    Cava is similar to many other restaurants where you get to choose what you want in your bowl. Think Mediterranean Chipotle, only fresher, brighter, and packed with flavors that actually wake up your taste buds. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a colorful spread of grains, greens, proteins, and toppings that beg to be mixed and matched. The reason I decided to stop here for lunch on this particular Saturday is because of the limited of time protein they were offering "pomegranate-glazed salmon". My base was a mix of spinach and arugula. The toppings are what set Cava apart: tangy pickled onions, creamy hummus, and their legendary crazy feta that gives just the right kick. The dressings seal the deal. I recommend the harissa if you're in the mood for heat. Service was quick and friendlish, I ordered my meal ahead to go. When I walked inside the guy at the counter handed me my bag and I left. The space itself had that clean, modern vibe that makes for a cute lunch date. They also have outdoor seating available. My only issue with this visit is that none of the 3 hummus that was supposed to be in my bowl was there when I arrived home. Other than the missing part of my bowl, everything tasted crisp and vibrant. My meal was delicious. Definitely a go-to when you want take-out with healthy vibes. Just make sure if you order online you check your food before you leave.

    Kiara, was so nice, the customer service here was really good. I will say the brown and white rice at this location, the best I've had at any cava. It was fresh and soft. The other locations are doing it completely wrong. I was in the area and craving cava so I got my usual half and half rice bowl. Normally, those bowls last me 2-3 meals. I finished this one before making it home. Only thing is their pita was awful. I'm used to it being made fresh to order. Theirs was cold and hard as a rock. I threw it away. The young ladies serving also have a lighter hand than other locations and are stingy when adding toppings. I thought I was at Chipotle for a 2nd. Can't have it all.

    I've heard so many good things about Cava and always see them on TikTok so i couldn't wait to try it! They are located next door to my new chiropractor so i stopped in after. Here's where the positive turned negative. Walked in and was not greeted, there was a guy standing off to the side of the register, a girl at the register, and a girl making the bowls. All 3 had attitudes. I walked up and said hi, girl replied " what type of base do you want?" Ummm this is my first time here no hello or nothing ?! They are worst then chipotle when it comes to the toppings, i had to ask for extra corn and she gave me half a scoop of that already tiny spoon. Majority of everything else was sold out. I won't be returning back to this location. Oh, Pita chips, fire. Bowl: romaine, saffron rice, tzatziki, crazy feta, grilled steak, harissa honey chicken, corn, pickled onions, cucumber, tomato and cucumber, feta, pita crisps, garlic dressing, and tahini Caesar. 2 bags of pita chips.

    Chicken and rice bowl

    There wasn't a Youtube girly I watched that wasn't obsessed with Cava. I heard about it all the time. My issue was that I assumed because Cava replaced all of the Zoe's Kitchens here in GA, that they were the same. A few years ago, I got food poisoning from a Zoe's Kitchen so I was afraid to try Cava. After googling, I learned that while Cava did acquire Zoe's Kitchen, they were different. I decided to try it. OMG, I'm now obsessed with Cava too. To be fair, all I've tried is the chicken and rice bowl and I add extra hummus and garlic dressing. The grilled chicken is seasoned well and they give decent portions. I usually get extra chicken in my bowls and it's actually EXTRA chicken unlike Chipotle whose "extra" meat is what the regular portion should've been. One day, I'll try something different but for now, I'm content with my chicken and rice bowl.

    The location of the CAVA I'm referring to.

    This review isn't even about the food. It's about the service-- when I tell you the level of unprofessionalism and care was present lol it's ridiculous. I didn't get the guy's name, but this is April 22nd on a Wednesday between the hours of 7:30 and 8:00pm. Tall light skin yella fella. So focused on having fun personal conversations rather than the customers in front of him. Almost put the wrong thing in the lady's order in front of me. They were even whispering to themselves about how distracted he was. Then when I got to the front, no acknowledgment. He booted me to the side to service a young lady who got there after me. It seemed like he was maybe attracted to the girl because she got way better treatment than we did lol I mean trying to goo goo gah gah her baby and all. Then when he got to me, he literally just stood in front of me.... No "I'm sorry ma'am, what toppings or dressing"? Bump the "I'm sorry" he didn't say a word like "what do you want" even smh....... It be your own folk. Yes, I said it. We stay complaining about outsiders but can't even set an example in house. It's a shame. I've been to way better Cava's that's FOR SURE. They need retraining.

    DO NOT EAT HERE. Save your money. They were out of bowls, and I paid full price for half the food. The staff is inexperienced, and we were told the manager does not order enough supplies and food. They were out of mostly everything. It's really just a disaster in there honey. Go spend your money somewhere else.

