    This was my first time having CAVA & all I can say is yummm! The food is so fresh & very filling. The service is quick, everything was already done so it did not take long. I did not eat in but from going inside to place my order it was clean & I would definitely go back.

    Service is absolutely terrible. Rude and disrespectful. Asked for napkins and the cashier "hand blocked " me and told to get them elsewhere. Tables and floor are disgusting and never wiped nor cleaned. Will never be back!

    plastic in my food or mouth

    Lunch from Cava today, 12-22-25. Carry out. Home. Took forst bite . Chewing on something that's plastic and surely not belonging in my food or mouth. Lo and behold it was a pretty big piece of plastic. Cava is my go to place. Usually another location, however, I am sure that the plastic wasn't part of the ingredients!

    This location is awful, they don't actually make online orders till you arrive and specifically ask. Very skimpy on protein and they will forget many of your toppings. I reached out to corporate for feedback and they couldn't have cared less. Only positive is that the store was very clean and the ingredients they remembered to add were very flavorful. I think I will explore other chains, after the way corporate handled things.

    Clean location with plenty of seating to dine in. All items and drinks were available during lunch time on a Saturday.

    Nalley Fresh is right next door, but this place is better. Beware their harissa paste/sauce. It's actually hot. I was pleasantly surprised. Most places, you tell them you want your meal spicy, and it tastes just like everyone else's meal. My boyfriend was actually sweating, while eating his bowl. It helps to get the hummus or the crazy feta, to calm the burn. I got the Harissa Avocado Bowl (880 Cal - Harissa honey chicken + hot harissa vinaigrette. Crazy Feta®, hummus, corn, cabbage, avocado, rice, SuperGreens) and it was amazing. So much food! I swapped regular rice for their RightRice, as my boyfriend was recently diagnosed diabetic and we're trying to find vegetable products that he'll enjoy. It's an extra charge for RightRice but it's so tasty. It's worth it. The salad came with a small piece of pita. Carbs! I love them! But I'm on this low-carb, low-sugar, high protein adventure with my boyfriend so I'm glad it wasn't a bigger piece. I also tried the blueberry lavender lemonade. I was expecting shockingly sweet, but it's so not that. I liked it, but will try another of their interesting beverages next time. My boyfriend built his own bowl with double chicken, harissa, Crazy feta, pickled onions (so pretty in pink), RightRice, lentils, no greens with Greek vinaigrette. He regrets not getting the cucumbers and tomatoes. My mom got the Spicy Chicken and Avocado wrap (Harissa honey chicken, Crazy Feta®, hummus, avocado, pickles, corn, pickled onions, hot harissa vinaigrette). It was soaking wet when she unwrapped it. She had to eat it with a form. I think she regretted the harissa. She claimed that we should come back, but she only ate half her wrap. She had the strawberry lemonade, also mellow on the lemon flavor. Seems we were all satisfied with our lunch, even if my mom was faking it. Would recommend

    Years ago there was a tapas spot in downtown Bmore on Fleet where 'BLK Swan' has currently set up shop. Previously, that was the location for CAVA. It was a fun, casual spot with high energy that served fantastic tapas. The weekends were the best bc the brunch was absolutely INSANE! Mimosas/ Bloody Mary's were like 0.25 cents or something crazy like that. I digress... As all good things / places in Bmore, eventually, it left the area out of nowhere. *le sigh* Years pass and today, while out, a friend suggested we go to CAVA. I was elated!!! I thought, 'OMG! It's still around? YESSSS!!! Let's GO'!!! Upon entering, my first thought was, 'where are we? What is this place? This isn't the CAVA I knew'. Essentially, CAVA now is akin to the set up of places like Chipotle, &pizza, Panda Express & the like (assembly line style). You choose your meal from behind the glass, and they prepare your meal. You can get your meal one of two ways: either a 1) bowl or 2) a wrap. Still in shock w/ the change, I order a Harissa Avocado Bowl... and I never looked back!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! This preparation was a treat for the eyes. All the colors of the fresh ingredients truly were laid out like a kaleidoscope in the bowl. Yum!!! The Harissa Avocado Bowl is: A fresh but fiery chef-curated bowl that's perfect for summer. It includes SuperGreens, Basmati Rice (I substituted brown rice), Crazy Feta, Hummus, Harissa Honey Chicken, Fire-Roasted Corn, Avocado, Pickled Onions, Cucumber, and their Hot Harissa Vinaigrette. SCORE!!! Turns out they were out of corn and feta at the time so I added Jalapeños, black couscous, pico de gallo, tomatoes and an additional Cilantro dressing. When I tell you this meal was 1) healthy af 2) super filling and 3) a party in my mouth... believe me! This was so incredibly flavorful. They offer canned and maybe bottled drinks, as well as a self serve soda fountain to get ur own drinks. I opted for the self serve and mixed several lemonades & tea to make a delicious concoction. The staff was incredibly well mannered and professional. It's nice to see employees that don't have a chip on their shoulder, in the area. My initial disappointment was quickly set aside once I had this melange of deliciousness to chow down on. Maybe this is a reformulation of the CAVA I used to know years prior and this is the streamlined version during COVID. Whatever, the reason, I'm STILL a fan!!! SCORE!!!

