    Salad Bowl
    Sharonda D.

    Great Food, But Cleanliness and Service Are a Major Concern!!! I visited this restaurant for the first time about two weeks ago, and unfortunately, it was not a great dining experience, despite how good the food was. The concept of the restaurant is actually really appealing. It has a Chipotle-style, build-your-own ordering setup where you can choose a bowl or a wrap and customize it as you go. I ordered a salad bowl with brown cilantro rice, romaine lettuce, roasted vegetables, avocado, red pickled onions, pico de gallo, cucumbers, and Harissa Honey Chicken. My son got a pita wrap with brown cilantro rice, roasted corn, avocado, romaine lettuce, and the same Harissa Honey Chicken. We both genuinely enjoyed our meals--the flavors were fresh, balanced, and well-seasoned. I especially appreciated the option of white or brown rice, which not every fast-casual spot offers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But here's where things went downhill--the cleanliness of the dining room was unacceptable. The floors were sticky, and the tables and chairs were also sticky and covered with leftover food debris[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The kicker? We were the very first customers of the day, which tells me that the restaurant was not cleaned the night before and definitely wasn't cleaned that morning before opening. That's unacceptable and honestly quite concerning. On top of that, we were not greeted upon entering. Instead, the staff stared at us awkwardly, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. Customer service was minimal and lacked warmth or attentiveness. Ratings: Salad Bowl - 5/5 Pita Wrap - 5/5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience - 2/5 (dull, no music or energy)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness - 0/5[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer Service - 2/5 Final Thoughts: As much as I enjoyed the food, I'm deeply concerned about the lack of cleanliness and hospitality. If the dining room is that neglected, I can't help but question the sanitation in the kitchen. Sadly, I won't be returning--not even for takeout. I don't want to risk food poisoning. Visit at your own risk. The food might be delicious, but poor upkeep and cold customer service ruined the experience for me.

    I like the concept. Basically Mediterranean fast food where you have an assembly line to pick the items you want either in a bowl or pita (like Chipotle does). There are lots of choices and they do have suggested entrees as well. Staff is pleasant this time around but the very first time we came through I think the cashier may have been overwhelmed (I hope because that's the worst position to have if that's your CS attitude) but my daughter loves their falafel so we came back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating and has a clean look to the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Our family loves Cava. This place is far, but worth the drive. We have been to the new Cava in Hwy 6 and were disappointed. Here the service is much better with nice portion on the toppings.

    Was in the mood for a quick Mediterranean food lunch and my kids brought me here. It was like a chipotle style restaurant where you can choose your favorite ingredients. It was very good and it was simple. It was what I wanted. The service was quick so the line moved along nicely. I also thought the prices were a little higher than usual but everything everywhere is high. The lunch was delicious- in fact I forgot to take a picture BEFORE I ate, so you will see the leftovers I took home. It heated up well in the microwave later that night. The water came in a can and I loved it! Never seen that before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the bathroom is clean and I like that as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chipotle style but make it Mediterranean! For all the negativity reviews that you're reading about the food, it's probably because they didn't order correctly when building their own bowl. They do have bowls that have selected ingredients you can choose from or you can make your own. If you don't know what to get, select a bowl that's already "pre made". can't speak to the service since we ordered through Uber Eats but my husband and I both got the harissa chicken and then chose the veggies and dressing that we wanted. BOMB. 10/10.

    I ordered off of doordash around 4pm, and received my bowl around 5. I do live kind of far out so timing wasn't necessarily the issue. I ordered the grains and green bowl (with harissa chicken). I noticed I didn't receive any chicken nor the complimentary pita bread. I don't know if it was a honest mistake because it says grains and greens. However, there was still a requirement for protein.. AND it clearly says on the ticket to add harissa chicken. Also I know Cava has a menu, but I have never ordered off that menu. I've always gone with the build your own way. When I saw the option "grains and greens", I saw it as just the base of my order. Whenever I called doordash they gave me the option to replace this order, which I did. THEN a second bowl came in with the same issue. As someone who works in the service industry I feel as if it's common sense to check the ticket before sending out food.. Overall, this is the worst experience I have had with Cava. I've been waiting to eat since 4pm when I originally placed my order. It's 6:22pm now. So you can only imagine how irritated I am. I know doordash can be confusing sometimes. But this is still an employee issue that could've been prevented had the ticket been checked.

    Just so yelp knows, cava is using bots to spam the email of anyone who posts a negative review.  Let me know if you want a copy of the email

    we never got to the food, staff was hostile The lady at the counter was very rude we will not be going back

    I'm addicted ti the Greek Fajita dish and my sides if feeling healthy are the spinach with sliced…read moregarlic in fresh lemon and the Greek salad side. This is a large meal. All dinners come with a Greek garlic bread starter. I love their iced tea- fresh brewed and always good! The wine is Greek and seems a small bit pricey, but for the extra dollar or two it's worth it- Very delicious. Anything you get at Athena's is amazing so feel free to branch out on your choice. And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too! Say hello to Maria when you go, she loves to talk to her clients!

    First time here with my sister and husband. Very impressed with everything!…read moreHad the lamb shank with sautéed fresh spinach and garlic; everything made from scratch and cooked with Greek extra-virgin olive oil. Owner and chef, Maria, is very friendly, with high standards, not only for the food, but everything. Restaurant looked very clean and orderly. Enjoyed the big screen TV with authentic Greek singers and dancers. My sister had the trout and my husband had Gyro. We all had salads and enjoyed the made from scratch, delicious salad dressing. Will definitely be back regularly, and will also plan on getting to go order. My husband got a pound of Gyro meat to go, and it came with pita bread and Taziki sauce.

    I will preface my review by saying: I went here for a lunch break , and I took everything togo…read more I've heard great things about this place for a while.I just never tried it because mediterranean & buffet Didn't seem to go together at the time. BOY WAS I WRONG! There were so many diverse options of food to have from salads, to meat, to different breads & dessert.They even had banana pudding!! Needless to say, I was very surprised. They do have a price list for to go(it is by the pound for the most part) .So it's not just $18 you get what you want like with the dine in option. I was expecting my plates to be expensive.But it ended up coming out to adjust a little bit above the buffet price. And of course the food was delicious! I got so many things I can't name them all but I ended up getting Two salads(IDR the names) Khafta, gyro meat & hummus as well as grape leaves & falafel. My 2nd plate was for pita & garlic bread. Five stars , because this place exceeded my expectations in every aspect! This will be a regular spot for me!

    This is an excellent Mediterranean Buffet with ALL kinds of foods, desserts, drinks, and dates,…read morebreads, etc. . My sister in law really enjoyed the fresh dishes and cleanliness of this restaurant. We will definitely be back! I really liked the rice & veggies, chicken dishes, lasagna, pizza, and various fresh salads... Chick Pea was good & Greek salad, the chicken pasta was very good as well as the meatballs....Go get ya some!!! Yummy! We will try new foods next go round!

I came just after happy hour, and the dining room remained nearly full until I left. Maybe my favorite part of the whole experience was maybe the ambiance.

This plate comes with a small salad and plenty of yellow rice. I also sampled the Road to Damascus cocktail which was initially a little bitter, but got better tasting as I drank more. The restroom was modern, clean and dimly lit, with Mediterranean style lighting. I'd definitely return to try more dishes and maybe make it to the happy hour.
