Absolutely loved Cava. It was the preview day so they were slammed packed, but they somehow kept the line moving and the food flowing! Also, despite being so busy staff members still found the time to walk around and make sure people where doing fine and happy with their meals! This location is pretty easy to find located in park road shopping center. It's middle sized on the inside so during peak times seating may get tough, but not to bad. I went with brown rice and romaine as my base and braised lamb and lamb meatballs as protein. They also have tons of great toppings and sauce options that makes your bowl magical! I'm definitely a fan and will be back soon! read more

Opening preview night was packed and for good reason. The food was fresh and the service was amazing! I got the grain/green bowl with falafel & the fresh seasonal vegetables. Loaded with sides and dips! They do not skimp on anything. Also got a hot mini pita to go with my bowl. I also got a side of the grilled meatballs! Delish! The fresh drinks are delicious. I got the Apple cinnamon vanilla- tasted like fall! Next time I will try the Greek Mediterranean soup! Sounded so good! It's good for takeout cause they don't have a huge amount of seating. But then again it's food that's fast. So seats open as fast as they are filled. Don't be fooled by a long line here, it's worth the wait. They are efficient and have a great system! I love the concept of Cava the fresh healthy Mediterranean option! They have a list of GF/DF and other allergy info. All nutritional value info is posted as well. Thank you to the staff that worked so hard to provide the fresh food for us. Everything is sourced locally which is also amazing that they give back! read more

This is like a Cava tradition for me, my second time being the first to review Cava in Charlotte lol. I love this place so much and the staff as well as the food is great! Today they had the preview meal day and guest had the opportunity to enjoy an assortment of Mediterranean options. You select your green, grains and toppings oh and don't forget the awesome in-house pita chips. This new CLT cava is located near Firestone and Harris Teeter in the Park Road Shopping Center. The architectural work is great and from the outside it looks as if it's two levels but it's not. What I love the most about Cava is the way they give back to the community. During community day they offer free dinner to the community in exchange for donations that will benefit a local farming non profit. All proceeds raised will be donated to Sow Much Good! Check out Cava you won't be disappointed! read more

I hope this place keeps up the good work for the long run. Everyone has been talking about this place; BELIEVE THE HYPE. This place serves healthy meals: quick, casual and tasty. Think of a healthier/fresher version of Chipotle. You choose your base (greens or grains or both), add proteins and veggies, and choose your sauce. HINT: THE SAUCE MAKE THE DISH - GREAT CHOICE OF SAUCES! Plenty of parking, conveniently located and clean location. You can order online and skip the lines. I'll be returning for lunch. read more

I swear by this place y'all I'm not even kidding! Cava is a chipotle serving style with Mediterranean cuisine which the best combo IMO. They have practically a limitless amount of options for vegans & vegetarians, but also have a great selection of proteins as well. You start by picking your grain or greens then you pick your hummus then your protein, then your toppings/sauce/dressing. Super fast and convenient, I always use the app because it's quick & I can just run in and pick it up & when you spend a certain amount of $$ you get a free meal. Staff is always great, never had a problem with them. I have to say one thing that cava stands out for is their environmental support and priorities, all the utensils, bowls, and even straws are biodegradable. All their sodas are non-commercial and organic, and all the juices are made in house with real ingredients. read more

This place is good! I'm glad to see one added to the Park Road shopping center. On my most recent visit I opted for the soup and mini pita. I like that you can mix and match up the options to ensure you get exactly what you want. I asked for half chicken and half falafel. I loaded up on the toppings! My favorites include the crazy feta and the green harissa. I want to try everything. I can't wait to come back! read more

I decided to go to the Park Road location because the University location's service and food was declining. When I arrived they were totally disorganized. The person at the counter was confused about where to find the orders. She finally finds it, right by the register. I leave the store only to arrive home and my order is completely wrong. I call the location to request a refund and for whatever reason that's not possible, she offered to replace my bowl which isn't an option considering I live almost 30 mins away...Whoever fixed my meal had one job...the order slip was extremely clear. read more

Cava has the best chicken pita around! They are a great quarantine lunch. Cava started using Uber Eats for delivery so you should try it out! The grilled chicken is excellent.

