Love the food but the workers at this location could be friendlier. I also felt quite grossed out at how they were yelling directly into our bowls with no masks on. They were literally throwing and slamming our bowls onto the counter and the cashier kept mindlessly asking everyone if they were paying together that he asked us and some stranger to pay together when we were clearly not together. Made me realize how important customer service is no matter how good the food is, because it seriously made me not want to return even though I absolutely love their bowls. read more

Came to a different location after my fiance was craving it. Unfortunately had the exact same problem. Completely understaffed with a line out the door. The workers work hard the issue is theres just not enough of them. Going at 330pm isnt exactly primetime either. Had to pick a different meat because they were out of chicken, they were out of 2 of my toppings, and out of sides of pita. Also not a single table to sit at. Nobody wants to wait 40+ minutes for a half-ingredient bowl that ultimately takes less than a mimute to make....oh yeah look at the picture they barely filled it read more

This place is my fav in the city and I was so glad to find it so close to home! The only thing is depending on the time of the day they might run out of some toppings like avocado or red cabbage etc. their online ordering is super easy and quick so usually I order as soon as I am like 10 mins away and pick it up. They usually have huge lines here if you don't order ahead and plan to stand in the line for order. There is not too much seating available here so we mostly get a take out. We get the custom grains and greens bowl with falafel which is freshly prepared! I like that this place has all you want toppings without any additional cost for premium toppings. I do love the variety of sauce options and on top of it dressing options too. Never had I ever had a dry plate from this place! The only reason why I give this place a 4 star is when I ordered to pickup last time I did select pita chips as a topping and they mostly filled my bowl with it. It was hard to look for falafel or any other toppings in my bowl because of that. Definitely coming back and recommend anyone to try it if they haven't. read more

Great service. I love them good food always fresh always good Stephany is great !!!!!!!

I LOVE this place. It was only my second time coming here, but I would come here every day for lunch if I lived close enough. I don't think I would get tired of the food because it's so fresh & healthy. I got the super greens salad bowl with grilled chicken for about $10. You get to choose up to 3 dips. I think the tzatziki goes really well with the free pita bread they give you. I love that you can pick as many toppings as you want because they color your bowl and give you a great balance of things. Lastly I got the lemon herb tahini dressing on the side. The bowl doesn't really need dressing because there's already so much flavor AND you get the 3 dips, but I got the dressing to dip my pita into. The dressing was SO good. The bowl is definitely a hefty size. I could easily feed myself for lunch and dinner, which is what I did last time as well. The bowl is such good value. The line was quite long around prime lunchtime on a Monday, but as with other fast casual places, it moves quickly. read more

always an issue when you have it delivered. missing items every time. plus you can't call to have it resolved because they never pick up the phone. all issues need to be resolved online read more

Best cava in the Bergen/Passaic/Hudson County area. Food is always well prepared. Worker Gabriel was friendly and helpful! 10/10 recommend.

A disappointing experience this time around. Ordered ahead via the app. Food was ready when I arrived but alas, my order was incomplete! The pita I had requested, which was listed on the receipt, was nowhere to be found! I went up to a young lady who was making two other customers bowls. I figured she was ignoring me until she was done preparing their bowls. Wrongo, even after she was done it was as if I was not standing there! Even when I tried to get her attention she completely ignored me! I went up to another young lady who did acknowledge me and handed me a quarter piece of cold pita. My bowl, while still plenty to eat, was far less generous than in the past. Everything was also quite cold. Ordered the falafel this time, which were very small and so greasy you could even taste it while mixed in with everything else. Certainly won't keep me from going back, but I won't get falafel again and I did not enjoy the lack of customer service nor the cold bowl this time around. read more

1st time trying this restaurant. We had a crispy falafel pita and a Greek chicken pita; both were exactly how they're written up on menu and both were delicious. It was a busy Friday night, but staff was still pleasant. Some of the tables could've been cleaner, but again, it was a very busy Friday dinner time. read more

