    I stopped in here for takeout and I got the Greek grilled chicken salad and the Greek grilled chicken pita. We both enjoyed the meals, but later felt bloated and very full. I'm not sure if the food is clean and that's my big concern. The taste was good, but the feeling after was not good. I probably would be hesitant to go again.

    I came by CAVA - Edgewater for my post-workout meal. I used to go to the Paramus location, PERO... their service is basura, so I decided to go to this location instead. It opened a little over a year ago, so the interior is still new and shiny. There's plenty of available parking since it's in a large shopping outlet. I came past 9pm on Black Friday and I was worried that they would be out of a lot of items. I was pleasantly surprised because I was the only one in store and they were fully stocked! I opted for the Build-Your-Own Bowl option (~$12). My usual order is: brown rice, chicken, eggplant dip, tzatziki, crazy feta dip, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, feta cheese, pita crisps, olives, and Greek vinaigrette. The chicken was seasoned well and all of the ingredients tasted fresh. I go CRAZY for CAVA dips lol. The employee that made my bowl was very friendly as well. I wish the Paramus location could step up their game since they're much closer to me. I'll stick to coming to Edgewater from now on.

    10 for 10 - staff was amazing ! Line moved quickly but not rushing customers. Answered all questions and offered option if confused. Fresh full bowls. Manager even helping during a busy spout, not just sitting in the back. Had to ask for their names. Friendly-helpful-knowledgeable!! Shout out to Melissa and Yourois, great customer service!

    Food first of all was so good, I always customize my bowl with my mom and the options that they have are always fresh and taste good. The service is always good making sure that we have an amazing experience. The interior is nice and clean. Overall amazing, will come back again.

    Well staffed for grand opening

    On Saturday, I had to e pleasure of visiting Cava for the grand opening of its Edgewater location. This location is in the same plaza as the Target and Acme. They rang in the event with a Community Day. In addition to celebrating the opening of the restaurant, Cava also used this as a philanthropic opportunity. They were accepting and matching credit card donations up to $1000, with proceeds going to their local community partner Table to Table, New Jersey's first food rescue organization. At Saturday's event, we were able to sign up for a 15 minute pick up slot to pick up a free meal and drink. When we arrived there were employees by the door who greeted us and ushered us in. Surprisingly, there was no wait. They were very well staffed - at least 8 people were behind the counter. We got right on line and ordered our meals. We had the choice between a bowl and pita. I ordered a bowl with rice, honey chicken and cucumber tomato salad . You also get the Choice of a sauce, so I got tzatziki. I really liked the variety of options. The food seemed healthy but also flavorful. The chicken was spicier than I expected but still tasty. Overall, this was a pleasant experience and I'm grateful I was able to come in and try them out. Thank you for hosting this free event!

    Cava just opened in Edgewater. We went to try it. The place was clean with plenty of seating room. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Service was great - the people we met made an effort to answer questions and be of service. I would recommend trying the drinks - got a cucumber lemonade. It was very good. All the drinks were good. It was nice to be able to make my own bowl. I added rice, a protein and veggies. Was nice to have a tasty, well balanced meal without having to cook it. Cava has a 'fast food' feel to it but a nice option for a good, quick meal.

From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to make the evening special. The atmosphere was vibrant, yet elegant, perfect for a family and friends celebration in NYC. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. They gave us all the space we needed for our huge party and handled our larger group seamlessly and made both birthday guests feel truly celebrated. A special thank you to the team - specially to the owner, Val, who was great to deal with during the planning of this birthday dinner, Rangu, who is also the owner AND an awesome Bartender, and to Anna and Christian who were great and attentive servers! If you're looking for a restaurant in NYC for a special occasion, this place is a gem - great food, drinks, ambiance, & service!! Highly recommend!

    SO and I were in the neighborhood and stopped here for dinner. The establishment is very spacious…read moreand they also have outside seating when the weather allows. We arrived during happy hour and ordered a few drinks along with a dozen oysters...the drinks were cold and the oysters were fresh. We also ordered the chef's special salad and a seafood soup (special) for appetizers...both were great starters. For entrees, we shared the crab cake and the fish and chips both of which were very tasty. Bottom line, the food and service were excellent.

    Shalel is a beautiful space that really makes you feel transported out of the city. The interior is…read morewarm and inviting, and the whole experience feels a bit like an escape. Service was great, friendly and accommodating, even though we had a late reservation close to kitchen closing, which we really appreciated. The food was just as impressive, especially in both flavor and portion size. The baba ghanoush was delicious and tasted just like the ones I grew up eating. The mixed grill was a standout in terms of value, with tender, well-seasoned meats and a generous portion. The chicken tagine was equally satisfying, with moist chicken and vegetables that complemented everything nicely. We finished with the warm date tart, which was definitely on the sweeter side but perfect if you enjoy desserts like that. Overall, it's a great spot for flavorful food, large portions, and an amazing atmosphere.

    We loved our first experience at Shalel so much that we came back with the kids…read more Bad. Decision. This time, the service was suspiciously fast--like "Are we being gently rushed out?" fast. We were in and out in 45 minutes, and the food... well... let's just say it peaked during visit #1. Here's the rundown of what went from "yum" to "meh": - Shrimp with Garlic - No. Just no. It had a funky taste, and shrimp should never be described as "funky" unless they're dancing. - Chicken Tagine - Tasty, yes, but we got two pieces of chicken. Two. The last time , hubby and I got at least four. What happened? Budget cuts? Chicken shortage? - Dates - These were actually delicious. - Cucumber Drink - Last time it was refreshing. This time it was... chewy? I don't know, but beverages shouldn't require chewing. And with that, I think we're done here...
