    My date
    Cassandra S.

    I think I ordered a steak bowl, but I'm not really sure they kept asking questions and I told them I never been there before and they weren't really detailed or explained much. Jamal was very friendly. Kourtney was very friendly. Tons of the staff were outgoing and super bubbly. This made the environment and atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. I can say I would've never tried this variety on my own at home, but it wasn't terrible. Definitely different. But as a family of five, we spent over $70 including tip and that's just not feasible in my mind because everything was addition, drinks chips, etc. The kids meal was very plain and not very kid friendly. It came with rice and steak, which he didn't like. It was very bland not kid friendly.

    Went to Cava recently to try what the hype is and I was not disappointed. The inside of the restaurant was nicer than I thought. I went for the build-your-own bowl and there were so many ways that you can customize your bowl. My favorite protein would the braised lamb. It costed extra but so worth it. The meat was so juicy and super tender. The grilled steaks were also delicious as well. I think the hot chicken was a little dry and a bit salty for my taste. Service here at this location was a bit slow. We asked them to heat up our pita and they forgot about it since it was so busy.

    Finally got to try the new Cava! Keep in mind there will be a wait! So possibly order ahead to avoid any potential wait times. The restaurant is very nice, plenty of seating inside and small outdoor patio. Many different many options and combinations which I appreciate. And also very friendly for non-meat eaters! I tried a bowl with their new salmon. I was a little disappointed with the serving size and went ahead and got a double portion so I definitely think that is not worth the additional cost. Unfortunately the pita chips I got were a bit too salty so that took away from the overall flavor. But overall, it was a solid meal and felt pretty balanced.

    The frenzy for CAVA is insane, but I get it. Before we moved to MO, CAVA was just 15 minutes from my office and then I deleted the app when we got here because it wasn't here! Well, when it opened up here I knew it would be busy for a while. It is still CRAZY busy - line to the DOOR. And depending on the traffic, they close the app down for pick up orders. On a whim, at 9PM, I went to see if we could do a pick up and it was available! There was still a huge line, but I haughtily got my food on the pick up shelf and giddily ran to my husband while he waited in the car (lol) The portions were much smaller than I remember, but I'll attribute that to being slammed at every hour. The restaurant was pretty clean while I was walking through. The only issue was their ice was completely out, so our drinks weren't refreshingly cold. Still, it's CAVA and I'll always be a fan.

    This place is pretty much perfect to me. I love the menu choices, the house-made beverages are really good, it's very clean and bright and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They have unique fountain beverage choices like house-made selections like Aleppo Orange, cucumber mint lime, blueberry lavender, and lemonade. There was also freshly brewed iced tea and soda by Maine Root. The staff offered wonderful customer service and were very patient with me as it was my first time visiting. they have premade bowls and pita, or you can build your own. There is a lot of choices to make so you may want to plan ahead if it's usually hard to decide. I chose the "build your own bowl" with salmon. Everything was so fresh! I loved the option of lentils for added protein, and pickled onions really elevated my entrée. I will definitely return.

    Sour Mac chips

    I stopped by early Sunday afternoon and was genuinely impressed with what they had to offer. The setup is similar to Chipotle, where you move down an assembly line and build your meal by choosing your protein and toppings. I went with a bowl as my base--brown rice, half chicken and half steak for protein, hummus, and I got balsamic dressing on the side. As I got closer to the register, I noticed the sour mac chips looked too good to pass up, so I made an impulsive last-minute add-on. To my surprise, the total came out to just over $21. Since I was hungry, I tried some of the pita chips on the way home, and they absolutely delivered on flavor. Even though it ended up costing more than I expected, I was really satisfied with the experience overall and am already looking forward to coming back and trying something different next time.

    Great food and drinks. Long line, but worth it. This is your standard fast casual assembly line setup: Mediterranean style. Ingredients are beautiful and tasty. The long line makes sense. SO MANY DRINK OPTIONS. I got a small drink cup and tried them all. Great outdoor seating. The price was good, no surprises. I got a hefty bowl with grains/greens with falafel/lamb. Great sauces and dips. The app is VERY good and the carryout was busy.

