    Stopped in for lunch a few weeks ago and created my own bowl-which was delicious! I arrived before noon, and noticed a huge increase in traffic starting at that 12:00 hour. I'm not sure what was happening, but the staff and dining room were a bit disheveled. They didn't look short staffed, but maybe just frazzled. I had to ask for a few items multiple times, the drink station hadn't been cleaned, and there were large boxes sitting around. Parking can be tricky due to volume but save yourself and park in the back lot of the bank!

    I was so looking forward to this bowl, only to be disappointed. $16 to be salty and missing ingredients is wild! There wasn't a cucumber in sight or cabbage slaw... What happened!? I ordered ahead online, arrived a few minutes before the pickup time but I only waited a few minutes. I hope they didn't rush because I was there. They were pretty busy as it was lunch time but no excuses. Also, I thought the bowl besides missing ingredients was pretty low as well, not even filled to the top!

    Kid's Pita

    I always enjoy my meal when I come to this CAVA location! The staff was very kind! They had run out of saffron rice, and they continued to let me go down the line and gave me a side of it for free! I also feel like the portions are very large. I typically can get the kid's pita meal and still have leftovers! I would highly recommend coming to CAVA if you need something quick and easy!

    Cava is a whole love language for me. My go to is the greens and grains bowl and I'll always get extra garlic sauce. Their toppings make me feel like I'm being healthy and I love the variety. The feisty feta is to die for and their tzatziki is some of the best. The honey harissa chicken is the perfect level of spice and the free pita? Sign me right up. I love the homemade drinks and the convenience of ordering online to go.

    Skhug and Yogurt Dill - excellent, 1 for the heat, 2 for the cool!

    After two visits (1 pita, 1grain bowl), I figured out what I wanted to put together here - a grain bowl with: 1/2 Rice 1/2 Lentils 1/2 Falafel 1/2 Meatballs Pickled Onions Cucumber & Tomato Brined Pickles Feta Tzatziki Harissa Pita Side sauces: Shkug, Yogurt Dill This made up what I'd been looking for - the right combination of tastes and textures, with the sauces and dips suppling a nice mixture of heat, cool, and flavors. The rice and lentils as the base mixed well together, increasing in flavor as the sauces and dips were mixed in. The spicy meatballs were very good, while the falafel was rather bland on its own, but again the sauces and dips helped considerably. The brined pickles and pickled red onions brought a definite sharpness to the bowl, softened somewhat by the tomato and cucumber mixture. The sauces and dips were all excellent. The pita as a side was small and much better than the large one on the wrap, and it had a nice outside crunch. And the service was particularly nice on this visit. I don't know that I necessarily felt healthier after this bowl, but I certainly felt satisfied! Ambiance - 3.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4 Value - 4

    I recently ordered a grain bowl from Cava on DoorDash with arugula, chicken, black lentils, and a variety of toppings/dressings. It arrived and looked bare at first, it seemed like the toppings might have been layered on the bottom, which made it a bit tricky to enjoy as intended. Honestly, Cava is just okay for me. This was my second time trying it, and while it's not bad, I don't feel like it lives up to the hype. To be fair, maybe my topping and dressing choices might not have been the best combination this time around. For now, I'd say it's fine if you're looking for something light and customizable, but it's not my favorite.

    Between the ambience, speed of service, and the friendly greetings, I truly enjoyed myself! Destiny was an absolute superstar, she was extremely sweet and welcoming! She ensured we had everything we needed. The food was delicious!

    Loved coming here for a quick dinner after going to the gym! The food at CAVA is always so filling and nutritious and this particular one is in a convenient location on Stratford Road. Depending on the time of day the parking can be a little crowded in that shopping plaza, but cars come in and out so frequently I haven't had a problem! The indoor space itself is larger than it looks, and there is plenty of seating if you want to dine in. I usually take it to go though! The service here is always fantastic, they are quick and efficient in getting people through the line, and always have all the toppings filled and ready to go so I haven't had to wait for anything. Will definitely be coming back!

    I love CAVA! WHen it first opened in my area in Raleigh, I was there almost every day. I am a frequent visitor to Cava, and I love it so much. I used to live in Winston Salem for 3 years while I attended Community College there and there was no Cava, but I love that there is one now! I always build my own bowl, and it's always great. I did a to-go order for pickup. It was very crowded when I went in, and they were out of lids for cups, and straws, so I just took my drink without those things - no big deal, and drank it on the way home. The cucumber mint lemonade was delicious! I did order a free pita, and an extra pita with tzatziki sauce on the side. They gave me the sauce, but no pita. :( It was so crowded, it was not worth asking for a refund. Otherwise, everything tasted great. Will definitely be back whenever I am back in town.

We went for the New York pizza instead of the brick oven pizza, and I think we should have gone brick oven for sure. It's just that the brick ovens only come in 12 inches, and if you go to New York, then you can get a larger pizza. Anyway, the pizza seemed light on the sauce and lacking a little flavor, but not so bad. Their salads are great, and they even let us bring our own bottle of wine for a 15 corkage fee, which is awesome. I'm always happy to find restaurants that let you bring your own wine. Not a bad experience, and we'll probably come back and try their pastas or their brick oven pizza instead.

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture because I had already eaten half and saved the other half in my work fridge for tomorrow's lunch AND dinner-that's how big the portions are! My order (create a bowl-this would be considered a grain bowl but they also offer half and half bowls with a grain and choice of lettuce) consisted of: -Dips and spreads: tahini hummus, tzatziki cucumber -Protein: chicken souvlaki (it was EXTRA seasoned and tender today! But it always is:) -Toppings (my favorite part and it's fun to switch them up!): cauliflower tabbouleh, organic quinoa (damn-I didn't need auto correct for that-small victories in life are what's up), marinated chickpeas, marinated mushrooms, spicy cherry peppers, roasted garlic (my absolute favorite along with marinated mushrooms and spicy cherry peppers), corn salad. *I sometimes substitute with the seasoned fries because they are the skinny fries and are the bomb. I find it hard to trust someone who doesn't like a beautifully seasoned skinny fry. Not done! Sauces: lemon/lime tahini mild (this was my first time trying it and it fit perfectly with the more nuttier flavors as well with the chicken) as it cut with acidity! Also I had the chug cilantro spicy jalapeño (probably my favorite thing in this menu). It must be said that the prices here are pretty dope compared to any restaurant today. Especially compared with another "similar" known restaurant that doesn't offer nearly as many authentic choices.
