    On our way to upstate New York we stopped by this Cava store on NJ 17 North for lunch. There are lots of parking in front and around the store. Few outdoor tables were available too. It was a very clean and tidy inside. There wasn't much customer only a few, including us. They had all the items lined up in the station, all seemed freshly cooked. I got my favorite braised lamb bowl with tzatziki sauce, rice, lettuce, shrug, and several toppings. It is little bit of pricier but everything in the bowl tasted super delicious. I used the app to make sure I got the reward points. The service was really good. We got our order in a few minutes.

    When you need something quick, tasty, and healthy, you can't go wrong with CAVA. I've been to a lot of locations - Paramus (my usual go-to), Wayne, and Edgewater. Today was my first time visiting the Ramsey location and I'm mad that I didn't come sooner. I came on a Monday afternoon and the place was poppin'. Most tables were filled and there was a constant flow of people coming in and out. First of all... the SERVICE? It was like day and night compared to Paramus! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with smiles and warmth. Every employee that helped make my order were so friendly and polite, including the cashier and manager. They were very generous with portions and packed my bowl to the top! I was actually shocked because the Paramus employees are nothing like this... sorry, but it goes to show how much customer service goes a long way. I was also impressed by the cleanliness and organization. The counter/ordering area, drinks station, tables, and trash area were all fairly clean. The toppings, proteins, dips, greens, and grains were fully stocked. They have a designated area for mobile orders, which they kept up with. They seem to be prepared to handle large crowds and rush hours, so kudos to them! Once again... this is like day and night compared to Paramus. I ordered my usual: super greens, brown rice, tzatziki sauce, roasted eggplant, crazy feta dip, grilled chicken, corn, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, cabbage slaw, feta cheese, and pita crisps all topped with Greek vinaigrette dressing. My bowl was delicious and flavorful! Toppings were so fresh and the chicken was well seasoned. And you can't forget to wash down your meal with one of their refreshing drinks! Today I went with their strawberry citrus and lemonade. Hmmmm I guess I can make a sacrifice... driving through Route 17 aka a hell hole... just to get a better CAVA experience? I think yes. I didn't mean for this review to sound like I'm bashing on Paramus LOL... but I'm just impressed with the Ramsey location. Great job!

    Cava has delicious fresh food. The salads and all the options you can get are many. The place was clean, staff was great. They have the best drinks. Can't wait to return. I just wish they had one in Monmouth County.

    I love Cava's bowl/pita options. They have many healthy, delicious options to pick from. The food bar station is always clean and the line moves very fast, almost too fast lol. The service is okay. The line servers always move very fast and I understand but it can be a bit overwhelming when you're faced with many delicious choices. My tried and true Cava order is a grain and greens bowl. It contains; white rice, splendid greens, red pepper hummus, crazy feta dip, tzatziki dip, grilled chicken, roasted corn, Persian cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, feta cheese, pickled onions, Kalamata olives, Greek dressing and lemon herb tahini dressing. I know, it sounds like a lot but I promise it is worth trying! My only gripe is they always forget to give you the free side of pita. I would recommend trying Cava and creating your own go to bowl but don't forget to ask for your free side of warm pita!

    sprinkle of broccoli

    I have no words. This location is very inconsistent. Last week they forgot the dressing for 4 meals. I contacted customer service and they gave me a partial refund. This week I ordered 5 meals for delivery, all with dressing and they sent 3 dressings. We also ordered broccoli in 4 of the meals and it was barely a sprinkle. Finally, ordered the crazy feta and it wasn't even a tablespoon full. Probably won't order from this location again unless they improve.

    Spicy greens plus lamb meatballs was excellent!

    Am I bit casual with the five stars? Perhaps. But the thing is, my wife and I were hungry after watching a school play and 20 minutes later we were full. Cava is clean, bright, and modern. The staff were friendly and professional. My wife had a chicken and brown rice bowl and I had the spicy greens bowl plus spicy lamb meatballs. The texture and flavor were excellent. Just the right level of spice for me, which would be the high side of medium. This is my kind of healthy and fast casual restaurant.

    Paid $17 for this order and the bowl was MAYBE half full if being generous. Asked for Arugula, Brown Rice, Tzatziki, Tzatziki, Spicy Lamb Meatballs, Salt-Brined Pickles, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Cucumber, Persian Cucumber, Pita Crisps, Skhug, Skhug, Free Side Pita Honestly good for you Cava Group representatives Ted, Ike, Dimitri, and Brett for ensuring the best bang for buck to satisfy your fluffy EOY bonuses!

We ordered the Oreo protein pancakes, blueberry pancakes, penne with vodka sauce, and a breakfast burrito. Since I turned vegan, I've been craving pancakes so the food really hit the spot. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasted incredible. The penne was also so flavorful and was maybe our favorite dish. The breakfast burrito was also filling and tasted great. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of food and would come here regularly if I lived in the area. Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area. Chelsea was our waitress and I want to give her a special shoutout because she was particularly helpful and friendly to us. She did an excellent job answering our questions and even was willing to share general tips on vegan cooking.

