    The absolute most lovely, welcoming and accommodating staff. Please give them all a raise! My salmon bowl was delicious and fresh, as always, parking is ample, and business was bustling. Workers were efficient and the entire restaurant was sparkling clean. CAVA is always my first choice!

    Chicken & Rice Bowl

    The quality of the food was 10/10, very fresh. Considering the time of my order 5:30PM, I expected less but was hit with so much more. The resturant looks great, nice aesthetic [wood decor] and kind people working there. I feel like the portion was so generous too! We are already talking about our next visit and this meal is still ongoing!

    Finally got to get this place out kinda like a chipotle but less stuff to choose from. Wasn't what I thought it would be.

    Harissa Avocado

    I got the Harissa Avocado bowl with garlic sauce and extra pita crisps! The pita crisps make the meal so much better. The garlic sauce is a must in every bowl that you get. The service was great! They are very attentive and have such good customer service. There's plenty of tables inside! It's so spacious and there's also tables outside.

    Good option for Mediterranean food. First time visiting Cava and we were actually impressed with the concept. You can choose their pre-set menu of wraps or bowels or you can make your own, choosing your base (rice and/or veggies) and your protein as well as choice of toppings. We got the Garlicky Shawarma chicken bowel and the Falafel Crunch Bowel. We liked how healthy the falafel crunch bowel was as well as the flavors. The Shawarma was good as well with every bite being a little different because of the various toppings. Only complaint would be that the Falafel Crunch Bowel only comes with 2 falafel balls. We also enjoyed the variety of drinks. We tried the pineapple apple mint and the cucumber mint. They were both refreshing and not too sweet. We went on a Saturday late afternoon and there was a steady stream of customers. What I did notice was that some of the people who ordered ahead had to wait for their food. Pretty clean and spacious with plenty of tables. Two bathrooms are available for customers.

    Cava is my go to! I had no idea Norwalk had a location, but I was commuting from the South Bay and decided to stop because I was starving. There was no line (which honestly surprised me), but I wasn't complaining. The restaurant was clean, service was friendly, and everything looked fresh and fully stocked. My bowl was great and made exactly how I like it. Overall, such a good experience, especially since other locations can sometimes be hit or miss. Definitely glad I made the stop!

    Food is fresh and tasty. I liked the lamb and the eggplant salad. I was shocked to hear of an extra charge to get both black lentil and mixed salad greens because they are both grains??? Service was fast and efficient for 2 bowls. Serving size was good. At 1230 there was a line to the door. Lots of seating. There was a constant flow of pickup orders too.

    Kids meal

    It was my first time at this location. I recommend downloading and ordering via the CAVA app; which is easy and convenient. You'll receive text messages regarding order status as well as accumulate points for rewards. The mobile order pick up area consists of shelves towards the left side of the restaurant. Orders are packed in bags, clearly labeled and easy to find. Food: Mediterranean, pitas and bowls that you can customize to your liking. Many veggie options for non-meat eaters as well. Portion for the kids meal (base price is $7.95 plus tax, additional $ for options such lamb, chicken shawarma, steak) was fairly large, and definitely filling for an adult as well.

    Salmon bowl

    Not what I expected. I read the reviews about the stinginess in portions and they were not lying. I ordered the salmon bowl, nicely advertised outside the place, to be surprised with a sliver of salmon big enough for a 5 year old's appetite. Not worth the price. The meat on my other bowls was dry and got one pita triangle per plate despite spending almost $100 on 5 bowls (1-child's plate). The only thing I liked was the BYO veggie bowl. Food was decent, but small portions for the price.

    Ordered Cava here on my lunch and they skimped me so nasty the bowl was so empty the only thing that barely made it look decent was the toppings but there was literally no base! I put a comparison photo to my order from another location a few days prior. This location skimps you.

    Great place, always fresh and quick. The ambiance here makes you not want to leave in a rush, take your time with your friends and family and just enjoy. The service from all the workers was great except Mayra. When I was getting what I'd like in my bowl she kept asking me "is that it?" After everything I got. "Cucumbers." "Is that it?" "Tomatoes." "Is that it?" "Chips" "is that it?" "Garlic and balsamic sauce" "is that it?" "Pickled vegetables onions" "is that ?" "Corn" "is that it?" Felt rushed and didn't even want to tell her anymore stuff. Other than her the rest of the workers were great!

