Ellie, the staff at the counter, was very helpful and pointed out the burrata bowl option (I love burrata!) Feeling thankful already for the friendly service, I told her that I was ready to pay-- and then to my utter surprise, she told me that my meal was FREE and not to worry about it! My jaw dropped and I said-- no you don't have to do that!-- but she said it was her pleasure since it was my first time there. Wow! And the food was amazing too! Highly recommend!“

Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“PS this is in a shared restaurant called Healthy Bistro, and they both get a joint highest recommendation. I wish they were everywhere, instead of ff chains (that I do not patronize.

SO good. I had the eggplant special, but first I wanted to try something more adventurous. The spicy meatballs with marinara and sour cream (??) did not disappoint. The lentil soup... the (complimentary) baklava... salad, millet(?)... everything was superb.

Sorry to deduct for the atmosphere. I'm used to the country, I think. Actually, I'll put a star back, because the kitchen is all right in front of your face. They're not hiding.“

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“

“The service was fantastic. Sat at the bar with friends. Food was great, however my friend said her shrimp dish was a bit lite on the crustaceans.
The cocktails were fantastic.
They eat there all the time. It was my first, but will be heading back for sure“

“Alright, Cava, you’ve done it again. I’m trying to watch what I eat, and you’re over here making it impossible with your ridiculously good food. Seriously, every single time I come here, I end up getting more than I planned because it all just looks and tastes too amazing to resist. The customizable bowls are my downfall – so fresh and flavorful!

And don’t even get me started on the staff. Always so friendly and helpful, even when there’s a huge line. They make the whole experience even better, which is dangerous for my diet. I swear, they must be trained to tempt people into ordering extra toppings.

Since it’s the closest location to me, Cava has become my go-to spot, which is both a blessing and a curse. My taste buds are happy, but my wallet and waistline? Not so much. I just wish they weren’t so good at what they do!“

“Food was excellent! One of the best tasting lamb shank & baghali polo I've had, and I've had this dish at a lot of Persian restaurants. Although my meal didn't include it, but my friend's order included freshly baked naan-like bread. Highly recommend this casual eatery. They also offer family style food at a reasonable price. Perfect for those nights you want to serve a good healthy meal to your family, without having to spend hours in the kitchen.“

“I had the pleasure of interacting with the owner of this restaurant who was so helpful in navigating the simple menu. The food was amazing. And he treated my friend and I to complimentary watermelon frescas. Next time I am in the area I will be having lunch here again!“

“Friendly staff, good service, good food. Very clean restaurant.“

“What a gem of a restaurant, the quality is clear the second you see the food. The taste is fresh and the bowls are so colorful and nutritious. Great value for the generous portions also. Top not service- my go to restaurant for lunch! Also Rotisserie Chicken is great to pick up for dinner and take home to my family!“

“Me encanta panini a mi familia y a mi por su puesto. Muy rico todo.“

“Better than Halal Guys. Yeah I said it. Go taste for yourselves.“
