions, and always work with a smile. Not too crowded so the noise level isn't bad, and they have outdoor seating for the nicer days of the year. read more

This place is perfect for healthy eaters. The food is fresh and so tasty and doesn't give you the guilt of eating what I like to call "trash food" lol definitely one of my go to places when I'm out and about. read more

Cava is a great healthy choice Mediterranean food place. Staff is great, place is clean, and you can sit outside in the summer. It's a great casual Sunday food spot. They also have great vegetarian/vegan options. read more

I really enjoy the food at Cava, but the service in University is terrible. I never leave feeling good, or treated well. The staff are argumentative and have witnessed several times associates arguing with customers. The associate taking my order just looked at me when it was my turn, offered no greeting just stared like I was an inconvenience to her. Always disappointed when I leave read more

I love CAVA! Every time I visit, I'm impressed with their seasonal and fresh selections. For my Charlotte people, CAVA definitely rivals Yafo. I refuse to declare one better than the other, but do have an ongoing list of ingredients or selections I prefer at one over the other. CAVA has an amazing selection of ingredients for your build-your-own-bowl. You can get items like tabbouleh on top of your grains/greens. Their greens mixes are fantastic, as are the falafels. Also, don't sleep on the drinks. I'm the person that only gets a water cup at restaurants, but you definitely need to try CAVAs refreshing beverages! read more

Oh man! Love cava! The pita chips alone would make me come back. Love the bowls with lamb, yum!

Sadly, we are posting a lower review until we hear back as to what the dirty grit is in the supergreens. We gave up ordering Cava online due to coming in to pickup our order and the restaurant being out of what we ordered.. We have altered our order each time "giving it another go" as our first experience was amazing! Please reach out and explain what has happened at this location and whether we should give up or try again. Such a shame! read more

Some coworkers took me to lunch today and this was my first experience at CAVA. We had lunch around 1215 on 5/22. It was awesome! I had the salad and it was very filling and prices are fair. I like that they use locally NC farmers to get their ingredients. Highly recommended place to eat for a good lunch that's quick, friendly and healthy all while supporting local farmers! read more

THIS place. I've been waiting for a restaurant like this forEVAH!!! So happy to know they are opening one in Birkdale which is closer to my home. You choose from a variety of fresh greens, grains, beans, chopped vegetables to build your bowl or pita then choose your dressing and hummus. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I got the bowl and it was a pretty good size. I love it!! Will definitely be a regular here!! read more

CAVA - I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Opening in Huntersville soon!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The addiction is real. That is all. But seriously, fresh flavors that surprise and delight. There is so much to love you can't single out one thing. It combines into a piece of food artwork. Crunchy, sour, salty, spicy, savory, fresh goodness. For what it's worth, here's what I get: super greens, brown rice, lentils, no protein, tzatziki, Harissa, eggplant hummus, radishes, pickled onions, cucumbers and tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, pita chips on top, cucumber dill. Insanely delicious. One bowl equals two meals for $12 including a side pita and large drink. YUM. read more

20 mins late on pickup order to arrive and find out that they don't have veggies for a veggie bowl. Smh! Chipotle would never!

Ok so i been on a KETO diet for 4 months now and its really hard to find good food that i can have with this diet and not fan of salad... i know!!! But these salads are the best!!! This place is awesome and you can order with app and your order is complete in minutes!!! CAVA people are awesome. Definitely great place for lunch, dinner and snack time. Come try them out if your into Mediterranean food. read more

This place has only been open a short amount of time, but I've already been twice! For my first visit, I wasn't sure what to order, so I took advice from another Yelp review and ordered the half greens/half grain bowl with veggies instead of protein. I got 3 spreads: the eggplant and red pepper, the roasted red pepper hummus and the crazy feta, and loved ALL of them! For toppings, I did cucumbers, tomato and red onion, feta cheese, and their cauliflower quinoa tabbouleh. Lastly, I had it topped with their yogurt tzatziki. This combo was SO good, that I ordered it exactly again on my second visit. The portions are large and I've added the side of pita both times, so I was able to have it for lunch and then the leftovers as a large snack. Another really awesome thing about this place is the management. My fiance and I met Chris on our most recent visit after just closing on our house. As our food was being made, he asked about our day and learned about a big life event. When we got to the end of the line to pay, we were told "80 cents".. for two large meals! I thought I misheard her, but it was legit. Chris later came over to our table and we chatted about his recent move to CLT and the other Cava's he plans to open. What an awesome dude! As far as the location, this one is super close to UNCC and those of us who work there really appreciate this as a healthy option that can be reached within the hour lunch window. The line tends to be long at lunch, but it moves super fast. read more

A little overwhelming for a first timer. You can go for a salad, a grain bowl or a combo of greens and grains. After you settle on a base, you get to add dips, proteins, toppings and dressing. The toppings were all delicious and flavorful. I will say the rice was very plain on its own. The bowls come with a small pita; chewy with crispy edges. Shout out to awesome drink options. They sell spindrift sodas, chocolate and regular milk, lemonade and teas, and natural sodas! No Coke or Pepsi here, folks! Price was reasonable for the quality of food. I would come back to try a different combo. $24 for two with drinks. read more

oh, CAVA, since moving to Charlotte two years ago, I have missed my DC-metro area eats and I was THRILLED that this has finally made its way down here. I absolutely love CAVA for their use of fresh, local ingredients, many of which are gluten-free. They also have all of their nutrition information online so if you are counting anything--macros--sodium--calories--whatever, it is literally at your fingertips. This location is always clean and the staff is SO friendly. read more

