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

I lovelovelove Cava and couldn't believe there was one 20 minutes from where I live. I drove past this location and immedately had to google when it opened!! Pete the manager and staff were super friendly and efficient! I can't wait to come back and try the new pita chips :) Great addition to the area and I have no doubt they will do well in this location. Pete - keep up the good work and your customers will keep coming back! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

I know people call this the Mediterranean Chipotle, but I think it only applies to the style and service of restaurant. The food is so much better. I can eat a bowl and not feel like I need to plan on 30 minutes of food coma. I've had several local competitors (like Wild Fig), but the options here are more interesting and CAVA's falafel is so much. And the fountain drinks are great! Personal fave is the cucumber mint lime. I could drink that all day. I also love the music choice - if you are going to eat in. Any place that has The Cure on its playlist is fantastic. I only hope they open up one closer to Queens. read more

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

The food is so fresh here, very happy every time I eat at Cava. The options are great and I have never had the same order twice yet. Everything has been so good! read more

We stopped by for lunch after shopping at Costco. I've tried Cava in the city before and thought the food was delicious and healthy. Cava, in my opinion, is a Mediterranean Chipotle/Sweetgreen/Dig Inn, the whole concept of customizing your food in a lunch line. The scenery at this location is quite pleasant. Clean, with tons of open space, and the appearance of the restaurant feels quite modern. You can definitely have a nice lunch meeting with a colleague over here or do a quick study session while eating. I ordered the pre-selected bowl of Balsamic Date Chicken so I didn't have to choose. My sister customized her bowl. All the foods (grains, meats, dips, and toppings) looked fresh, savory, and full of flavor. We also got a Blueberry Lavender fountain drink, which she thought tasted way too healthy. It tasted like a light tea, which I enjoyed. The price was standard for most of these healthy/quick-service restaurants. Also, don't forget to get their APP so you can earn some reward points. Lastly, the meal was filling and tasty. You will definitely see me back at a Cava again. read more

Finally had Cava after hearing such great things about it and I wasn't disappointed. It was yummy and I came back with my husband for him to try. He also liked it but not as much as me. Their options are great BUT who sets the thermostat in that place?!!! We were freezing even after putting a sweater on. It's still mid September. When I came with hubby same situation. Do they do it to keep people moving? read more

I've heard so much about cava and couldn't wait to give it a go so I finally went. It's set up like many line serving restaurants but it's a much healthier option. Honestly I can't tell you every item I got in my salad but I did get falafel, lentils, and a bunch of items on the line. I will say this it was amazing! Expensive but amazing. $17 for a bowl and chips I felt was a little pricey but I needed the full experience so I had to give it a try. The chips felt so hard in my hands but one your eating them with a salad it was fine. The salad was really good all of the flavors combined made it really tasty. I can't wait to come back. read more

YUM!! Just came to cava for my first time ever and I'm probably going to be a life-long customer. Cava is similar in style to Chipotle- fast casual and customizable meals, except Cava is Mediterranean inspired. I built my own salad with lentils, saffron rice, and the kale blend of greens. I had 1/2 falafel, 1/2 chicken with tzatziki sauce, "crazy feta", and eggplant dip. I added almost every topping (no spicy) and had the Greek dressing on the side. I am full. Completely stuffed. I gorged on that bowl because it was so delicious. Not to mention, you must try the fresh beverages! I tried most of them, and it was hard to settle on a choice, so I did two. I had a strawberry citrus drink but added about 1/5 of cucumber mint (to reduce the sweetness a bit). So fresh. So delicious. Shout out to General Manager Pete who is running with a very new crew. He is managing the restaurant while also teaching his team how to do their jobs too. There's a lot going on here while they acclimate to being open, but Pete is handling it, and clearly, the guests are happy :) read more

The food was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and professional. If you're looking for a quick bite, a bit on the healthier side. Cava is it! read more

If you're looking for Mediterranean fast casual this is a good place to go! Lots of options to choose from or you can build your own bowl or pita. There are greens, grains, spreads, spicy or flavorful meats, toppings and dressings galore. The server have cards to help them prepare the menu bowls/pitas. We customized our own bowls and it was filling and delicious. There is booth seating and tables available to enjoy your meal. It shares the same building as Just Salad. Plenty of parking available.e. Service was friendly and efficient. They have a reward program for frequent diners. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been here 2 times in the last month and I don't live close to this place. Really like the food. The chicken and rice bowl is very good. The service has always been courteous and nice. Very casual Mediterranean food. Almost like a Mediterranean version of chipotle. Wish they would open near me. Definitely a healthier option for casual dining. read more