    Great food and friendly service. Pros: Falafel Crunch bowl was a great vegan option (minus the feta). Good flavors. The very busy staff were very friendly. My husband reported that the bathrooms were clean. Cons: expected more than two falafel in my bowl, but I didn't leave hungry. UPDATE: I received two falafels because my other "main" was mixed roasted vegetables. The veg was good but I will probably add them to 4 falafels next time. It's hard to order because the music is so loud that the employees can't hear your requests. Kinda slow Too COLD Weird: retro 80s decor? Conclusion: Ill be back

    Build Your Own: Spicy Lamb Meatballs
    Michelle L.

    I know, it's crazy to go on opening day. Here's the timeline: 11:39 line 11:52 inside 12:10 order 12:18 eat I have to say they handled it well considering how many people were here. I'm sure the crowd will die down after a couple of weeks. I did build your own bowl with power greens, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, spicy lamb meatballs, 1/2 portion black lentils, pickled onion, pickles, feta, fiery broccoli, sumac slaw, & lemon herb tahini. It was delicious. Cava is better than any other fast casual restaurant around. The only thing I really didn't like was the blueberry drink I tasted. If you haven't been you should go.

    Sumac Sour Cream & Onion Pita Chips
    Vineela B.

    We finally got a Cava! I was excited to try it because I know so many people that live in other cities always rave about it. To me this feels like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but with more fresh ingredients and different mixes of flavors. I got a chicken rice bowl with power greens. The topping options are plentiful with lots of good veggie choices. I also appreciate the sauce options, as I always need my bowls drenching in sauce to feel flavorful. The Sumac Sour Cream & Onion Pita Chips were so good and great for dipping. Would recommend coming here during non-peak hours, as I've seen the line way out the door multiple times. I'm sure the crowds will also die down as time goes on / other locations open. Can't wait to try more bowl combinations here!

    Sour Pita! Yummy
    Chiquita M.

    Busy busy busy the line will definitely be the start for this wonderful establishment. Let me tell you about Cava, despite the wait it was amazing! The people were friendly, the inside was clean. When I say no one was eating inside it was literally one couple! I waited for an hour but it was enjoyable. I think on Monday I have enough time to wait again. Please build this Cava in Des Peres! If you love Mediterranean food or even like to eat healthy or sometimes want it a bit spicy this is your place! I'm sold! Well done indeed! Oh I got traditional Hummus/ blueberry lavender drink I will be back TOMORROW!!!!

    Grains bowl and pita chips
    Allison W.

    First time to Cava! I got there about 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday. There were about 15 people in line by the time the door is opened. I definitely wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for a bowl, but I would make a stop if the line is short. Unfortunately, the entire meal was fairly pricey. $20 for a grains bowl, side of pita chips and drink (near $4!!). I would absolutely skip the drink next time. The pita chips were a must. The protein was a few scoops too, which was nice. There was a cava employee for each section of the line, and everyone was in good spirits with answering the repeated questions with the first time guest. The inside is clean, spacious, and retro. There are even some seating options outside. Plenty of parking in a spacious lot. I will definitely be back when I want another rice bowl and have $15 to burn.

    Featured salmon bowl with allll the goodies
    Emelie M.

    I'm easily going to burn myself out on Cava but it sure is delicious every time! Even with the line out the door, they seem to have quick and efficient service! I love the featured salmon bowl- just wish sometimes they would keep extra salmon stocked so they don't run out so often!

The food was very flavorful, but appetizer was served after the main meal meals were served. I appreciated the diced tomatoes dipping sauce vs ketchup... it upscaled the dish nicely. The fries were golden brown and tasty. The gyro was good. The black coffee was strong and hot. The place needs another server to increase the business during the lunch rush. The one waitress did a great job, but the place is large... for a couple of hours they could use another staff member. The kitchen staff needs more people. The falafel. And coffee should have been made first-then the sandwiches. I believe this was the because of skeleton crew idea of management. Even the entrance was not located under their sign, but located under a Hertz sign. Overall- the name sounds like a "fast-service casual" place, but owners never worked out the kinks yet. I am a fan otherwise. I can see what the place could become.