    Add Cava to your list as a go-to healthy fast food option -- think Chipotle meets Mediterranean. Not sure how long it's been open, but it feels fairly new. The interior is clean, modern, and has enough seating to dine in comfortably. Ordering is straightforward: pick your base (greens or grains), protein, and toppings -- or make it easy and go with one of their chef-curated bowls. The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Everything tasted vibrant and well-seasoned. Definitely planning to come back -- a great spot when you want something quick, healthy, and delicious!

    Cava, I'd be honest. I love everything you have here but you're just too damn expensive. But I digress, I cheat the system and always come to your soft openings and eat for free. It's a difficult economy, ya know? I also take the whole family here because it's delicious and nutritious. With that said, this place is the closest location to us. So maybe you will actually see me here all the time. Just make sure you have enough Harrissa chips and my Harissa avocado bowl available. I didn't try it in your location, but every other location I've been to the steak is just too tough. I do also like your roasted eggplant, I think it's a must for any bowl. I hope your CEO and investing in food automation will help crank out delicious bites. But with what we've got the other day, it was delicious as it is. Honestly, skip the regular pita triangle they offer you in the beginning and just opt for the fried Harissa chips. It's life changing when served hot. Oh, speaking of Ambiance your orange bathroom reminds of me of jail. Thank goodness it was clean like always.

    My empty bowl because it was so good I forgot to take a picture

    This is one of the best Mexican food places that you can find. The hype is real…read more On top of it, their meats are halal, so we know the quality is better than ordinary meats. During my many many many visits here, I have tried: -Asada Signature Hot Cheetos Burrito -3 Meat Burrito -Macho Man Burrito -Birria Crunch Wrap -Asada Street Tacos -Street Birria Tacos -BBQ Brisket Tacos -Double Decker Chicken Zinger Wrap -Doritos Flamin' Hot Burger -BBQ Brisket Fries -Birria Fries -Birria & Relleno Quesadilla -3 Meat Nachos I am sure I am missing some stuff that I've already tried but can't remember off of the top of my head... by now you probably get the point that I am a fan and they have mouthwatering and flavorful food. The portion sizes are ginormous and you cannot leave hungry from here and sometimes will have leftovers even if you only order a single item. I wish they had a bigger seating area. Also the ice-cream (pre packaged, not store made) selection is weird but not wonderful. I guess those are an acquired taste. If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.

    Fatima's grill was awesome…read more Don't be fooled this is a Lebanese / Mexican fusion, extremely unique. They have lots of options, treats and drinks throughout the store. My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

    Kabab Crush delivers a satisfying and well-executed meal with their Beef Kabab Combo Plate…read more While it's a bit on the pricier side, the portion more than justifies the cost. The plate comes with three filet mignon skewers, each incredibly juicy, buttery, and tender--clearly cooked with care and quality ingredients. The rice is another highlight: deeply flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning, making it a perfect complement rather than an afterthought. The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience. Overall, a hearty, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared plate that earns a solid 5

    We haven't eaten here in at least five years, so we were incredibly excited to give it another go…read more Naturally, prices have gone up--we've actually been around since this place's "birth," so watching a two-skewer combo skyrocket from $13 to $23 was a bit of a jump. Still, we fondly remembered their generous, delicious portions, so we placed an online order. ​The website didn't give a readiness time, but remembering that they used to prepare everything fresh and take their sweet time, I told my husband we should wait a bit before heading out. ​When I walked in, the employees were chatting and laughing, which was nice to see. Then I noticed a pile of takeout orders sitting on a shelf. Hungry as I was, I silently prayed none of them were ours; I utterly despise cold food. I gave my name to the cashier--who skipped the greeting entirely--and was told it wasn't ready yet. I said thanks and took a seat. ​While I was waiting, another customer asked about her order and was initially dismissed with a "no." After a second look, the cashier called her back: "Oh, this is yours. It's been ready." No apology, just a cold shoulder. The customer was understandably ticked off. ​The real plot twist, however, happened when I got home. Apparently, "two skewers" now translates to a grand total of five pieces of chicken. That is definitely not what it used to be. To make matters worse, my worst nightmare came true: the food was cold. Well, not the chicken, but the french fries and pita bread were stone-cold and stale. ​Lately, I've been going to Luna Grill down the street. They actually serve fresh, much tastier food--and at prices that don't feel like highway robbery.

    Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

    I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal…read more For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.
