Cava the first two times I went were packed and took forever. There's no sense of urgency but yes the food is great. Came back a few more times and it got a little better. Recently they stopped having pita chips which the whole point of what I look forward to when coming here. It's a must have for me. I can understand kitchen issues but it's been over 2 weeks with no eta in sight. That's not including others things they haven't had in the amount of time. Make me not want to come back until they are back. read more

Absolutely love this place! I was a loyal customer of Rice Mediterranean for years, but this spot has completely won me over. I ordered a bowl loaded with all the toppings I wanted, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The balsamic date vinaigrette was absolutely incredible. I was lucky enough to get the last order of fried pita, and it was the perfect addition to my meal. The cucumber mint drink was also so refreshing--not overly sweet, just the right balance. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Kendall, Florida

I really like Cava. This new location falls a little short. Portions are very small and food isn't as tasty as some other locations I've tried. I usually order for takeout and they have been out of some items by 6 pm on the weekdays recently. However I will say the service is quick and the restaurant is clean. read more

Cava has become one of my go to spots for a healthy, delicious meal. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and I love how customizable the bowls are. Every bite is packed with flavor and the dressings really tie everything together. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and service is always quick and efficient. If you're looking for fresh Mediterranean food that never disappoints, I highly recommend CAVA. read more

Prices are very misleading today they had a salmon next to the big picture the price. Bowl or Pita $ 11.55 because it was my first time I told the girl just like the picture. The only thing she told me was that the guacamole was extra. I said no. My bill was 20.00 dollars. Go figure. For a fast food joint is not worth it. Next time I go to la fogata next door. read more

CAVA IS WORTH IT!!! Delicious mediterranean custom bowls. Prices start at $11.55 and increase depending if you get selected meats and avocado. Unlimited toppings, rice, and lentils FYI ^.^ Since it was opening day we waiting close to 45 minutes but definitely worth it. Once the crowds die down more we will be back. The food was fresh, lots of flavor, and staff were very friendly. The ambience was modern and clean. Parking was a bit of a mission but that's normal for the weekend since this shopping center gets pretty packed. Highly recommend to anyone! ^.^ read more

I wish there was a 3.5 star rating. I literally just finished eating my first meal from Cava and wanted to write this while my impression is fresh. I had a lot of high hopes for CAVA and was very excited for their opening. I ordered via the app. I selected a 12:15 pm pickup time. It was ready at 12:07. I selected 12:15 for a reason, as I knew I wouldn't be there till a little after and wanted it as fresh as possible. But ok. No worries. They were being efficient and I can't fault them for that. Anyway, presentation left a lot to be desired. It looked so sloppy and all thrown together. Unappealing and disappointing. I was hoping to be able to try each dip separately and gauge their flavor profiles, but it was all one big bowl of slop, so I have no idea what any individual thing tasted like. The bowl was also only half filled. The portion felt skimpy and disappointing. I wonder if since I ordered on the app they did such a sloppy, skimpy job. Maybe they would have made it with more care if it had been ordered in person. Bowl was DRENCHED in dressing. This may have partly been my fault as I made modifications to my bowl and added tahini dressing in addition to the Greek dressing to comes with. I expected a drizzle of each- as that's what it specifically stated on the app, "Drizzle on Top"- but looks like it was poured on heavy in the corner. Since it was all slopped together I decided to just mix it all up and go for it, but my goodness- the amount of dressing was a lot, even for me- and I love a saucy dish- so that's saying a lot. The overall flavor was good- bursting with delicious flavor. But a bit salty and perhaps since it was just too over sauced, it was too strong. I will def try them again, as I love Mediterranean food and they are very close to me- and next time I will ask for the dressings on the side and I think that will help a lot. read more

CAVA - Steak harrisa - Mediterranean Near Me - Kendall, Florida

First time visiting. It opened recently, so as expected, it was busy and the line to order reached the door. That's fine, because it gave us extra time to review the menu. While waiting in line though, I did notice that empty tables were extremely dirty, with garbage on the floor. I didn't see any staff wiping down tables between customers. In fact I saw customers cleaning their own tables. Finally got to order and the staff was very helpful and explained the options to us. The main menu is high up above, so once you get to the point where you actually order, it's hard to see again. Would be helpful to maybe have smaller menu displays at the counters. I loved all the options for toppings and sauces. The food was delicious, and the portion was big enough that I could not finish my bowl. I got the steak harissa and my wife got the harissa avocado bowl, which came with spicy chicken that was delicious. We look forward to going back and trying different options. read more

Ooooo I been waiting for this one!!!! My bowl was: Arugula and white rice, braised lamb and spicy lamb meatballs, and a bunch of toppings. I had been waiting for cava to open for the longest so when i found out it was finally open i was SUPER excited. I went one of the first days it opened so naturally the line was vvvvery long, I didnt mind waiting this day of course but would never wait that long for it again. The bowl was delicious!! The lamb was amazing, flavorful, tender just perfect. The spicy lamb meatballs were a great pair with everything i got. The pita chips were okay, a bit oily, i'd probably prefer the classic pita over the cooked ones. overall definitely will come back again when the hype goes down to not wait such an insane line read more

After months of waiting for this place to open, the food was pretty good, everything tasted very fresh and the Honey Harissa Chicken was delicious with a little bit of a peppery kick to it, service was a little on the slower side but I'm assuming since they just recently opened that everyone's just getting the hang of things. Ambiance is very nice and it has a very retro vibe to it as well. I really enjoyed the beverage selection that they have here as well. read more

