    A slight step up from Chipotle but the no tofu was somewhat inconvenient. vegan and vegetarian options aren't great

    Came in this AM and grabbed a Chicken and Rice bowl. Friendly staff and quicker service compared to other locations I’ve been to. Will definitely be back!

    I am very disappointed with the service and portion sizes. I ordered half a lamb (which comes with a premium upcharge) and harissa chicken. The server first scooped an appropriate portion of chicken but then proceeded to shake off nearly two-thirds of it. For the lamb, she put only a small amount in a tiny cup, draining off the gravy, and ended up giving me dry lamb on my plate. As a result, my portion was significantly smaller than my husband's. I'm not sure if this is due to a presumption that women eat less than men, or if she is simply less generous than the server who attended to him. This has happened three times now, which is particularly upsetting given that I didn’t order anything cheap. I will not be returning.

    I usually don’t leave reviews but I felt inclined to after my recent visit to Cava. I just wanted to say the food was phenomenal, not to mention the customer service provided by Jason. He was nothing less than upbeat and friendly!
