This was my first time visiting a Cava and I was in love with all the food options! I've been here at least 25 times and I'm always satisfied with my food. On the downside - the line is always long and the employees always seem overwhelmed. They have a lot of people working, but I think it's just really busy at this location. I've since visited other Cava's and they're not as busy. I don't hold it against the Westbury store... the workers are all great and have a lot on their plate. Keep up the great work! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Westbury location-Terrible, Dirty place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu board was not working so they attached little plastic paper with order. Get to last step the person cuts the avocado and drops it on counter and on piece of paper (that everyone touches ) she picks it up off the dirty paper and tosses it on the plate. When asking why she did that she gave me a look and says u want another one? Excuse me! No. I walked out!!!! Disappointed I can't imagine what they are doing on take out orders that no one sees. read more

We were in the neighborhood to get something healthy and I came across this spot. This spot is one of my go tos for lunch near my job, but we were disappointed by the food quantity and quality. We both created our own bowl, one with grilled chicken and the other with salmon. The salmon did not look like anything that was advertised and the portion was small. We were ok with the grilled chicken. The grilled chicken bowl contained: Basmati rice with saffron, greens, roasted eggplant, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, grilled chicken, corn, roasted vegetables, broccoli slaw, feta, lemon herb tahini and lemon dill. addition my app did scan for points upon payment, but nothing showed up in my app. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a good seating area to eating our meals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most likely we will not return to this location. read more

CAVA - Build my own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

This place is delicious. I've now eaten here 3 times and it has been consistent and super filling. I now split a single bowl with my wife cause a whole one leaves me unbuckling my belt. If there is a line in this restaurant, it moves quickly so don't be afraid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating has been full 2/3 times that I've been there so that's something to note.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This food was so good, when we saw they had their own line of products (hummus, harissa, tzatziki, etc.) at Whole Foods, we started making it at home as a regular meal. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

My daughter was home during winter break and took me to lunch. She said she wanted to go to Cava because of some of the drinks they have. Ambience: walking through the door, I felt like I was at Chipotle. The design and layout of the interior was the same, you order your protein and then customize it with toppings and sauces from the options in front of you. Food: we ordered Chicken Shawarma bowl - the chicken was dry, which they compensated by aiding a lot of sauce. 3/5 Falafel - dry and mushy. 2/5 TL/DR: Cava is Chipotle's cousin from the Mediterranean/Middle East. read more

If you've never tried Pablo, you've been missing out. This is my favorite lunch when I want to explore and the food is just all around amazing. The pita chips are my favorite, but obviously the bowl are the best because of their crush ingredients and delicious toppings. I love all their fresh drinks as well. read more

This review is for the Huntington location by Walt Whitman mall. Not sure why Yelp doesn't have this location listed. Had a nice quick lunch here with hubby. Shared a falafel crunch vegetarian bowl with falafel, hummus, and black lentils. Plus, Crazy Feta®, Persian cucumber, pickled onions, sumac slaw, romaine, tomato + onion, and basmati rice. Topped with pita crisps and spicy-herby skhug. Was large enough for the two of us to share and felt full. Love the free refills on the drinks. read more

I used to LOVE this place. I would eat here once a week. Now I HATE going. The staff has all changed and went from nice and polite, to rude and condescending. They deliberately don't give you what your bowl is supposed to come with, like the hummus and avocado for a Harissa AVOCADO. And when you ask for it, they give you an attitude. This has happened multiple times. I really wish the management would go back to the way it was. So sad... read more

Stopped by this Cava for the first time as it's the closest one near me and I haven't had in years. I was not disappointed. The staff was super helpful and patient with explaining the options which was nice. Even though it was kind of busy, they took the time and did everything with a smile. The bowls itself were great and fresh I 10000% recommend the pita chips as well, they were jus brought out fresh when I came and it was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat down at the tables which were clean as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

