What a total disappointment. I used to eat this every week almost 2014-2016 while dieting because it tasted good and there was less fat in the food. But so much has changed even from maybe a year ago i had it. Now, vegetable serving is like 1/3 of what it used to be. Chicken tastes like an overpriced small serving of wood chips dipped in oil with way too much seasonings that don't taste like anything. They also added fats to the cabage now. 11g fat on chicken that has no flavor! I'd never pay for this. I wanna eat my meal with 1-2g fat with way better flavor. I'm no expert cook, but chicken thighs are so easy to flavor since they're already higher fat. I love eating my chicken breast no fat added and way better flavor. Needless to say, I would never pay for this. read more

UPDATE: One year later and it's still one of my favorite places to eat. I usually order ahead and today the manager I'm assuming was working the counter. Extremely friendly even though we had a brief encounter read more

Cava - Grain Bowl with brown rice, meatball, tomato and cucumber, feta cheese and pita. Green vinaigrette sauce on the side - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I have been a customer at this Cava for almost a decade! The food is Mediterranean style, I always love getting a brown rice and super greens bowl. I usually order this, with harissa, tzatziki, and red pepper hummus, along with the meat/poultry choices of half spicy lamb meat balls and half spicy honey-harissa chicken, picked onions, feta, cucumbers & tomatoes, corn, and shkug sauce to top it off. The staff is always welcoming, patient, friendly and polite to me! I especially love Juley S.'s warm energy every time I visit - She's my cashier!! Super accomodating with a charismatic face and smile! They're lucky to have her!! 10/10 recommend! read more

I went to CAVA yesterday with my boyfriend. The team quickly crafted our orders and was compliant with the COVID guidelines that are in place in Montgomery County. Since it was my first time at CAVA, I can definitely say that I will be going back some time in the future because the portion size was just right and I definitely enjoyed the food and the prices were not too bad. If you are looking for a grab and go lunch or dinner, definitely check out CAVA. There is ample FREE parking as well as friendly staff! read more

The employees are great, they seem happy to be working there, and give great service each time. The food is always fresh, and the line moves quick. Always love the bowls I get from Cava! read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I am glad they opened a CAVA here, so I don't have to go to Roti anymore (although Roti does have the better free pita). I usually order the mixed bowl with the SuperGreens and the brown basamati rice. I add the eggplant + red pepper dip, hummus, and roasted red pepper hummus. Then I get the grilled chicken, pickled onions, cabbage slaw, pita crisps, tomato + cucumber salad, pickled banana peppers, olives, quinoa, and the radishes. Finally for the dressings, I ask for the lemon herb tahini and spicy lime tahini. This combination is delicious, and I recommend ordering it this way. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Also I recommend downloading the app, but get someone's referral link first to receive $3 off your first order. read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

This Cava Grill is located on Shady Grove Road, in the newly built shopping center across from Home Depot and Nordstrom Rack. There is some parking available in front of the restaurant, but it is limited. It can get packed during the weekend. I am a big fan of the Cava Grill chain and this location is comparable to other locations in the DMV. Customers order a base, dips (up to 3 included with purchase), protein, toppings and dressing. I usually order the following: Base: Brown Rice Dips: 2 scoops of Harissa and 1 scoop of Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Protein: Falafel Toppings: Pita Chips & Quinoa Dressing: Spicy Harissa The setup inside this location is a little odd. The seating does not accommodate large parties, you can't push tables together either because it is nailed to the ground. At most a party of four could be accommodated. I visit this location often and staff have always been friendly :) read more

Ordered for pickup and they pretty much skimp on every ingredient possible. The dip scoops were non-existent and the bowl was only half full with ingredients. I ordered two dresses on top but you could barely see and taste the dressing. My order was ready pretty quickly, about 6 minutes before the pick up time. I wouldn't go here again unless I ordered in person. Hopefully they give you more food. read more

I really like this CAVA new location. The space is nice and clean, the staff is always helpful and smiling and the food is consistently on point! I like CAVA's concept overall and I think variety of ingredients and the food they offer has been well thought and it honestly satisfies my Mediterranean food cravings, as you know Mediterranean (especially Greek food) is one of my favorites. I've been there quite a few times since they opened and I haven't been let down. I think management is doing a good job keeping their team happy and that reflects to the customers. I hope they keep it up! read more

A Perfect 5 stars! Cava is the full package such as my favorite Mediterranean cuisine items, meals are prepared quickly, fresh & healthy ingredients, and delicious drinks to pair up with their meals. I eat there on a weekly basis and mix up my meals with different protein sources such as falafel, braised lamb, braised beef, and their meatballs. Then they have a great spread of sauces such as lemon herb tahini, yogurt dill, and their vinegarette that accompanies their braised lamb & beef soooooo very well! With so many options of salad, rice, hummus, veggies, proteins, and sauces I just never get tired of this place! read more

This is my absolute favorite CAVA location in the DMV! Their food is consistently fresh, the employees are friendly, the in house made juices are delicious, and there's actually a fair amount of parking. I usually get the rice bowl, falafel or chicken, and then pile on the veggies and it never fails to satisfy me. Most of the times they are not stingy with their toppings, so I usually have half the bowl left over for later as well. If you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner that's healthy, fresh, and delicious, this is the place. read more

