Reviews for CAVA in Richmond, VA

I'd heard good things but had yet to try this place up until now as my husband is a big fan of Mezah which is practically the... same shopping plaza. I will say the two are different enough that it is definitely worth trying one from the other and seeingwhat you like best. I think Cava is a bit pricier as they do limit you to three scoops of hummus casique or feta dip beforeupcharge for more (75¢) , but otherwise, I believe the price points to be quite similar. It could have been the atmosphere, butit felt like Mezah had more options available, but I think cava was a little simpler on the palate for those who don't wantquite as much in the way of spice. I'll be taking my husband and daughter there to get their opinions on how theycompare. Overall the food was very good, service was great and they explained everything all the way through, and theatmosphere was pleasant, clean and inviting. It was a great place to get a healthy meal to-go. Read more

This is one of my favorite spots to eat something full of flavor and the order is always done right. Service is quick, it's... always clean and staff is friendly. Sometimes they are closed on a random day unexpectedly but in these days, it'sunderstandable. Read more

Ordered online for an 8pm pickup, store says its open untill 10 got there at 759pm and they had locked up for the night with 6... people inside cleaning up, looking at me at the door. If your closing early shut down the online ordering, this is not the firsttime. Or as your staring from the store at least come to the glass at the door so I can figure out how to get my money back.Phones cut off too. Went to mezeh instead they stay open and have less staff.

Inconsistent hours and service has been going downhill with frequent mistakes and lackluster experience recently. The last bowl... I was able to actually order online was completely wrong, less than half full, and the two employees who I talked to afterdriving back over didn't seem to see the problems but at least added some more of the correct ingredients. This time I orderedonline again but arrived to see they were closed and had to email corporate for a refund. I've been having to settle forChipotle more now and might be making the drive down to Roots more again. Read more

Pretty good food, only wish they had more toppings (like Mezeh does). Their sauces were good and the staff was friendly. Keep up... the good work guys! Read more

Love Cava! Great salads and food. Taking off a star because this location will ALWAYS give me primarily burnt pita chips on the... side when I order pick up/to go. They put them in the bag completely burnt like croutons. They?re supposed to be light brown,slightly crunchy, but soft and chewy on the inside. Other than that, great. Please don?t send out burnt pita chips. Pic:burnt on left, normal on right Read more

Love the salads and the food. Great selection. I had the chicken rightrice bowl. Very good. Only reason it's not rated 5... stars for me, I could find a table inside or out that was clean. I will say they were busy, but they should have someone goingaround wiping down tables every 10-15 minutes. I wasn't the only person trying to find a clean table to sit at. Read more

Love to eat at CAVA. Green & Grain is the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned. Especially with the zing when harissa is... added. Straight salad w yogurt dill dressing is my wife's idea. Dining in is spaced out as you'd expect. Tables outside too. Read more
