I finally decided to give cava a real chance after being disappointed with sweetgreen lately. I don't know why I didn't try cava sooner because they're not even the same and offer different things. I ordered a make your own bowl with greens and grains, right rice, harissa, falafel, and other fixings. Really good and definitely enjoyed it, in fact, I think I'll have that for lunch today. read more

Working in Boston there are a million of these places around but this one is in Dedham and I will admit, I feel Cava's food is one of the best I've ever had when it comes to these Mediterranian places. First off their falafel was the best I've ever had. It actually had whole pieces of chickpeas in there so it wasn't this super fried hard golf ball tasting thing that most other places offer. In addition to the great tasting chickpea, all of their other options were very tasty too. I would totally ask my hubby to pick up a bowl for me and bring it home. With these spring and summer nights ahead of us, a fresh and healthy bowl of deliciousness is just what the doctor ordered!! Great job Cava AND the staff there was super helpful and not cranky like alot of other places can be. I asked about an item and the women grabbed a tiny spoon and gave me a taste - without even asking. I love that! Totally a place to stop by and grab a light and healthy meal. I couldn't even finish mine. It's quite large! read more

A friend described this to one of their friends as a Mediterranean Chipotle. I would call it more like a Mediterranean Subway. But not for sandwiches. You go and choose if you want a salad bowl or a pita. Then choose what sauces you want. A protein from the meats (or vegetarian options if you don't eat meat), then the salads, then if you want a drink or not. Similar to Subway. The quality is good but a little pricey and sometimes it can take a bit long for everything if what you want is being prepared as all their stuff is fresh. I would go back, but only if I'm not in a hurry for a movie. Your might not make it in time, so visit Only if you aren't constrained for time. read more

Nutritious and delicious CAVA hits all the nails on the head. Healthy and vibrant greens (choice either a kale mix or dark green mix) top it with seasoned brown rice (just a dollop to enhance the upcoming add-ons: hummus (spicy or regular) eggplant, tahini or choice from three others. Add some protein, lamb (meatballs or shredded) chicken, regular beef meatballs, falafel or roasted veggies, add on some salad toppings: cucumbers, feta cheese, onions etc- wait we are not done yet then top with a choice of six different sauces. The biggest bowl of healthy options and a free drink of it's your first time all for $11!!! read more

My first trip to Cava was a pleasure. The concept - Chipotle for Mediterranean food - has been described by other reviewers. I had a bowl with arugula and lentils, falafel, a spicy lime dressing, and three dipping sauces including a spicy feta and a more traditional hummus. While the dish had a lot of different flavors competing - perhaps not everyone's cup of tea - it was exactly what I hoped and a nutritious and filling dinner. Great first impression! read more

As I enter the place I feel modern ambiance and smell of harissa! And I already had good feeling about it. I selected Protein+salad bowl with black lentils, spring mix salad, hummus, eggplant, spicy feta and harissa chicken. I could taste lightly hot flavor of harissa in no way too hot, just perfect. The cilantro+jalapeño topping sauce was the same way- not hot at all. Overall this was a healthy bowl for $11; not bad for Boston standards. read more

I came here after months of a friend recommending it and me realizing it was in Dedham. It's a cute concept for Mediterranean food that you don't really see in other places. I got the grain bowl with brown basmati, half falafel and half lamb meatballs, with hummus, tahini, feta, and tatziki. Price wise, it was decent. Personally, I thought that the ratio of sauces to protein and rice was too much. The falafel and meatballs were pretty tiny and underwhelming (4 total). The meal was a bit salty for me, overall. (I've been told to try the chicken next time.) I really liked the seasonal teas they had for the same price as fountain drinks, and the place was relatively clean for having just opened for the day, except for the table I chose to sit at (womp - I just cleaned the crumbs off it myself) Next time, I might just go with a pita and see how that goes. read more

Today I really wanted to try their newest collab, the Sweetgreen x Fishwife Tuna Niçoise Salad, and it was fantastic! Tinned fish has become trendy and Fishwife does a lovely job balancing aesthetics with great taste. This salad was the perfect balance of freshness & heartiness. The only downside was it was expensive (about $19 after tax) so it better be a damn good salad (which it was). Service-wise it's better to order pickup via the app for convenience. Oftentimes if we ask the staff for anything they seem to get annoyed.

