My friend Jax from school works here and told me to come and he’ll hook me up with a free meal. So after my youth group I came and we talked and I forgot what it was called, but he got me the spicy chicken and avocado I think. And he also gave me a cookie, which was very kind of him! I came home to eat it and it was incredible. It was very filling and tasted so fresh and was full of different flavors. 11/10 give Jax a rasise!

This place is great absolutely amazing. The bowls are so fulfilling. So many options to choose from & the employees are the best with their fast pace. The flavor that is in the proteins(meats) is top tear. I eat cava at least 2x a week. Thanks for having one on hwy280…

Good quality food but portion size was dismal as you can see in my picture. $16 for this? I looked at the 2 bowls being made behind me in line for takeout and the food was packed in enough the lid smashed it all in. I asked if they could give me more and they said it would look the same if they remade it. This is with the upcharge honey chicken which you can see is barely there, rice, 3 toppings, and sauce.

I really don't want to like this place since they bought out Zoe's just to add store locations. But is it very good. I usually get most everything they have and it makes for very flavorfull bowls. My family loves it too. It is a bit pricey for fast casual but everything is going up these days.

Cava in Birmingham offers a fresh, fast-casual Mediterranean dining experience that’s both flavorful and customizable. The concept is simple but satisfying: build your own bowls, salads, or pitas with a variety of proteins like grilled chicken, falafel, lamb, or salmon, and top them with fresh vegetables, grains, and signature sauces. Each bite bursts with vibrant flavors, from the tangy tzatziki to the smoky harissa and zesty lemon herb dressings.
The ingredients taste fresh, and the customizable menu makes it easy to create a meal that fits any dietary preference—vegetarian, gluten-free, or protein-packed. Portions are generous, and the food feels healthy without sacrificing taste.
