CAVA was tasty, fresh, and very filling. The customer service was friendly, and I had a great experience overall. I would definitely come back. The only downside was that some of the chicken had chewy fatty pieces, so I had to pick around them. Aside from that, everything else was delicious. read more

I was so excited when Cava opened closer to home because I used to drive quite a distance to another location. The food is fresh, flavorful, and a healthier option. My only complaint is the inconsistency. I can order the exact same bowl, but it varies depending on who makes it. Some days it's full, fresh, and has every ingredient. Other days the portions are much smaller and ingredients are missing. I enjoy the food, but the excitement is fading. I hope they can improve the consistency because that's what keeps customers coming back. read more

CAVA has become a new go to lunch spot. There are a plethora of food options near O'Hare and this is a stand out. Mediterranean food is versatile and easy. Chicken or beef with vegetables and a starch, but flavorful and tasty. Prices reasonable, the portions border on the larger side. The pita chips are fun but filling. The app is good to use if you're planning to repeat here as you'll earn points /rewards. read more

CAVA - Harissa Avocado bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

This was my first time at CAVA. We were visiting the area and thought we would try it. The restaurant was easy to locate with plenty of free parking. It wasn't busy for a summer night on a Saturday so we didn't have to wait at all. The dining room was quiet and clean. The menu is simple and easy to understand. The food was absolutely delicious! My suggestion is only to open a location in the Louisville area! read more

I recently visited CAVA and honestly, it did not disappoint. The whole experience felt fresh from the ingredients to the atmosphere. I love how customizable everything is, and the staff was super patient and helpful while I decided what to get. I ended up building a bowl, and everything tasted really clean and flavorful. The portions were generous, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. The dips and spreads (especially the hummus) were a standout for me. The place itself was clean, modern, and had a really welcoming vibe. Even during a busy time, the line moved quickly and the staff kept things running smoothly. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for something healthy but still satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

CAVA - Chicken and rice bowl with everything. SOO good - Mediterranean Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Finally gave CAVA a shot and it did not disappoint. The portion is great and the staff is so helpful at the location near the airport. This is one of the newer locations so it's super clean and there's ample parking. As much as I was skeptical of the items I chose, the flavors came together in the end and made for a delicious lunch. I like that it's a step closer to a healthier option when on the go. read more

I saw a few TikTok vids regarding this business so I decided to give them a try tonight. It was a great experience. I love the exterior and interior decor. It was bright, clean and inviting. A nice lady took my order; similar set up like Chipotle and Naf Naf Grill except their food had flavor. I ordered the honey chicken which was divine plus toppings = a satisfied belly but healthy. I ordered the steak for my other half who loved it. I also ordered pita chips which were delicious. I had the blueberry lavender which was heavenly. Great experience, can't wait to be back. Good work guys!!! read more

Mediocre food wrapped in a premium-priced package. That doesn't sound good. It wasn't. I'm not dissing the service - it was absolutely SPOT ON. I'm not even dissing the ambiance -it was exactly what I'd expected. But oh lord. The food. The food. If you're going to position yourself as a meditteranean-style Chipotle (let's face it- that's EXACTLY what they are), then you'd best have the flavors and at least a modicum of authenticity to pull it off. And Cava - Wall Street's fast-growing little darling of the moment - is just awful. Let's count some of the ways. 1- salad mix. It was veggies, sure. But dry and not flavorful in any substantive way. 2 - rice. Oh god. I'm spoiled by either great Jasmine rice in authentic (there's that word again) Chinese restaurants or even Japanese rice. This was just awful American-style rice. No flavor, not hardly any moisture, and no wonder we Americans don't like rice when it's procured and cooked with substandard stock. Eek. 3 - Tahnini - I had the Harissa Avocado w/Chicken bowl. No issues with the chicken or spicy sauce. Yay. But good lord. The rest of the bowl let down both. The tahini had no flavor or texture. Really? Ok- first off, I am not a hater of restaurants. But I really dislike restaurants that are trendy with no substance to back up the Insta- and TikTokkers of the world who've taken it on themselves - likely with overt support from Cava Corporate - to make this a Hot Spot. Hot it is not. And they'll fall from grace when the social media hackers are finished shilling for this undeserving place. If they're still around in 10 years? Great. They'd best have gotten their stuff together and - for that matter- lowered prices to match the mediocre ingredients and flavors used in their bowls. read more
