Cava - Santa Monica

I left a nearby burger place still feeling hungry and spotted a poster for falafel from this restaurant. Intrigued, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the falafel and found them to be really small, so I ended up getting double the amount. It turned out to be a mistake, as they were the worst falafel I have ever had. They resembled more of a pakora from an Indian restaurant with no texture at all. The only reason I didn't give them a 1-star rating was because they allowed me to use the restroom.

Audrey was fantastic and made our first dine-in experience dynamic. We ordered three different "Choose Your Own Bowls" and received fantastic service, great personality, and delicious food! Overall rating: 5/5.

This was definitely the best date I've had! Roger was very nice and took great care of us. The service was exceptional. We will definitely be returning. They have a variety of options for all dietary restrictions.

First time here since hearing rave reviews and they did not disappoint. I got the hassani chicken bowl and the kids pita with chicken. The bowl was delicious and very filling and I couldn't finish it all. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. The kids pita comes separated in a tray that you assemble yourself. They come with some delicious pita chips that were so flavorful, I even went back to purchase more. Besides the food, the customer service was excellent. Overall, I would definitely come back again.

20 min before closing they have nothing but brown rice and a few toppings. There were three people who were trying to order and they said they weren’t even making or hadn’t made rice. They had run out EARLIER than 20 min before closing.If you are not going to cook food for customers until closing you all should just CLOSE EARLY.Literally asked earlier what time they closed, came after work, 20 min to spare and they had nothing and didn’t care about having nothing.Absolutely inexcusable
