Very good food! And healthy! The line to order took over half an hour though. Only one gal working the front. Took Forever but it was worth it. Yum. I had the chicken bowl. It was a bit pricey for what you get though.

It was my first time at cava and was little overwhelmed by the options. Dante and Corey both took their time to explain the options to me and were really friendly and patient. Good quantities and price, clean place, food was amazingly fresh and delicious. Glad I chose this place to pop into, will be back :)

The African American lady with the tattoos is insufferable, why does she have such an attitude? The food was decent but the portion size is so small.

I'm disappointed with CAVA Westwood lately. Despite being a loyal customer who spends around $28-29 per visit for one year, I've noticed the portions getting smaller and they're charging extra for things like a little more rice even though I don't get any dips. To make matters worse, the staff is unprofessional and inattentive. They've messed up my order three times by not following my instructions, like the time I asked for the sauce on the side and they put it right inside the bowl. I won't be going back to this again.

Love CAVA and have been going to a couple locations , but had a bad experience with one of the female employees who was rude when I asked for a new cup. Then I was waiting for a bag and she lashed out on me, didn’t seem like she was happy to be working there ??

Amidst the culinary delights that CAVA has long offered, an unexpected sour note was introduced to the experience by an African American associate marked with tattoos. Her approach to service was marinated in a noticeable attitude, and she distributed the portions with a miserly hand, skimping on the generosity that one might expect. Having been a patron who savored the rich tapestry of flavors at CAVA, this episode has unfortunately seasoned my perspective with disappointment, leading me to the decision to no longer frequent this establishment. ???????????If this is the decision from the corporate to offer abysmally small positions to the customers, please remember that customers are expected to be full after a meal. This is not a michelin star restaurant
Today, my trip to Cava turned out to be a huge letdown, a stark contrast to my usual positive experiences at eateries like Chipotle. It all started with the rice – or, should I say, the lack thereof. I was handed a bowl with barely enough rice to cover the bottom, a sight so disappointing it set the tone for what was to come. When I asked for just a bit more, I was told it would cost extra. This felt ridiculous, especially since I've never faced such a restriction at Chipotle.Then came the moment to choose my meat. I opted for lamb, only to find out the base price was $17, which is $5 more than the most expensive option at Chipotle, the Carne Asada. While the price reflected the costs of what could've been a sit down meal, I could've overlooked the price difference if the portion had been generous. Instead, I received one tiny pinch of lamb.But the real kicker came with the sauces. I wanted a mix of garlic sauce, tzatziki, and some yogurt sauce to bring some flavor to my meal. To my disbelief, I was informed that choosing three sauces was not an option. The idea that they couldn't spare a drizzle of an extra sauce was beyond me. It's not just about the sauce; it's about the principle. The fact that such simple requests were met with denial left a sour taste in my mouth, far worse than any sauce could've fixed.Adding to the frustration of my visit to Cava was the incredibly long line I had to endure, a testament to either its popularity or perhaps a lack of efficient service. The wait time was exacerbated by noticeably slow workers who seemed more preoccupied with fulfilling online orders than attending to the customers waiting in line. This prioritization of online orders over in-person service not only extended my wait time but also contributed to a growing sense of neglect among those of us standing there. Such an imbalance in service, where digital convenience trumps the traditional dine-in experience, only further dampened what was already shaping up to be a disappointing visit. This stark contrast in efficiency and customer care when compared to my usual experiences elsewhere, like Chipotle, solidified my decision that my first visit to Cava would indeed be my last.Comparing this experience to Chipotle, where I've noticed they might skimp on the meat but are always generous with everything else, the choice becomes clear. The restrictions on sauces, the stinginess with basic components like rice, and the overall lack of value for the price have all ensured that my first visit to Cava will be my last. I'm sticking with Chipotle, where the experience feels more straightforward and satisfying.

The food was very good I will definitely be eating here
CAVA is my go to place for lunch, however that has changed. I usually get the Harissa Chicken bowl. The past few weeks the serving sizes on my bowl have been very poor. There is a very scarce amount of chicken and toppings served. The white saffron rice does not have any seasoning and the dressing tastes old refrigerated. The customer service is also poor, I have called the store several times and never get a response. The manager (old Mexican man) does a poor job at addressing my concerns and the cashier (African American male) has plenty of attitude when asking for utensils. Aside from that, the restaurant is always poorly maintained, trash cans are fool and it is very musty inside. Honestly I am not sure how this place has a grade A, this place deserves a C at most the way things are maintained. If you can stay AWAY from this place, I will no longer be dining here.

Low quantity food. It is not filling at all. I built my bowl and ended up paying nearly $18 and was still feeling hungry after the food. They put a few spoons of rice and a very few quantity of protein. It is not an ideal place, especially for students, to go considering what you pay and what you get. Some of the servers are not friendly as well. Overall it hasn't been a good experience for me.