This place is amazing. Totally customizable grain/green bowls that you can make as healthy, or not, as you want! When you get in line, they ask you what kind of "base" you would like. You can choose grains, greens, a combination, a pita, mini pitas or sometimes there are a few other options. Definitely take a look at the menu online before you arrive to get an idea of what you may like. Then you choose a dip/spread or three (I choose hummus) and next you pick your protein - you can do half and half of something! Then you can add unlimited "toppings" that include things like tomatoes, cucumbers, slaw, quinoa, and many more! Last, you pick a dressing, but I found that I didn't even need one! I just used a lemon to add a little more flavor. I ended up ordering a greens and grains bowl with brown rice and romaine, hummus, chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, quinoa and a little bit of lemon juice. It was delicious. It's a great option for vegetarians, vegans, those on special diets, etc. Have been twice in one month! Will be back again soon! read more

I am so glad to see a relatively healthy food spot in university!! As a student it's difficult to be on the run and eat right, but CAVA really helped today! The ingredients were so flavorful, so many options, and the staff we super friendly. Can't wait to make this a frequent stop!! read more

The food is great! It's super tasty and filling. My concern with this place is that they don't always carry out the orders accurately. When I ordered online and took the food to go, I was disappointed that some toppings that I ordered were missing from my meal. I would recommended dining in or checking your meal before leaving the place. read more

This is one of my favorite take out places. I love the salads. I personally find the website a bit confusing. And I feel that the salads are smaller when you take out in comparison to eating in. But staff in university area is always friendly. read more

Prompt, polite service. Food is well prepared. Would come back! It's also a convenient location with all of the shilling around and it's on my way to work. :) read more

The place was very clean. Friendly staff. Good quakity fresh food. Hubby and I had a bowl with greens and grains and meatballs with tona of toppings. All the flavors blend well together. First time here i will definitely return. read more

CAVA - Delicious bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Pretty good first time going a couple months ago! Love this spot will definitely go again soon! Thank you

shae, deondre were really great! Awesome customer service

This place is just simply delicious! I recommend trying their dressings the cilantro one is almost sinfully good. This place is strikingly similar to Chipotle however if I had to pick between this and chipotle I would pick this. read more

Cava is a unique type of Build Your Own bowl places as it's Mediterranean. The food is tasty and the portions large, but you'll definitely need to experiment some kt use their suggested combos because some things do not mix well together. read more

Great food here. I come here at least 3 times a week. Food is consistently great and some people know me on a first name basis which is cool. Also a healthy alternative to most places and still great tasting read more

I ordered online & was beyond disappointed. I ordered 2 bowls & received dang near 1 combined. Each bowl was half full. It was missing ingredients & the ingredients that were included barely had any. I am livid about the experience. This place is great for in person dining because you can see what they put it your bowl & you can make sure it's up to expectations. If you order online, be prepared to be ripped off & disappointed. read more

Ever since the Fred tasting at the new location in Huntersville, I have been in love with Cava. The food is always fresh and tasty and this time was no different. I always get the greens and grains with chicken. I especially would like to mention the customer service I received from Jada. She was patient and kind and she totally made my day! read more

Cava is amazing. I come here every day for lunch or dinner. the price for the amount of food is perfect. I love it here!

you pretty much can't go wrong with any combination that you get here. The pickled onions are to die for. Order it to go it is a lot of food and great as a late night snack if you have leftovers. If you happen to get a kids meal don't get the pita chips they just fry a regular pita and it's pretty salty and greasy. The staff is nice and the restaurant is clean. It's an assembly line so it goes pretty fast. This place is a regular stop for me when I want something savory that's somewhat healthy. read more

Food is great and ordering online makes it a breeze to order. The drinks are also different in a good way which I appreciate.

I was just in and a girl named Cindy was at the start of the line and completing the process up to and including the protein. I asked for my scoops and I forgot it was only three scoops and not four. When I asked for two tzatziki scoops she asked if I was ok with the up charge. I said no, nevermind. She then tossed my bowl to the side and proceeded to help the customers behind me. Now, up to this point, I watched her ask customers what protein they wanted in order to keep the line moving, but she didn't ask me. With this being said, I think Cindy could use a refresher in how to treat customers with kindness...period. read more

So freaking good! Great spot for lunch/dinner Crazy Feta "hummus" spread with pita is a GAME CHANGER. My only complaint is if you go at the peak of business (lunch hour/dinner hour) expect skimpy servings from the servers. I understand it's most likely because they don't want to run out during their busiest times but it's kind of a bummer when you're hungry. read more

Omg first time there, I got a bowl with mixed greens, quinoa, chicken once I got home there was a sweet bug nesting on my lettuce. I had no taken the top off my food since I left the restaurant so I know this bugger came home with me. Went and got a refund the next day, to never return again. read more

The grain bowl was very tasty. I had the one without meat, but they have lamb and other meat choices that looked really delicious. I will definitely go back again. read more

We ordered on the Cava website for delivery. The kids meals we ordered were left off. When we called the store to rectify the situation they were less than helpful. They blamed doordash and hung up on us when we refused to accept nothing as a response. Absolute garbage customer service and management! read more

So...... this place is the ish!!!! A friend told me about this spot, so I decided to drop in after my race. I wasn't sure how the setup works so I overheard the lady in front of me telling her friend. I really like that you build your own dish. I selected the greens and grains bowl. With half chicken & meatball lambs to go. The line moved quickly. I do wish they had better descriptions of all the options. They are listed but you can't tell where they align & you end up asking the staff what it is and about the taste. I think i could go here everyday for two weeks and still have a different dish everyday. It dish amount is just right & light. read more