I have a gluten allergy. Not knowing if I can eat here i asked. The manager and the initial employee on the line took great care of me. The manager reading the allergy menu guided me through. The two of them provided me with a marvelous, welcoming and safe experience. Every one of the employees were busy, efficient and kind. As long is it's safe I dont care what it tastes like and my excitement at lots of safe flavor options could have turned out badly by my own choices but everything is delicious and fresh. I will be back. Nice store. read more

Best cava ever!! Had such a great experience with the service! Thank you so much for everything

Absolutely terrible experience ordering for delivery. Not only was the order an hour late, but we only received 3/5 orders, and none of them were prepared correctly. There was no pita or dressings included either. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes get made, but management couldn't have seemed to care less. CAVA has improperly prepared my delivery orders several times now. I thought it was just the location, but it seems to be disorganization within the company as a whole. I love their food, but it is not worth the headache. read more

Loved coming back here again. I haven't been in some time, but was really excited to order! They do a really good job of trying to maintain social distance between tables; they have the row of tables closest to the order counter blocked off and the rest of them are alternating to ensure enough space. They added a few different things since the last time I came, including other grain options called RightRice along with having their usual selection of greens. I ordered the basmati rice because it's just always SO GOOD, braised lamb, and a smattering of toppings. I did forget to order pickled onions but they were more than happy to accommodate me with a side order when I went back to the counter. All in all, great experience with all covid restrictions in place. It's also great to see them adding new items to the menu to reflect what the customers are looking for, like adding avocado and bringing back certain dressings. Definitely worth a trip! read more

Very busy but was quickly given my meal under 5 minutes and left happily satisfied. Wonderful service!

I highly recommend this place. Great service. The staff is always very friendly. No matter how busy they are, they're always happy and willing to answer any questions. The food is always fresh and delicious. One of the healthiest options when you want something quick and on the go. read more

First time visiting-was sorry my first experience was at this location. Walking in here- felt like I was in Washington Heights. No diversity in the workers. The woman who took my order didn't seem to understand English. She was a blonde middle aged woman. She also seemed annoyed. I told her that it was my first time visiting and that I needed a minute (was deciding on my toppings). She literally rolled her eyes. Wasn't impressed with the food. The pita chips were really greasy. Got the harissa chicken meal and the chicken was so sparse. Really disappointed in the food and the staff. Dear Management, is it a requirement to be Dominican to work here? Would be cool to see diversity in a somewhat diverse area. read more

This is my favorite location for Cava. All of the staff is super nice and helpful. I have to shoutout Yanni and Shayna.

My daughter just went there and ordered her food. At the register they said they don't take cash. No sign or anything posted prior to ordering. Also wouldn't take a copy of a card to enter manually. So basically threw her food away. So heads up they don't take cash and don't have a sign posted! Bergen Town in Paramus read more

One of my favorite places to eat honestly. I've turned my friends into CAVA lovers simply because it's healthier, and their options are amazing. You can customize your bowls with rice, lentils, super greens, falafel, grilled veggies, etc... the food is really tasty and it's affordable too. Your body will love it and so will your wallet. If you want to be a bad boy or bad girl, order fried pita chips on the side. Thank me later lol. read more

Love this place!! Is it just me or does the chicken have something magical in it? It doesn't matter what I order, I just make sure I order the chicken. In a bowl, on a pita, however!! I'm sure everything else is great too but I can't stop ordering the chicken! A Yelp Event brought me to this place and I can't get enough. Love that Apple cider beverage also! Self serve so you can't go wrong read more

Cava is legendary! Always fresh and you can be in and out within minutes. Parking sucks here since it is crazy busy but I like Cava. I prefer the vegatarian options here with the falafel and roasted vegetables being my favorite. The saffron rice is my jam too. I also love the red pepper hummus and tzatziki. Dont sleep on the cookies up front either. Cool place with a lot of seating too. read more

Had pretty quick service & the food is always good I always come back to this cava for the good vibes.