CAVA is basically the Mediterranean cousin of Chipotle--and I mean that in the best way possible. Walk in, build your bowl, and feel like you're making healthy choices even if you load it with all the sauces (which I absolutely did). From the perfectly spiced chicken to the creamy hummus and that addictive garlic dressing, every bite had me questioning why I ever waited in line for a burrito bowl when I could've been doing this all along. The toppings? Fresh. The staff? Friendly. The portions? Generous enough to make me feel like I definitely didn't need that pita on the side (but I got it anyway--no regrets). It's like Chipotle took a vacation to Greece, got a tan, leveled up, and came back with better flavor and a tzatziki obsession. I'm hooked. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

Our first time trying CAVA & it did not disappoint. My daughter got a kids pita and I got the hot harissa steak bowl & pita chips. She really enjoyed her steak pita and we loved the pita chips a lot- I think the classic ones are better but both were good. The bowl had a generous amount of steak & it was very flavorful- I would definitely get it again & ask for less Hot Vinaigrette next time bc they put way too much. And just wish the portions were a little bigger for the price you're paying. Service was friendly & attentive. We'll be back soon :) read more

We just ordered two Greek salads from this cava location through door dash and the salads came with chicken when we did not ask for chicken. Apparently, the chicken is standard in the Greek salads and you need to uncheck a box to get it without chicken. Despite them messing up the order and charging us over $40 for two Greek salads, the rest of the salad was uninspiring and made with very mediocre ingredients that had no taste. I tried to get a refund through door dash but it was not allowed . I will never order or buy anything from this location ever again. read more

The Greek chicken pita I ordered had almost no lettuce, tomatoes or onions. It was only bits of chicken (not full pieces; it looked like what fell off when the chicken was cut up), olives, and lots of glop that tasted like a combo of feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. Don't believe the picture on the menu. Yuck. Most of this pita went in the trash. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Fresh, flavorful, and consistently good every time I visit. The ingredients taste high quality, the portions are generous, and there are tons of options to customize your bowl exactly how you want it. The staff was friendly and moved the line quickly even during lunch rush. Everything tasted fresh, especially the pita chips and dips. Great spot for a healthy meal that still feels satisfying. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

CAVA - greens bowl harissa chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

It was easy to order from, and the price is reasonable for lunch. I went with the chicken and rice bowl which has a good assortment of flavors without feeling heavy. I do think compared to the photo, my bowl was more lettuce heavy-than I was expecting and there weren't the nice dollops of hummus and tzatziki, but it all still tasted good. They have a few bowl/pita options and the ability to customize, but it was a nice meal option that is more than a boring salad but not greasy fast food. read more

Ordered the food on their website for pick up. The ordering process online was very easy and customizable. After placing the order I was notified that it'll take 15 minutes for it to be ready. Once I get there, there are shelves for pick up, but there was no bag present. I did ask staff behind the counter and they were able to hand me my complete order rather quickly. This wasn't our first time ordering here. The food was good as usual. It's a decent portion, where you won't feel hungry but you won't be super full. Would highly recommend. read more

Cava is always good (with the exception of one time when the brown rice was so hard). I had harissa avocado bowl with brown rice and some substitutions to how the bowl is. They forgot the avocado and I had to remind them of it. It was good but I needed more to the base (more super green + rice). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was clean but very cold. The AC was blasting for some reason.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small, probably about 8 tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service wasn't bad. read more

Honestly I can't really go wrong with cava for a quick and relatively healthy meal, a bowl is basically 2 meals. I did a small experiment with ordering through the app and having my friend ordering a similar item as me in person. We both got the salad and grains bowl with half chicken and half falafel. Needless to say, if you order in person you'll get a little more food, except they didn't ask my friend if they wanted the free pita on the side whereas the app did ask me. They'll give you just a little more on the sides that you add in. The difference isn't significant, but I noticed it when i started eating. The staff are still friendly regardless of online pickup or ordering in person. I would still come back here regardless because I think their ingredients are clean and good to consume. read more

