    The options at Cava are bountiful! If you want to eat healthy and lose weight this is the place for you. The service was nice and fast. The food is fresh for the price it isn't a bad deal. I recommend!

    The teas and juices say they're made in house. I tried the Blueberry Lavender, Cucumber Mint Lime, and the Strawberry Citrus.

    First time visiting and I'm so mad I haven't tried this place before! I've driven past it a hundred times but I thought it was coffee lol. So I've been buckling down on my diet and trying to make healthier food choices when I'm out and about. I typed in healthy into Yelp and Cava was one of the first options with stellar reviews. I can completely see why. I ordered the Harissa Chicken Avocado bowl with no pickled onions. Luis took my ordered and asked me some customization questions on my bowl. So, mind you, I picked this bowl because the board said it was the most popular, it doesn't have red meat, and I have zero clue what I'm doing. So Luis figures out I don't know what my options even are and he spends time letting me know what choices I have at each station and his personal favorites. He even showed me the drink station and which ones are popular and everything. He was so thorough and welcoming. It was amazing. Of course, the food has to be good too, right? At this point, the customer service was so incredible I wasn't sure what I would write if I hated the food. Lucky not the case! Everything was so delicious and fresh and just flavorful. I'm looking forward to next time and trying some other options, like the roasted vegetables (Luis's recommendation) and the lentils.

    First time trying out this Cava location. Much like their IPO, this is a chain fast casual shop that has risen in value since inception and is actually holding ground; future growth may be limited in certain aspects but there are a lot more locations now and its following the Chipotle / Sweetgreen / Leaf and Grain model. Ordering is much like Chipotle; Cava has a few ready made options and I chose the lamb and avocado option. Pricing is between the $12-$16 range from what I saw, which is definitely above the Chipotle menu. I opted out of pickled onions but despite not being a Mediterranean food fan, the bowl tasted pretty good after mixing everything up. The fried pita chips on the side are a bit salty and greasy so I wouldn't recommend those.

    Cava is always a 10/10 for me. The food is so delicious. Today I did a build your own bowl with braised lamb, spinach, lentils, basmati rice, tomatoes, onions and a side of the fried pita chips. This place is always clean, portion sizes are large and all of the to go ware is eco friendly. I love that. The meals are phenomenal and their specialty drinks are really good. I got a cucumber, lemon, strawberry lavender mix. Service is fast and buffet style so unless the line is long you're really in and out. This is a constant go to!

    I mixed everything and it tasted great.

    I ordered a Harissa Avacado bowl Togo from this place because I know that their bowls come well prepared and seasoned. They did an outstanding job on the taste and favor of the bowl but the areas that need room for improvement would be their Togo. The signs and even the way it's advertised is very misleading. They have an an entire area that is allegedly dedicated to Togo but it's not. I mean the sign says Pick Up and had al the Togo utensils, napkins straws and even CAVA bags for you to put your Togo order in. There is even an order or two sitting in that area for those who ordered Togo to grab. But not all Togo orders are placed in the Togo order pickup section. Instead, they made you wait about 5-10 min to go grab an unsuspecting employee and ask for your Togo order. You can see your Togo order sitting on the counter right in front of the chefs window with your name on it and everything and they do this as a standard practice. I asked...."do those who place Togo (pick up as the app calls them) orders just need to come to the front and ask for them instead assuming they would be in the pickup order shelf? The employee says yes, unfortunately you have to come to the front and request your pickup order, we don't put them on the pickup order shelf. So, pro tip, a lot 5-10 extra minutes of waiting before you are able to ask for your pickup order. lmao because they troll The restaurant is clean tho and there is plenty of free parking out front. The lines are typically pretty long during lunch but whether you order in or Togo, you will end up waiting the same amount of time. I would recommend you go after work.

    Tried for the first time and got the bowl with rice and lamb -- it was delicious. The variety of toppings really takes it up a notch. Staff was super friendly, and the place was very clean. Definitely coming back!

