    I was in pursuit for those d*mn "Peter Chip" plushie key chains. Unfortunately, they had run out, but with this trip I discovered that the Wayne CAVA is a really good location. All the staff were friendly and nice. I had asked them about the Hot Harissa Meal promotion and they let me know how quickly the plushies went, but they were cool about it. Fresh food, friendly customer service, and clean indoor and outdoor seating options at this CAVA!

    Always come here whenever I'm craving something that feels refreshing and will still give me the protein I need for dinner! The line is usually long but it goes fast and the service is always good. The place has plenty of seating inside and outside! A great option when you're in somewhat of a rush but don't want a greasy fast food option

    Smother me in crazy feta and garlic sauce please! I stopped by for a quick dinner and CAVA never disappoints. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. My bowl was very flavorful but I wish I got more pita. My go to order is half arugula with the basmati saffron rice, pickled onions, crazy feta, Greek salad, and roasted red pepper hummus. Always hits the spot!

    I have ordered CAVA on several occasions but this was my first time going in. The service was not good at all sadly and the appearance wasn't hygienic. Got the black lentil bowl with braised lamb and chicken with several toppings and my daughter got a brown rice bowl with chicken , veggies and garlic dill sauce. After 2 bites I started feeling sick. Threw out the meal and ended up with food poisoning. No more CAVA for me.

    Custom Greens + Grains Bowl (~$15) + Small Cucumber Mint Lime Drink
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Custom Greens + Grains Bowl (~$15): SplendidGreens, Saffron Basmati Rice, Tzatziki, Traditional Hummus, Roasted Eggplant Dip, 1/2 Braised Lamb (+$3), 1/2 Grilled Chicken, Fire Roasted Corn, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Cucumber, Cabbage Slaw, Pita Crisps, Lentil Tabbouleh, Hot Harissa Vinaigrette, Yogurt Dill, and 1 Falafel to try Small Cucumber Mint Lime drink Aya's take: Second time at CAVA and I'm a big fan! I love the Mediterranean flavors and the endless ways you can customize a bowl. It's unbelievably filling and doesn't make you feel gross after since it's fairly healthy. I loved the grilled chicken and braised lamb. Both were super juicy, nicely seasoned, and went well with the rest of the bowl. The falafel is far from authentic and definitely not one I would get as my full protein choice - glad I got to try it with this bowl. Solid topping selection with a lot of vibrant colors. Super content with this meal and glad there's a few locations in NJ now!

    Free side of pita bread

    I tried Cava for the first time after hearing about it for a while. I normally eat bowls with protein at Chipotle or Q'doba, but I decided to go full vegan with my custom bowl. I also got a free side of pita bread & purchased pita chips to try as well. I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and filling the grain bowl was. The brown rice was really soft and cooked well. I did remove a star because the dip/ spread I selected for the bowl was missing. The pita chips tasted great and evenly seasoned. They were crispy on the outside & soft on the inside and not too oily. I can't comment on the customer service or the ambiance of this Cava because this meal was delivered to me. Overall, I do think this establishment is worth a try. I would definitely make a habit of eating here in the future.

The service was alright-- they weren't the friendliest but they were doing their job. I ordered the mandarin chicken salad. It had oriental sesame dressing which was very sweet, but good. However, at one point it got a bit too sweet which made the salad hard to finish. The chicken tasted alright, nothing about it stood out to me. Something in the salad also tasted a bit fishy-- not sure if it was the dressing or any of the toppings. I don't like the taste of seafood so I was not a huge fan of the taste. The overall salad was just average and wasn't special in any way. I'm not sure if I'll come back. Although the portions are big, I am still paying $10 for pretty average salad.

Besides the fact that you get attentive service, the food is incredible! Fresh ingredients, really traditional dishes/recipes. Everything tastes homemade and I genuinely wonder if someone's (yaya) is doing all the cooking in the back. Also? "Generous portions" (as they say on their website) is exactly right! Best past is all their batter is Gluten Free (yup!). Everything also tastes very light. I didn't get anything fried but have a feeling if you do order fried foods, it won't be bathing in oil. The ambiance, while modest by American standards, I believe is authentically Greek-- unassuming, highlighted with images and elements of Greece, and really, you come with loved ones and just eat and enjoy. I mean, that IS the Greek culture in its truest form, no? Good selection of wines and they also serve a menu of cocktails.

There is a small little parking lot that can fit 4-5 cars right off the main road. Inside was decorated with cute Christmas decor, and the domestic violence scene from Godfather Part 1 casually playing on the TV while I'm trying to eat my food. Good variety of options of appetizers, small shared plates, pizza, fresh pasta, and entrées to choose from our group decided to split the popular pizza. Then everyone offended for themselves - our table ordered the gnocchi with pesto and chicken Milanese, chicken parmigiana with penne, Arancini, and the "focaccia"/house garlic bread. The Arancini was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside. The pizza was a perfect sweet and savory combo of burrata, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. The pesto was a bit thin and ate a little soupier than I prefer. Buyer beware with the focaccia - although it's called focaccia, it's also listed under the pizzas so it was served thin and crispy like a pizza rather than thick and fluffy like we had been expecting. I would absolutely return again to try all the other dishes, especially the shared plates, different pizzas, and other fresh pasta offerings.

Always fantastic with meats cooked to utter perfection. We've also tried the yogurtlu doner with tomato sauce which is solid, but not my fav. Shepherds salad seems unassuming but is FANTASTIC. Hummus is mid-tier but passable. Adana Kebab is absolute perfection and a little spicy and delivers very well too. We also tried their onion kofte kebab special which I wasn't sure about at first since I'm not a huge fan of lamb that tastes like lamb but it grew on me fast -- a little sweet and sour, tangy, and extremely rich from the fattiness in the meatballs.