Let's face it: eating healthy in the U.S. is expensive. That alone feels like it should be illegal, but I digress. Cava is one of the rare places that actually gets it right, healthy, fresh food with generous portions that taste genuinely good. And somehow, in 2026, they are doing all of this without making you empty your wallet. I genuinely appreciate that. I love their customizable bowls. I can go a few times a month and still switch up the flavors enough that it never gets boring. The drinks are not the usual diabetes syrups you find everywhere else either. When you realize you can eat here for about the same price as garbage like McDonald's or Wendy's, it really hits differently. They have got something special going on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This specific location can get crazy busy, so the counters sometimes look a mess.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I have been here over a dozen times, and the food is consistently the best I have had compared to other Cava locations. read more

This was my first fime trying CAVA and the food was good. I really loved their blueberry lavender drink. I believe the customer service is what makes you want to come back to a food establishment, especially ones that are or similar to food chains. The service was okay and the helpfulness was lacking. However, the food was good so I would give the food another try but at a different location. read more

The Mediterranean version of Chipotle--but with way better sauces and a vibe that says, "I meal prep but still have a social life." Got the harissa honey chicken bowl with extra feta and a mountain of pickled onions. The tahini dressing slapped. Service was fast, the line moved quick, and the place smelled like warm pita and productivity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean spot, solid portions, no regrets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you don't mix in garlic and harissa--you're doing it wrong. read more

Very basic food always quick, pretty consistent from location to location, the service of this location was awesome though.

10/4/2023. I stopped by CAVA mid afternoon , initially it wasn't busy , then the lunch crowd starting coming in and it got real busy , really quick. The line moved slow, it seems they were short staffed. The person , that was making the orders , was also the person cashing people out. This review is mostly , for the service. Im guessing it was the manager , he was doing his best to keep the line moving, at the end of the purchased he apologized for the wait and offered pita or a courtesy cup. I ordered the build your own pita kids meal. I had the spicy lamb , yogurt dill dressing on the side. fresh pineapple , apple , mint juice , which was really good. I would visit Cava in Garden City again. The manager has good customer service skills and that's a plus. The restaurant is clean and the location is near the shopping mall. read more

I'm sitting in the restaurant now writing this review and the lovely JuJu just walked in! I've been to Cava twice and both times have been a great experience. The restaurant puts a Mediterranean twist on their various offerings. If you love Falafel then get ready to be in chickpea heaven. They have a great Falafel mixture, the falafel isn't too spicy. The service is a little slow, I'm here during lunch and there is one counter person making the bowls. The restaurant itself isn't too large, maybe 10 tables in total. Another issue and it's a pet peeve, they sell fried pita bread, it's not a free item. read more

Dropped in for a lunch meeting and lo and behold, Bill S, the original Black Elite has beat me to the newly opened Cava. I had the spicy mkt salad and the server was nice enough to amend my ingredients to give me small samples of their offerings in my salad. Ingredients were fresh and delish. It had spicy falafel balls which wasn't spicy enough for me but still good. I substituted some rice for lentils which were the tiniest lentils I've ever seen. The price of the salad wasn't cheap a bit over $15 w tax. Plus this wasn't really fast food. They don't have their system down like Chipotle's assembly line, prob because of all the variations and salad offerings. Def great salads tho. But maybe not if you're in a hurry. read more

It definitely wasn't as good as before and the young female workers seem liked they didn't want to be there. God forbid you ask a question. That was total taboo! Also, the food display was very messy and unappetizing. I hope things turn around there because I love this restaurant chain. read more

Great flavor on the Chicken Shawarma, but the saffron basmati rice, chicken portion was too small for the price.