    Lunch buddy adventure! First time ever in a Cava. Won't be the last. Food was excellent and flavorful. Staff was friendly and courteous.. think that chicken sandwich place. And the place was clean. The only negative comment was my buddy said she would get the dressing on the side because she felt they used too much dressing. That is still a 5.

    Greek Salad with corn, broccoli slaw, pickled onion, lentils, falafel and the dill and garlic sauces, sample of lamb meat
    Christian D.

    My friend and I were standing outside the car tossing different food places in the air to eat at after our workout. A lady in the car next to us told us to try Cava and the way she described it we were sold. I ordered the Greek salad with the falafels. I through on a few toppings, one being pita strips. Those things were so stale I dang near broke a tooth so I just picked them all out and went back to enjoying my food. I asked for a sample of the lamb meat which was fire by the way. I put the leftover sample right on top of my bowl! The guy helping us was very nice and took his time explaining how things were. It was a very clean and spacious spot loved that! I almost forgot, the Cucumber Mint refresher was BOMB!! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was outta respect for my almost cracked tooth lol

    lol it was cute or whatever. Heard about this place from TikTok. It suppose to be better then chipotle but it's a big no for me then I was saying stuff like do yall got queso and they was like this ain't chipotle im like dang my bad I'm just asking. I just wanted some cheese idk what's this powder stuff they put on my bowl oh and the proportions please don't get me started this was $16! It was more lettuce then anything

    D'Jillisser K.

    Cava is solid in my books! A variety of spices and proteins to choose from along with the refreshments. The service from the team was also in flow, especially since it was rush hour. Cava is perfect for a quick bite and or to meet up with friends. If you are looking for healthier alternative, give it a try!

    Chicken + Rice

    I just had surgery and can't drive so I ordered uber eats.uber eats only refunded me $5. Most of the ingredients in my bowl were missing including items I asked for extra. I got chicken rice and lettuce and cucumbers. They didn't even make the standard rice bowl, and why is it in this weird bowl!!! And the rice is under cooked so I cant even eat what they did send! I'm starving and irritated!!!!!

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.

    Absolutely Incredible - Best Meal I've Had While Traveling!…read more I travel all over the country for work, and I can honestly say Delbar delivered one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment I sat down, my bartender Taz took exceptional care of me. I wasn't familiar with the menu, so I trusted her recommendations, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every single dish she chose was outstanding. I started with the fresh pita and hummus topped with the mushroom, shishito pepper, and egg addition. The pita was warm, fresh, and unlike anything I've had before. The hummus was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The chicken wings were phenomenal, perfectly grilled with incredible flavor and just the right amount of char. The highlight of the night was the lamb neck with the Polo Sefid. The lamb was unbelievably tender and flavorful, and paired with the saffron rice, it was one of the most memorable dishes I've ever eaten. What truly elevated the experience was Taz's service. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about the food. Her recommendations made the entire meal unforgettable. If I hadn't trusted her guidance, I would've missed out on an amazing culinary experience. Beyond the incredible food, Delbar has an atmosphere that is truly special. The entire restaurant feels warm, welcoming, and almost familial as if you're being welcomed into someone's home rather than simply dining out. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous, creating the perfect ambiance without feeling overly formal. The decor is tasteful and elegant, the bar area is stunning, and the dining room strikes a perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. Even the approach to the restaurant and the outdoor space are beautifully designed. Every detail feels intentional and contributes to an experience that is as memorable as the food itself. Delbar has officially become a must-visit anytime I'm in Atlanta. I'll absolutely be returning, and next time I'll be bringing family all the way from Reno, Nevada so they can experience it too. Thank you Taz! Thank you, Delbar, for an unforgettable evening!

They took the plate back and remade my meal, which I appreciated, but that was the extent of how the situation was handled. The eggplant parmesan itself was okay overall. The eggplant was a little tough, though that may have been because they were trying to get my replacement meal out quickly so I wasn't left watching my friends eat for too long.

The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.

My girlfriend has a very strict diet due to food sensitivities, so before ordering she specifically asked about the dough, bread, and flours used in the food.

Based on that information, she ordered the meal, but later had a reaction to the dough that was used. This was frustrating because the situation likely could have been avoided if we had been given accurate information about the ingredients from the beginning. We completely understand that not every restaurant can accommodate every dietary restriction, but being transparent about what is used in the food allows customers to make informed decisions for themselves. The food itself was good, which is why we're giving 3 stars, but the service on this particular issue left us disappointed. We hope the restaurant can do a better job of providing ingredient information when customers ask, especially for those with dietary restrictions or sensitivities.
