    Falafel bowl , Sumac Sour Cream + Onion Pita Chips
    Marissa M.

    This is my 2nd time trying CAVA and my very last. It's not worth the money for poor quality food. They never fill up the bowls for the price point. I'm sticking to Mezeh. The restaurants in Raleigh are just terrible.

    My sentiments about CAVA are pretty much the same as most people. There is no doubt that the food is good, you can tell it's fresh, whole food. Even the fountain drinks are Maine Root, known for using cane sugar. This place uses good ingredients. But you are paying a steep price. I had the lamb meatballs sweet potato bowl with pita chips and a regular fountain drink. The standard portion is two baby sized meatballs, I asked for double and my total came out to $35.

    Inflation is real. I just realized they this small drink (kid size) cup for coke cost $3.25 I totally forgot to take a pic of my food, but this was the splurge for the month for m, I don't think I got the value for what I paid in total for this bowl and drink.

    Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience 3 Date/Time: 10/6/2024 12:30pm Crowd: 3 tables occupied and several waiting in line (mostly to-go orders) Order: Spicy Chicken & Avocado Wrap Service was quick. The folks behind the counter looked a bit tired with all the serving they were doing but were efficient at their job. After going public on the stock market, I thought there would be some changes in the restaurant but the same cement floor was still there. They did change the app with rewards. The food is still very good. Ordered the wrap with the harissa vinegarette on the side just in case the harissa hummus made it too spicy but it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be so used it to dip the wrap into. Still a good place to eat!

    This time I decided to try the new date vinaigrette and it was soo yummy. I also threw a couple sweet potatoes in the bowl and it offered a balanced of sweet & savory. Cava is always consistent, I can't be upset with the service as we are always waiting for fresh harissa chicken. Who can be mad at that?! Overall, I always enjoy cava and would recommend.

    I can't really say I enjoyed this location. It wasn't very clean, the staff wasn't very friendly, the food wasn't that amazing for the price we paid. I can see how it could be, but not at this location for me. I eat here only because the person I was having lunch loves their food. I really wanted to enjoy it - but no. The one thing that really bothered me was when I asked for some suggestions from the staff since it was my first time. The person was kind of shrugged like "I don't know what to tell ya". Like I am not looking for you to give me a Yelp review, but what is the best sellers? That would have helped. That was the introduction and well we know how first impression are. Once I decided on what I wanted, the quality of the protein the staff member was placing within my bowl, I asked could they give me something that looked fresh as that looked to have been out for awhile. They became annoyed. Yeah, at that point I was like you know what - let me get thru this. I will not be back nor would I recommend this location to anyone.

    The store is severely understaffed. The cashier should only handle checkouts, not food. This raises serious sanitation concerns. Even though hands don't touch the food when making the bowls, there are still opportunities to improve the food prep process. I didn't see gloves being changed frequently and the food prepping area needs cleaning. The dining area tables were dirty and required deep cleaning. I acknowledge that I visited during a busy time, but that doesn't excuse the issues I observed. Overall, the food was good as always.

    Grains Bowl w/ Braised Lamb, cucumber & tomatoes, grilled chicken and pickled onions

    I finally tried Cava!!! My daughter and my nephew both rave about it, so I ordered delivery for a Sunday dinner. I'll definitely go to the actual location next time to make sure I'm getting everything I ask for and the correct portions. I had the grains bowl, with basmati rice, 1/2 braised lamb, 1/2 grilled chicken, cucumber & tomatoes, pickled onions & tzatziki!! It was absolutely delicious. It was love at first bite. I'm already planning my next visit. The grilled chicken and the braised lamb were both so amazingly tender and melted in my mouth. The flavor profile of the bowl was perfect! They forgot my side of pita and my side of yogurt dill sauce, but it didn't take away from the delicious, fresh taste of the bowl. I can only imagine how delicious the pita will be.