We walked into a bright, modern space with a clean, minimalist design that matches the brand's focus on fresh, healthy food. The layout is efficient, with the assembly line running along the counter and the dining area set up with a mix of communal tables and smaller seating. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, the kind of place that works well for a quick lunch or a grab-and-go meal, with a steady flow of customers moving through the line throughout the day. The biggest appeal is the ingredient quality and variety. Their bowls combine greens, grains, proteins, vegetables, and dressings in a way that keeps the meals from feeling repetitive. We ordered the Kale Caesar, which is one of the more popular options, and found the flavors well balanced and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The kale held up well against the dressing, and the parmesan and croutons added enough texture to keep the bowl interesting. The seasonal bowls also offer variety, and the ability to customize ingredients means you can swap or remove certain toppings depending on your preference. The menu feels well curated, with enough options to keep repeat visits interesting. The portions are generally satisfying, especially when you add protein or extras like avocado. We noticed that the base bowls are generous on their own, but the add-ons add extra richness and make the meal feel more substantial. The pricing is a little higher compared to other fast-casual chains, but the meals usually feel more balanced and made with fresher ingredients, which justifies the cost for a healthier meal option. The produce is consistently fresh, and the preparation feels intentional rather than rushed. The ordering process is simple with both in-store and app options, though wait times can vary during busy hours. We ordered at the counter and found the line moved at a steady pace, with the staff working efficiently to keep the flow moving. The restaurant itself is usually clean and works well for a quick lunch or takeout, with the seating area staying tidy even during peak times. The staff are friendly and helpful, answering questions about the menu and offering suggestions without pressure. Sweetgreen is a reliable choice for a convenient healthy meal. It is more expensive than a typical fast-food option, but the customizable bowls, fresh ingredients, and lighter menu make it a good alternative when you want something different from the usual fast-casual offerings. The balance of flavors and the quality of the ingredients keep it as a go-to option for a meal that feels both nourishing and satisfying.

Pricing is a bit on the higher end for the quality for sure, out of 7 dishes between a group of 4 and 2 were for sure pre-made items only 2 dishes were ok. As for the food itself, I can say it's more on a "cleaner" side vs the extra flavor and oily texture you'd get from a fast food chain. The ramen broth was subtle, the noodle perfect, but the flavor wasn't there. The Chef special roll was way over priced for what you get, especially only having 1 piece being the best out of the "assorted" fish. The hibachi wasn't good in my opinion, good portion though. Would not order that again. The chicken teriyaki flavor was great, chicken texture was more like grilled on a pan vs over flame. Loved the veggies though. The gyoza and takoyaki were good as well as the strawberry mochi icecream. Wish they were more friendly though, making us feel like we were inconvenient for them was a major turn off.

The food quality is above average, the execution is high, and the service is attentive. The space is clean and efficient, but lacks warmth. We visited the day after a large 1-2 foot snowstorm, and Ochi was one of the only restaurants open in town. I've eaten at Ochi 4x since it opened in 2023, although there's a lot more to explore on its expansive and prolific menu. On this visit, we tried a Tuna Poke Bowl, a Salmon Pome Bowl, a Katsu Ramen, a Mango Salad, and a Mochi desert. Regarding the Tuna Poke Bowl, Ochi took the liberty of substituting more expensive fatty tuna (Toro), for regular tuna (Maguro), a generous and appreciated gift as a thanks for dining on a very slow night due to the storm. Hence, I would recommend everything we tried: the Mango Salad, any of the Sushi, Sashimi and Maki choices, the Poke bowls and Ramen (especially the Spicy Miso Ramen, the chicken Katsu Ramen, and any of the traditional pork or beef Ramen choices). In addition, the deserts are especially worth trying, and are all well orchestrated. You can't really go wrong at Ochi.

