    If you're craving healthy food that you can build your own bowl of, CAVA is the place for you. I wasn't a huge fan of what I got, but it could be because my options didn't mesh well together.

    Bowl with sauces & free pita

    Not sure what's going on at this Cava but the food seems to taste too salty now and most of the time the grilled veggies are too burnt to consume. Spoons used to be available but now it seems to always be out or hidden. Drink and tables are often dirty even when it's not too busy. Also, some servers are a bit stingy with the amount of items they put in the bowls. I'd like a full bowl. Therefore, I have decreased visits here, from a couple of times a week to maybe once or twice a month. At least the music is ok, outdoor seating available, and plenty of parking.

    Upon entry, this Cava is clean, spacious, and super fast. There's plenty of parking. When I went, I was the only one to order but the worker who helped me was so speedy. I kept having to ask her to go back so I can get a little more since their scoops are so small. I love Cava and their ingredients are super fresh. Cava is my go-to when I want a quick lunch or something that feels healthy. Just sad since I noticed they're barely generous with their portions.

    My partner and I recently heard about this Cava opening on Adams. I've never tried CAVA before since we don't have one in Santa Barbara but I was thoroughly impressed! The recently renovated the space and looks clean. The service was great since it was easily to pick up all of our orders and make any requests if needed. I got the garlicky chicken bowl with all of the free fixings while my partner got another bowl. It was very tasty, paired with their sauces and arugula, and their free side of pita. Overall, a great experience!

    Ordered online and went to pick up. Food was ready and we decided to eat in. Everything was so easy.

    Chipotle goes Mediterranean. Bowls, wraps, plates. Huge amount of choices should satisfy whatever you're craving. We came here recently and decided to go the "make your own" route. Choose a base (grains, greens, both), choose a main (various meats), choose toppings (they're all good), dips, and a dressing. Excellent. Fresh and portion size is hearty. And the food quality is solid, healthy. They also have preconceived bowls to choose from. Indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and helpful. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

    This is a brand new location for Cava. I went to check it out because it is my favorite fast food restaurant on the East coast. The locations here on the West coast are hit or miss. I think this location has potential once they work out the training for the staff and they get used to the fast pace. The lines were long when I was there but was happy that the portion sizes were good. They fill your bowl to the top here unlike other locations. Everything tastes just as good as I remembered. You can choose 3 dips out of 6-7 choices, you have a choice of protein (chicken is always fantastic) and the unlimited toppings. I always get all of them as they are all good. The salads taste fresh and crunchy. I don't even need the dressing with all the flavor from everything else. My only complaint is the lentils were very undercooked and thought I was chomping on sand at one point. This is in a busy plaza so it might take some time to find parking. But other than that, the food is just as good as the other locations!

    I came by this new location and picked up 2 bowls. 1/2 chicken and 1/2 steaks. Food 3/5 the rice was not cooked. The steak was a little dried. The chicken was good. Lemonade 5/5 very very good. Service 5/5 they are very helpful and friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    I would like to say this was the best Cava experience i have to date. I've eaten at long beach, la habra, Fullerton (close second). Although tonight's soft opening was comped, I would totally come back for the same experience again as a paid customer Staff were super nice and the GM was going around checking if everything was okay. I belive her name was Devonne, my memory isn't the best. She was welcoming and offered us those harissa chips. I gotta tell you, skip the pita chips and get these instead. The only downside to the experience was the 30 minutes to wait for the beef. (But I just got chicken instead) and the strawberry lemonade was our for refills. Overall, a 5 star first time experience at this location. Terrific food , terrific staff. There's a small patio and parking is in the shared lot with stater brothers. Love they kept the table clean after every patron.

    Forgot how great this place was. ________________________ Top 3's: - Fresh ingredients - Fast and friendly staff - Endless bowl options Low 3's: - Sauce calories add up quick - Limited indoor seating - Packed during prime time Overall: 4.7 Ambiance: 4.6 | Service: 4.6 | Value: 4.9 ________________________ This place feels clean and open. They have a cool garage-style door that they roll up in the summer that gives it an airy vie. Staff more fast here and keep the line flowing. My go-to bowl: splendid greens, saffron basmati rice, grilled chicken, all the free toppings, tzatziki, traditional hummus, roasted eggplants, lemon herb tahini, and Greek vinaigrette. The flavors are very savory and fresh here. Drinks are self-serve near the pickup station, perfect for tangy finish. A bowl is as cheap as 13 dollars too. So thats that... 10/10, I'm coming back to here forsure.

    I came to this location for a late lunch. Thank god I eat slowly because I almost got a full bite of PLASTIC SHRED. Please tell me what these are doing in my bowl. I cannot trust this location anymore due to the lack of quality control.

    A very refreshing meal!…read more We were the first customers in the door on Mother's Day, so there was no wait and food came out pretty quick. We ordered Feta Fries for an appetizer - they were perfectly seasoned and are a wonderful twist to just plain fries. For an entree I ordered a beef and lamb kabob with rice and potatoes. The kabobs are always good, but I personally am a huge fan of their potatoes - so fluffy and lemony! I finished with Tiramisu! It was the cherry on top to a perfect meal. Their mascarpone was fluffier than I'm used to (in a good way).... maybe they whipped it or something, anyways it was delicious! Our waitress, Izzy, was very attentive and super welcoming. Checked in on us frequently without suffocating us - the perfect amount of attention. Olive Pit has both indoor and outdoor seating - they do allow pets for outdoor seating I believe. It looks like they can probably fit around 50 guest (give or take), so I recommend a reservation.if possible. Ambiance was appropriate for Mediterranean style food. Love it! I'll definitely be coming back, thank you guys for the experience! I'll see yall there soon!

    As a Greek, I'm pretty picky when it comes to Greek food, and Ouzo & Feta absolutely delivered…read more Authentic Greek flavors are hard to find in California, but this place truly feels like a taste of home. The Shrimp Saganaki is a must, and the whole grilled Tsipoura was outstanding--fresh, perfectly cooked, and exactly how it should be. One of my favorite moments was when the owner came to our table and prepared the Shrimp Saganaki for us, mixing the feta and tomato sauce together and serving it over toasted bread. That simple gesture brought back memories of Greece, where hospitality isn't just part of the meal--it's part of the culture. The service was exceptional from start to finish. William is an absolute gem: attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The ambiance captures the warmth and charm of Greece, making the entire experience even more special. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing more family and friends. I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the menu. Efharistó for such a wonderful experience!

    (Finally getting around to writing a review for one of our favorites)…read more My cousin recommended this place a few years ago and we have been here several times ever since. We have tried the Greek fries and Greek salad as shared appetizers - the Greek fries are delicious covered in feta and a sauce that has an incredible tang and the Greek salad was fresh and the perfect compliment to everything else. For entrees - I always do the gyro plate and it is always amazing! The meat is tender and flavorful and it is plenty of food to have lunch the following day (especially with shared appetizers). You can pick 2 sides and their lemon potatoes are absolutely delicious! I've also had both the mixed vegetables and rice pilaf, both are good but the potatoes are my favorite. They also give you plenty of pita slices to go with the plates, but I usually need to request some more tzatziki (because it is the perfect compliment to the entire thing). Drinks here are also good, they have live music (live music may not be all nights, but they usually have it when I go), and the service is absolutely fabulous! I've never had a bad experience at Ouzo & Feta and it will continue to be a favorite of ours! It feels like an authentic Greek experience and makes me crave another visit to Greece