    First time at cava was a success! Sad it took me so long to try, apparently I've been missing out! These pita chips and garlic spread have me in a chokehold! The summer drinks are good as well

    Salad bowl with roasted veggies.  Dressings garlic & balsamic
    Stephanie G.

    Food was delicious. The server suggested I try the balsamic date vinaigrette, and it was fabulous! I'm so glad I tried it. Thank you ! I had the lavender blueberry lemonade, it felt "dry" I really don't know how to explain it, but it was not sweet whatsoever. Ambience, pretty chill inside. There is seating outside but the other restaurant across has seating there and during the weekends it gets pretty busy. During the week it is quiet.

    Roasted veggie bowl. 6 cups put in due to it being low, it was barely a half bowl. More came in a kids meal. Shouldn't be able to fit 6.

    The restaurant was clean. Plenty of parking. The drink area was clean as well. They also offer a pickup area. The food was good. Meat was well seasoned & everything was fresh. I love eating at any of their locations. The employees were great. Robert displayed excellent customer service. However, I believe some training for some employees would be helpful. When preparing bowls, is you choose not to get lettuce, then you should get more rice (see pics). I did bring it to their attention & it was corrected. I appreciate that. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & outdoor seating as well. Very relaxing inside. I will say this, I got a warm feeling from the staff; like a family unit. The impression was they work well together & care about each other. That's so important nowadays. I love that versus a hostile environment where people have attitudes & chaos. I will definitely return to this location. PLEASE REMEMBER, have patience, you never know what someone is going through or what kind of day they may be having. It may be a reason they aren't smiling or talking.

    Bowl with super greens, grains and bomb toppings! I snapped this when my bowl was half way gone lol.
    Markisha D.

    So I finally tried CAVA and I have no idea why I waited soooo long! I got created my own bowl and loaded it with super greens, brown rice, red pepper hummus, harissa and tzatziki dip, tomato/cucumbers, fire roasted corn, olives, harissa honey chicken, pickled onions, pita crisp & finished it up with green vinaigrette, yogurt dill & hot harissa vinaigrette. It was amazing and although it was super light feeling I was full - 10/10 recommend. Now they're kinda high but it was expected so I wasn't caught off guard. I got my order to go but the inside was cool- there were a lot of people inside. It was a semi small but comfortable vibe. The pineapple mint drink was like a 6/10, but I would try it again. Servers were super cool & patient! I'll be back to try a different variation of the bowl.

    I was half way done before remember to take a picture lol this food is good!

    The food is worth 5 stars but the customer service is not. They are skimpy on the dips, sauce and pita.

    My son took me here for a birthday lunch as it is near his work and he had discovered their fresh,…read morehealthy bowls. He recommended the double protein bowl, adding a base of rice and kale. The protein bowl comes with a habanero dressing and I don't like spicy quite as much as he does so I changed to tomatillo vinaigrette. It was absolutely delicious! Big portion, tremendous flavor and so filling with all the protein. The goat cheese was a really nice touch. I'll definitely order this again. Counter service was quick and there is plenty of covered outside seating. Definitely recommend for a quick and healthy lunch.

    This Happy + Hale location is located in a shopping plaza with other businesses that share the lot…read morein front. There are tables located inside and outside of the business to dine in after you order your food. When I entered the business I was greeted & asked if I was picking up a to-go order. After viewing the menu I chose to create my own bowl. All of the ingredients are already prepared and chosen as you walk along the display of food and toppings. I got jasmine rice as my base and added herb roasted chicken, hot black beans, corn, tomatoes, feta cheese, pico, tortilla crunch with the avocado cilantro dressing. The ingredients tasted fresh and I got large pieces of chicken. The bowl was filling. The beans were low in quantity when the server was preparing my bowl but instead of changing out the container the clerk drained the juice off the beans to fill my bowl. I asked for a cup of water and was charged 50 cents for it. I was also charged $1.00 for cheese. I don't mind paying for the items but I feel like I should be told that there is a charge for these items.

Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
