Reviews for CAVA in Reston, VA
Good, healthy food at a reasonable price. This was my 2nd time at Cava, the first time with my wife. She's very familiar. While... portions were down as we remembered, we both had plenty. She had enough for lunch the next day. We went again today, and I'mfinally getting it. We both had supergreens and rice, but I had tomatoes and cucumber while she had cabbage, onions, etc. Myveggies wouldn't keep overnight, hers would, a concern since she eats a lot less than I do. Both of us had the spicy lambmeatballs, which were good as expected, but also done medium, which was not. It was a nice surprise as I expected them to bewell done. Happy to return. Read more
The older lady (might be the manager?) working here gives considerably smaller portions than normal. I barely got 4-5 leaves of... lettuce in my grains+greens bowl and only about 60-70% of the regular scoop of chicken thrown in (while paying extra for thespicy chicken) You should not be getting a different quantity of food for the same price depending on who makes your bowl. Iwould much rather go to Mezzeh to get proper portion sizes. Read more
Came here recently after one good experience, only to be served undercooked chicken. I know it can be busy, but food safety is... something that must be taken seriously, and not rushed through. They were very helpful and understanding after I brought this totheir attention, but I probably will avoid coming back for a little while. I hope this teaches them to pay attention to thesekinds of things, as food poisoning is not something you should put customers at risk of getting Read more
Look, I love CAVA and this review is specifically for this location, hopefully it can make the slightest of change. I have made... a delivery order of 2 bowls with double protein as well as a drink. All and all the total came to $45 including all the fees,taxes, delivery etc. The drink never made it and the portion was below par, definitely not double protein hardly you can say itwas 1 portion of protein, so disappointing when you pay a high price, especially during the current times?

One time they gave us uncooked rice, this time I was given a bowl that wasn?t even 3/4 full. They take forever to give you your... food too. Chipotle is right around the corner & actually does a better job of giving you your food timely & they don?t skimp! Read more
Fresh and tasty ingredients with a lot of options to make a balanced meal! If you?re not feeling super-hungry, the Kid?s Pita (a... half pita wrap) is a great option. However be aware that it only comes with one dip and two toppings so choose wisely! I highlyrecommend the falafel, crazy feta, harissa, and tzatziki! The white rice is also perfectly herby and buttery. I wish they wouldlabel their toppings as sometimes it?s hard to tell what they are. Read more
Food was very fresh and tasty the service is very fast I visited this place many times will visit again and highly recommend if... you want to try the Mediterranean food. Read more
As noted in other reviews, the staff here are extremely rude and unprofessional. I came here during 6PM on a weekday, and it was... very slow. The person serving me pulled the last two old meatballs that had clearly been sitting in the hot-hold for way toolong and then proceeds to look at me and asks me if I want half and half since they don't have any more meatballs. (all theother proteins were also old and dried up) I politely said no, do you not have more? They reluctantly go into the back and sayit will be 6 minutes to cook more. (as if it's okay for them to just be missing major proteins during dinner time when it isn'teven busy in the first place..?) I wait about 15 minutes for them to be made. The same employee proceeds to try to serve thenew/fresh meatballs on the rice that had been sitting out from the previous bowl for 15+ minutes as if it was okay to serve mecold food. Then when I asked for a new bowl to be made they put the meatballs on new rice throw it on the counter and walk awayrather than finishing the order while there is someone else getting 5+ customized items letting my food get cold once again.This entire time the restaurant is clearly staffed with plenty of employees, all of which are either on their phone or movingvery slow. After waiting another five minutes after all of this, I wave down the employee to come back since they are in theback not actually doing anything. I previously have enjoyed CAVA as a quick meal but I will never return here. Read more
