    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. The seating has been full 2/3 times that I've been there so that's something to note. 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.

    Falafel bowl

    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.

    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.

    pita chips

    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. We sat down at the tables which were clean as well!

    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.

    This was my first time ordering from here but it won't be my last. Our rice bowls came packed with arugula and Cesar lettuce, brown rice,corned, broccoli, cucumbers,tomatoes,onions,hummus and thee best pita chips on earth. Delivery service took 40 minutes but it was definitely worth the wait.

    Kids Pita with Lemonade
    Cecilia T.

    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 :)

    Chicken and rice bowl
    Stephanie G.

    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.

    harisaa avocado bowl, sauce on the side
    Stephen L.

    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.

    Online order

    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.

    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.

    Fresh pineapple , apple , mint  juice very refreshing.

We had already looked on the menu online and knew what we wanted to order. However, they gave us a pre-fix menu and stated that we could only order from the Mother's Day menu. It was 1 appetizer, 1 entree, soda or tea for $55 per person. If you look at the regular menu prices, this exceeds what it cost for 1 entree and 1 appetizer. We got the cheese rolls, liver, & mixed appetizer which were all shareable portions. After we were done with appetizers, it took over an hour to get our entrees. The waiter checked in and it seemed that he never gave the kitchen our orders or completely forgot about them because the food was luke warm. We got the lamb chops, chicken shish, & branzino. The chicken and tender and juicy. The branzino was light and flaky. Everything was well seasoned and the rice & salad were also tasty. The lamb chops were over cooked and a bit dry. Overall, I would say don't come here on a day you know will be busy. You may not get to order the dishes you want, experience poor service, and deal with an overpriced menu. For $55, they should have included a baklava for dessert or something.

When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!

Kabul Kabab offers the most delectable, flavorful, and cost-effective family meal in the area. The combo #1 or #2 is more than enough to feed a family of 4-6 and it has great value. A combo comes with salad, onions/grilled tomatoes, 2-4 skewers if your choice (depending on which one you get) and a whole STEAMER TRAY of delicious rice. Pro tip: the lamb kebab is always worth the extra $3 or so and the brown rice is the winner in our home (brown rice = more flavorful + more fiber = winwin!) Please do give this place a try if you're in the area and need to feed at least 3-4 mouths--the people there are so nice and the food is amazing--would give 30/10 stars if I could!

I also ordered the qabuli rice topping which was disappointing.

Nonetheless, food was good and portions were generous. Easily makes two meals.
