Cava has great customer service, fresh and flavorful food, and plenty of options definitely worth it.

I came here with my girlfriend for a quick bite. She's mentioned CAVA several times before, and I'll admit--I was a bit skeptical. With a layout and ordering process similar to Chipotle, I braced myself for another underwhelming experience. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised. The service was fast, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the space had a clean, modern vibe with stylish decor. It's casual, but thoughtfully put together. Overall Ratings: Restaurant: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Parking: Private lot Atmosphere: As mentioned, the setup is similar to Chipotle--build-your-own bowls or wraps--but the restaurant is well-maintained and clean. The open design and contemporary touches give it a more upscale feel than your typical fast-casual spot. Service: Staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful, making the ordering process smooth and stress-free. What We Ordered: -Harissa Avocado Bowl -Harissa Avocado with Pita Wrap Both were delicious--flavorful, fresh, and well-balanced. I was genuinely surprised by the quality, and we've already been back twice since. Final Thoughts: Highly recommend this location. I can't speak for other CAVA spots, but if they're anything like this one, I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Here's hoping the consistency holds across locations. read more

Wow! It has taken me way too long to visit Cava! Everything was fresh an delicious. They have so many choices and great options to choose from. The hummus, falafel, tzatziki, everyone was delicious. The drinks weren't as great as anticipated but good flavor combinations. I knocked off a star because for 2 people grabbing lunch it was just under $50! Not a place I'll visit often but it was yummy, especially the pita! read more

I've used mobile ordering several times and it's always horrible. The person at the register will make you wait and in many cases up to 15-20 mins. it's rude, food is cold, and a quick grabbing of a persons pick up order only takes a moment. wack! never coming back! read more

Took a mini road trip to DE and got hungry while shopping. We opted to try somewhere familiar for convenience and speed. There was a little line but it move quickly. The food was being replenished as we ordered so everything was fresh which is awesome and adds to the flavor. I always order a side of pita chips because they are quite literally the star of the show. I would visit this location anytime. Parking was plenty the service was great. They cared about the speed of the line and making sure you have exactly what you wanted. They even ask if you would like extra ingredients. They were not stingy with the portions at all. read more

The gal on the front line working the register (28Dec24@6P) is steal worthy for anyone needing an amazing personality who can multitask all while smiling! Foods great at Cava and ordering can be a bit overwhelming. Great healthyish meal. Cucumber-Mint drink is amazing. read more

CAVA - Greek Salad w/brown rice - Salad Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Michigan is supposed to be getting a Cava location and I can't wait. I ordered the Greek salad bowl which is full of vegetables, chicken, hummus and tzatziki. The service was fast and friendly and my food was delicious. They also have these pita chips, that cooks more accurately be called pita slices because they are big. Crispy buttery on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

Tasty as ever, but in what world does two meatballs count as a protein portion? I guess we've hit peak shrinkflation...

PLEASE clean the exhaust fan grill in the bathrooms. The vent is completely covered in skin flakes and doo-doo dust. Food is good though. read more

The food was DELICIOUS and not overly greasy, but rather very healthy. They had SO MANY options for me to choose from. And everyone was very kind, understanding, and helpful in explaining the food! It was lively and cozy despite being a Togo spot with outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. read more

Food was delicious! Excellent service from a girl named Aiyana! Nice atmosphere! Plenty of free parking g too!

First time ordering from Cava. Chicken, Arugula and Rice. The food that I could eat had good flavor. The ratio of rice to greens was off. Disappointed about getting burnt veggies. The desert brownie is very small. read more

Went to a Cava today in the Christiana Fashion Center Newark DE. Did not get what I ordered, the service was awful. Workers clearly did not want to be there, never even got a thank you. Place really needs a good cleaning. Was a great when first opened. Shame that it has gone down hill. read more

There's plenty of seating and other shops near this location. I got the Balsamic Date Chicken bowl but replaced it with the lamb brisket and lamb meatballs because it's zabiha/halal. I ended up paying double for extra protein because the server didn't hear me. To be honest, the lamb is way too gamey. The lamb meatballs are medium rare and the lamb brisket is super fatty. I appreciate that the lamb is from New Zealand, thus zabiha/halal but it's gamey and I won't be ordering it again. Although the bowl is nutrient dense, the portions/quantity was small. I honestly feel like Sweet Greens or Mezeh in KOP fills up the bowl more. read more

Zay was wonderful! The staff is always super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.

Cava provided a satisfying, quick, and healthy lunch while shopping at Christiana. Love how you can choose each item that goes into your customized bowl. Spicy items are marked, and you can do half and half of proteins and bases. There are several good juices - my favorite are the blueberry and the cucumber. All calories are marked. Service was exceedingly friendly despite a lunchtime rush. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience! Aiyana was my server. She was patient and accommodating as I was contemplating my order!

