    This CAVA is located in a large plaza with several restaurants, a Whole Foods, and an AMC. It is a casual spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I stopped by on a Monday afternoon and there were a few people in line and dining in. The guy who helped me was kind and took the time to explain the different options and toppings. I built my own bowl with rice and greens as the base and added chicken, cucumbers, corn, and pickled onions. Everything was really good and I will definitely stop by again!

    The chipotle of Mediterranean food and it was so good. It's basically a byob(owl) and I tried their salmon this time around and it's probably a new favorite.

    Came in during lunch a couple of days ago, so the line was through the store took at least 20 minutes to even be able to order my food. Once we got to the front to order the man at the first area was sooo rude!!! If we changed anything or added anything or asked question he would roll his eyes or give us attitude I understand it was lunch rush and maybe he got rude customers, but he shouldn't have been taking it out on any other customers I probably would not be back any time soon Food is delicious, but not sure it's worth the wait and attitude of staff.

    I've been to the Cava in the village but it had been a while so I wasn't really brushed up on how to order. Went to this location thinking it would be as simple as chipotle based on what I remember. Instead I was inundated with so many confusing options and the employee telling me this was extra, that was extra when I tried to add things. When I wanted brown rice on a pita, he told me it was extra and I said the menu wasn't very explanatory on that one. He sarcastically said "if you look at all the curated pitas, none of them have rice". As if I'm expected to make that connection! That impatient tone was an immediate put off. Then when I was deciding on the meat he just looked at me with a face that said "hurry up dude". Employees should be patient when customers are new and/or have questions. Wife and I ordered two bowls and side of pita chips and it came out to $36. I get eating healthy is more expensive but geez. Maybe I sound like a noob but ordering food shouldn't be this complicated and expensive. IF I come back, I'll just order online so that the price is transparent and I don't deal with employee attitude/rush. Caveat: This review is based on price/service and not on the food - which I'm sure is fine - or the location - which was fine and clean. Your food could be the best on earth but if your employees are rude, it's always one star.

    1/3/2026 - This CAVA is situated at The Vineyards at Porter Ranch. Stop by here for a drink. The Cucumber Mint Lime is okay, and one staff told me that cane suger is added to the lime juice. I wish there would be a nutrition label on the display for each drink at the drink station. . I like the Jasmine tea better, which has a tea flavor and no sugar added, meaning a healthy drink. Although the CAVA does not provide a complimentary FiWi, you can use "The Vineyards Guest" free WiFi whose signal is strong at the middle area, but weak at the edge area. A free parking is available in front of the store.

    I love going to Cava for a quick and healthy lunch! This location is clean and efficient and Chris and Daniel always give me the best service! Even when the food bar is low on items, they're always more than happy to restock for me. Food is always fresh and tastes great, and I've always left super satisfied. Thank you CAVA Porter Ranch for the yummy eats :)

    Another good experience here at Cava. Best service given to my best friend and I by Chris, thank you Cava Porter Ranch. Food was fresh & he was so friendly! Daniel also built my bowl to perfection with all the toppings. I wouldn't trust going to another Cava

    Custom Salad Bowl

    I had such a great experience at CAVA. The staff was genuinely so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in--it really made the whole experience even better. The food is amazing--everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. My favorite is the harissa chicken, it's so good and has the perfect amount of spice. You can really customize your bowl exactly how you like it, which I love. Definitely one of those spots I'll keep coming back to, not just for the food but for the great service too.

    A delicious symphony of bold, complex Mediterranean flavors in a bowl of goodness! Cava is not quite fast food, but I'd gladly wait in line. If you've been to restaurants like Chipotle, you'll be familiar with the build-your-ingredients flow, and it's just great to have Mediterranean cuisine with roots from Tunisia and Greece that offers refreshing flavors like the delicious, earthy - and optionally spicy - dips like Harissa, garlic chicken, along with mainstays like falafel,, hummus, and tzatziki. My favorite here is the Steak + Harissa Bowl. I do swap it out for chicken sometimes as part of the Build You Own option (it's also cheaper than getting Steak). This bowl consists of the protein, Crazy Feta (spicy) and feta cheese, red pepper hummus, tomatos and onions, cucumber, cabbage stew, brown rice (I swap this out for Saffron Rice), greens, and Harissa vinaigrette. I also love getting a side of pita chips as well for an extra kick of flavors. One bite is all it takes to convince me that this is one of my favorite gotos for quick, casual, hearty, delicious meal. It may be packed with deliciousness, but it doesn't feel overly heavy or overladden with grease or fat.

    Greek Salad
    Analiea M.

    Recently tried Cava for the first time and ever since I've been a regular. The food is amazing, I love that you can make you own it if you're a first timer you can choose from their selection of wraps and bowl. My go to is the Greek salad with no olives, a side of pita chips and an extra side of tzatziki sauce. The ambiance here relaxed and gives a casual fast food vibe. The quality is great, always fresh and super flavorful. It is a little pricey though, the salad with a side of pita chips was about $18 with tax, and no drink. Great flavor and quality, just wish it was a little more local to me and affordable. The service is good but can also get a little slow at this location.

