    Steak + Harissa bowl
    Miori I.

    Cava in Whittier is a great option if you're craving Mediterranean flavors in a casual, Chipotle-style setting. You can build your own pita, bowl, or salad with lots of tasty options, and the portions are generous. We ordered the steak + feta pita and it was huge--my husband loved it! I went with the steak + harissa bowl and added pickled onions last minute (highly recommend). There's a fridge stocked with bottled drinks along with the usual fountain sodas and juices. We visited during the Saturday lunch rush, but the line moved quickly and the service was friendly. Only downside: the drink machine was out of ice, even after our meal, which was a letdown on a warm day. Otherwise, everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back!

    I love this place . This is my second time coming in less then 2 weeks. I would choose this before chipotle anytime. Thanks for The friendly service . 10 out of 10

    Chicken lentils and super green ! The best food I've already lost 20 pounds with only one bowl. Just kidding but I had a big bowel movement after eating all the shkug. Great service the gentleman filled my bowl to the rim with toppings. The vibe was cool. I appreciate the hardworking staff.

    This Cava location is in a busy plaza with a shared storefront parking spots, along with a bigger parking area by Stater Brothers. There are lots of cars hazarding to do pick ups so just beware. As for the food, I ordered their make your own bowl with half saffron basmati rice and half supergreens. My protein was chicken and roasted vegetables, with tzatziki and hummus dips. For toppings, you can go crazy, but I usually get roasted corn, pita crisps, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, and lemon herb tahini for dressing. The bowl itself is very filling and healthy. They have tables inside and outside.

    This meal was SO SAUCY! First time trying cava and I will be back for sure! Service was great, every worker was amazing, and the bathrooms were very clean.

    This CAVA location is great. Love being able to come here for a quick lunch during work. They are pretty consistent every time I go and the ingredients seem fresh. Their bowls are also not overly doused in dressing nor skimping out quantity wise like some other locations (*cough cough* Irvine).

    I love cava! The taste is always consistent. Relatively healthy with tons of vegetables and good flavor. We came on a Tuesday night for dinner and there were only a couple other people eating. The bench seats inside felt sticky so we didnt love sitting on that but still a good experience as always at cava

    My fiancé and I have been fans of cava since we since we tried it out last year and have been content with our bowls that we get. Today we decided to order ahead on line for pick up since we both had to go to work, horrible idea not to mention super disappointing from all the times we had gone in person and seen them prepare our bowls I was excited to enjoy my lunch when I got my work break, i just jumped on lunch was ready and the first thing that popped into my head was "what the fak is this?"the bowl was super small with the sauces hiding everything the amount of salad was less then a snack, I didn't even see any of my meat thinking it was on the bottom I threw on my sauces and notice the first two bites where missing the stake. So I stated looking to see what was going on only to find 7 small pieces of meat. Never been disappointed in Cava till we ordered online. My fiancé also told me her bowl was small. Worst mistake ever. For two bowls came out close to $37 defiantly not that shit again. Maybe it's the location or the workers doing online orders not really caring about why the customers always come back for. Online ordering beware.

    -Plenty of parking spaces -The staff were nice -Lots of tables for indoor dining -Great and healthy food options -Very friendly atmosphere -Con: the wait could be a bit during lunch/dinner time -Con: Protein proportion depends on the staff

    This bowl was so good! I got just a Basmati rice base with Spicy lamb meatballs, harissa honey chicken, sweet potatoes, corn, and extra broccoli! For the dips I chose Crazy Feta, Red Pepper Hummus(for a lil spice to the bowl) and Tzatziki which all mixed super well. For the dress I chose the garlic dressing and that topped it off well! Would recommend this place for a fresher meal than most!

    My 1/2 roasted veggies, 1/2 falafel build your own bowl. Yum!

    My partner is a big fan of Cava so he really wanted me to give it a try. After several visits now I feel compelled to write my review-- I absolutely love this place! The food is great and good quality. My go-to is definitely the build your own bowl so I can add exactly what I want. And we absolutely love love love their pita chips-- delicious! Service has always been great at this location and would definitely recommend over their neighbor, Chipotle any day.

    got the bowl to go and quality was there, but I do feel like they skimped on the dips...i could barely even taste it or find it which was unfortunate. service was good, ambiance was clean

    When they say 12:15 pm ! They mean it !

    I believe none of their meat products are certified halal, but you may want to double check with the restaurant and management just to make sure.

Sandwiches are quite large, big enough to split between 2 people if I'm being honest, but nothing I would complain about. Egg salad was great, never felt heavy despite how large it was, but I also enjoyed the Uptown Club, thickly stacked with each component but felt wholly balanced with whatever was pickled and the tomato. I did find the meatball side to be simultaneously too salty and too sweet, even though you would figure these would cancel out. I did enjoy the looseness of the actual meatball, and the crispy shallots on top were a wonderful addition. Would love to revisit, would be a perfect pit stop for any picnic or lunch occasion.
