    Make your own bowl/wrap style which is a good fast casual option when you rather not have fast food. The different sauces and dips are better fresh than if you order for delivery. The food quality can vary in my experience and I have had better luck the earlier in the day I go. There is typically a lunch rush at this location between 12-2. The inside seating can get full but there's a few small tables outside.

    I LOVE CAVA!! I am from Portland Oregon where we do not have a cava (yes I've cried about it and reached out to corporate). This is the perfect fast casual meal. The honey harissa chicken is perfectly spicy and flavorful. I love the saffron rice with spinach and arugula. I added tomatoes with cucumber, more tomatoes, corn, and more cucumber. The cucumber was almost out and the server spooned the last of the cucumber in but didn't drain any juice. I would definitely caution against that but I don't get any sauce so I guess it worked out pretty well. I really wish I could have this twice a week. I will continue to cry to corporate until Portland gets a Cava.

    I think I found a new favorite! Everything is fresh, flavorful, clean, and delicious! The menu bowls and the build your own options are all fabulous! 100% can not go wrong! The whole place was clean and well stocked. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable! This was my first (of what will be MANY) visits and she talked me through the process and menu and add on options. 1000% recommend for a filling, fresh, healthy meal.

    Stopped by CAVA for lunch on a weekday and man it was busy! If you can order ahead, please do so on the app - they're quick! My husband ordered on the app and had his food quickly while I had to wait in line. Regardless, once I was at the front I got a half salad half grains bowl with all the fixings. Food was tasty and enjoyable but not hot enough (proteins and grains). The bowl of food was large so I took it to go but when I ate it later I had really bad stomach cramps. Perhaps leftovers don't sit well... Unfortunately, their soda machine was not working but they did have their signature lemonades/teas available. There was plenty of seating and many smiling faces as they enjoyed their lunch.

    They rushed me down the line and only gave me two of the three sauces. When I asked for the third, the staff member let out a deep sigh, as if annoyed, and roughly pushed the sauce into the cup. On top of that, they forgot to give me pita bread, and I wish I could have asked for feta, but they didn't give me the option. Everything else was good, though! Maybe slow down a bit on the line. I understand they were prepping, but it came across as unwelcoming.

    Taste was okay. Had to finish eating it with a fork. Service was good. Got everything for about $16 with military discount. Ambiance good. Seating was clean.

    I was blown away at this place. 1. It was very quick so your food is hot and fresh when you get it. 2. All of the employees were really nice and helpful with selections. 3. I ordered 3 meals for about $36 and I thought it was an amazing deal. My wrap filled me up: falafel, sweet and spicy chicken, cabbage, and corn with some sauce. My bf's was great: the falafel wrap with everything minus pickles. My friend got a bowl: I don't remember what was on it but they enjoyed it. 4. Place was really clean and I enjoyed eating there. I have no bad things to say about this place!

    Sad. No roasted veggies, barely any toppings and iceberg lettuce when I asked for romaine. They forgot my dressings and free pita. Pathetic

    THIS COMPANY IS THE WORST. They refuse to issue refunds when they completely got 2 orders wrong and then said they gave me a credit but didn't. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    I've heard about Cava, about how it's like Chipotle but with Mediterranean food. When a coworker suggested it, I was looking forward to try it. Leslie and I met for lunch this past Friday. We beat the rush for lunch so I took my time to look at all the options. I had a mix of Splendidgreens and saffron basmati rice, 2 scoops of tzatziki, 1 scoop of red pepper hummus, grilled chicken, spicy lamb, cucumber, corn and lemon herb tahini. I truly loved my bowl! Everything was so tasty! I'm so glad I asked for extra dressing. Can't have enough of the lemon herb tahini! I now want to bring my Dad and husband to try it too. I loved the Blueberry Lavender drink.