Have you ever fallen victim to a struggling Nigerian prince down on his luck? Separately and on an unrelated note, have you ever thought that a quick service restaurant could be your spirit animal, soulmate, and go-to public notary? Well, I have and that restaurant is, you guessed it, CAVA at Legacy Place. We've been going steady since roughly 2015. I recognize that it's not a good look that I can't remember when we first started our saucy and non-GMO based relationship but please please please don't give me detention or an in school suspension BUT please please please do prove I'm right... and try CAVA at Legacy Place. All I know is that before CAVA decided to IPO in an effort to dominate the QSR category across this beautiful nation we call the United States of America, little old me wrote to them (hello@cava.com) to tell anyone who would listen that I'd want nothing more than to be given the honor of becoming a brand ambassador. While I was informed that CAVA did not have brand ambassadors, Julie (no last name provided because she was playing hard to get but also could have been a legal thing) wrote me a handwritten thank you note that would make both William Shakespeare and will.i.am weak in their respective knees. Additionally, I was sent a laptop sleeve that I still use to this day and it is quite the conversation starter. Example conversation below. Person: Why do you have a CAVA laptop sleeve? Me: Woah. Why don't you buy me dinner first. Preferably at CAVA at Legacy Place. In any case, I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with CAVA. If they ever decide to sell apparel, you'll know where to find me during New York Fashion Week and if you don't, let me tell you. I'll be at the CAVA location closest to Spring Studios in Soho. That's 350 Hudson Street in New York, New York. The city so nice it's infested with mice. Be sure to comment, like, and subscribe. Yours truly, Shark Boy and CAVA Girl read more

CAVA is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant at Legacy Place in Dedham that makes it easy to grab a fresh, customizable meal without sacrificing flavor. The bright, modern space follows an assembly-line format where you can build your own bowl or pita, and everything is prepared right in front of you. Whether you're stopping by while shopping or looking for a quick lunch or dinner, the process is efficient and straightforward. I went with a build-your-own bowl, which is easily the best part of the experience. Starting with a base of saffron basmati rice or greens, there are plenty of ways to customize your meal with spreads like Crazy Feta, tzatziki, and red pepper hummus before choosing from proteins such as harissa honey chicken, grilled steak, braised lamb, or crispy falafel. I also liked being able to finish it with fresh toppings like cucumber tomato salad, pickled onions, and one of their house-made dressings, which brought everything together with plenty of flavor. The menu also offers curated bowls and pitas if you would rather not build your own, along with pita chips, dips, and refreshing house-made drinks. Using the mobile app for pickup makes the experience even more convenient, especially during the lunch and dinner rush when the line can get longer. The service was friendly and kept the line moving at a steady pace, even during a busy visit. Seating inside can fill up quickly, but there is additional outdoor seating around Legacy Place that makes it easy to enjoy your meal when the weather is nice. Overall, CAVA is a reliable choice for a quick Mediterranean meal with fresh ingredients and plenty of customization. The combination of flavorful food, efficient service, and a convenient location makes it a spot I would gladly return to whenever I am in the area. read more

CAVA in Dedham's Legacy Place is a real gem when it comes to Middle-Eastern cuisine. If you're a fan of variety and quality, this place has got you covered with a wide array of mouthwatering dips, grains, veggies, and additional ingredients. First, let's talk about the dips - their traditional hummus is creamy and packed with flavor, the tzatziki is fresh and tangy, and the harissa is a fiery delight for spice enthusiasts. You can't go wrong with any of them. As for grains, their fluffy basmati rice and nutty quinoa provide a hearty and nutritious base for your bowl. And when it comes to veggies, they offer a colorful selection - from crisp cucumbers to roasted red peppers and a variety of leafy greens. Now, let's not forget the star of the show - the proteins. Whether you're into tender falafel, juicy grilled chicken, or perfectly seasoned lamb, CAVA has something for everyone. And the cherry on top? Those extras like pickled onions, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives add an extra punch to your meal. But, I gotta dock a star for a couple of drawbacks. The delivery cost can be a bit steep, which might make you think twice about ordering in. Also, parking can be a bit of a hassle for those who prefer to drive, especially during peak hours. Overall, CAVA in Dedham Legacy Place is a fantastic spot for Middle-Eastern cuisine enthusiasts. The range of options and quality ingredients will keep you coming back for more. Just be prepared to pay a bit extra for delivery and maybe consider alternative transportation to avoid the parking headache. read more

Cava in Dedham at legacy place is by far not only my favorite cava to eat at, but is also my favorite mediterranean Restaurant I've ever been too. Not only is the food always fresh, delicious and served quickly and efficiently - The customer services their is on another level. Every trip I go to cava Dedham I am greeted by a Kind employee with knowledge on what my meal of the day is going to be. They help with what sauces or Hummus will go with my chicken or lamb or tell me me what vegetables will match up with my meal. And don't get me wrong, I have gotten a bowl with almost everything in it and it was absolutely delicious still. The flavors on the food they provide are wonderful. The entire staff has always been very nice to me and taking care of me but instead particular there are a few employees that I want to shout out for how much they have gone above and beyond for me and my family who order roughly 4 family meals a month on top of the the weekly or 2 times a week I go myself. Danelil, Edwina, and yulonda Are the best customer service in the business and always make sure I am happily fed and on my way quickly. I Cannot say enough about this cava location. They are top notch and If you haven't tried it out, you need to, and I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