    I've been to a lot of Cava locations, but the team at this one really stood out. Emilio and Jocelyn made the experience genuinely great. Emilio prepared our bowls quickly and with care, and Jocelyn was super friendly at checkout, making sure we had everything we needed before we left. The food, as always, was fresh and flavorful. I got a bowl with grilled chicken, saffron basmati rice, roasted veggies, and crazy feta -- so good. Everything was perfectly portioned and tasted amazing. Beyond the food, it was the service that made this visit memorable. Both Emilio and Jocelyn were warm, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell they care about the customer experience and take pride in what they do. Highly recommend this location for both the food and the people.

    Build your own, I usually get chicken or steak and then the works for toppings!
    Tom S.

    Great location, commands a decent line (15-20 minute wait) still think it's worth it though. CAVA has a special knack for making relatively healthy food taste delicious! All the workers were wonderful and from what I saw treated everyone very well here! So when is CAVA coming to the Bay Area? :)

    This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while! Our favorite bite was the duck hummus…read more It had a nice kick to it and it was so flavorful, and it came with this super fluffy, very hot pita. I also really enjoyed the brightness of the crudo, and the grilled oyster mushrooms or a must. And for someone that doesn't really like lamb, I thought the rack of lambs was actually pretty good and tender. And if you have room for dessert, definitely get the baked Alaska. It is so fresh, fruity, and bright! Surface is fantastic. Our waiter was able to preempt our every need and brought out the dessert menu and each of the courses before we asked. It is also such a gorgeous place with hanging pothos from the high ceilings!

Bavel has been at the top of our list of places we've all wanted to try, so we were very excited to finally make it happen. Walking in, the space is beautiful and feels very elevated while still having that open-concept feel. There are cute plants and vines hanging from the ceiling and an open kitchen where you can see everything happening. The lighting was interesting though. Our table was lit very brightly, while some of the other tables looked much more dimly lit and intimate. Our server was great, and the sommelier was wonderful as well. We went with wine pairings throughout our meal, starting with a splash of sparkling white wine. HUMMUS DUCK 'NDUJA (tahini, parsley, cilantro, sumac, blistered pita)10/10. This was DELICIOUS. The texture and flavors were everything. SILKY smooth hummus with that fatty, deep flavor from the duck 'nduja. My goodness, I would like to drink it. The warm pita that came with it was pillowy soft and perfect for scooping everything up. Amazing dish. I would order this every single time, hands down. DRY AGED TROUT CRUDO (coconut citrus broth, charred chill & onion, mandarinquat, turmeric ginger oil, kaffir lime) 8/10. Crudo was yummy with the coconut citrus sauce. Tangy, a little sweet, herby, zesty, with the fattiness of the fish. But I didn't taste anything especially different even if it was dry aged. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER (vegetable curry sauce, rose pickled beets, garam masala, horseradish, cilantro)7.5/10. This dish was good, but nothing spectacular compared to everything else we had. The flavors were there, but overall it tasted a little more muted in comparison to the rest of the meal. GRILLED OCTOPUS (skordalia potatoes, broccoli, lamb XO, dill, lemon, olive oil)9/10. Loved! SO TENDER. I've had plenty of octopus that ends up chewy or overcooked, so I really appreciated how perfectly this was cooked. ROMANO BEAN TEMPURA (cashew cardamom cream, tomato date chutney, black garlic aioli, smoked habanero)8/10. The sauces were SO good with the tempura beans. The batter was very light and crispy, while the beans themselves were cooked until just tender enough. Such a good bite in terms of both texture and flavor. SLOW ROASTED LAMB NECK SHAWARMA (tahini, ajika, pickled vegetables, carob molasses, laffa)10/10. AMAZING DISH. The meat literally fell off the bone. I already love the flavor of lamb, and this one was just chef's kiss. The tangy pickled vegetables paired with the rich lamb and tahini worked so well together and made for the perfect bite. 10/10 would recommend if you like lamb and have people to share it with! 22OZ BONELESS MARGARET RIVER RIBEYE (fermented mushroom cream, marinated cucumbers, dill)9.5/10. This was cooked SO WELL. The fermented mushroom cream was an amazing sauce to pair with the steak. There are a lot of rich, fatty elements here, so the marinated cucumbers were perfect for breaking everything up and balancing the bite. One of my biggest takeaways from the entire meal: DO NOT SKIP THE SAUCES. Every sauce, condiment, and side that came with the dishes felt intentional and elevated the flavors exponentially. 10/10 sauce situation going on at Bavel. For dessert: STRAWBERRY SUMAC & SWEET CHEESE PASTRY (pistachio ice cream, sheep's milk ricotta, cured sumac)9/10. I'm not a huge sweets person, but this really hit the spot. I do love a good pastry, and the ricotta was just sweet enough without being too sweet, which in my eyes makes for a perfect dessert. NOUGAT ICE CREAM BAR (dark pecan caramel, chocolate butter cake, chocolate shell)9/10. Another great dessert. Loved the chocolate, the deep caramel flavor, and the nuttiness from the pecan. Great textures too, although the chocolate shell made it a little difficult to cut and share! Honestly, I want to come back just for the hummus. Everything was delicious, the wine pairings were great, portions were generous enough for sharing, and the service was wonderful. Bavel is such a lovely spot for an elevated dining experience, whether you're coming with a group or for a date night. Loved our experience here. Thanks for a great meal, Bavel!
