This is a filthy serving line. You could make someone sick.
Lawrence B.

I love to eat at Cava but this location needs management. I can understand the serving line being unkept for a little while if you're busy. But, when there's no one in the restaurant and you can't take a moment to reset and clean up behind yourselves. Management needs to step in and guide the ship. Anyway I immediately walked out.

Veggie bowl with all the veggies/humus and falafel
Chantay C.

The veggie bowl here is really great and Omg the pita chips is fried bread that comes out CRUNCHY.. YUM. My bowl consisted of brown rice, lentils, super greens and all the veggies. I like that this place has cucumber lime drink. Service was fast today especially being a Saturday.

Harissa Avocado

My sister and I got the Harissa Avocado Bowl and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and all the additions are fresh. We also got a side of the pita chips, which are seriously addicting. I love that they're always made fresh! The seating is nice, the space is always clean, and the ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. Every time we visit, it's never too crowded, the service is quick, and the staff is super friendly. CAVA has definitely become one of our go-to spots.

Build your own bowl
Meadow S.

Delicious, healthy, and filling. Very similar to chipotle. My mother and I both really enjoyed own food, would say it's better than the majority of fast food, at least health wise. The ambiance was casual but nice and clean, same as most fast food restaurants in nice areas. Only complaint was the person who served us was rather pissed off, I'm not sure what her problem was but she was not a happy camper. The rest of the people there were nice though.

Grilled and Harissa Honey chicken pita.
Dwayne A.

This may be fast food, but it is packed with a flavor explosion. The mix of seasonings in everything is so delicious. The service is fast and very helpful with recommendations. I bought a pita, but the grain bowls looked equally delicious. I can easily see us coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Wow! Just WOW. If you are in need of a fresh lunch or dinner option, I highly recommend checking out Cava. They are a bit on the pricey end. Two bowls, a small drink, and a large drink set me back about $35. However! Totally worth it. Cava is like the Mediterranean version of Chipotle. They offer pre-made bowls, or create your own. You can choose multiple bases, including salad greens, rice, or pita. Several protein options include flavored chicken, steak, or lamb. Each bowl comes with dips like hummus, baboonish, or tzatziki. And, of course, the endless amount of fresh chopped veggies as toppings. The star of the show was Cava's signature fresh juices. I returned several times to get refills on their cucumber mint juice. I mean, talk about refreshing!

This was an excellent dining experience, as we recently visited this Lebanese restaurant. It is…read moreconveniently located on Devine street in Columbia, SC and they have a private parking lot it is a popular restaurant, so parking can be challenging. There is also available street parking as well. Upon entering this restaurant, we were quickly seated and greeted by a very professional staff member. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. Their menu offers plenty of delicious entrees, and they also have daily specials. We placed our order after checking out their menu, and we truly enjoyed everything we tasted. I'm positive that we will return for another visit soon, and I'd strongly recommend this restaurant for friends and family members.

The seating was comfortable, had tons of cushions so it was definitely a vibe. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. Came to the table the right amount of times and was pleasant as anyone can ever be. The food was on point! The gyro meat was seasoned to perfection. I opted to swap the rice out for their veggies and it was a great call. There were bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in there which complimented the meat perfectly. Their tzatziki is homemade and the perfect contrast to the dish. I'll definitely be back for lunch or dinner soon!

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

I've only tasted their pimento cheese at the festival and the original is phenomenal! I'd purchase…read moreagain. Friendly staff! I'd definitely check out their restaurant/deli soon!

I think one of the best Mediterranean restaurants Columbia has to offer. I've been a frequent diner…read moreof this place for years while I resided downtown, but now that I'm a little ways out, it's a treat to dine here, but still really enjoy their food nonetheless. I've always gone with and recommend the chicken kebab. It comes with about 4-5 pieces of grilled chicken, yellow rice, vegetables, and side of tzatziki sauce. The grilled flavor of the chicken just mixes so well with the rice, so having that clean "chicken & rice" meal while maintaining the awesome flavors. The menu is pretty diverse, despite Mediterranean being their speciality. They offer other American dishes like burgers or even pizza; never tried them though, but options are there to diversify. Right now due to Ramadan, their hours are adjusted for dining in, so they stop seating people around 7:30pm. To go orders are the only option; not a big deal for me though. I highly recommend people to try this place out if they haven't; seriously a solid 4 star dining establishment!

The owner brought me something to try that he was eating for dinner, and I don't remember what it was, but it was made with quinoa and was a bit spicy! Whatever it was, it was delicious... Since I came in by myself, and it was an "off hour," the owner spoke with me about all kinds of things going on in the restaurant and what was coming up in the future, including that they are adding Indian food! He was charming, sweet, and very nice! He really made my day! The food is delicious, and the staff are very sweet... Excellent dinner experience!
