“I love the Summerville location. I get the power greens salad w/ veggies and sit on the patio. Always fresh, clean, and the staff is awesome to interact with.“

“Delicious catering today! Everything was piping hot and right on time. First time ordering, will definitely order again.“

“After reading many of the reviews I was a bit hesitant about trying out this particular Cava for the 1st time. But my hesitation soon subsided when I walked in and was greeted by a very pleasant young lady, I believe her name was Ashleigh (pronounced Ashley). She was so patient and kind. She answered my questions and prepared my delicious bowl with excellent customer service. Great job, Ashleigh! Delicious food, Cava!
My only critique would be that all of the tables could have benefited from periodic wipe downs - they do not look very well maintained. Shine the place (customer area) up a bit, indoor & outdoor. Your customers will appreciate it!“

“10/10 would recommend this place to everyone! I tried several dishes on their menu while I was visiting Columbia. Their dishes, from the pizza’s to the the desserts, tasted fresh and delicious. The staff were incredibly nice!“

“My favorite restaurant in town. Great consistent flavors, the most friendly helpful staff and large portions. Not to mention every single dish tastes good. Can't go wrong here.“

“Great food and excellent service! I tried stuffed grape leaves and Chicken Chawarma. All was just great!“

“The food was good. The dressing was not as flavorful as other CAVA visits.. The service was ok. The atmosphere is not one where you would want to stay. We stopped to sit and have our dinner to prepare for a four hour road trip. Unfortunately, the back wall of seats looked as if someone had been walking across it with dirty shoes and was rather filthy.“

“This is our favorite place to eat in Columbia! The Damascus Chicken or Lamb is amazing. Everything here is amazing actually. Plus the restaurant is really clean. We love it.“

“Tried this establishment for the first time, and I was really impressed. I ordered the Chicken Gyro and Pasta, and their Mediterranean Salad. The Gyro was very flavorful, the chicken was seasoned well, and the sauce made it even more tasty. The Mediterranean Salad was also delicious, the dressing with the salad was delicious!“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere!“

“Food is wonderful and made when you get there. Prices are reasonable.“

“The food was good, the service was excellent, and prices were fair. This place is open for breakfast and lunch. There were vegetarian options. I had a grilled portobello sandwich with coleslaw and a slice of pecan pie for dessert.“

“The food was great and the staff was amazing!! Recommend the chicken parm.“

“I'd say I'm pretty much a regular at the Summerville location. Unfortunately the last two times I headed in right around 8:45pm I was denied service. I was told that they stop serving at 8:45pm as they close at 9pm. Mind you the entry was open allowing customers to come in. Does anyone know if this is a company policy/ standard to say the stores opens until 9pm but take no more orders past 8:45p? I totally understand their workers aren't happy with their jobs and want to get out just as quickly but please help me to understand.“