I've been coming here frequently for the past two months and I'm officially addicted! If you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal... NAYA will not disappoint. It's a fast-casual franchise inspired by Lebanese/Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu is straightforward and follows the typical "build your own" food model. You can create your own bowl, pita roll, or salad. Then you add your bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces. The toppings are UNLIMITED, so go off!!! Plus, they give you free pita bread! They also have a small selection of hot & cold appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The prices are reasonable and they give you a generous amount of food. Depending on how hangry I am, I can usually split my food into two meals. My go-to order is the Naya bowl. I highly recommend trying these: *Chicken Shawarma (roasted strips of marinated chicken) - One of my favorite proteins! It's tangy and garlicky. *Falafel (fried chickpea croquette with herbs and spices) - They're super crispy and deep fried to perfection with a golden-brown exterior. The inside is a vibrant green color from all of the fresh herbs, spices, and grounded chickpeas. *Beef Shawarma - Tender, juicy, and savory! *Baba Ghannouj - A must try for eggplant lovers!! It's smoky with rich flavors from charred eggplant, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. *Hummus - It's creamy, nutty, and earthy. All of the ingredients and toppings are fresh. Every bite is a burst of flavor! The staff is always friendly and packs my bowl to the brim, so I can't complain. They get busy during lunch rush hours, but you can order ahead to avoid a longer wait time. The interior is bright, modern, and welcoming with natural lighting and greenery. There's a good amount of seating. Add NAYA to your rotation of fast-casual healthy eateries!

I was very impressed with the serving sizes and the freshness of their ingredients. I also appreciated how they placed the salad that accompanied my omelet in a separate bowl. The entrees were: Truffle Infused Wild Mushroom Omelette (wild mushrooms, shaved parmesan, roasted potato hash, and a side salad). Every bite was filled with every ingredient and this item is highly recommended. Whiskey Burger (8 Oz. beef patty, double cut bacon, apple jack barbecue sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, pickle, caramelized onions). This burger was juicy, throughout, and the sweet potato fries side was heavenly salty. The last entree was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (whipped ricotta, lemon zest, fresh fruit and berries). Theses pancakes were t.h.i.c.k. and the fruit was plentiful. I also ordered an Apple and Pear Salad for takeout and it was AMAZING! It was large enough for two servings and the vinaigrette dressing was exquisite.

The owner started his business venture as a ghost kitchen in 2020, and then opened up this brick-and-mortar location earlier this year. There's a parking lot in the back. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a Mediterranean-inspired ambiance - rustic pottery, white & blue color palettes, blonde woods, soft lighting. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. The seating areas are good for small to medium-sized groups. They have a simple menu with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices: pita sandwiches, salads, rice bowls, platters, pastries, etc. The rotisserie meats are the star of the show! We ordered... *Spanakopita $6 (layers of crispy, golden phyllo dough with a spinach, feta cheese, and herb filling) *Tiropita $6 (layers of buttered phyllo dough with a cheese and egg filling) The phyllo dough was flaky, crispy, and buttery. I preferred the tiropita out of the two. It was super cheesy, salty, and creamy. The spinach filling wasn't as good because it tasted oily. *Traditional Gyro Platter $20 *Chicken Souvlaki Platter $20 All platters are served with one grilled pita, tzatziki sauce, and your choice of two sides. The lamb/beef gyro was slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It was super savory, tender, and seasoned in a blend of herbs and spices. The chicken souvlaki skewers were juicy and loaded with a zesty lemon garlic marinade. The pita bread was warm and fluffy. The tzatziki sauce was creamy and tangy. For our sides we chose: *Greek Salad (romaine, tomato, red onion, cucumber, Greek herbs, feta, dolma, olives, pepperoncini, red wine vinaigrette) *Marinated Beet Salad (red beets, red onion, herbs, balsamic glaze) *Lentil Soup *Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup All of the sides were delicious. The salads were very refreshing and made with high quality ingredients. Out of the two soups, my favorite was the lemon chicken orzo. It was like a good ol' comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup with a bright, citrusy aftertaste. The lentil soup broth was a little too watery and sour for me (I think they might've overdone it with the lemon and tomatoes). We had a lot of leftovers to take home. The prices are an excellent bang for your buck because they give you generous portions. The staff is very kind and attentive. We dined in and they brought our food to us in a timely manner. They were on point with clearing our plates, giving us extra utensils/napkins, and anything else we needed. I would happily return whenever I'm in the area!

Everything was perfect about it - the caramelized onions, gruyere on top, bacon, truffle aioli, and, of course, the burger itself.

THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 5:45 - 7:15 PM on a Friday and most of the evening crowd was older and there weren't many families with kids. There were maybe 2-3 families with kids, but they left by 6:15 PM. Most of the groups were groups of 4, seemingly catching up during a nice meal. CONCLUSION -------------------- = I was pleasantly surprised by the experience we had here. I figured this would be a super casual Friday after work/school dinner with the fam, but this turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in North Jersey in a while. Food, service and ambiance here was excellent. Wish they had .5 stars on Yelp because Saddle River Cafe is as close to perfection as it can get at 4.5 stars!
