The food quantity in the bowls feels like it's halved in the past few months. We've been regulars at Cava all year; but have noticed that the portions have gotten a lot skimpier the past few times. It feels like fleecing and is very disappointing. Especially since we love the food so much. I don't think we'll be going back as often as a result. read more

I love cava!! Obsessed with the shkug dressing especially! But also this location is amazing, all the workers are so nice..thank you Maria and Evy for serving me so close to closing!! read more

W food, W workers! I love cava so much and come here with all my friends all the time!

what happened? when it first opened this place was just went there and the morale of the workers has majorly dropped. is it new management? Also why do you have to beg for your side pita (supposed to come with bowl) you have to ask like 2 times for it (is it made of gold?) read more

My first Cava experience. Food was really good and fresh and Evy was super helpful walking me through all the different options. Would definitely return here :) read more

My first time actually ordering food they were really helpful and were very sweet! Our server Evy was awesome! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

JESSIE WAS AMAZING!! made the experience 10 times better and i think made the food taste better. He has such a bright personality! it was only my second time ever at cava so i was a little confused at first but he guided me through everything and gave great recommendations. he should give lessons on good customer service because he is the blueprint!! read more

wow! this cava has really impressed me. whoever the management is at this location is really doing a good job on making sure that cava is up to par. it's super clean and nice. not busy or chaotic when I came. everything was organized and put together and not a hot mess like the one in burbank. i was craving cava yesterday after the gym and this location is now my new favorite spot. when i walked in, i noticed how nicely organized everything was, the ingredients were all fresh, the proteins were filled to the top, the buckets of sauces weren't empty. everything was nicely put out for customers to choose from. the counter tops were so clean and not messy with left over lettuce everywhere. the gentleman who helped put my bowl together was friendly with a smile on his face. no attitude what so ever. the gentleman at the cashier was wonderful as well. put my order together in a bag with my drink so fast, I didn't even notice he put my cup in the bag. he was very on point. i appreciate people like those two gentlemen's. i love that all of the drinks were filled up and there was actually ice in the ice machine. did not have one issue at this location. i was in n out with less than 5 mins! read more

I love Cava! My biggest complaint has been that I have to drive out of my way to get to one. That is no longer one of my problems since they recently opened a new location here in Sherman Oaks. If you're not familiar with Cava, imagine Chipotle but instead it's Mediterranean food. Kinda funny because this location actually shares a wall with Chipotle. You go through the line choosing your base, protein, hummus and toppings. Don't forget to ask for your complimentary pita with your bowl! They will not give it to you if you don't ask. So this is not blow your mind Mediterranean food but everything here is delicious. The ability to customize your meal makes it so that you are getting the meal that YOU want. There are plenty of vegan options here. The inside feels like a chain restaurant so I usually just order to go. The food usually holds pretty well until I get home. If you are picking up your food, there is plenty of parking behind the building. My new problem is that that I'm going to be ordering from here way too to much for lunch when I am working down the street! read more

CAVA - Create your own bowl! Veggies and all my favorite toppings. - Mediterranean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Cristian was so helpful and the whole staff was amazing, besides the food being delicious!!! Everyone has to try it here!

The food is fresh and delish! Omar was lovely and was actually not allowed to accept a tip so I wanted to give him a shout out on here.

This is the second time I ordered from here. I don't know what happened but they got backed up. Ok, Im wait already .50 into lunch. Then a helpful/ not so helpful person grabbed ( from where I don't know) my receipt I ordered it online and she assumed what was my order and you know what happens when you assume on an order, yup. I became upset! But held my tongue. My order was wrong and there was a line of people and I didn't want to add to it. So a maybe for next time read more

It used to be good, but it's trash now! I ordered a the Steak-Hassai bowl and some sides. The steak and chips were dry, and the bowl had no flavor. I should've trusted my instincts and walked out because nothing at the food station looked fresh or appetising. The place looks dirty and poorly managed. Stay away! Service was mediocre. The girl was cleaning and taking out boxes and she didn't change gloves before she handled food You're better off at Chipotle. read more

people behind the counter are rude - I was rushed through the line and they seem inconvenienced when you ask a question- if you've never had it , you'll have questions and it shouldn't be a problem . I asked two questions and they were so damn rude . I wish they were nicer because the food was actually great, just don't ask questions or add anything more than is on their little cards read more