Impressed with how bad the customer service is here. Of the six employees working the front, one may have smiled at customers in the 20minutes or so we were there- the rest of communication was based on eye rolling, evident skepticism and side eye. They were rude, didn't listen when we said what we'd like, and one actually just dropped the bowl and walked away to start another order mid-sentence (my sentence). Food quality remains good. Probably not coming back to this location. There is a Honeygrow next door if your in the area and need a healthy fix. read more

Watch out Chipotle and Qdoba, Cava is coming.... Cava is simply awesome. To set expectations, it's fast food Mediterranean not Mexican, but the model is similar, you build a bowl or a Pita vs a burrito (check out the pic of the menu). The only difference is the food is so much better in taste, quality and health. I would eat there over many sit down restaurants, it's that good. The watch point is the Harissa it's really really spicy. Watch out if spicy hot is not your thing. The bowl is big enough for two people and comes with as many free small pitas as you want. The large "build your own" pita is big enough for two as well. I commend the place on how fresh everything tastes and the consistency of food and experience between the two Cava's we ate at while visiting DC. I have to say biggest surprise and fun aspect of the place is the lemonade bar(see pic). The lemonade is really good. My son goes just for the lemonade when he is thirsty. The fun part, if you top it off before you leave (no ice, add it when you get home), and can actually not drink any before you get home, take your favorite mix and add Vodka. Instant Cava party. I cannot wait for Cava to come to NC. read more

Yummy like all other CAVA's! They could put a bit more labels of what each protein and topping is for those who have never been or don't go often. that way the people serving does not have to say what each one is. they had some labels for some of the options but could use more! When i walked in there were many people standing around who looked unsure what to do. i love their strawberry mint drink! so refreshing and not too sweet. wish they added more meatballs per bowl. 4 meatballs is not enough for such a generous bowl! But staff were all very friendly and would yell hello to everyone who walked in! For those who have no clue what this place is... its a Mediterranean style fast chain where you go down the line and pick what kind of bowl you want. either with greens or grains or both! then you pick dippings, proteins, veggies, and toppings. mix and match what you like! could take a couple of tries to get your favorite combo! i like the location because there is easy parking in a lot as opposed to those places that are making garages that you have to pay for parking. but its right off the pike! read more

Basically the Mediterranean version of Chipotle-style fast casual. Everything I put in my bowl works well when mixed together and was tasty! The chicken had a char taste to it which tasted better than in Chipotle. Love how you can mix basmati rice and green salad in your bowl. Pita bread comes on the side upon request and I would just dip it in the scoops of hummus you can put in your bowl. Minus 1 star because this place can be pricey. I would go more often if it a bit cheaper. Also, the price for 1 falafel ball and 1 side pita was overpriced @ $0.75. The falafel ball tasted average...middle eastern style taste better. read more

This was my go-to Cava during the pandemic for pickup. I don't know what happened, but in 2022 it has been horrible. My pickup order is never right and I'm reminded what it used to be every time I go to the one by my office. read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

The locations in Rockville sucks, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone... n I love cava but the food over is tasteless

On 10/4/20 ( 5:00 pm) we went to Cava to purchase a takeout. While my wife waited in line I used the men's restroom. I was shocked to see the dirty condition. There was liquid on the floor and no paper towels. I also saw that the trash bin in front of the restaurant was overflowing and no trash could be added. read more

I came here for lunch only to find the customer service made me lose my appetite. I walk in and was greeted with bad attitude and rude faces towards me. I asked to speak to the manager afterwards to discuss my poor experience and she was even worse. She is the bad example rubbing off on her employees. I will not be coming back and will let friends and family know not to come here as well. read more

This is the chipotle of Mediterranean salad's. No seriously, the chicken tastes exactly the same as Chipotle's chicken. They also have the same ordering inventory line style method. I LOVE their lemon tahini sauce. It is to die for. I like to keep it simple with my order. Half arugula/spinach half brown rice with chicken, romaine, pita chips and lemon tahini sauce. I don't know about all the other extra stuff but my salad is THE BOMB! I also love their drinks sweetened with cane sugar. My manager introduced me to Cava and I have been obsessed ever since!! read more

CAVA is by-far my favorite of the chipotle-like stores - and I'm not someone who likes raw salad. Perhaps that is why I like CAVA - it doesn't taste like raw salad. There are no other places where you can get such a large volume of low calorie-density great tasting food for $10. Personally, I enjoy lentils. Give me supergreens, lentils, harisa, all the fixins and Shiracha Greek yogurt and I'm on cloud 9. Why don't more places have lentils? They have a rewards program through LevelUp. When you hit $1000 in cumulative spending you get invited to Cava events supposedly, read more

Cava is a yummy place for sure. My love for their pita breads go beyond what I thought they would be. The amount they give one is what is awesome about the place. Literally enough for 2 days! read more