It's like a Mediterranean chipotle! So many good toppings! I really enjoyed my meal from here. For someone like myself who is watching their weight, I love how when you build your bowl online, it counts the calories for you. Definitely pushes you to make better nutritional choices. Will definitely be ordering from here frequently. read more

I would eat this every single day if I could - that's how amazing it was! I got the balsamic date chicken bowl, as is, with the addition of pickled onions. Beyond amazing. read more

Food was good but overpriced. Staff could careless if you were alive or not. Less interaction without smiles than Chipolte or McDonald's. Seating is uncomfortable and the decor is cold and unappealing. read more

I love cava but this location has gone down hill. Orders are always messed up, workers look/act miserable and the entire place is filthy with trash all over the floors read more

If you are a Chipotle or a Moe's fan and feel Moe's is the superior chain restaurant this is the Moe's of fast Greek food. They have a lot of locally sourced food which is great! They have a falafel that is so most it melts in your mouth. I recommend getting a mix of the grain and the salad if you want salad it can run a little small. I tried the baked eggplant this time as a topping and my God was that a little baked slice of heaven topped with some garlic . No matter what you get you can't go wrong. read more

Horrible cava. Everything was dried up and hard. I usually go to Wayne Cava which is way better. I usually have leftovers because the bowl is filled to the top but as you can see this bowl looks horrible and not worth the $10. I don't expect to get lentils and rice and both are overcooked as dried up. I also asked for pita on the side only to get home and not find it in my bag. Never coming back to this location. read more

Food is amazing love it ! Will recommend to my family and friends. The bowl is super flavorful and delicious.

Every time I have ordered from this cava location via Uber, the orders are missing items, especially the pita, or the orders are completely wrong and have items we didn't order or the orders are mixed up and don't match what is clearly listed on the receipt that accompanies the order. I love the food here, but it's too much of an inconvenience to order online and get wrong orders every time. I've complained to Uber, but they suggested we notify the merchant directly. read more

I love cava but I don't really care for this particular location. Service is always slow and there was only one other person in line. The quantity and quality of the food fell off over the years but it's a quicker and lighter food option in the area. read more

Easiest way to describe this place...Greek version of chipotle. You build your own dish and pay at the end The place itself is really spacious and clean. Not sure if it's because this is still pretty new, but I really like the concept of the being able to make my own food, knowing that I'm putting into it (kinda). The food was amazing! I didn't think all the crap that I had mixed in together would taste great, but everything was so flavorful! I have to say that the staff could be a little more enthusiastic working there. Granted it was a slow night, she didn't really explain how to order, how much we can order, and when she did, you can barely hear her with that glass that's there. Anyway, I suggest you look at their paper menu rather than the actual menu they have because everything just looked so overwhelming. Regardless, I downloaded their app for easy order/pick ups and I would absolutely come back! read more

If you haven't been to CAVA you need to go... right now! I absolutely love their food. I compare it to chipotle but I think it's so much better. The flavors are strong & the portion is usually pretty big. You build your own bowl (like chipotle) but the options are healthier and so tasty!! I come here often and there usually is a small wait time but today there was a huge line and I must have been on line for 20+ minutes which is unusual which is the reason for my 4 stars.. It felt like there weren't enough employees working.. However, once I got my food and was able to eat, I realized the wait was worth it, the flavors never disappoint!! read more

I always enjoy the food from cava. Always fresh and easy to get! The manager nieve is very helpful and attentive. Overall, one of my fav locations of Cava. read more

This cava has the RUDEST employees. They never tell you when they're out of ingredients and will charge you full price. Online orders are never done correctly or even on time. Last time I went I walked out entirely on a bowl that was made to completion because I overheard the employees speaking poorly about me in Spanish because I asked for extra toppings since they barely put anything in my order. The store itself is always a mess. I love CAVA but I avoid this location because of the staff. Sad because this is the only one close to my location. read more

Food is good but please do not order the brownie deserts. They charge over $3 bucks and you have to see the size of it. It's for a 3 year old. Very disappointing. read more

The kitchen needs to be set up differently. The Mobile orders should not be pulled from the same food area and resources (including labor) as the orders in person. There have been multiple times where I have waited on line in Cava for 20 minutes (timed it) just to get to the front of the ordering spot because in between each person inside they restaurant, the same worker handles 3-5 mobile orders. It is extremely inefficient. It's a shame because the food is so good that I keep coming back, but the customer service isn't great and the line moves so slowly even with just a few people on it. If this was a Chipotle, I'd be done eating before I even got to order at this Cava location. read more