    Great food and experience. Must try. Well seasoned and flavor combos are . Would recommend 10/10. Service is excellent. Team members are well versed in each dressing.

    I finally understand the Cava hype now. I mean I always knew it was like Chipotle but for Mediterranean food, which I enjoy. But actually going here and ordering a bowl? Mind-blown. Literally so many options to choose from. Step 1: Pick a greens. The 'SplendidGreens' has the most variety: chicory, endive, romaine, escarole, endive & radicchio. Effortless to get a great balance Step 2: Pick a grain. I love love love the saffron basmati rice, so amazingly fragrant! Step 3: Choose 3 spreads. This is where they give you 3 mini scoops of the flavor bombs. There's tzatziki, hummus, feta, harissa, red pepper hummus, and eggplant. Whichever you choose, HIGHLY recommend the harissa, it's packed with flavor and spice. Step 4: Pick a main, aka your protein. For the vegetarians, they have falafel and roasted veggies. For the meat lovers, they got lamb yo! Step 5: Add ALL the toppings. Seriously, all of them. They'll let you! I'm not gonna list them all but the corn, fiery broccoli, and pickled onions are BOMB. Step 6: Dressing. This is where you go ham on the Mediterranean-specific stuff, the yogurt dill, the tahini, the skhug (peppers and cilantro), harissa. Oh, the preserved lemon is niceee. The portion size is pretty good, you'll definitely be full at ~$11. Their homemade drinks are fantastic as well, not ridiculously sweet (just add sugar to taste, for all yall Texas sweet tea drinkers). Oh yeah, sign up for their rewards program, I think you have to spend $88 within 6 months to get the $8 rewards, but considering how many Cavas there are in Houston and the price point, you can bet I'm switching from Chipotle to Cava, it's my new fava-orite fast-casual spot!

    Harissa avocado enjoyed outside!

    I love this place! You can customize your own food or pick from their crafted menu, either way it's bound to be delicious! The service is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean! Maybe next time though you might enjoy their patio area!!

    Will update this review this Monday as we are having a small office gathering here. Look forward to eating their Mediterranean styled fast food.

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!

Established back in 1977, this Greek café has grown from a humble walk‑up window into a full‑fledged neighborhood institution, beloved for its hearty Mediterranean comfort food and lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere. The Montrose location stays bustling from lunch through late night, drawing in everyone from families to night‑owls to longtime regulars who've been coming here for decades. What keeps people returning is simple: the food hits. Diners consistently praise the authentic Greek flavors, especially the gyro plates -- a blend of beef and lamb shaved from the spit, tucked into warm, fresh pita, and finished with cool, garlicky tzatziki. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and the pricing stays reasonable, making it one of the best value spots in the neighborhood. Your gyro arrives stacked, your fries come hot, and your plate feels like it was built by someone who actually wants you to leave full. The menu is huge, but the classics shine brightest. The Greek salad is crisp and refreshing, loaded with feta, olives, tomatoes, and their famous dressing. Service here is fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of counter‑style operation where the staff keeps things moving without losing the warmth that makes the place feel welcoming. Guests frequently mention how upbeat and helpful the team is, even during rush hours. The vibe is lively but never chaotic: families grabbing dinner, couples sharing mezze plates, and regulars chatting with staff like old friends. It's casual, energetic, and unmistakably Montrose. One thing that sets Niko Niko's apart is its deep Houston history. The Fetokakis family has run the restaurant for nearly half a century, maintaining a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality that helped the café earn multiple Houston Press awards over the years -- from Best Pork Chops to Best Family‑Owned Restaurant. Even as the city has changed around it, Niko Niko's has stayed true to its roots: hearty food, Greek hospitality, and a community‑driven spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick gyro, sitting down for a full spread, or stopping by for dessert after a night out, Niko Niko's delivers exactly what a neighborhood staple should: great food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the experience feels like Houston -- diverse, warm, and full of character. If you're in Montrose and craving Greek comfort done right, this spot remains one of the city's most reliable pleasures.
