Cavany Foods: Wholesome, fast-paced healthy dining in Jersey City.

Had the best experience tonight at this restaurant. The nicest guy in the world helped us and really went above and beyond. I have ulcers and I’m gluten free so it’s tough sometimes and he helped me so much! The food was delicious and healthy and they were wonderful. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you very much guys! See you again soon!!

Excellent service, food taste fresh, the sauce of the ratatouille pops in your mouth, just enough salt and the pasta so fresh, love love love it. I'm picky and was satisfied after my first bite. The mango salad was fresh, the dressing was fresh and enjoyable. I will be coming back tomorrow. The chef is friendly, very attentive as well. They deserve 10 for freshness and taste

I was hesitant to try this place at first because of the prices, but I’m so glad I gave it a shot. The bowl size is huge — definitely generous portions — and the quality and flavor make it totally worth the value.

Going back for sure

Definitely lives up to the hype and is a perfect 10/10. I went an hour before closing at 8pm and everything tasted amazing. So much care for each of the toppings and it totally hits the spot. Perfectly curated menu. Kudos to the chef.

Cavany is amazing! The food is fine-dining level, yet incredibly accessible for takeout during the day and there is a great market inside to grab small add-ons. The service is always phenomenal. Some of our favorites are the crispy duck mango salad, the Ceviche, and the mango mojito steak. Event the salads and rice are a step above. Our friends introduced us to this place and we have been going a few times a week since. Support good people and eat fantastic food.

Cavany Foods is a really good place to go to. I personally love the food and drinks they offer. The owner is very nice, and we are friends with each other! There is also a park across the street from it that kids could play on while they wait for their food! (Written by my son, Mickey, a big fan 😀)

I don’t usually leave reviews, but after my visit to CAVANY today, I felt compelled to share my experience. Having just moved to Jersey City a week ago, I was on the hunt for a healthy yet delicious spot—and I found exactly that.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Then we had the pleasure of meeting Alejandro, the chef and owner of this incredible restaurant. His passion for food truly shines through in every dish.

Here’s what we ordered:
1. Fettuccini with creamy pesto and chicken – The homemade pasta was incredibly fresh, and the rich, flavorful pesto made for a comforting and delicious dish.
2. Custom bowl with salmon and honey ginger dressing – The salmon was cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and a tender, juicy interior. The honey ginger dressing complemented it beautifully, balancing sweetness with a hint of spice that kept me wanting more.
3. Passion fruit iced tea – Made fresh with real fruit and no added sugar. My only complaint? I finished it way too fast!

Before leaving, we had another chat with Alejandro, who was an absolute delight. Learning about his farm-to-table approach and his journey from Venezuela to opening this restaurant made the experience even more special.

Wishing him all the success—I’ll definitely be back soon, especially to try their brunch!

In my 6 years in JC, I have tried nearly every restaurant, but something about the quality and feel of the food at Cavany is different.

Many “health” focused restaurants in 2025 tend to cut corners at the expense of food quality, but here, every single thing on our plates was made from scratch in-house from a combination of organic, locally-sourced whole food ingredients. Every bite was flavorful and sublime. When speaking with chef and owner Alejandro about his restaurant, it’s clear he exudes a humble and genuine passion for his craft.

The kitchen is also extremely clean, and the restaurant has a unique and inviting ambience. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.

Love this place. My go to whenever I need some fresh ceviche. Husband typically gets a pasta dish with a protein. Food is tasty, not salty, and healthy. It’s a hidden gem.

I can’t recommend this place enough, I eat here anytime I’m in the area. It’s clean, delicious, wide variety of options and great quality ingredients. My favorites are the grilled salmon, plantain mash, chicken parm, plantain with shredded beef on top. And they have so many to go snacks. You can dine in or take out. 10/10.
