    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.

    Build your own salad

    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.

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

    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 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

    I came here after church while visiting from Portland. I loooove cava but somehow it didn't live up to my memories of it. I got a honey harissa chicken bowl which I have gotten before and I ate the whole thing but wished it was more flavorful. The saffron rice also was way lighter than I remembered it being. The staff was fairly nice but nothing incredible. The wait wasn't too long for us in line. The space was clean and had lots of seating.

While the overall experience was enjoyable because of the atmosphere and service, I left feeling hungry and wishing the food had lived up to the setting. If you're looking for stunning views and a great atmosphere, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared for higher prices and smaller portions than you might expect.

    Look! I wrote it here, wanker!!…read more Thankfully this place has pictures of the food so you can point and grunt. So I feel safe posting cuz dbag doesn't read just has 8-pac abs-- still dumb tho Had to edit review bc he asked if they do catering as he always flies from UK to this dbag thing on Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley every year and always complains about the food and demanded me to call/ask if they do catering. 2 hours before the event Yo. No. Bro. Not same day, dick! He'd rather have anything off the menu from this place to cater with a 2 hr lead up to whatever the F Intl Paradise Valley finance bros do aside from making his best friend take "dictation". Emphasis on dick. Hahaha, satisfied? ---- Well-- this rich London asshole is back in town. "Cheap flights why not? We get 6 weeks holiday anyway just to start." Told me to write and rave again. Because he has servants to do all that- total knob. Word for word: "The second I am through customs, this is always my tradition for the lovely senoras marinating and cooking the best kebabs ever." Not quite AI/Google translate: My friend is the world's hugest snob and nob. This is the exact place you take your most high maintenaince Paradise Valley/Resorts off Camelback, Old Town clubbers. The world is a show. At least enjoy amazing Middle Eastern food cooked by the loveliest señors because latin don't mess around when it comes to marinade, bbq--- everything! Gracias mujeres for always making my UK friend give him a reason to live for!! He's totally going to hate me. But he can't move after how much he ordered!! You all always make him smile and laugh. Best part about today-- you even got a new customer in from Paris. I recommended Chicken Shwarma, Babba, Hummus, Greek salad--- mentioned douchebag London finance bro omg he is so lost in life if this place (no offense) is his 1st stop off the plane in America.

That tiny note is one of the great understatements in Scottsdale dining. What it really means is: bring people you like, clear your calendar, abandon moderation, and prepare for a full-scale feast. Eight of us booked it. At $200 per person before alcohol, and with a wine list good enough to encourage thoroughly defensible excess, this is not a casual dinner. But the first board hit the table and any concern about value disappeared. The charcuterie spread looked less like an appetizer and more like the catering plan for a small celebration: ribbons of prosciutto, mortadella, salami, sweet and spicy sausages, imported buffalo mozzarella, piles of cheeses, fruit, nuts, grilled peppers glossed with olive oil, toasted bread, and a large bowl full of premium Italian cheese made from the milk of Mediterranean water buffaloes - true "bufala." We barely made a dent in it. The single best bite I had all night may have been the simplest: bread, buffala, those peppers, and a generous fold of prosciutto. Salty, creamy, sweet, smoky, rich. One of those bites that shuts down conversation for a moment. Then came the pasta course: huge paccheri, almost obscenely generous, cooked exactly right and coated in a deep, meaty sauce that tasted as though it had been simmering all day for this exact purpose. There were grilled sausages too, plus a warm, fiery n'duja condiment that made an already indecent meal even more indecent. And then there was the arugula salad - simple, sharp, properly dressed, shaved with parmigiano, somehow good enough that later, when we went around the table naming favorite bites of the night, more than one person picked the salad. That tells you something important: this was not just abundance. This was abundance with standards. Then the pig arrived. Whole. Burnished. Beautiful. The skin was the kind of thing people spend years chasing and almost never find: not merely crisp, but shatteringly, absurdly crisp - paper-thin, glassy, almost like caramelized lacquer. Underneath was luscious, fatty, slow-roasted pork that managed to be rich without losing its structure. Put a piece of that skin on top of a little meat and rendered fat and the effect is almost unfair: the greatest pork imaginable riding on the greatest cracker ever made. The potatoes alongside were outrageous - roasted to that perfect point where the edges are savage and the interiors go soft, clearly acquainted with pork fat and every blessing it can bestow. The greens held their own. Nothing on the platter felt like an obligation. Everything deserved to be there. By then the table was already wrecked in the happiest possible way, and yet dessert still came out in what felt like a parade: chocolate - the sticky toffee kind, butterscotch budino, gelati, and more sweets than eight people had any business facing after everything that preceded them. It was excessive, theatrical, and completely in keeping with the meal. The kitchen had chosen its thesis early - pleasure without apology - and saw it through to the end. What made this dinner memorable was not just the scale, though the scale was frankly ridiculous. We all left with full bags of leftovers, each one loaded with containers from different courses, and it still felt as though the meal could have fed another full table. Plenty of restaurants can overwhelm you with quantity. Very few can do it while making each component feel like the best version of itself. The mozzarella. The peppers. The pasta. The salad. The pig skin. The potatoes. The luxurious pudding. Nothing felt like filler. Nothing felt mailed in. This meal felt like Thanksgiving, Easter, a wedding dinner, and a fiftieth anniversary feast all rolled into one, then tightened up by a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing. It was glorious, yes, but more importantly it was precise. If you have six to eight people who genuinely love to eat, book the whole suckling pig dinner at Virtù Honest Craft. It is one of the great shared feasts I have ever had anywhere. It's my new death penalty meal.