    Overall great place! Food was very good! Like a Mediterranean chipotle style eatery. Choose your veg, protein, sides, and seat. Plenty of choices a tad bit more expensive than I'd think. I got the falafel and stewed lamb, drink and pitas $22. Atmosphere was not bad, booths and tables, good mix of people and chill/calm. 7.5/10

    Be careful with the "create a bowl" option they added charges for rice and a protein ~$15.50, whereas the chicken bowl was ~$10.

    My husband made our dinner reservation six weeks ago, for a post-graduation family celebration, and…read morehe chose perfectly! Our twelve guests ranged in age from 14-79 years, and everyone had a wonderful experience. We began with waters for the table, soft drinks, and cocktails/mocktails (Man Walks into a Bar, Amba No. 5, Don Alberto, Green Shug Collins). Due to our large party, we had booked a chef's tasting experience, which was spectacular. The appetizers were plentiful, flavorful, and unique. Our server, Anissa, did a wonderful job of explaining each dish-- its components, highlights, even suggesting that after finishing the beef dumplings, we stir the oil and yogurt together for an amazing pita dipping sauce. Our meal included four meats-- actually five, considering an off menu chef's creation for our pescatarian guest. It was such an immersive experience, I never took out my phone to capture photos of the food (or our group, sadly). Three desserts topped off the evening. When (not if) we return, we'll certainly request Anissa again. She made the evening a complete delight, even bringing out celebratory candles for our honored guests.

So we went for the $65 pp Table of Joy. Everything was tasty, the pita bread served blazing hot is a stand out. Our first course options were hummus and Hungarian feta with Aleppo pepper. Both very tasty but not terribly creative choices I thought. Then a bean salad arrived. Again tasted very nice, a nice cold bean salad. Saffron chicken skewer and a pork souvlaki skewer. Pork was quite tough, although a very nice char. Chicken was tender and the orzo pasta was very interesting. Dessert was chocolate pudding with some edible flowers, dill, sesame seed and small cookies crumbles on top. Yes, it all tasted very good. Service attentive. Nice ambiance. However I was expecting more for our $200 ( 2 Table of Joy, 2 beers and a Turkish coffee). Not more food, the portions were not an issue, but something more creative. Something that would change my impression of Mediterranean cuisine. I can get hummus, feta & skewers at any number of much more reasonably priced Mediterranean restaurants. Even taking into account 'The Pearl mark up', in the end I can't say I'm impressed. Disappointed we spent that much money. Can't recommend this to friends or family.

We left quite stuffed and extremely satisfied. It was a nice day so we ate outside but the interior was very pleasant and was filled with diners even at 2 pm.

    I came to this new spot (3 months open) on Sunday to check out the new kids, and I am so glad I…read moredid. Upon entry, my guest and I were greeted promptly and invited to sit anywhere we liked. My guest and I immediately noticed the traditional Turkish aromatics that filled the establishment. The waitress who tended to our table was engaging and explained the menu in depth as well as vouched for the food's authenticity. As my guest and I wanted to try multiple menu items, we elected to order the dishes that offered an array of food. Appetizer: Cold Platter This dish included hummus, babaganoush, dolma, ezme, and piyaz. The plater was properly "stacked" with the flavors of the app. going from "punchy" to mild. The piyaz was a perfectly balanced white bean salad packed with Mediterranean flavors. This combination of white beans, tomatoes, onions, and parsley was simple and yet deliciously satisfying! The dolma on this dish was a perfect combination of filling vegetables, grape seeds, Rumex, hornbeam, and quince leaves, with a kick of lemon. The babaganoush was light and refreshing. The simple combination of roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt is something that is not to be missed if you are looking for a vitamin packed dip. The Ezme "mashed" was made mainly with tomatoes, cucumber, and olive oil and packed a little punch, which most likely was accredited to the peppers. Main: Hot Mixed Platter This dish included meatballs, chicken, beef, and lamb (doner) atop veggies and rice. All the meats on the plate were seasoned to perfection and tender. My guest and I ate the meats so quickly that I am not able to appropriately describe the flavors other than with the a word, "delectable". Dessert: Dessert Platter This platter had a sampling of Tiramisu, čupavci, KÜnefe, and Baklava. Although the čupavci and KÜnefe looked great, I couldn't eat them as they both are made with coconuts (to which I am allergic). I actually took a bite of the KÜnefe before I realized that it had coconut shavings in it. With this dessert, the cheese is arranged between two layers of Kadayıf (shredded phyllo), cooked until golden, and soaked in a sweet syrup. The čupavci (sponge cake) was soaked in chocolate sauce, then dipped in unsweetened, shredded coconut. Fun fact: Čupavci means "furry" because of the fuzzy surface the coconut provides, which I learned when I visited Turkey many years ago. Java Folks who read my reviews know that I am a java junkie. So, of course, I requested the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is prepared with more water than its Italian counterparts and is meant to be sipped rather than drunk quickly like a shot. There is also a tradition of reading the grinds at the bottom of the cup to tell fortunes, known as tasseography. Turkish coffee cups are small, similar to the size of an espresso cup, but with a rich history of their own. This coffee is prepared traditionally and provided a much needed pick me up. This family restaurant has authentic quality food and the highest level of service. If in the area, this locally owned spot is worth a try. Total for the meal before tip $89.00 #supportlocal

