    Mediterranean fast food. Fresh ingredients with build your own bowls. Different proteins, like chicken, lamb and steak. Rices and veggies as well. Lots of toppings, sides and spice levels. Helpful staff. Can eat inside or take out.

    Custom Greens + Grains Bowl

    Awesome mediterranean food! Custom bowl is my go-to. Staff was extremely polite and helpful - I was assisted by Ellie & Quincy

    This is my second time here and I teally liked the food the first time. I thought the porttion was good for the price. Since they usually have a long line to order in person, I placed an online order. I am very disappointed with my build your own salad. The portion is so small and it looks like they just threw things in the bowl. I noticed they have at least ten to go orders made right now. That is probably why my salad didn't get the attention I was hoping for. I am actually angry that I paid $11.75 for hardly any food. I will not be back. This is a waste of my money and now I will be very hungry soon. I am diabetic and look for healthy food with large portions to carry me through the day. Edited to add: While I was eating in the restaurant, I noticed customers who ordered in person getting a out double the portion in their salads. I am tired of the inconsistencies at food establishments. This is a main reason I have cut back significantly on eating out.

    I enjoy the occasional Mediterranean food at CAVA nearby, and last night, I went to pick up dinner for my wife and me. She knew that she wanted a greens & grain bowl while I planned to get a pita. Both were build-your-own dishes. While the staff were very nice, I experienced a long line and dishes that continued to need to be refilled. The food tasted great but it took a long while to get, and due to some miscommunication, I was charged for an extra main dish. After the line slowly moved and I got to the first ordering area, I mentioned the bowl and pita I planned to order. My wife told me to order her falafel and to add some roasted vegetables and other sides to the bowl. I always planned to order grilled chicken for myself. They were out of the grilled chicken and roasted vegetables. I waited for a while for both to be refilled and added the tzatziki and hummus and other sides. When being billed, I didn't realize that the roasted veggies were another main dish, and at the point, I was unable to make any changes. Then again, it was my mistake for not knowing this so I've learned my lesson there. When I got home and we ate, the meal was delicious. I was still concerned about the long line and the food continuing to run out and need to wait a while to replace it. I would think the staff would be prepared to continue to replace what is about to run out very quickly (though perhaps this is why there was a long line to begin with). The North Scottsdale location is one of the seven locations of CAVA in Arizona. It offers pick-up, delivery, and dine-in. The restaurant hours are daily from 10:30 AM to 10 PM except for Thursday when it is closed. You can read more about the location at https://cava.com/locations/north-scottsdale-az. Also on the website, you can order online, see the menu, get a gift card, order catering, There is also the CAVA Rewards (https://cava.com/rewards) where if you join, you can get free delivery on your first order of $15 or more. There are three statuses each with different benefits. They also have a status match to earn the highest CAVA status (Sun) for a limited period of time. Again, I enjoyed the food and appreciate the CAVA loyalty program and benefits; however, this location needs some work to shorten lines by being more proactive in refilling dishes and keeping the lines moving. I am hoping that this is different in the future when I find myself back at this location again.

    Some cool teas

    I had a quick and late lunch at Cava today and it was my first time there. I was able to park easily very close to the door. Only one person was in line ahead of me giving time to study the menu. It's a great menu as every item had the calories listed. I chose their new garlicky chicken Shawarma bowel and a soft drink which was the Mexican coke- sugar free. The bowl was not large but the taste was amazing. They had a recommended sauce and I declined the additional hot sauce with spices. In its place I chose their yogurt sauce. The two together were so very good with the garlicky chicken shawarma bowel. I spent about $18 plus tip. I may make this a regular spot for lunch. It is very simple with not a lot of items on the menu. The food is really good. The decor is comfortable for a fast food establishment.

    Finally tried CAVA for the first time and I liked it. This place is like Chipotle but with mediterranean food. You can get a build-your-own bowl or pita where you can pick your base with grains/greens, protein, 3 dips (such as hummus, tzatziki, etc.), toppings, and dressings. They also have set bowls you can choose from. Price came out to $16 for the bowl and drink, and it was good. I hope they open more locations because this location was suuuuuper busy at lunch on a weekday.

    Grilled green chicken pita. Fresh is the first word I think of To describe cava. Great flavors and sauce options. I'm pretty sure I could eat here everyday

    Food was old, rice was stuck in clumps, avocado was black. The lunch staff are rude as hell. Won't be back.

    Food 4 stars Value 3 stars Customer service 0 stars Had a terrible experience this afternoon during a business lunch. Got to the register to check out and asked for two water cups. The employee said "their order of water cups did not come in but I could sell you a bottled water or a drink". I asked if I could just have one of the small plastic cups they use for fountain drinks and she refused. The manager "Liz "came out and reiterated the same thing. Zero customer service, passing along their incompetence in ordering to their customers. All to save $0.10. I hope it's worth it! Won't be back

    For those craving Mediterranean flare or a healthy alternative to fast food, CAVA is a great spot to try. Vegetarians will feel at home. You can craft your own bowls or pita or select one of the chef's curated ones. I love the spicy greens bowl. It's loaded with plant-based ingredients. There is also an assortment of handmade teas and lemonade available. The inside is fairly big and can accommodate parties of four or more. Accessible entrance and parking. Pickup & delivery are options as well.

We brought family from out of town and had a party of 11 (six adults and five kids). There was a long wait, which we completely understood. We spent the time at the bar where the service was excellent, and the kids browsed the nearby shops. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the experience went downhill. Our server seemed to have little sense of urgency. Everything took an unusually long time, but the biggest issue was the food, which took well over an hour despite being a very simple order of burgers, sandwiches, and other basic menu items. Throughout the wait, we watched tables seated after us receive their food and leave while we were still waiting. The most frustrating part was the lack of communication. Rather than checking in or providing an update, our server was frequently visible chatting with coworkers and rolling silverware. When our food finally arrived, it was at best room temperature, making it seem like it had been sitting for quite a while before being brought to the table. We asked to speak with a manager, who said she would look into it, but never returned to follow up. That lack of acknowledgment or accountability was even more disappointing than the delay itself. We declined the offer of dessert because we needed to get the kids home, yet instead of bringing the check promptly, our server spent additional time clearing the table before finally processing our payment. As someone who has worked as a server, I understand that delays happen and kitchens get backed up. What makes the difference is communication, ownership, and making guests feel like their time matters. None of that happened here. It's unfortunate because we've had good experiences in the past, but this visit left us embarrassed that we chose this restaurant to host visiting family.

The spritz we were able to try was the smashed cucumber, it was so refreshing & came in massive glasses. Parking was a breeze as there is tons of street parking around the hotel.

I ordered the Mediterranean mezze platter which was super refreshing with shrimp & fulfilling with the softest pita bread.

She didn't seem to want 6 of us to eat. Then we were sat at a table right next to the bar area that had a couple patrons that were SO loud. The restaurant was empty so we have no clue why they had to sit us there. The manager walked by a few times and didn't even acknowledge us. He'd meet our eyes and he looked super angry. The busser came by and gave us water about 5 min after we sat. At 315- the server that I watched laughing and doing nothing at the bar came over and finally asked if we needed anything. When I told her that we were actually leaving because it had been several minutes- she looked at me and was like it's only been like 5. No maam we walked in at 3 and now it's 316. Went to elephante instead. As a retired server myself- there were so many mistakes here. If you are busy, you still need to acknowledge people. As the manager when you see a table just sitting there talk to them instead of cleaning the table in front of us. Truly felt like it was because we had 3 12 year olds with us. Not sure if I will ever go back.