Food is good, but staff lacks basic skills like greeting. Walked in and two employees are working on orders, neither one greets and acknowledges, after a while just asks what do you want. Disappointing read more

Best cava i've ever been to. Love this place! Always tasty, fresh, and satisfying. I recommend this location highly

Great food, great service, go there all the time clean and nice people. Great parking in the back of the place

I have been enjoying Cava since they opened their first location in Topanga 2015. It's sooooo good! Fresh, and it never misses when I crave a salad. The Sherman Oaks location is such a great location! A clean location and the decor inside is as refreshing as the ingredients You're in and out within 5 minutes. The staff are never rude and quick to assist. So funny they are located right next to chipotle but the quality doesn't match to Cava. I have tried so many combos but after years of eating it so much I have found my "it" Build your own Bowl! My GiGi combo is as follows -Saffron Rice -Splendid Greens -Chicken -2 Red Pepper hummus dips -1 Feta Dip -2 scoops Cucumber tomato -Persian Cucumbers -Feta -pickled Onions -Cabbage Slaw NO DRESSING! Always good, always fresh and great portion. I was so nervous when I first tried this place but after experimenting with my own liking i concluded this is my Go-To! You won't be disappointed read more

CAVA - Build Your Own Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I love coming to this Cava locations after a long day at work. It's my Sunday ritual. Today I came in and Nati helped me get my to go order and ensured everything looked good before I walked away l. The staff is always so friendly and the food is always so fresh. One thing in particular I appreciate is how clean they keep this location! read more

One of my favorite places to eat at for a quick meal. Unfortunately at this location I felt that they had really skimped out on the protein.

For my first time visiting this location and place of establishment it was an amazing experience and I have to say that the workers are very enthusiastic when it comes to building my order. But there is this one worker that really made the experience amazing here as he recommended me an item that made my food experience 10x better and this workers name was Kevin. I would recommend this place and that worker for a good first time experience. read more

Griffin, Logan and Adriana are such sweethearts. They took really great care in making sure we were happy with our food, and were so patient with our questions. Right off the bat, Logan was so sweet and bubbly; he made us feel so welcome. The meat we wanted ended up taking a bit longer to grill, so Adriana gave it to us on the house. AND, when an item didn't make it into the bag, Griffin came running out to our car to make sure that we got it. Over all, such a pleasant experience. And as always at this Cava location, DELICIOUS!!! Generous portions and perfectly cooked. The restaurant is so clean and nice too. If I could give 6 stars, I would! read more

Amazing , staff friendly good vibes , glad to be back here , Adriana Michelle and Miguel best hospitality! read more

I've been to the one in Topanga Mall before and enjoyed it so im happy one opened up closer to me! Unfortunately, some of my favorite ingredients were sold out, but the flavor and experience were still top notch (patting myself on the back for this cuz its all up to me what i put in the bowl after all). Service was good and standard for what you expect. Barely above lukewarm young people being paid about minimum wage, ya know? I like that there's parking in the back, so i definitely wanna come back in the future. read more

CAVA is my favorite place to get food because it's so delicious and has many healthy options. None of the locations ever skimp out on the meat, which is why I NEVER go to the Chipotle next door to this location. I've been coming here basically at least once a week or more since they opened. This location is very consistent and I've never had any issues here. I have seen many employees cycle in and out which is sad because as a customer, every employee who has ever helped me out has been sweet and amazing. The hiring manager needs a raise. Management is also great, any time I have a minor issue such as a meat not being available, it is resolved in a customer friendly way and I always leave happy. I genuinely have no complaints and I'm so happy I have a local CAVA now and I don't have to drive all the way to Westwood anymore. read more

