I am behind on the CAVA train, oh my God, I was missing out!!!! Take all my money, forever!!!!!!
It is so good. I am left speechless or maybe just saying "it's so gooooooood!!!" Like a thousand times a day. Torturing my friends and family with constant messages about how good it is.
It all started 3 days ago, when I was having a rough day and I placed an online order real close to their closing time (sorry about that!!!!). I came home and ate it- mind blown? ALL THE WAY!!!!!
That night I was dreaming of the perfectly pickled onions, the taste of dill, parsley, the garlicy sauces, the crunch, literally PERFECT BITES EVERY SINGLE TIME, the inviting super pleasant smell and whatever else was the perfect storm in my bowl.
When I got up on day #2, I already knew what dinner will be and it was great indeed. Just outrageously good.
The chicken though? It's like it went through some seasoning advanced extremely exclusive university- absolutely delicious. The most delicious, clearly well marinated, grilled chicken by far.
One of the wonderful employees there let me try a bbq pita because I wanted to know if I'd like it before my next order and it was the perfect amount of bbq and just enough spicy that it's just perfect.
Day 3 was today and beside the continuous excellent customer service I received there, as well, every box I didn't know was there was marked- after this food, I'll be spoiled forever, i do not think I can eat anything else.
I swear for the last couple years, maybe due to age or COVID, or life, it's like the taste of food became dull and food just was meh, but this- this was like how I imagine hearing Winter by Antonio Vivaldi in live concert is- an almost like out of body experience of all good things syncing together. (Or Pissacaglia by Pianovus- both incredible, different yet core reaching level of incredible.)
I realize how weird this review is and i feel like the Public needs to know that CAVA IS IT. THIS IS THE PLACE YOUR EXPECTIONS WILL BE EXCEEDED.
It's almost like that hopeless feeling of drowning but still getting air and I guess you're alive still but it's just unpleasant going day to day, years in this, your neck hurting, hands achy, and skin uncomfortable but you're just there...... And then, you try this and youre somewhere else, perhaps in a beautiful restaurant on top of a rocky mountain almost like caved in somewhere over looking architecture of stone buildings, maybe a smell of clay, below a sea, with a light breeze in the warm May evening. Youre wearing something nice and looking your most beautiful flawless self and feeling just absolutely perfect. This is how this tastes like, in a few words.
Obviously a trillion times highly recommend.

ALL THE STARS!!!!!! Except instead, a tridents-

Hey! You don't need to wait on a lucky star, this is it- place that order and connect with the happy, alive part of YOU.

Unrelated, who knew there was BLACK LENTILS!!!!???!!!!!!?! I LOVE LENTILS AND DID NOT!!!!!!! THESE ARE AMAZING! ITS LIKE A NEW WORLD OPENED UP.
AND THEN, I ended up for the first time ever pickling my own red onions and just did mushrooms for fun- doubt I'll come close to how CAVA does it but I just got inspired.
Thank you to the owner of this place for blessing us or at least me with this.