So when I arrived to Cava, near the Christiana mall, kinda, I went in through the side door. I saw a full view of the restaurant and long line. Usually, when there is a long line in a restaurant, 9 times out of ten, the food is good. I walked back outside and walked around to the front. As I stood in a line that reached out the front door, I noticed that the line was moving swiftly. I couldn't believe my eyes, when I entered through the front door. There were 3 workers in the front. They were accompanied by around 4 in the back. It was about 15 people ahead of me, and before you know it, in about 15 minutes, it was my turn. I been to a lot of Cavas around the country, but these workers were on a whole different level. The gentleman Named Breandre, held down his position as greeter and food server like a true professional. Even though he was super busy, he balanced his time wisely and kept the customers happy and satisfied. I always get the falafel crunch and this location prepared it, just the way that I like it. Actually, the best I've had, so far. The cashier named Will, made sure that my order was perfect. Everyone in the front and back did an amazing job. When the corn ran out, they had a replacement within 1 second. 10 stars! read more

I do not know how I waited so long to try this. Ambiance is excellent. Food is amazing and fresh. Prices are moderate.

LOVE the food is amazing, service is amazing ... but tip jar is necessary! Staff is too nice to not get tips.

Yes, it's a chain, but I can't help myself getting the Greens + Grains bowl. Refreshing & satisfying. Especially during the hot summer. I've been swaying more towards this on any given day over Chipotle. Even got down to the right customization to my liking that it gets repetitive. To the point that I can't seem to switch it up because it's that good! Portions seem small, but very fulfilling. Never had any issues with service. So convenient ordering from the app and just parking along the side of the entrance that's reserved just for pick up's. Don't forget to add complimentary pita! read more

They do not serve Halal food. It had appeared as search result on Yelp halal food. Therefore, I don't order anything.

Craving something different? This is it! I got the Market Spice as it came but I did half braised lamb because it looked so good. It was actually amazing. I wish I did the whole thing that way but the half spicy falafel probably saved me some calories. The Market Spice is : Spicy falafel, fiery broccoli, hummus, tzatziki, pickled onions, romaine, rice, skhug, garlic dressing, more. I almost did not get the Pita Chips but they also looked SO good. Dipped these crispy things in the skhug and... Heaven! No pictures. I was too hungry! read more

Outstanding flavor and ingredients. Plenty to choose from. Not overly large portions for a bowl. Saffron rice is the best. You can make it as unique as you want. Highly recommend read more

The staff is always accommodating. The Christiana Cava is the best one I've visited to by far.

Having visited another Cava location maybe 6 months ago, this more recent visit was a let down. This was my first experience using the app: I created my bowl, added a side pita, opted for utensils and bag and scheduled my pick up time. Because I was in the area I popped in early and noticed my order was ready! It was off putting to see that they leave your bowl on a shelf in an open area.. my pita was not sealed and nothing was in a bag. They leave the bags and utensils out on their own station so I just grabbed it myself and left. The food itself was fresh. The bowl however was skimpy, barely any rice and oddly enough a large amount of kalamata olives lol. My first experience with Cava my bowl was plentiful so I wonder about quality control. Not sure if I would've gotten more food if I dined in but that should be universal across the board. For the cost of things, I was left wanting more of a better value. read more

First time visiting and had an excellent food and service. Line runs fast and food presentation was good.

I was pleasantly surprised here today. Online ordering and checkout was easy. Really good drinks. Mexican cola is so good. Ingredients seemed pretty fresh. Lots of dipping sauces, pickle dill was so good. Servers were very nice. read more

I've been visiting this location near the Christiana mall for the last month and I love it. Service is quick and food is served fresh. The outside scenery is love and kept clean just like the inside. The staff is friendly and they suggest different ways to make bowls and wraps to keep you intrigued and looking forward to coming back. Eliasa and all the staff gives me a warm greeting every time I stop in to eat. read more

CAVA - Chicken bowl - Salad Near Me - Newark, Delaware

My wife and I brought our dog there. They have outdoor seating, so it was really nice. This is essentially a Mediterranean, slightly fancier version of Chipotle (although my wife likes Chipotle more). I had the harissa chicken avocado pita wrap and found it quite delicious. They have a good variety of juices and lemonades which was fun! It is very conveniently located near Trader Joe's. read more

Went there on a weekday, at lunch, wasnt too busy. Got a greek type salad, which had chicken. it was tasty & fresh but s bit small (see photo) for the price. it was a 7 inch bowl, but inly 3/4 full. Not sure if i'll go back. read more

I would recommend only because of the vegetables variety, however the sauces contain seed oils which damage the liver and functions of the body and that is no good so stay away from the sauces as best you can read more

Today was my first day in Cava and let me be the first to tell you about Elias and Jodi! They went above and beyond. They were so helpful, kind, friendly and oh so very patient with me despite the long kind behind me. Thank you! I will be coming back!! read more
