A very fresh and wide variety of toppings and pickles, hot shawarma to order. Select between wrap or bowl (even further customized w rice, salad, or fries as a base). I loved the eggplant dip & hummus toppings, chose a combo for my protein too. What stands out is this tastes and looks like real food, made from scratch. Filled pastries and flatbreads warmed up in an open oven fresh to top off your meal, yum!! Order at the counter. Service is fast and efficient, very nice sitting area next door to enjoy your food fresh. Pro tip: stop by the pastry shop around the corner for some delicious baclava & other fillo type desserts. Also ordering available online.

Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode". The "feast mode" size was actually challenging for three people to finish! The "hive sauce" tastes like a honey mustard with maybe mayo? It's pretty good. I really wish Flavor Hive would have additional toppings - just cucumber tomato onion cilantro etc are quite minimal. Would be awesome if they could add something like beet salad or beans! The value at this place is excellent compared to the numerous other rice / slop bowl places in the area. It is a lot of food. This place went viral on social media for a reason, and it lives up to the hype.

In particular their build your own walking tacos where you bring a bag of chips and they fill it with a cup oife of protein and toppings starting at $12. I usually keep it simple -- ground beef, white sauce, cheese, cilantro with Doritos as the base. Smacks every single time. Though I had their loaded fries once and they were tasty as well. With so many locations across the DC Metro area there's plenty of location options to go to if one is more convenient than the other.

The gyro meat was delicious, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the tzatziki really brought it all together. The feta fries were also a standout, with a nice crispy texture and great flavor. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and I liked the counter-service setup where they still bring the food to your table. Nice balance of casual and convenient. Would definitely come back for this again.

It was amazing. For more appetizers we had the apple donuts and they a HIT. We actually ordered more to go. The raspberry sauce that it comes with is also delicious. Also, the deviled eggs were 10/10! I order those anytime I see them on the menu and this restaurant did not disappoint. I had the brisket hash for my entree, and although I was already stuffed at this point, the few bites I had were incredible. It reheated well the next day too! My friend really enjoyed her biscuits and gravy. Their portion sizes are LARGE, so come with an appetite. Our waitress was very kind and service moved smoothly despite them being super busy that day. I'd certainly come back here!

I feel like it is a smoke-house masquerading as a brunch/dinner spot. Either way, IDC. The service is always consistent. The food is always a hit. The biscuits and gravy are out of this world.

Maybe that is why there are so many local locations.  This day we went to the Alexandria Cava and found a very large, clean and airy space.  The parking is a big lot right out front so it is all super easy.  The staff was helpful and friendly and the service was quick.  We chose one falafel bowl and one with harissa honey chicken.  We have no shame when it comes to the toppings so there were a lot of crunchy and spicy and creamy and you name it flavors and textures to add which makes each bit a little different and a lot enjoyable.  Cava quick serve is definitely a go to choice

Friendly Staff who was above & beyond helpful after we let him know it was our first time. (Zaki) was his name (pretty sure). He walked us through the whole ordering process. Options are many from choice of greens to meat with everything in between. You build your own creation or can choose from Fan Favorites. You can be basic or build a monster with additional add-ons. It can add up quickly so watch out. We did two bowels with side of pita chips, two cups for water. About $40 - the food is fresh & delicious (best Falafel that I have had) and per my wife healthy. Definitely enough flavor & food to satisfy and we will be back to try some other combinations.

Calling this place an "Afghan restaurant" is a disservice. Yes, that's the focus but it feels more…read morethan that. Most Afghan bistros tend to fall into one of two categories; mom-and-pop fast-food type places with an emphasis on kabobs, or dinner halls that serve a more upscale presentation of the same fare. This is something in the middle. It feels fancy, but it also feels like an eatery/take-out joint. The decor doesn't even scream 'Afghan food'. I went with a filet mignon dish; yes filet mignon! Not kebab style, but placed on a rice dish. I thought everything was well above average. The food was excellent, as well as the presentation. Side-dishes were good too.

My favorite side was the rice. The rice was pack with spices and was delicious. The side I chose was spinach and it did the job. Additionally the green hot sauce was sour and spicy. I really like it over the chicken. I would definitely recommend this spot if you crave kabobs or gyro.
