    Steak + Harissa $15.75
    Erik G.

    What We Ordered: -Steak + Harissa $15.75 I'm a bit late to the party as this was my first time visiting Cava. The food was great, but service and systems in place were seriously lacking. I went here with a co-worker to pick up an order via the app. The order was placed with a pick-up time of 11:30 AM, but the food was not ready when we arrived at 11:32 AM. It wasn't ready until 11:55 AM. That's kind of ridiculous! My co-worker who orders regularly from Cava said the portion size seemed a bit light. Not to mention, they weren't busy inside. We saw countless people come in long after us and get their food to-go by waiting in line. Don't waste your time ordering ahead at this location!!

    Apparently my foot that is extremely disruptive and filthy and requires more attention than whether my order was made correctly
    Aisha H.

    I had an unnecessarily hostile and unprofessional experience at this CAVA location today. One that was entirely avoidable and created solely by the cashier's attitude. Whatever his name is, none of them have name tags on. My pickup order was said to be ready at 12:45. It was not, which generally I don't have an issue with. Because this location does not have a designated pickup area, I approached the front of the register BRIEFLY to inform the cashier I was there for a pickup before he even began speaking with the next customer. I made sure to be courteous and clear, and at no point did I attempt to cut the line or interrupt an active transaction. I just let him know real quick, which I'm glad I did because my order was being prepared after I entered, when it should have technically been ready. Despite that, he reacted as though my presence was somehow offensive and that I was being entitled?? Anyways, I stepped aside to wait, but the hostility continued. After walking from UCLA's campus with sciatica pain, I lightly rested my foot against the concrete wall. The same employee said, "Can you get your foot off my wall?" Your wall? Sorry I hope you're the owner if you're talking to me like that. At that point, it became obvious he was more interested in policing me than actually providing customer service. Care less about the wall and more about whether your customer's order is packaged properly. I'm paying for the food, not the quality of the wall. When my order was finally ready, nearly ten minutes late, he didn't call my name or speak to me directly. Instead, he used his finger to wordlessly gesture "come here," which felt condescending. I genuinely feel like this guy thought I was an LA piece of shit based on my appearance, but I'm literally just a commuter student tryna get lunch before my next class. To make matters worse, the order itself was handled carelessly: - The top wasn't closed properly. - The side of pita bread I requested was missing. If an order is delayed, the bare minimum should be accuracy, respect, and a functional lid. Instead, I received none of the above. If this cashier dislikes his job, that's his prerogative. But taking it out on paying customers, especially when I wasn't even tryna be rude is unprofessional, unnecessary, and reflects poorly on the entire establishment. And FYI throughout this whole process I did exactly what he told me (took my foot off the wall and remained silent despite HIS entitlement). I will not be returning to this location, and I'll gladly recommend the falafel spot in Westwood instead. And to the employee: if somehow you're reading this, CAVA cannot be paying you that much to have that much of a stick up your ass. I may not have said that in person but at least I said it on Yelp. Hhahaha ok bye thanks for anyone who listened to my rant (: Btw I put a picture of how my leg looked cuz damn didn't know that was a crime geez. (It was probably slightly higher up the time he called me out) but I just didn't wanna take a table away from someone who wanted to dine in.

    Stopped by for Cava takeout right before a museum date! The service was quick and good! There was only about a couple people in front of us in line. Generous portions, I got the salad with chicken, lemon herb tahini, and green harissa and it was super light and refreshing.So happy the quality is good here just as it is in their other locations! This location is in a walkable area near UCLA and has both indoor outdoor seating. It kind of gave the vibe of a place I can go to on a chill afternoon after a walk or workout! Parking was a bit tricky to find. I suggest parking at structure nearby, free and easier that way.

    Chicken and lamb meatballs

    The food is still healthy and delicious but there were issues with a lunch delivery order. That said, trim the Brussels sprouts. Stalks are for the garbage. I also had some clumps of saffron rice. The crazy feta was light and smooth as buttah. 1. Higher prices for delivery - WHY? The gas is a driver expense, food is the same and no extra packaging is utilized. 2. Difficulty communicating with my driver. When I called to coordinate a drop off spot he said he didn't speak English but at least said the color and make of his car. 3. Dressings were missing! I'm not picky. The app gives you the option to order your 2 kinds of dressing on the side. I got none. Do better!

    Oooo my goodness I cannot believe the treatment I got here at this cava in Westwood the the service the customer service was so so fantastical and I have been blessed by the beautiful worker ms india my lady I love you India

    Great quality food great service Cesar the manager does a great job Im confident in returning to eat here on the regular Jeremy is very helpful & nice thank you Cava Team

    Chicken Bowl
    Janet K.

    When I think of CAVA, it is something like a Mediterranean Chipotle. You can pick curated bowls or go ahead and do a customized bowl. The customized route is great to really elevate and incorporate different flavors into your bowl with many sauces and toppings to choose from! *Bowl is big. If you want less, opt for the Kid's Plate! * Ask for more Salad Mix as the proportion ratio of Salad Mix to Rice is I would say: 1:4. Food- 4.2/5 Portions are fantastic and you feel great eating the food meaning you are satiated and get delicious nutrients into your diet. The lower rating is due to the sodium/ salt content of the proteins (chicken and also tried a little of the Falafel) and rice. It's salty! People may love it but I do think the salt needs to be lowered as I am not shy from salt but I think it's overkill. Try eating the chicken itself without the concoction of flavors and you'll see what I mean. Service- 5/5 Fast and patient. You choose whatever sauces, toppings, and protein you want and you may need a minute or two to decide as everything sounds good. No hassles and the food service stations were all kept clean and fresh which is what we want to see. One female worker was enthusiastic and communicative getting the bowl started. The rest of the workers were unenthusiastic but did their jobs so no complaints there. Ambiance- 5/5. There's a security guard patrolling the restaurant which is nice for added security. Tables are clean. Utensils and napkins are stocked up. Water station is clean. Many UCLA students and people on-the-go to have a quick lunch here!Not ridiculously busy like USC's campus where the line is out the door and had to wait up to 30-45 minutes!

    Missing chicken on delivery order
    Madison D.

    I ordered delivery from this location. I paid extra for the harissa honey chicken, and they didn't put any chicken or any protein in my bowl whatsoever. I essentially paid over $20 for an over-sauced bowl of vegetables. Incredibly disappointing. They fill the portions up MUCH MORE when you go in person. Even without the missing chicken, the bowl seemed much less filled than normal. The photos show the bowl when I first opened it and suspected there was no protein, and again mixed around as I searched for chicken with no luck.

    Cava is such a comfort meal-- I love the mix of everything and it's always at a very affordable price. I highly recommend!

    A unfulfilled order
    Vito K.

    My family and I have eaten here a few times. The foods always good. Unfortunately, not always the best service as far as their employees remembering customers orders. Ordered dinner to go from them tonight, and once again the food was good yet we got an unfulfilled order. They need to get it together over here seriously.

    Ashley S.

    This was my first time trying CAVA since moving to LA and it won't be my last! My friends had described it as a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, and I think that description rings true. I tried a build your own bowl with SplendidGreens and saffron rice, half falafel half chicken for protein, and all the toppings. I will say that they did skimp on the protein a bit, I only got two falafel and a small scoop of chicken, so be warned about half orders. but with all the toppings the whole meal was pretty filling! I loved the roasted eggplant and crazy feta dips. All in all really great flavor. Service was quick, but this location was a little bit unkempt during dinner time.