The manager or owner, is a hardworking gentleman. If you have any concerns he listens and he is respectful. I like that he works side by side with his team. I find that very admirable. He takes lead . He may be busy but you can tell the shift keeps moving with him advising. read more

CAVA - Self Made Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

I was recently in store and was denied an Ems discount supposedly because they only give police and fire . Which is a ashamed because i have always recommended people here and an employee originally told me about the discount and there were no issues now they are very rude read more

This place was so delicious I forgot to take a photo of the food and I never do that! lol this is like a chipotle but with Greek food. I have to say the flavors come together so well no matter what combination you pick. My favorite was the Harissa Avocado from the menu. Be prepared to wait at least 30 mins for your food/the line it's extremely busy at this location but it totally just blows you away once you have your meal. read more

Not enough seating. The line is long and they're still working out the kinks to get the line moving in a reasonable fashion. And I had to shove my kid into a booth to hold it for us because we weren't sure we'd get a table once we paid. I have never heard of harissa honey chicken but let me tell you it has a kick! Now I also chose the hot harissa vinaigrette so I kinda knew what I was getting into. But my mouth is literally on fire. Not what I anticipated. Still, my choice. Definitely wouldn't order it in the future. Personally I think because the salad isn't mixed, the dips are a waste. I couldn't find them with all the stuff on top. The portions are a good size. And I like I can get unlimited toppings. They have a nice selection. My daughter was VERY happy with her kids pita. Though the falafel has no flavor. She loved the toppings and rice and hummus on her pita. Happy kid means a lot. And the kids meal is a good value. I feel it was a lot of food, came with extra pita and a drink. Nice that cava is family friendly. They get a whole star for my kid being happy. Not sure we'll be back. ‍ read more

CAVA - Seems very illegal to block a ramp where wheelchair users would come up. - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

I can't put my fingerbon it but something has changes. Food prices have gone up substantially and they really are skimping on proteins.

10/10. Food amazing service great and its a nice size restaurant.. it was my first time so I was so skeptical on what to get but the workers assisted me . I'm fairly new to greek sauces and dipping but everhrbinh meshed great together. I can't wait to go back and the pricing is worth it. MAKE SURE YOU GET PITA CHIPS THEY Are SOO GOOD!!! & you get free pita bread as a side . read more

CAVA - I got half spicy chicken and half reg chicken. Cucumbers , feta cheese roasted corn. Spinach at the bottom. Brown rice . - Mediterranean Near Me - Westbury, New York

Love cavaaa. Bryan was so nice and welcoming!! He made a great bowl for me and my sisterrrr

Don't come here the food is mid at best, took over 50 mins waiting to just to get the counter to be told half the food is still cooking and then wait additional 20 minutes, just unacceptable. It's also triple the cost of Chipotle, double than qdoba, if I wanted to pay $60 for two bowls I would go to a restaurant with full service. Also the staff act and look like they don't care about what they are giving people to eat. Forget this place I could never recommend anyone to come here to be disappointed. read more

Very helpful service, quick easy and delicious. food is always hot and it's pretty clean in here too. best cava i've been too!!

Pretty solid food here and the location building is awesome. Cava always has great food and portions.

Frequently visit Cava and always great food and service! Healthy and filling meal. Keep up the good work!

Very disappointing. I ordered cava multiple times (in person). Each time in person I have loved the food and had a great experience. Today, I ordered online for delivery and it was the most disappointing meal. The bowl was half filled. I made my own bowl mixed greens and rice and there was barely any rice or greens. The greens were terrible as well. Half the amount of chicken was in the bowl and the sauces on the side were also half filled up. It cost me $24 and not worth a penny. I will never order from here for delivery again. I'm beyond upset by this order and meal. read more

Love Cava at any location. Its always fresh and delicious. The servers are friendly and efficient. I have been to different Cava's in different states, and they have all been clean and well-run. There are also many choices for toppings, which is great. I get a half mixed super green, half saffron rice bowl with chicken , hummus, tomato, and other tasty toppings. The tahini Caesar dressing is so good. The only thing I didn't like, but only had once, was the falafel. It was super doughy and gluey, but it could have been an "off" day. I'll try it again next time and update if that changes. read more