Can I just beat on how amazing the staff is?? I took a chance and tried something new today and I made the absolute best decision ever. So the staff was so amazing and friendly and walked me through the entire process. Even though they were busy, they took the time to explain everything to me and not rush me and just really make my day wonderful and it wasn't just one person. It was multiple people that was working there. The food was incredible and I was super happy with the service. The drinks were good too! The inside was very nice and I really enjoyed my food today and I just even more enjoyed the service and I can't brag enough about how wonderful everyone was. I definitely will keep coming back and be a reoccurring customer. read more

The Sherman oaks location AM team was amazing!! They had great service and had great recommendations. Definitely coming back!!:)

What made the experience truly exceptional was the service. Our server, Adriana, Logan and Ari was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They offered perfect recommendations and made us feel like valued regulars. read more

They were great. And we're very kind and helped a lot. The food was fresh and amazing. The colors are great in the store too. Jenn was great and lively read more

Delicious! A tastier alternative to the Chipotles that are everywhere. It was easy to park at this location, too, with the big lot they have behind the building (access from Ventura). I got the Tahini Caesar Bowl and customized a few things. They have a lot of free add-on options, and premium ones for an additional fee. The bowl was fresh and fragrant and delicious. Only picked up my order, didn't dine in, but the space looked clean and airy. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in the door with a smile from the staff behind the food assembly line. They have a small patio out back if you wanted to sit outside. read more

This is hands down one of the best CAVA locations I've visited. Nati and Asaf went above and beyond, kindly making fresh garlic ranch pita chips for me even though it was close to closing time. The restaurant was spotless and had a modern, trendy atmosphere. The combination of excellent customer service and delicious food guarantees I'll be coming back! read more

Came in a for a quick lunch after the gym , while there was a pretty long line it was worth the wait. There are only 3 choices for grains which is ok but they have a pretty good amount of salad to pick from, Neo suggested the lamb meatball and the potato ( ask for samples they do give them out ! ) and we decided on them. What really sold it was the juices ! The strawberry mixed with the lemonade is where it's at ( shoutout to Alex for the recommendation!) good food a little slow to get through the line but worth it and the people on the line where very cheery and let us sample almost everything even with a line behind us. Will come back ! read more

I've been going to Cava for years, so naturally, when one opened up near my house, I was so excited to check it out! Boy, was I impressed!! All of the staff here is so helpful and hospitable. Everyone works hard to ensure that you have a great experience and feel comfortable inside their establishment. The food is incredible, this may be the best location out of all of them! I have already been here several times since they opened. You can't beat their prices for wholesome and healthy food. Thank you so much guys, will keep coming back! read more

CAVA - Amazing Greens and Grains bowl with Sweet Potato and Harissa Honey Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I was there last night with my friends. The food was amazing!!! The team was great. Was a little busy but I got my food. The bowl I got was Harissa avocado. The manager suggested it. She was right, read more

Do not get chicken from this location! The last two times - every single piece had so much fat on it - it was just gross. The chicken in my daughter's kids pita was also incredibly fatty. I had to take most of it out. So disappointing. read more

Grossly understaffed. One person working the in person order line and moves so slow. Need to work on this.

My Wife and I tried Cava for the first time! Firstly, GREAT customer service. Nati was one of the nicest people I've met and was patient with us since it was our first time eating there. He made it easy with all the selections that are available. The ambiance was great and was very clean. We will 100% be returning to try other protein. The flavor was amazing! If you go say what's up to Nati!!! Great service!! read more

The food is great but the service was very disappointing. The staff seemed very overwhelmed and unorganized. There was a long line, I waited 25 minutes to order my food. Unacceptable, especially for a restaurant with an assembly line set up. read more

I have never, not one time, had a delivery order show up as ordered. They forget the pita bread. Or the dressing. Or a topping. Or all of the above. It's a healthier option than other places, which is why I keep trying them, but I'm done. read more

Jessie was serving me tonight (6/3/25), it was a long day from work to the gym. He served me with a smile and was absolutely sweet to me. Every time I come here, the service is outstanding and it makes the food taste that much sweeter. Their kindness and attention to detail is amazing. Jessie recommended some sauces since they were out of the harissa and he hooked me up with recommendations of a mix of two sauces he mixes together. I appreciate the service here. Will always come back. Thank you Jessie! read more