I had heard great things about cava but had never been. I'm so glad I found out that this location would be opening AND that the food would be FREE. If that hadn't been the case, I would have kept putting it off. Anyway, despite being fairly busy for their lunchtime preview, it was a good experience. Like everyone says, it's like the Greek version of Chipotle with way more options. My bowl was delicious. I really loved the feta dip and wish I had gotten 3 scoops of that instead of the red pepper eggplant and roasted red pepper dip. The bowl was filling. Also, their drinks were good. The staff were very friendly and parking at that time was no problem. I would go again. The only thing that would keep me from going every day is the price. :-) read more

I have been to this location a few times now and have never received good service. The last time I went (last time I will ever go) was the worst service yet. This was during busy hours so i understand that it can get a little hectic. Starting from asking which rice I want to which dressings I want was a complete mess. Firstly, I was rushed for each section of my bowl, secondly, I didn't even get a chance to order my protein that I wanted, when one of the employees just gave everyone in line Chicken. While this was going on people in the back were arguing and I couldn't understand or communicate anything to the employee asking what I want for toppings. The whole time I was there the employees made it feel like the people ordering were in the wrong for asking what we want if they got it wrong. If you want to go there for good food (for the most part) and don't care about bad service then Cava off Park rd is the spot to go. read more

The stars are for the attitude of the lady working today Nov 5th at approximately 2:30pm only. The young lady with the BLACK AND BLONDE FAUX locs has one of the nastiest attitudes I have every witnessed in a restaurant. If my wife hadn't ordered already I would have left and she didn't even wait on us. She was doing the online and/or call in orders and had a VERY nasty attitude with EVERY person that came in and asked for their food. She was making the orders and dropping F bombs constantly. I don't usually write reviews like this because I value people's employment but this young lady was WAY OVER the top with attitude to the point of me feeling uncomfortable. I understand they are probably short staffed but the attitude was so bad other employees were telling her to chill out. Once again the 2 stars are for her attitude only.

The short rib bolognese. A fabulous small plate, but plenty for two . This sauce was so good with the fresh grilled bread they serve. The pasta was perfectly cooked, spinach flavored. Truffle ricotta, and crispy prosciutto on top, nice pieces of short rib too. This was an excellent dish. We were truly full so had to pass on dessert but we did get a after dinner espresso martini, called the Salud! A Spanish table toast, peppermint infused tequila, espresso, licor 43, coffee liquor and creme de cacao. Served frozen, this tasted like an Andes mint. Perfect after dinner drink. I hope this stays on the menu! So good. I'm so glad this place is still going strong and busy on a Monday night! I love everything about Chapter 6, such a great spot.

It can be hard to find if you are coming in from the main street as it is located inside a building that has other restaurants and stores inside. But it is rather spacious inside with lovely minimalistic and neutral vibes. The service was pretty great as we were given recommendations and our water was continuously refilled. My friends and I got the Crab Brik, Wagyu Burger, Shakshuka, and Avocado Toast. The Crab Brik came in little triangular wontons that were fried to perfection. I think real crab meat was used which is always nice. There was some aioli on the plate, but certainly not enough to dip with meal in. The Avocado Toast was recommended by our server and it was a top tier choice! It had chili dukka on it so everything from the eggs, sourdough bread, and avocados tasted very seasoned, despite the dish sounding a bit plain. They do not skimp out on the avocado here. My friend said the Wagyu Burger tasted good and I tried the Shakshuka (for the first time in my life) which tasted very tomato-y but still yummy with the bread! I think this is a cute place, especially for brunch. I would rate this place 4.5/5 stars if I could. I want to come back and try their dinner menu which has more food options.

Ilios is fantastic! The food was so fresh and flavorful…read more We were impressed by the freshness and amazing flavor of the food. "Crafted" is the right descriptor for the restaurant name, too. This food isn't just cooked. It's definitely a craft having been mastered at Ilios. The falafel wasn't heavy and dense like most other places. It was so good! And the chicken was cooked perfectly... juicy, tender and flavorful. The sides we had were fresh and tasty. We happened to meet the owner when checking out. His passion and energy for bringing a little of Greece for us all to enjoy was infectious. We're not from around here. Now I need to figure out a way to convince them to open an Ilios near me in Raleigh!

While the lamb was definitely tender (thanks to being sliced thin), everything on this particular plate was noticeably lacking seasoning. It wasn't bad, just underwhelming. especially compared to how good everything else usually is. Lesson learned: the chicken, red pepper hummus and fries are far better. I'll happily return, but next time I'm sticking with what they do best.
