How
have I lived in the same community all these years and not have realized a
popular restaurant chain called Cava Mezze Grill had come in? My friend
introduced Cava to me over the summer after they had opened for over a year in
the Kentlands neighborhood in suburban Maryland. Now I am obsessed.
Up
until then, I was in love with Chipotle. But Cava’s take is Mediterranean, healthier,
and a larger serving. The fast casual concept is the same in that you walk down
a line and customize your bowl. However, there is more of a variety in choices.
I
ordered a bowl, half of salad and half of rice. Between the well-done protein
options of chicken, braised beef, lamb, and meatballs, I chose chicken. My go-to
dip and spread is hummus and tzatziki. The toppings I got were cabbage slaw,
quinoa, tomato + cucumber salad, and pita crisps. All of these different textures
give the bowl a fresh and flavorful taste with every bite. Last but not least, I
chose the Greek vinaigrette dressing to drizzle over the giant bowl of
ingredients. After 30 minutes, the $9 meal was all gone.
I
honestly believe that any combination of what they offer would be delicious. The
service is fast and friendly. They are patient and explain what kinds of
dipping and dressings they have. Cava also has several interesting drink
options such as the Watermelon Mint juice.
I
love this place and I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t tried Cava yet!