I don't have enough words to express how great this place is. There are a million healthy combinations of bowls, salads and wraps and all of them delicious. The line is never long but it does take a little time because each order is so custom. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and I'd say each one is a bit of a brand ambassador. Unlike Sweetgreen which is in the same section of Legacy Place, these men and women seem to love and endorse their food. They'll tell you their favorites and make recommendations for you based on what they think you'll like as well. It can be a little overwhelming to have so many options, but it's worth powering through the first time in line. Next time will be easier! Wish they had more locations but I'd want the staff to be exactly the same! read more

Although it is fairly new at Legacy Place, Cava has become one of my favorite places to come and eat. The workers are always so kind and have a great sense of humor that is very welcoming. The service is amazing and so is the food. Legacy place has had many restaurants come in and out; however, Cava seems to be holding strong. With so many places doing the custom bowl style food it's hard to stand out, but I believe Cava is top dog in that category. Great place to go with friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, family, pretty much anyone you would like to enjoy a gourmet meal with for not that steep of a price. Also the QUANTITY you get is unmatched. 5 stars for you cava, you go cava. read more

Was walking around legacy place looking for a place to eat and came across Cava . The food was great and the atmosphere was also great . The gentleman who walked me thru the line took his time with me and answered all my stupid questions. He suggested the lamb meatballs that went great with the harissa he suggested before that . I think he may of been corporate, he had a New York shirt on instead of Boston . It's the best Tuesday Lunch I've had in forever . I'll definitely be spreading the work on Cava . read more

Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The restaurant itself looks clean, has plenty of space to dine in, and parking is easy, no complaints there. Now, the food... I should've known something was off when I had to drive with the windows down because of the smell. It was an overwhelming mix of vinegar and hot sauce. My boyfriend ordered sliders with cheese fries. The tenders were completely overloaded with seasoning -- to the point where it was excessive and unpleasant. He chose the "mild" spice level, and there was no heat at all. I ordered the chicken sandwich (medium) with cheese fries. The sandwich itself had potential, but the single tender packed with heavy, overpowering seasoning ruined it. It honestly ended up being some of the worst chicken I've ever had. I also ordered a reaper tender (which requires signing a waiver), and I regret it. Yes, it's hot, but beyond that, it's just not good. It tastes like the chicken was rolled in every spice possible without any balance. I love spicy food and was excited to try it, but this was just unpleasant. The portions, especially the cheese fries, were small for the price. I spent about $50 for two meals, two drinks, and one extra tender, which didn't feel worth it at all. The slush drinks (similar to Minute Maid) were also disappointing -- they tasted sour, almost like the machine hadn't been properly cleaned. Overall, I'd rate this a 3/10, and those points are entirely for the customer service from Kimani and Lisa. If I could get a refund, I would.

I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect. Between 12 and 1 this place was absolutely jamming, with barely a seat to spare, which should tell you something. Not to mention I heard the staff greet many people by name. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing my partner. She loves Greek food and this place deserves a proper visit.

Just good, honest food. I like that. The person at the cashier? Fantastic. Very attentive, very friendly. Great hospitality. Now the menu. Lots of options. My son wanted something simple, a cheeseburger with ketchup. Classic kid move. They made it exactly how he wanted it and let me tell you... he demolished that burger. Completely gone. Me? I saw the calzones and I said, that's what we're doing today. Ordered the small calzone and wow. Delicious. Very flavorful, very filling, and honestly the size was impressive. If that's the small, I can't even imagine the large. I demolished it. The place itself looked clean, felt clean, which is always important. Ambience is laid back. Nothing crazy, just comfortable. Exactly the kind of spot you want when you're hungry and want good food without the fuss. Only one small thing. And I mean small. I wish they gave a little more marinara sauce with the calzone. That sauce is good, and the calzone deserves more of it. But overall? Great experience. Great food. Good people. I definitely recommend Maria's Kitchen and I will absolutely be back. If you're in the area and hungry, go check it out. Trust me on this one.
