    This is my new go to place for chicken shawarma. I was recently diagnosed with Alpha Gal sensitivity, and their menu offers a lot delicious options that are mammal-free.

    If you like Cava this one does a good job and IMO it's better than all of the other chain theme restaurants in the area. It's better than the Mexican style chain in the same parking lot. What I mean is it's the equivalent of it's sibling restaurants in other areas. While most of the other chain restaurants, in this area, aren't as good as their sibling restaurants in other areas. If that doesn't make sense to you, I'm sorry. Also is your think this area has high quality chain restaurants we definitely have different expectations and experiences. They are usually busy but keep the line moving. They have good quality offerings and the flavor is as good as any Cava I've been to. It's guy a little Mediterranean style to it but I'll put it this way: it's Mediterranean if you think Chipotle is Mexican. Don't take that as a negative but if you are in the Armenian area in California or Lebanese areas in New York or East Coast you should know what I mean. Cava has its own flare and does what it does very well. Plus it's a nice change from other big name chain fast food restaurants. Give it a try and I think you'll be pleased.

    Amazing food and service! I was there during a busy lunch and the employees were friendly, patient and able to answer my questions about allergies. The dining room was clean and attended to regularly. No complaints, I will definitely be back!

    Was just here and there was 2 large things in my kids pita that were rock hard. I almost chipped my tooth. I went to show the lady working the register, she showed her friend and then told me she didn’t know what it was. They didn’t offer any kind of refund or anything. That’s very disappointing.
