Braised lamb and super green bowl
Glen W.

Today I decided to have a late lunch at CAVA Grill in College Park, and I was really satisfied with the quick service, quality of the food and cleanliness inside of the casual restaurant. I had a super green bowl with rice and braised lamb. I added several of my favorite sides and sauces, and completed the meal with an order of pita chips, the pita chips are so good I highly recommend them. Cava grill continues to be one of my go to fast casual restaurants because of their freshness and price the food amount ratio. I definitely recommend them for lunch and or dinner if you don't feel like cooking because of the mini options that they have. They are also a good choice if you're one that is trying to track their nutritional intake because of all the available nutritional facts you can find within the store.

The service was amazing, I was served by Donald wonderful person and very kind and the food was very good

Build your own bowl
Katherine G.

My first time trying Cava! There aren't any locations near me where I'm from, so seeing that it was nearby where I was staying in my trip to the East Coast made me have to go. The process is basically a build-your-own style just like Chipotle, but for Mediterranean food. The portions are quite generous for the price as well, and service was fast. I got a build-your-own bowl with half rice half salad, falafel, hummus and tzatziki, plenty of veggies, and tahini sauce. They also give you a complementary side of pita bread! The bowl was seriously so good. With everything mixed together, it was all so fresh and delicious. I love falafel, and theirs was really good. A bit chewier and less crispy than other places, but felt less greasy and I liked the flavor. Overall, I love this spot and I would definitely be a regular if it was closer to where I lived!

"Saffron Basmati Rice"

Literally so exhausted of making this same review. If it says Saffron Rice, why is there no saffron? Three times this week all plain white rice. It throws off the bowl. Silver spring is the only cava that does saffron right, their food is way more flavorful in general. This location is close to my home so I always come here but if I have to travel 30minutes I will start, this is crazy.

it seems like there's a bowl-type franchise for every cuisine nowadays but Cava remains one of my favorites. Their portion sizes are generous and their food is refreshing! I highly recommend spending the extra $2 Cava bowls are from Chipotle...so worth!

My first time at this Cava. I had a good experience. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Since there was no line I was waited on immediately. I ordered my usual meal. All the ingredients were fresh and available. They accomodated my request for extra toppings. I was in and out in minutes.

My bowl
Nikita D.

Cava is one of my favorite places to eat and I've been going to this location ever since they opened. The food is absolutely delicious and filling. I enjoy the complimentary pita that comes with the meal. However, I've recently started to notice that when I place a mobile order for pickup, there items missing in my order. Recently I had asked for arugula in my bowl but received mainly romaine lettuce. In addition, there was barely any sauce drizzled on the top. I would be mindful to double check everything before you leave the restaurant.

Opening day at CAVA College Park!

I got a Mediterranean bowl. It was tasty, but I felt like the portion size was too small to be a satisfying lunch.

For a long time, I was very anti-spending a certain amount for a salad, but THIS was worth it. My…read morecoworkers would occasionally eat at Sweetgreen, and the FOMO I was feeling made me want to try it, so I did. I did an online order for pickup so i didnt get to interact with anyone or the space. I ordered the harvest bowl but customized it to my liking. To my harvest bowl I added spicy broccol, pickled onions, avocado, i replaced the goat cheese with parmesan and removed the balsamic vigera for the Lime Cilantro Jalapeno Vinaigrette, spicy cashew sauce, and green goddess ranch on the side. My salad was so good, I needed some privacy. It was also a good amount of food. I couldn't finish my food, so I actually saved half of it to eat an hour later :). I will most definitely be back and try some of the other bowls and salads !

So fresh and clean!…read more I travel a lot for work. I also think too much about what to eat, where, and when. Hello Sweetgreen! This chain is very consistent. Honestly, no matter which one I go to I am always satisfied with the care they put into each of the ingredients and recipes. I can always count on it to be a consistent and healthy meal. Food: I don't remember what I got from this location but it SLAPPED! I think it was a local Protein plate! Yummy! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. *Parking: There's plenty of parking considering it's on a college campus!

This is such a good place for great Jamaican food and vibes…read more I usually get jerk chicken or pork with white rice & mac and cheese but this time i was just swinging by for a beef patty... OMG I forgot how great they were! I got them super quickly since they're pre-made and sitting in a warmer but make sure to order ahead if you want something cooked. Forever a fave!

Surprisingly, this spot is open on Sunday. We didn't expect service would be great (as it was…read moreMother's Day) but it was worse than expected. The location itself was in the cut; you would drive right by it if you're not paying attention - as I did. The restaurant appears to be a house remodel into a restaurant and gave off the vibe that the food was going to be good - straight JA hole in the wall vibe. We sat in the back area and no server came. So we put our order into the kiosk sadly. I think if you give the order to the guy at the register the food may come quicker - at least that would be my hope. Without a person to talk to, I hopped back online to at least get the drinks we ordered. An hour later, I finally made it to the cashier and our food and drink was ready. I didn't like that the cashier was badmouthing other staff audibly. Keep your dirty laundry to yourself. Come to find out, you can order from the table and the food arrives without haste! Jerk chicken- a bit spicy and good. Calalloo tastes decent even though I suspect it was doctored from a can. Rice and pease need sauce/dressing because it Iowa's extremely dry. Brown stew chicken was sweeter than I've ever had but edible. Plantains good. Cabbage really crunchy, not bad taste but I would like it to be cooked a little longer. I would go back to try other things if I thought the service would be better. I'd say go for it - maybe your experience will be different. The outdoor seating and smell of the food being smoked was nice.

I ordered the pastichio and spanakopita and omgggg it's so good. The pastichio came with pita and side salad. I am obsessed; it hits every single time. I love the crisp edges on the top of the pastichio and the way the pasta and bechamel melt into the meat - it's very satisfying. I ordered my food directly on their site for pickup. It was ready when it said it would be and everyone was kind in handing it off and letting me know where the utensil and napkins are if needed. The restaurant is cute. My friend and I have sat outside to eat once to enjoy our food and it was relatively calm and quiet. I love this place so much and maybe someday I'll stray from my usual but ehhh it's ok.

The nice crust on the pork, fries, and fresh chopped veggies separate this gyro for me. Definitely worth a stop next time you're not sure what to eat. The menu is very complete, something for everyone. The service is always prompt and friendly. The gyros, calamari, and other items are cooked to order, so you can call ahead if you don't want to wait. The sitting area is not very big, but I believe they have arranged the space to make it comfortable without being too crowded. Very cute Greek decorated with a beautiful picture of Greece for a complete Greek experience. 100/10 recommend

My colleagues and I were obsessed, as was everyone else! Now it's just...average. Not sure if trying döner and shawarma made me feel like gyro is just a knock-off, or the quality went down, or I just don't like it anymore...but their prices are fair. There is ample parking. It doesn't taste bad. It's just...kinda average when compared to other options. Sad this day has come, because I really did love them way back when. In fact, I was a supporter. I also had nothing to compare it to, so maybe that's why. Oh well.
