    Chicken, Spinach, Avocado & More Bowl
    Kevin D.

    Tasty Meal, Great Service. I visited this Cava location in North Bethesda first time today. Located on busy Rockville Pike. The dining area is spacious considering the small restaurant footprint. I invited a friend to just me for lunch. We arrived late afternoon & scored a table. The place is busy. Our meal-she had chicken/rice bowl; I had chicken on a bed of baby spinach w/asst. toppings. The chicken, spinach, pickled onions & tzatziki particularly fresh and flavorful. Delicious! My friend really enjoyed her meal. See Photo-generous portion. Prompt courteous customer service.

    Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening and had a lovely experience! Very fast and casual. The workers were all nice and efficient. Made my own bowl for ~$11.50. Very fair price for the amount of food. I left very full! Lots of different options. Ingredients felt very fresh and the flavors were great! Lots of vegetable options and sauce options that were delicious. A good mix of everything and could make whatever you wanted! Would come back!

    How best to describe Cava? Think of a fresh and Mediterranean version of what Chipotle was when it first started. I have not been eating out much lately, but I decided to try this place on a whim, and I am so happy I did. I had the grains and greens bowl, and it was delicious! First, you select either a bowl or pita (think wrap or salad) and start by adding your choice of protein, vegetable, or grain. Protein choices include grilled chicken or lamb; there is a vegetarian option for falafels or a sweet potato vegetable thing. There are several add-ins, such as olives, feta cheese, Persian cucumbers, etc. Finally, I highly recommend adding the pita chips to your bowl for a nice crunch. The price is about $12.

    The powerful teamwork of a great Cava Staff in Rockville Maryland.

    What an Awesome Cava location. I had a Cava bowl that was filled with so much life and colorful veggies. Plant life gives you life and gives energy. Eating a Veggie bowl have improved my circulation and overall health. I lost 10 pounds Eating a bowl 2 times a week and excercing lightly. The staff at the Rockville location "Rock"!! They are alway smiling and have a positive spirt. Their energy and great customer service always keep me coming for more. I must mention that this location are staffed with mostly female employees. Watch out guys, you better be nice to these women. They are taking over the world. This review was very well worth taking the time to share my positive experience with everyone. You should try this Cava location yourself for the experience and food. Have a safe and blessed day.

    I got so many ingredients

    I prepaid with the CAVA app last night to have it ready today at 11:00 AM. Excellent experience. The curbside pickup process was seamless. I called the number in the confirmation e-mail, and they even had an extension to dial (4) for curbside pickup so their crew members know what type of call it is. That's cool. My food was ready and bagged up and delivered to me by a friendly crew member within 30 seconds. I got like two meals worth for $13, but I totally devoured about 90% of it in the parking lot and thought to myself, what have I done, what have I become? COVID has made me give fewer damns about being gluttonous. It was just so so good. Every single ingredient down to the lettuce was perfect. The last bite was as scrumptious as the first. It was like 4 lbs of food (exaggeration). Amazing. They also gift you a free bowl for your birthday if you have the app. So download the app!

    Tons of free parking in front of shop. Accepts both cash and credit card. You can also earn points through their cava app. We came here during the weekend while in the area. Their layout is similar to other cava locations. The food is fresh, but customer service was a bit spotty. The cashier at the time charged me extra when I didn't order extra items. Luckily, the manager was there to refund me the difference. They do have plenty of tables here if you decide to eat inside. Wished the tables were more clean, but it was busy during the time.

    Last night I enjoyed some delicious food. I was able to build my own delicious bowl with their fresh ingredients. I'd love to walk you through the process, but sadly the process was a jumble for me. You see it was my first time there. I saw the the signs, understood the process, but the ingredients were unfamiliar to me. Of course, I asked the staff for help. That's logical, right? They was no line to speak of, still they were impatient. I didn't notice a name tag on the lady who didn't tell the names of ingredients and hurried put the ingredients in. The receipt shows the name of he cashier, who actually helped in the end. The cashier added dressing that was left out by the disconnected server as that server just laughed. My stomach happy while I am disappointed that service hasn't improved after consistent complaints. I may visit this location in the future believing in second chances.