Tried CAVA for the first time, wanted to see what the hype was all about. I waited in line over 45 min. In my opinion it's not worth the hype. They ran out of pita chips and the tahini dressing. I personally don't like that they place the greens in the bowl first (bottom) and the add the warm rice on top it wilts the greens. Since I'm plant-based I opted for the falafel. But a fan at all they're hard, tiny and chunky with whole pieces of chickpeas in it. The staff isn't very informed on what food items contain dairy or egg. I know it just opened and they're extremely busy but they definitely not prepared for the massive crowds. This was on a Saturday at 6:30pm, finally sat down with my food at 7:23pm. Overall it will be a while before I go back and give it a try again. read more

Tried CAVA recently and I can definitely see why it's been trending. The food overall is fresh and full of flavor. You honestly don't even need to load up on sauces to enjoy it, which says a lot for a "healthy" spot. That said, they do have a great variety of sauces if you want to mix things up. The pita was a standout. Super soft and really delicious. As for proteins, the honey chicken is easily the move here. On the flip side, the steak was pretty disappointing. Bland and tough, not something I'd order again. Be prepared for a crowd. The place was packed, and online orders were running over an hour behind. Parking is also a headache, which doesn't help the experience. Prices are fair for what you get, and the food is genuinely tasty. Despite a few downsides, it makes sense why this place is so popular right now. read more

Dinner great. The 1.25 oz of raw dough, not appreciated for $4.00. Do not recommend desserts. read more

Cava is suppose to be the Mediterranean version of Chipotle's and they are opening at a rapid speed in Miami. Since I am a big fan of Mediterranean cuisine we decided to pick up some bowls this past weekend. Here you have two options create bowls or a wrap and we went with two bowls. The base here is starts with lentils or basmati rice and then you pick all types of spreads such as hummus and fresh vegetables. The proteins includes steak, chicken, lamb meatballs, falafels, and baked salmon. The lamb meatballs were the juiciest and tastiest protein I had in a while. The salmon was glazed in a sweet sauce and it was very moist and flavorful. I topped my two bowls with a green sauce called Skhug which had garlic base. For the sides we ordered their pita chips which were perfectly baked while still having a good chewy texture. For dessert we tried both their brookie and chocolate chip cookie topped with sea salt, great way to end our meal. read more

First time having it and it was great. The only sad part is that the cashier didn't offer me a drink. But hey beggars can't be choosers right. Anyways best food I've had. I'll come back when I'm off work. Also the ambiance is great. read more

CAVA - This looks good, though I wish the cashier would've kindly asked me if I wanted a drink. But no sweats. First time and here we go Lol - Mediterranean Near Me - Kendall, Florida

Food is OK. The service was Ok. The restaurant was clean.. However, this is the second time that I visit this location and pay over $15 for an empty bowl. The girl literally sprinkled a few arugula leaves and a spoon of rice in the bowl. No exaggeration! Clearly this is something taught by management. . I thought Chipotle was bad but this place is definitely worse. Next time I'm in the mood for Mediterranean food, I'll just go to RICE Mediterranean Kitchen. read more

The food here is excellent. I will repeat. The steak and rice is very good. The staff is excellent and it's at a great location in Town & Country Mall. read more

The food is fresh, excellent and relatively close to my house. The service is good and price not bad.

I was so excited for CAVA to finally open in Miami after loving it in New York, but this visit was a bit of a mixed bag. The main issue was that the hot elements of the food just weren't hot when served. On top of that, several toppings, especially the olives were incredibly salty, and the pita chips were a bit disappointing, dry, and cold because they were all laid out. I know how good CAVA can be, so I'm hoping these are just grand opening jitters. I'll definitely give them another chance next time! read more

Well I came in today I'm a vegetarian and they had no more vegetables. Some other ladies were complaining about having to wait for 15 minutes for their food. While ordering I just got white rice and then I didn't know we could only choose 3 sides when I wanted one more she said it would cost more I said of course no worries... she asked me three times if I wanted it on the side or on top I told her on top..... then when it came to the vegetables they had none left. The kitchen said it would be around 8 minutes.... That vegetables take the longest to cook. I left. Disappointing. After waiting in line and going through the process. Not sure if it's truly worth it. Looks pretty in side. read more

The food at Kava is of very good quality and healthy, but above all the attention of the person who served me, Douglas was very kind and helped me with his recommendations to make the best bowl. read more

Great fresh food with nice atmosphere. Highly recommend harissa chicken with a lemonade.

Food is honestly phenomenal. Better than many places. But the wait is honestly horrible. It's been opened for more than a month already. You will minimally spend 30 minutes in the line , every time no matter the time. They're extremely under staffed , on top of that the staff don't even know what they're doing. I had a line cook help the cashier..... Many people leave after waiting only 15 , and many complain they won't be coming again. It's faster waiting the 30 minute wait from ordering online then making the line. read more

Steak was bland, looks seasoned but doesn't taste like anything. Everything else was okay.

I had a really good experience at CAVA, the food was fresh and tasted great, and the whole place felt clean and organized; I especially want to shout out Sara P, who was super patient and helpful when I couldn't figure out how to pay, walking me through it without making it awkward and making the whole visit way better. read more