This location is ok, the staff could be more friendly and less trying to rush people through the line. I would suggest being a little more patient with customers who are not familiar with the restaurant, I felt very bad for the two older ladies who were in front of me. It was also odd to see food workers with out mask during covid especially with numbers going up. read more

I really like this whole concept at cava. I love how many different kinds of vegetables there are. I added the chicken for my protein, but I'd like to go back and try the other protein options too. I'm a big fan of red cabbage so I'm super excited about having that as a topping. I love vegetables so I would highly recommend cava to my fellow vegetable lovers out there. They also have really cool juice too. I tried the watermelon mint which was very refreshing and much better than the sodas that are served at most places. read more

Never been a fan of this location. Writing a review because I ordered through the app and when I got home I found half my toppings were missing and my boyfriend got a topping he didn't order. The only reason I picked up from this location was because I misclicked on the app. Food tastes fine but the workers need to pay more attention to the orders. read more

The food here is quick, tasty, and very filling. Similar set-up to a Chipotle or a Qdoba. Everything was very fresh, including the protein options. The great thing is that the toppings aren't extra, and in the end you get a super satisfying meal. The price is good for the quality of the food you receive. Unlike a lot of fast food salads, not only are the bowls filling but you can also save them for eating later. Great for a quick and pleasant lunch or dinner! read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

they skipped the pita bread that's included in the meal. When i asked for it, they gave the regular one instead for the free one. I asked if it was included, the staff who didn't understand English nodded. Then she charged me for it. I told them I don't want it since it's not included. She still does not understand and got the owner. Who did not want to return my money and kept on saying "you asked for it". They either truly don't understand English or pretend to so they don't have to return my money. read more

I love CAVA. In my opinion one of the best Mediterranean concepts. 4 stars because they don't make their pita bread from scratch. read more

I love CAVA and buy their products at Whole Foods too! My complaint is about this particular location. The new building is nice, everything inside is new. The thing that bothers me is the lack of uniformity in serving size. Sometimes I get a hearty bowl and sometimes like this afternoon I get a bowl that's only half way full. It seems that the serving size depends on the employee serving the meal. I'd like to see consistency in the serving size. It was very disappointing this afternoon. read more

Worst CAVA location I've been to yet. Portions are less than 2/3 of any CAVA I have visited, they don't include the small pita like most others do and seating space is seriously limited. Absolutely not worth the price here. Taste was on par with the others, but talk about being skinflints when it comes to value on the portion....this isn't the place to be for that. Will not return. read more

Love love love this place ! When I lived and worked in Gaithersburg we had a Cava and despite all the wonderful produce and fresh organic stuff all year round in my area of N Cali - we don't have a Cava (yet) so whenever I am back in MD/DC I seek these places out. Glad to find this new one and as usual it didn't disappoint. Wish the crew wasn't trying to shut it down by 9 AM (even the outside light was shut off) but there was a steady stream of folks after my arrival and there is a reason - great fresh food, solid flavors and fair portions for the $$$. The lamb tonight was not as good as I usually remember it but all the rest of the greens and salads and toppings usually slay it and tonight they did. Keep staying open until 10 PM on a weeknight and for god sakes open some stores in SF, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Redwood City and such ! My hood needs you CAVA! read more

Please note that my order of $32 on Thursday night gave me food poisoning the entire night. Please make sure tiur food is clean and not contaminated with ecoli bacteria I beg you. read more

in terms of fast casual food and customizing what you put in your food, cava meets that need. they have salad or rice, meat or falafels, dips, and a huge selection of toppings. they have a big selection of drinks to mix and match. food quality and portions size does vary a bit depending on location and hour. i find the cava at shady grove is most consistent during lunch hours. food ordering from their website is ok. read more

I have been ordering via Uber eats and they literally always get my order wrong,it's either something missing or they add the wrong items. At first I thought it was not a big deal but it's starting to get annoying to always get the wrong foods. I do love cava very much but this is upsetting read more

I'm new to CAVA and this location does not disappoint. I've been here 3 times and the staff has always been kind and very helpful to newcomers. I have no complaints and actually prefer this location to the ones closer to me. Ample parking and no wait time. Highly recommend! read more

I have been to every Cava in the DMV area and the Rockville location beats them all. The customer service is immaculate! Veronica, Ana, Marlyn, Cathryn and Juna are the friendliest and most helpful employees I've ever experienced at any Cava. They go above and beyond to make sure your experience is the absolute best. They don't just make your food, they talk to you and know how to brighten your day. I recommend the Rockville Cava to everyone who wants the top-notch Cava experience. Thank you Cava Rockville for being so wonderful. Your efforts do not go unnoticed! Be back very soon! Evangeline Pergantis read more

Went back because the manager asked me to give it another chance. Got the same thing as last time and The food was spectacular this time and I even got one of those salty chocolate chip cookies...HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Going late at night rather than lunch rush hour is WAY better because there's less people and the employees are more willing to give you some extra food ;) DONT FORGET TO ASK FOR PITA ON THE SIDE! Very yummy, instead of getting a pita bread base, get a grain base and get pita on the side! read more