    Greens and Grain and lemonade.
    Brandi B.

    Cava never disappoints. This was my first time trying this location and I was greeted with a warm welcome. The staff was friendly and moved quickly to fix everyone's food. The lemonade here was the best. If you're in the are and want something filling, flavorful, and quick.

    I stopped by here on my way home from the nearby climbing gym to grab a quick dinner. I love cava, but this location is not my favorite. Even at 9:30 pm there was somewhat of a wait to order food as they seemed busy and/or short-staffed. They were also out of several items as well as napkins. However, the deal-breaker for me was seeing a mouse scurry from under the dispenser with the napkins and utensils after a staff member went there to replenish the napkins. The mouse scurried to a little hole between the ground and the window (near the door), ran outside, then tried to return and finally ran away again. Later, as I sat outside eating my dinner, I saw it running around near the window/door area.

    I found a lady bug in my food.

    Not sure how I feel about this but I wasn't expecting to find a lady bug in my food. Especially since I was almost done.

    Have you ever loved a restaurant so much you went back twice in the same day? That was me here…read more This Pike & Rose gem in North Bethesda is everything you hope for in a neighborhood spot -- fresh, imaginative Mediterranean-inspired food, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and the kind of place you immediately start planning to revisit. Everything I tried was fantastic, from the perfectly prepared chicken kebabs to the cod with farro. The blackberry vodka cocktail was beautiful and delicious, and the saffron steamed milk with ginger for dessert was absolute perfection. The entire concept feels current, welcoming, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Can't wait to return the next time I'm back in town for meetings!

    I've had this booked marked for over two years and my cutie pie always says, "what is in this book…read moremark of yours", lol. Although he will lead most times, I pick one place every weekend so we can check it off together. This Friday (5/16) I picked Julii! He's a regular so although super packed they made it work and sat us immediately without a reservation. This place is popular and a reservation is needed. While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We arrived early evening still hot/sunny outside. We were asked upon entering if we had a reservation? We replied no didn't know you took reservations. We were then seated. The vibe inside looking around felt classy, cool & comfortable. The menu is quite extensive offering appetizers, entree salads, pastas, risottos & pizza. Our server explains w/confident enthusiasm pizza dough & pastas made fresh daily. We ordered roasted brussels sprouts w/bacon. Smoky crispy brussels sprouts, tender savory bacon. My friend ordered the Napoli Margarita Pizza-fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese & basil (top) in photo. I ordered Sausage Pizza-Roman-sausage, marinated red peppers mozzarella, and asiago cheese. Roman-is square shaped crust-think focaccia bread. Tender buttery flavor w/crispy edge, rich tasty sausage & tangy red peppers & creamy cheese. Delicious meal fresh ingredients. I ordered the Abe Berry Spritzer (elderberry aperol, prosecco) light refreshing fruity flavor. Complemented the richly flavored pizza. We both enjoyed our meal. Our attentive provided great customer service. As we left, looking around-the not so large restaurant had filled up w/people enjoying themselves. Yes worth another visit. See photos.

Two large chops prepared very well with a side of roasted potatoes that are also well prepared and delicious. And the side salad is a nice size and very fresh. For lunch, the portion is large enough that a person could eat half and save for later. Comes with pita bread. Falafel Bowl - it's a nice size bowl with rice, veggies (diced tomato, onion and pepper) , tzatziki, and hummus. The rice is outstanding. I don't know what they do to it, but it is uniform in texture and very flavorful. For me, the weak part was the falafel, which I found a bit hard and lacking in flavor. I likely will get the bowl again, but will get chicken, shrimp or salmon. The pita is decent. The counter workers are friendly and if you order to eat in they will bring the food to your table when it's ready. There's a fountain soda dispenser.
