    Super greens with spicy lamb and roasted veggies
    Carol R.

    Time for an updated review. While the service here can be hit or miss, the food is consistently good and relatively healthy. I typically order a BYO salad online for pickup, and I like that it calculates the calories for you. Don't forget to sign up for rewards - used mine today for harissa chips which were spicy, crispy goodness.

    First Time at Cava - Amazing Experience! After soo many people telling us to try CAVA, we finally decided to give them a try. Our 1st visit is one for the books. From the moment we walked in, the experience was great. Our server, Timi, was absolutely awesome. He took his time to explain the menu to both my daughter and I, walking us through all the options and helping us figure out which ones to try. The food was great and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Big shoutout to Timi for making our first visit such a great one and for allowing me to capture the moment. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

    This was my second visit to this Cava location. To be honest the first time I walked out and didn't end up buying anything because there was a long line and one employee working. The second visit (almost 3 months later) I came right before the lunch rush and there was again only one employee working. This employee was Taylor. She's a gem but really needs some assistance from her company. No one employee should be working the lunch rush. She was in charge of walk-in customers, online orders, building and ringing out the food and restocking items that were out. There was another gentlemen working but he was strictly on cooking duty. Taylor kept a positive attitude and built me the best darn lunch bowl I could have. Again, I've never had Cava before so she was nice enough to explain the menu to me and even went so far to recommend some of her favorites like the garlic dressing which was a great choice. The pitas that came with my bowl were warm and delicious. 5 stars for the food and service but to be honest I wouldn't recommend this location if you're in a rush.

    Build your own bowl with extra garlic sauce (warm pita already devoured)

    I love me some Cava! It's a frequent craving of mine when I don't feel like cooking, but want something semi-healthy and delicious! It's one of the best create your own Mediterranean bowl places, in my humble opinion. They have less topping options than a lot, but sometimes less is more when you've nailed the flavor profiles to perfection. Don't skip over the pickles, if you're a pickle person. Only skip the garlic sauce if you don't like flavor and don't want to become addicted. I get extra pita and dip it straight in. Soooo good! What is even better is that the helpings are so generous, I already have lunch planned for tomorrow!!

    Always order from this location when I'm in the neighborhood. Usually, I did a pick-up and never had an issue with my order. Always right and on time. Everyone is nice and pleasant. Restaurants are clean and have plenty of seating inside and outside patio seating. It's located in a shopping center so there are plenty of spots to choose from. I always order the build your own grains and greens bowl. Their falafel tastes amazing, and their lamb meatballs also. Definitely recommend this location.

    A amazing bowl.

    They stayed open late so I could grab a bite! Super thankful and really sweet people too. Shane, Lisa, and Kaleigh really are tops. Will be back soon!

    Delicious salad bowl balsamic date chicken bowl! The chicken, vegetables and rice were all in a savory sauce. I enjoyed the flavors. This was a weekday lunch time and very busy. There was a couple delays, with line prep and lunch crowd line but the food was excellent. They have some yummy cane sugar sodas. They also have house made lemonade and juice. The staff did their best and I will be back.

    1 star. Absolutely horrible customer service experience…read more I was the ONLY person in line and made it all the way through the salad stations. All that was left was lids for my dressing, bread, paying, and leaving. Another customer walked in BEHIND me and instead of finishing my order, the employee completely stopped helping me and took the new customer through the ENTIRE line while I stood there waiting. I then had to wait 5-8 minutes while the second customer slowly decided on ingredients and changed her mind multiple times. The person behind me got almost full uninterrupted service while I -- the first customer in line -- was left standing there waiting. What made it even worse was the manager's response. He defended the employee, told me she "did nothing wrong," and completely dismissed my frustration with a "have a nice evening." The issue wasn't just the wait. It was being skipped over and then treated like my frustration didn't matter. I've been there around 5 times in the last month, but after this experience, I will never return.

    This chain is new to me, but apparently is well established in Houston. They've got a well-run…read moreoperation going, with a manager gently pushing the staff but not afraid to make a salad herself on duty when I was there. The strategy here is based around ingredient quality and variety. You get unlimited toppings, but with only a small portion of each one, the incentive is to pursue variety. I enjoyed doing so, and added some falafel for protein which they helpfully offered to crush into little bits for me. In addition to numerous fruits and vegetables, the multigrain croissant at the end bears mentioning, a flaky, hearty creation that works well for mopping up salad dressing but which I wish I could find without the salad. The choice of ingredients also allows the eater to pick up a decent amount of protein and unsaturated fats as there are several nuts, beans, and other useful options. And the dressings are delicious. I haven't figured out the rewards system yet, but I wasn't sad that I stopped here for dinner.

    My girlfriend and I stopped by Salata in South End on the way out of town for a birthday Airbnb…read moretrip and thought the place looked great inside. The space is bright, clean, and feels like a nice addition to the neighborhood. The biggest downside was the parking situation which is obviously more of a South End issue than a Salata issue, but it definitely made the quick stop feel less convenient than we expected. The ordering flow was also a little awkward... after building your order you end up waiting at the register while the food is assembled, which slowed things down more than it needed to. Food-wise, my wrap ended up being really good but there wasn't an option for a plain wrap, so I went with the cucumber wrap instead of whole wheat and it actually worked out great. Overall, it was a good meal, but if I'm choosing between salad spots in Charlotte I'd probably lean toward Chopt most of the time.

    I had a great lunch at this Salata location the other day. I didn't even realize this was here.

I walked in and no one was inside so I was able to order right away. I had a spinach salad with lots of yummy fresh toppings and the spice chipotle lime chicken. It looked as good as it tasted. The pesto chicken looked great too, but I wanted a little heat. I love their options and that you get the cute lil croissant with the salad. I had the ginger lime vinaigrette and REALLY enjoyed this salad.

The chicken skewers were especially great during earlier visits -- very moist, flavorful, and something we specifically came back to order again. Unfortunately, our last visit was really disappointing. The chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry compared to prior visits. The brussel sprouts were also undercooked and mostly raw. It's also worth noting they do not take reservations for parties under six, which can make planning ahead difficult during busy times. It was frustrating because we know the food can be much better based on our previous experiences. If the kitchen were more consistent, the rating would be very different.

    Get Schnitz-faced!!…read more In Yafo Kitchen has become my go-to spot in Charlotte, largely because of one dish: the schnitzel. If you're a schnitzel fan, stop reading and order it. Two generous pieces arrive shatteringly crisp with a beautifully seasoned panko crust that's never greasy. The chicken stays tender and juicy, and the fresh lemon wedges bring everything to life. It's one of those dishes that keeps pulling me back. My favorite side is the shell macaroni and cheese. Rich, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Together, the schnitzel and mac and cheese are comfort food perfection. I also love the self-serve organic Tractor beverages, the open kitchen concept, and how consistently clean the restaurant feels. The team is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and you can watch everything being prepared right in front of you. Parking is easy thanks to the shared shopping center lot, the outdoor patio along East Boulevard is pleasant, and the portions are generous for the price. Clean restaurant. Friendly people.