    Cava has been my go to when I need something filling, tasty, and quick !! I love how customizable it is and you can always ask for extra toppings of things you like (love the pickled onions here). Along with your bowl, you also get a free pita! I would recommend looking online or in the cava app what they offer so you can have an idea of what you want so you're not overwhelmed ordering in person. This location tends to be busy so I usually like to order on the app and pick it up!

    Like many other Cava locations. Cashier wasn't very friendly and was impatient. The food was fine, tables and chairs were dirty.

On the plus side my family enjoyed the ribs and crab balls. On the negative side, the fish in my fish and chips was painfully thin and small. Normally you get a nice chunky piece of fish when you get fish and chips. Not only that, l've never had fish and chips where the skin was on the fish. I left most of the skin behind, but ate some of it because the portion was so small. I had to eat something. Please have the chef look up what fish and chips is supposed to look like. Despite being the only server, our wait person was outstanding - it wasn't their fault that they had to handle the entire dining room. . Also appreciated the carafe of water on the table - but why no ice -had to drink lukewarm water. Make sure to ask for prices upfront and verify-for a single crabcake entrée, we paid $63 when it's advertised online as 30. Let the buyer beware.. Wouldn't feel a need to return at this point, too many other better options.

    We ordered the Japanese pan noodles with beef and mac and cheese with chicken and shrimp…read more I am surprised about how good this was, especially for a fast food type of spot. My noodles had a unique texture. They were chewy, almost like rice cakes. I really really enjoyed the texture and keep dreaming about getting another bowl. The steak was also flavored really well. Next time, I will order double meat because I feel I needed a little more protein to noodle ratio. There wasn't a lot of sauce, so the noodles were a bit drier. I like that but there is an option for more sauce. Overall, I really enjoyed the dishes, and the only thing i'd change is more protein and vegetables for next time.

    All is well as me and my friend approached the door. We had traveled significantly far just to…read moreenjoy some pasta. We both got the same thing our go to buttered noodles with Parmesan crusted chicken. Before I tell the next part remember the name of the pasta specifically states butter. Unfortunately the food took 20 minutes to come out mind you the place was completely empty. When my friends food approached the table as she began to start eating it, we noticed it was quite dry. As we looked further into it, we developed a sense of knowledge that both our pasta were really cold and my friend had zero butter on her pasta. You would think they directly took it out of the pot and placed it right in her bowl and dried it completely. Also, we had to pay four dollars extra for the chicken mind you we got maybe two pieces each extremely thin and cut up to minuscule pieces. To say we are disappointed would be an extreme understatement. To think that we hiked all the way out to Whitemarsh just to enjoy some noodles and Company is quite sad given the circumstances of our food. I never liked to leave bad reviews, but I believe this experience called for at least a review just to give some feedback. The workers were nice, but it did take a minute for us to be acknowledged when my friend was acknowledged. The interaction wasn't very pleasant and my friend felt uncomfortable in the situation. we hope that this review can provide constructive criticism because we do enjoy noodles and company. We just had a pretty outlandish experience.

I was really a fan of the green and hot sauce (quite spicy). I'm not a fan of ranch/mayo adjacent stuff so I predicted I wouldn't like the white sauce. I preferred the chicken pieces over the lamb, but they both tasted good. The fries were like a 6/10, better than average. All the food came out super hot. The price for everything was also really good. The service was great. The guy at the counter was polite and brought me over a tray when he saw I was dining in. The food also didn't take long (~10 mins). The ambience was nice, and there was a good amount of seating. People came and went but it was pretty empty for half the time I was there (40 mins).

You can tell because the rice is all stuck together and clumped up same as if you put it in the fridge to heat up later. My special requests wasn't met at all , it literally ask for extra red sauce and sauce under the rice as well . Idk what's so hard to comprehend when someone ask for extra hot sauce . Sorry i don't want plain rice with a small drizzle of sauce . As someone that goes here regularly this shit is so inconsistent, ive been to other naz halal that get it right and read the custom tickets. On top of that the cheesesteak also asked for red sauce and oh look , no red sauce on there either . As someone that likes my food extra spicy , if I ask for extra spice . It's disappointing you can't do that. Oh and they're slowly becoming like chipotle where they're rationing the meat and just giving tons of rice . Note this location has been a headache from the start , as my past reviews are from a year ago and this location.