Much older crowd. We Had dinner with another couple. Wish I took pictures of our food but now I know why haven't returned here in over a decade. I had hummus appetizer. Hummus was small portion and pita bread cut into quarters had some carrots slivers too. Pita was not even warm. I had the Lamb Shank. The meat was tender but sadly covered with a brown pasty flavor less gravy that ruined it and couldnt tell if it was fresh or not. Our waitress heated my dish at table side on a burner but didn't do it very long and temperature of food was luke warm, at best. Had to flag other people down just to get. Ice tea refill. They delayed my wife's dinner. My mixed vegetables were soggy like it sat in water. My wife got a platter:"Hot Platter" 3 shrimp and spanakopita and like spinach cake and flaming cheese. Even after flaming presentation, She told me felt like just pulled out of refrigerator cheese wasn't warm. The flaming cheese while nice presentation was also mediocre at best. She only finished 1/3 of her meal. We are regular diners from fast food (have 2 teenagers) to nice sit down dinners. We both agreed this was inedible meal, poor food rating IMHO. As soon as we left, had to take 2 chewable Tums on way back; food did not sit well with me. I was ill rest of evening and still feel uneasy updating this 6 am Tuesday. Wonder how fresh food served on a Monday was. IMHO, NOT worth $100 or even less if it affected my Stomach. I wouldn't do it again even if free of charge; not willing to gamble. NOT on our return list ! BTW, the service was mediocre. My wife and I mentioned last month we took a cruise RC, what a wonderful top tier quality of food in main dining room and service on a cruise was just as good or better than any 5* Restaurants; puts Spiro to shame once you've had wonderful meals. I miss the "Greek Gourmet" on N. new Ballas. It was real Greek food from the 90s and Cafeteria style. Will not becoming back! Hope I recover soon as literally I was GI ill as soon as we arrived Home last evening.

Later that morning, I decided we should go there for lunch since Ms T was out to lunch (literally, this time) with a friend. As a result, KT and I ended up at Dinar, a first time for me. I have driven by many, many times and have not taken the time to investigate. I kind of assumed it was Indian cuisine or maybe pan-Mediterranean. I had no idea. She told me that they provide a complimentary small serving of the lentil soup with meals, but we asked for a large serving each and shared an Iraqi Chicken Tikka sandwich. The soup was delivered first, and I must say that it is very good. It has delicious chicken flavor and is not really spiced in any other way, although there is plenty of salt. We loved it. I shook on a little black pepper and really enjoyed it. It is simple, yet so good. The Chicken Tikka sandwich was ordered with their Iraqi bread, which I highly recommend. This sandwich is something I would also go back for. The chicken is well seasoned and grilled so that it has a good char-flavor. It is dressed, with pickle, onion, tomatoes and herbs. It is flavorful and the chicken is not dried out. There are a lot of things to try on their menu. If I can't get Ms T to go, I'm sure KT will meet me there occasionally. There have been several restaurants in this location over the past ten years or so. I hope that Dinar can succeed.

I took a gander at the menu and decided on the grilled chicken rice bowl and a small piece of the pistachio baklava all to go. It wasn't long until my food was ready and off I went. Since I was hungry, I figured I'd try the baklava to hold me over until I got home. To my surprise, it was freezing cold! I've never had cold baklava in my life, so suffice to say it was a bit unsettling. Since I was focusing on how cold it was, I couldn't even tell you if it was actually good. Since the baklava wasn't hitting, I was really hoping the bowl would but unfortunately, that, too, came up short. There was a garlic sauce on top but it did absolutely nothing for the bowl. I think the bowl lacked flavor and was disappointing considering how good it looks in all the pictures. While my first experience wasn't the best, I'd be willing to give them another shot but it won't be anytime soon.