I had been keeping my eye on Cava since Just Salad opened next door. It always had a line so I knew it had to be good but I wanted to wait until it quieted down prior to trying. We popped in on a Sunday night and fell in love with the entire menu. I tried the lemon chicken bowl which was DELICIOUS! The chicken was so flavorful and their spicy hummus is more smoky than spicy but still delicious. All of their ingredients are fresh and everything is put together in front of you. The prices are steep. For one pita and one bowl it came to a whopping $32. This is definitely the place you go for a treat or on payday. read more

I first had the pleasure of trying CAVA when this location had a promotional event to celebrate their offering, which allowed guests to enjoy a complimentary meal and drink. It was such an amazing experience that I just knew I'd be back very soon. During my latest visit, I customized a bowl that featured the lovely ingredients below and was not disappointed! - Arugula base - Harissa, Red Pepper Hummus, and Roasted Eggplant Dip - Half Braised Lamb and Half Harissa Honey Chicken - Corn, Onions, Tomato, Cucumber, Cabbage Slaw - Lemon Herb Tahini and Yogurt Dill & DO NOT FORGET YOUR FREE SIDE PITA! It really completes the meal. To drink, you can't go wrong with any of their in-house made beverage options. My favorite combo is the Blueberry Lavender, Strawberry Citrus, and a splash of Cucumber Mint Lime - you're welcome! I wish CAVA was closer to my home and a tad less expensive because I'd easily dine here every other day lol . . . seriously. read more

Tried this place for the first time. I happen to see it as I was passing by the shopping center. What caught my eye was that it said salads on it. Upon entering it reminded me of a chipotle set up. They have the people behind the glass that will put your item together by your choice of what's available in the trays. They have bowls and pita choice. It's not really salad but more like a choice of rice as a base with green or grains or both. (Again reminded me of chipotle, just slightly different) they have choice of meat and vegetables. The food was ok. You have choices of different dressing to add on. I ate here twice but it would get played out for me. It's also a little pricey. I bought a bowl and a ginger brew and it was $18.00 dollars in total. It's a good spot for a quick meal. read more

CAVA - Harissa avocado - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

Very unimpressive. It's new so there was a line of people waiting to try it. Sooo slow. There must have been 8 employees but only one or two seemed to be trying to move. I asked for the build your own with romaine. The lettuce came out of a bag and had obviously sitting around for a while. The server made no effort to remove the old brown pieces. I added humus and tzatziki and then added falafel and honey chicken. I guess I'm not overly smart, but to me honey chicken sounded like it was going to be sweet. Not even close. My mouth is burning like crazy. The falafel is nowhere near crispy and it's tasteless. It probably also came out of a bag. Cava reminds me of Subway, where nothing is made fresh. Everything is brought in and bags and just thrown in to the Bain Marie's before being served. I started to come here last week but the line was so long I chose Just Salad on the other side of the building. You can't compare the two. The servers in just salad were so nice and helpful and the food was delicious. I can't use any of those comments on cava. Won't be back here! read more

Amazing experience every time ! Quality always a 10/10! Food is always fresh & made to perfection!

I been to this location 2 times. Once I waited on a LONG line to order from the counter. Took almost 1/2 hour but the bowl was good and the servers on the line filled the bowl with your requests. Today I figure I save me some time and order on line while I was in Costco shopping to save some time. I order in the app and finished my shopping. When I got to cava, my order was not ready even though I went 5 minutes after my order should have been ready. I waited another 5 minutes before it came out. I was hungry and running late returning to work. When I open my bag I was highly disappointed. The bowl was barely 1/2 full. It was good and tasty but the inconsistency between ordering in person and online is HUGE!! If I return, will need to order in person cause these bowls are not cheap! read more

I visited CAVA over the weekend. I must say that CAVA doesn't disappoint. I ordered the Balsamic Date Chicken Bowl along with the Pita chips for myself. I also placed an additional order for my father and he enjoyed his Greek Salad Bowl. The customer service was good as it was very busy in the restaurant. The bowl was delicious and everything tasted so fresh. Everything was well prepared and I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant was very busy since a lot of people were waiting to place orders. It wasn't noisy at all. Everything waited to place their orders. I would definitely return to try other bowls on the menu. read more

Cava follows the concept of Chipotle, where you build your bowl with a variety of ingredients. I was a bit overwhelmed at first, fearing that I was holding up the line with my indecisiveness. There is a choice of brown or white rice, various salads, sauces, dressings, and vegetables. Try the juices. You will be pleasantly surprised. They are not overly sweet, which is a plus these days. The seating area is nothing fancy but comfortable nonetheless. read more