From…read morethe moment you walk in, the space does something to you -- warm lighting, tufted banquettes, burgundy velvet chairs with gold legs, and a ceiling panel with intricate geometric lattice work straight out of a Moroccan riad. It doesn't feel like a strip mall restaurant. It feels intentional. The pastry case alone deserves its own review. Piped butter cookies, rose-dotted squares dusted with cardamom, delicate filled rolls -- it's the kind of display that makes you order dessert before you've even sat down. And then the food. The chicken shawarma bowl is not playing around -- seasoned chicken, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, creamy garlic sauce over a bed of greens, finished with cracked pepper. Every bite is layered and bold. The kind of meal that makes you pause mid-fork and just appreciate it. What sets Tripoli's apart isn't just the food or the ambiance. It's that the whole experience feels curated. Like someone who actually loves this culture built this place and meant every single detail. San Antonio has been sleeping on this gem. Wake up!!

The ambiance was great, everything from the decorative rugs, Arab writing on the wall, tagine pottery and brass crafts were perfectly displayed. The tabbouleh salad was very tasty, it had the right amount of ingredients making it pretty as well as colorful placed in the neat brass metal bowl. Now with the things that require immediate remedial attention: 1. The burger was overrated, overcooked and dry. 2. The chick pea salad lacked chick peas, dressing, onions and feta cheese. 3. The lamb Kofta plate was prepared right however, it was not enough meat for the price and the cream sauce tasted like straight butter with a hint of garlic. The pita bread was lukewarm and looked like it had been unwrapped, quartered and thrown in a microwave for 30 seconds prior to serving it. 4. Drinks Ordered: The Cafe' Arabia was very tasty BUT, I didn't get it until we were almost done with our meal. We ordered drinks when we were first seated so that was a big red flag. My wife also ordered the Moroccan mint teapot and she didn't get it until after I got my coffee. I told the barista/waiter to cancel it when I got my coffee but he said it was also ready for us and could put it in a to-go cup for her. That kind of defeated the whole experience of drinking tea while waiting for our meal. 5. The service was really slow. Took over 15 minutes to get our (tap) waters and 20 minutes for our food when we were the only ones in the restaurant until we had placed our order. 6. The waitress needs some serious people skills and bussing training to know how to serve food and drinks. She touched the tops of the glasses her fingers. She didn't greet us and practically dropped the plates on the table when she brought them out. To add insult to injury, she put the handheld pay device on the table without asking us if we wanted or needed anything else. My kids wanted to try out some desserts, so luckily for us, the nearby HEB has plenty to offer. I had high hopes for this place because of what the owner posted on Instagram and it is so close to our neighborhood. Guess we will have to continue driving further into the city to other Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern restaurants that have better food and service.
