Just when I thought being healthy couldn't also be delicious BOOM I find Cava and it's my new go to food obsession. I'm one of those people where it's super hard for me to find repeat places to go that hit all the marks. Freshness, flavor, vibe, low calorie etc and Cava is all those things without being bougie about it. I've been to a few locations, but the one in Woodland Hills is my favorite! And Nancy who works there is soooo helpful and sweet! She set the tone for a great experience. Something told me to try the Cava in Woodland Hills today and I'm so happy that I did! This is my new go to location!

The food was fresh and delicious, and the team did a great job despite what seemed like challenging conditions. My only concern was the temperature inside the restaurant. During the 10 minutes I was there, it felt extremely hot and uncomfortable, to the point where I was sweating while waiting to order. I'm not sure if the AC was broken or not running, but with food being cooked as well, it felt unusually warm inside. I felt bad for both the customers and employees working in those conditions. Overall, I had a positive experience and would definitely return. I just hope the temperature issue gets addressed soon.

We chose Ayvana Persian Restaurant to host my father's Celebration of Life, with nearly 50 family…read moremembers and friends attending, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. From the atmosphere and private-event space to the service and incredible food, everything was excellent. The restaurant provided a beautiful and welcoming setting that felt both elegant and intimate--exactly what we hoped for on such an important and emotional day. The staff did an outstanding job taking care of our group. They were attentive, professional, kind, and accommodating throughout the entire event. Hosting almost 50 people is no small task, yet everything flowed smoothly and never felt overwhelming or rushed. The food was another highlight. The Persian cuisine was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and plentiful. Our guests genuinely enjoyed the meal, and we heard so many compliments about the food and the restaurant. What meant the most to us was being able to spend the day remembering and celebrating my father without having to worry about the event itself. The team at Ayvana created an environment where our family could simply be together, share stories, enjoy a wonderful meal, and honor his life. We will always associate Ayvana with a very meaningful day for our family, and we are sincerely grateful for the care and hospitality they showed us. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ayvana for a private event, family gathering, special occasion, or simply an excellent Persian meal.

I came here for lunch and the empty parking lot and lack of any other customers should have set off…read moremy alarm bells. Inside it's old but relatively clean, but again empty and kind of depressing. The strip mall it's in isn't exactly attractive either. I was in a small group and problems started as soon as we started ordering. The surly, bored looking cashier kept telling us they are out of shawarma, they can't do wraps, they have no eggplant, they don't have this other stuff or that stuff... like half the menu was unavailable. We order and before the food comes out, he tells us even the stuff we ordered, much is unavailable. The food came and while some of the grilled pork was okay, some was burnt black and some was medium rare. Look, some people will eat that, but if you're cooking pork like that you have to ask - don't just give people pink-inside pork. Parts of my group were grossed out. I will say, the quantities are decent. But the quality is meh. Nothing special. There's nothing special here, the food came out very slow, the one guy working took a smoke break after giving us the food so we were alone for a while. Just weird and depressing. I do appreciate they don't have the nerve to ask for a tip, as I'd be pretty annoyed if I had given one.

Parking: the parking plaza is small but it doesn't get crowded. So you'll always find parking. If…read morenot, there is street parking on the side as well. Customer service: the owner is always there being cheerful and greeting every customer that comes in. If it's your first time, he walks you through the menu and helps you choose something that suits your tastebud. He's also accommodating and understanding if you want to switch something or have a complaint. Inside: dine in is allowed and there is plenty of seating. There is a paper menu at every table so you can sit down and order from there or go up to the register to order. Food: there are plenty of options on the menu to choose from. What I recommend ordering is #19, because you get beef and chicken in your plate. The meat is very soft so you don't need a knife to cut it. The rice is seasoned perfectly with a hint of lemon to give you flavor. As for the grilled vegetables, they're on the sweet side but be careful of the jalapeños seeds as they give you a little kick. As for the salad, it was absolutely delicious. Everything I've ordered from this restaurant has been exceeding my expectations. The portions are also huge and worth the price. I'd definitely come again and bring my friends and family here!

They use a tasty Sourdough bread, sliced not too thick, not too thin. Filled with roasted beets, chevre, fig jam, and balsamic vinegar. FULL of beets, roasted to perfection. Fig jam takes this sandwich from good to great. Walnuts in the jam add a surprising crunch. Vinegar balances the chevre. Often grilled cheese sandwiches in restaurants are oozing cheese, so I was delighted this is light on the cheese, the perfect amount to add flavor without detracting from the star ingredients. Sandwiches come with a side of fries which can be upgraded to another side for a nominal fee. The Sweet Potato Tater Tots are delightful, not greasy, not heavy, generous portion. We get them without the truffle oil. Valerie took excellent care of us. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and good suggestions were so valuable. She creates a welcoming friendly atmosphere. Large dog friendly patio with comfy seats around firepits, on quiet street perfect for outdoor dining.

This is a good spot if you are interested in trying out some middle eastern style food. Falafels are not bad, they can be a bit crispier and cooked thoroughly inside. Flavors are simple. The sauce can improve as the mayonnaise is strong in it. I ordered with double the meat and got the same amount as usual. Maybe they forgot but at $8.99 as a charge I think it's rather unfair. That's why I dinged them one star. Service is fast. Haven't ever sat inside but looks casual and chill. Hopefully next time they don't forget.

The name is definitely fitting--it really does feel like a little "hideout" tucked away in the business park! Thank you, ChatGPT, for the recommendation! Otherwise, I might have missed this little gem. A helpful tip if it's your first visit: look for the flags along the street--they'll help you know where to turn and park. Once you find it, you'll be glad you did! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was amazing. The cashier was incredibly patient with all of our questions and happily offered recommendations. We also had the chance to chat with the owner, who was so sweet and welcoming. We had such a great conversation with him, and you can tell there's a lot of care behind this place. I ordered the Turkey Cobb Salad, and it did not disappoint! The lettuce was fresh and crisp, and they were very generous with the avocado, bacon, cheese, egg, and turkey. The dressing was delicious and brought everything together perfectly. We sat outside in the shaded seating area, which was perfect for catching up over lunch. It was comfortable, peaceful, and made for a really nice afternoon. They also offer catering, which I'll definitely be recommending to my workplace the next time we need food for an event or meeting. Great food, wonderful people, and excellent service. Definitely a hidden gem worth finding! I'll absolutely be stopping by again when I get the chance.

It definitely does feel like a little hideout here and there's plenty of shaded outside sitting. The order at the cashier was quick and easy and they were friendly as well. The food was okay. Portion size is great and looks better than what I got. I got the egg white wrap and the ingredients did feel well prepared together. It did seem to lack flavor even with the added salsa on the side. The prices were a little bit more than what you expect for this but I guess it does make sense for the larger portion size. You can basically split one of these wraps or take the other half to go as it is loaded. Overall, I had a good experience here and if you want a fast casual restaurant for breakfast or lunch, this is not a bad spot!
