    Extremely disappointed. I became a huge fan of Cava while visiting Chicago. The food at the Canton location is way better than the Detroit location. My online pick up order came half empty with little to none of the ingredients I selected. It look like someone just threw all the ingredients together quickly and the rice wasn’t throughly cooked. The food wasn’t fresh. Please do better. This food isn’t cheap!

    Not real Mediterranean Expanded -Everything ran smooth line was long but fast my opinion is those deep flavors you get from a real Mediterranean restaurant just aren’t there. I’d compare it to the difference between Taco Bell and authentic Mexican food. Even as a quick bite, it’s just not there. For a $17 bowl, you could easily find a real Mediterranean spot with lunch specials that come with fresh bread and garlic the pita bread was 6$ and not fresh like a nice family restaurant

    Quite honestly this was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a “fast food” restaurant. From the staff to the WELL seasoned food. It has brought out a moment with in me that reminds me of the good ole days. Ya know…The days when kids used to play outside. The lamb is to die for. By die I mean deceased and brought back to life. Plus their head wraps are so cute. Like where can I buy one? Canva head wrap merch?? Gimme 14 of them

    I personally want to state that this was one of the best mediterranean meals i’ve had since living downtown Detroit. I travel around to different restaurants downtown and one thing that it was missing was affordable, delicious food. On top of that, the atmosphere in the dine in area is very much so aesthetically pleasing. the staff was overly friendly & very much so inviting while exposing the menu which helped create a very delicious bowl.

    I had an amazing meal at CAVA! I ordered a bowl with grilled steak and honey chicken over saffron basmati rice, topped with romaine lettuce and pickled red onions — it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The roasted corn and tzatziki added the perfect touch! I also tried their lavender drink, which was light, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the meal. The staff was friendly, and everything was prepared quickly and beautifully. Definitely my new go-to spot for a healthy and satisfying meal! Highly recommend!