I come here whenever I'm working in the area. I highly recommend ordering online because the line gets a little crazy around lunchtime. The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff make my online delivery quickly and are very attentive. The space is usually clean and has enough tables read more

The food was good. Not exceptional, not fabulous... just good. However - value for your dollar is NOT there at all. Of the four items we ordered (all bowls) we all had the same or similar thought. I ordered a grains and greens bowl with lots of yummy toppings. My bowl was $25 (not including tax and delivery) and it was just about 1/2 full. I order from Chop't regularly...their version of the a similar bowl, and hey use the same size bowl... and have spent also $25-30 on it... and it has come so packed that the lid hardly closed. It is a bowl that I can make three meals out of! This bowl is hardly one. There is so much more value for your dollar in the Chopt bowls that I can honestly say I'll order from them before I do from Cava again. Very disappointing for my first try. read more

First time here and boy I will be back the team work from beginning to end was amazing, the staff guided me and I told nothing spicy and the whole experience ones blown away with, staff is very very nice answered my questions and the food is delicious! Shoot out to the manger who rang us up amazing job training your staff to be nice and pleasant! Trusty amazing experience and made my night! Thank you read more

Food good. Service/wait time is crap. Manager is useless. Don't bother ordering ahead, you'll wait the same amount of time as everyone else once you get there. read more

I love the variety of options Cava offers and how healthy they all are. I got the honey harissa chicken bowl and it was absolutely delicious when paired with their saffron basmati rice. Their red pepper hummus and fiery feta sauces add so much rich flavor and pickles add the perfect adicity. The general manager Pete was also wonderful and very patient with customers. Thank you Pete! Will definitely come back here read more

This is my first time at this location. I love Cava! I did enjoy the food. I brought along two people with me who had it for the first time. They loved it! I definitely will be going back. Staff was super friendly. Shout out to Eamon who prepared our food. read more

(WAIT TIME - 50 MIN IN LINE) Wish I could give a -5 star for this, the food is definitely on the healthy side. The only issue is with this location, you'll probably lose your mind. The manager, to be very professional and upfront needs to be removed and replaced; they are clearly not doing anything to better this location. The lady that was at the cash register, was very unprofessional and she didn't know what she was doing. One of the workers didn't know English that well too and caused a slight back up during the 50 minutes wait. The food line was also 3/4 empty and no one was refilling anything?? The lady at the cash register said there was no sauce and then proceeds to open the fridge behind her and grab more sauce when her co-worker asked for it, but when a customer asked for it, she said there was no more... I'd wish that there was more of a sense of urgency in these workers, they clearly saw a long line and took their time. I'd recommend coming here, if you have all the time in the world to waste it for bad customer service. My girlfriend went to Costco and finished shopping faster than I got my bowl.. that says a lot. read more

The food is good that's why I've given them so many chances but the service is horrible. The lines are always long and moves terribly slow.

Absolutely horrible read more

This place so poorly run no matter if you are on-line or order pickup. Either way you have to wait at least for 30mins. If there are so many consistent bad reviews regarding the efficiency how this place is run. Where is the manager? Isn't it the manger's role to make sure a restaurant is run efficiently and works are happier. I would love to meet the manager. read more

Honestly, I have been going to various Cava restaurants since before they opened this location. The food is a 5 star (when they have all the items ready and not give you a nasty look when you ask them to check in the back for basic add in ingredients they have all over their signage), but the wait time is honestly getting way out of hand. I have them a break for the first couple of times I went to this location, but this past weekend I waited on line for 56 minutes! Every time I thought I was getting closer to getting my food, they kept having to refill things and move things around. It's beyond ridiculous to wait that long at a quick service restaurant!! The food is worth it, but try to go to a different location if you have the time. It wasn't even like the line was that long. They prioritize to go orders over the people waiting in line and giving them tips, so keep that in mind when you place an order. Ambiance is pretty standard, but just lost of people in line complaining about how they will never come back and how disappointed they were with the service. I mentioned this earlier, but I found it really rude the employees were when there were staples like the onions and cucumbers out. He kept saying they don't have any more and I knew that couldn't be right. After going back and forth with him he finally was like... "yeah we have more" and went to the fridge and pulled out a brand new container. As a customer how is it my job to beg the employees after waiting in line for almost an hour to refill simple ingredients!?!? Beyond disappointed at my experience this round and I hope the management will take this into consideration and make changes. I wasn't even there at like a so called peak time according to google. read more

Best customer service I've received thus far! The food is amazing and I'll be coming back very soon!
