“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“Lots of seating, great atmosphere, everyone was nice and the water station they have set up is much appreciated. The portions are just right, so you won't leave hungry. Love the coffee options. Very family friendly. We had a party of 10 and they did a fabulous job putting out the food, great staff. Unfortunately, the parking situation is bad. We drove around for about 25 minutes to find a place to park. Absolutely worth it though!

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly.“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“Friendly service. No frills, good food. Fast.

The kefta was dry but the beef kebab is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back for more.

They give you 2 skewers standard with your order which is a great value. Get another one for 7 bucks.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“only downside is the parking, you have to engage on a busy Pasadena Street possibly even walk some steps over there but it is more than worth it! Fresh and delicious scrumptious food, where the owners really really really take pride in and care about what they are providing to others. check out their menu, dont miss this gem.“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“Wonderful place to celebrates Valentine’s Day“

“Overall my experience was exceptional. I’m so grateful for not only the tastey cuisine but for the proper facilities provided for patrons like myself who have IBS -Type M and live with alternating (sometimes instantaneous) bowel habits -I never know what my experience is going to be like dining-in and zankou chicken has allowed me to continue to dine in with my friends and dates without any worry that I won’t make it to the bathroom in time. This location’s restroom is in clear sight, accessible, has multiple stalls and they always keep extra toilet paper stocked incase it’s an IBS -Type D day (if you know what I mean!) Haha anyways, I just wanted to post this to spread awareness of IBS Type-M incase there is anyone out there afraid to enjoy their favorite Mediterranean restaurant with the ease knowing your pants will stay doo doo free (srry for not using scientific terms sometimes you just gotta make the most of it and laugh ;D )“

“Would recommend this place. Especially the falafel, might be the best I've ever had! Very crispy on the outside with a soft and tasty filling. Big portions, we had enough to also bring home some of it for breakfast the day after. Liked the variety of all the different food such as feta, salad, humus, pita, lentil soup. Also very kind and genuine family who runs the place, thanks a lot!“

“Recently my nephew got married and on his reception taken place on universal city Hilton hotel and we found Mazze banquet from Pasadena for catering. The food was excellent the service was excellent everything was on time. We had 250 guests and everything went smoothly. Food quality was 10 out of 10. Service was 10 out of 10. So happy so happy. Definitely recommend.“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!“

“I was here with a group of friends (about 20 people) and everything was great. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, the entertainment/music was amazing and the cocktails were very unique. Would recommend if someone wants to celebrate a special occasion or just go have fun in a beautiful setting.“
