    Salad and grain bowl

    I ordered a digital drive through make your own salad and grain bowl. The lentils were undercooked and the portion size unacceptable! I couldn't eat the salad because the lentils were like rocks. I enjoyed this location when they opened., however it's not the same.

    This is now my fast food go to spot. $11 for a healthy bowl of food that fills you up?? No more chipotle for me lol. It's so flavorful and fresh. If you wana go a lil unhealthy you can also get the pita chips, a lil too salty but so good. Place is clean and spacious. Staff are quick and friendly. I got the super greens/spinach, lentils, eggplant dip, red pepper hummus, chicken, pickled onion, cucumber+tomato, balsamic vinaigrette, and garlic dressing or Greek vinaigrette.

    Let me start off by saying I love CAVA so I will always give it 5 stars. The customer service is always good. The problem with today's meal though was that they ran out of feta and corn (which has never happened before) and I forgot to get falafel. I usually get half grilled chicken and half falafel. To me, each ingredient makes a difference to every bite. Like the corn adds a sweetness to the meal and the falafel tastes like a yummy potato .... I also forgot the peta bread they gave me. It got lost in the sauce after I occupied the cashiers attention with not putting a lid on the bowl so I could take a picture and asking for a bag to take it to go. Overall, CAVA is a healthy alternative and the food always tastes great!

    This is the worst cava location in the area. The staff is unfriendly, they skimp you with portions, and the flavor is LACKING!

    The team is not attentive to the guest nor the quality of the food. Once inside, lobby was dirty and lobe was messy.

My mom had shrimp kabab, I had beef kabab and dad had the veggie kabab. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Even desert was good. My mom loved her baklava and I had pudding cake.

The muhammara is so unique and addicting, if we didn't have a ton of food coming, I would eat 2 orders. For our entree, we split the family combo and ordered 6 add'l lamb chops because they are exceptional here. Cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned, these aren't the tiny chops you find at most places. These are huge, pork chop size and by far, the best entree on the menu. The family combo came with lamb chops, beef/chicken kababs, lamb/chicken adana, kofta, rice, salad, and more pita. With the exception of the overcooked beef kabab, all other meats were moist, tender, and really flavorful. Service was also very good on a busy dinner evening. Will return soon.

I would say this is more of a 3.5, rather than a 4 star review, continue reading ... The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and out, with blue lights throughout. We loved that! We sat outside and were happy that the patio area wasn't very hot and that the nice large umbrellas protected us from the sun and were lit up when it got dark. We started with Saganaki, which included pita. It was flambed table side and delicious, we all loved it. We also had Calamari, I don't eat it but husband and daughter really enjoyed it. For entrees, husband had the special (filet mignon w/crab cake and shrimp on top), that came with mash potatoes and veggies. The steak was good but undercooked, the crab cake was good. Daughter had the pasta, she didn't really love it. I had the lamb shank with orzo. I don't usually like lamb but it was very tender and didn't have the aftertaste that usually comes with lamb. The service was very good, waiter was very attentive, replenished waters often and made good suggestions. Although we liked the restaurant, we felt that as a Greek restaurant there should be more Greek styled pork, chicken dishes. We also felt that some items were overpriced, specialty dish was $75, rib eye was $68, lamb shank was $55, roasted chicken was $39, etc. We will not return for another dinner, but might consider going for lunch to get gyros and Saganaki.

For a couple of months my friend, who is of Turkish heritage and lives out in Germantown, wanted to meet me closer to my home to go to Cazbar. We went on Saturday, 9/6/25 for lunch (lunch prices are better as why I shot for lunch time). We walked in, and it was fancy Middle Eastern decor. Server was nice & efficient answering questions. I got their take on flatbread pizza called Lamb Pide. Wow, the lamb and pizza as a whole was amazing. My friend got some more expensive platter, which looked good. If I came back, I'd maybe get something like what he got. My friend (& me to a lesser extent) were cogitating on getting a dessert. I think me saying we ate a lot, it's extra calories, & prices are pretty high for dessert, ended up swaying him not to get dessert. Plus, there was a Greek festival and might get a baklava or other dessert there, which I did. Overall, my impression was wow, this place is impression, and I want to go with my girlfriend one of these days, maybe on a weekend before a movie at AMC Columbia or something.

It included a variety of mezze, followed by an entree featuring two types of chicken, two types of beef, shrimp, and salmon, and concluded with ​Baklava for dessert. The food was well-seasoned with generous portions. Additionally, the alcoholic beverages were fresh, creative, and strong, with a wide variety of options available. The only thing is that it was super loud and the belly dancing lasted approx 30 mins so if you make a resy during the allotted time you can easily miss it like we did. I would definitely give it another shot, arriving on time!
