    The tomato paste with spices is a great starter. The tzatziki is spot in with creamy yoghurt and lots of cucumber. And the chicken thigh souvlaki with yogurt, lemon, and bits of hazelnut is v tasty!

    I ordered saganaki and octopus.Roxy might be my new bff and Anthony makes an amazing drink called Jammin on Lamb (lamb washed knob creek, bitters, simple syrup, and roasted rosemary!). Life changing.

    Not one bad dish here. From the saganaki cheese to the scallop and risotto dish. We tried it all and were not disappointed. Be sure to try the lamb meatballs and the chicken souvlaki dishes. Baklava..

    It worth the try. I liked the starter menu way better than main course. It is a good option for date night of hangout with friends.

    Love this place. Excellent, knowledgeable service, great cocktail list ($5 on Mondays!), wonderful, inventive menu, and SO filling. The gnocchi, French toast, grilled octopus were incredible.

    This is our favorite place to go to for brunch! The french toast is AMAZING & we love our waitress Heidi to pieces. Yanni is a great waiter also. Other best bets: the lamb chops & the home fries.

    The zucchini fritters are so good. Lots of vegetarian options. Special details make the cocktails worth sipping.

    No matter what you order, save room for dessert, because the French Toast is to die for! As is the baklava! And if you ever need "comfort food" an order of lamb chops & Cava fries is a must!

    I got takeout at the Ronald Reagan Washington Airport. $12 for a rice based bowl, filled with roast veggies and chicken and sauces. Absolutely delicious.

    Went to Cava for brunch and was disappointed that none of their delicious spreads were included as a part of the brunch menu - made the selection poor for vegetarians!

    For a newcomer or first-time customer, keep in mind the food here are just tiny appetizers and high quality liquor drinks. If you are looking to eat, not drink, I recommend the Cava Grill instead.

    Went to Cava a couple of weeks ago, and it was AMAZING. For some theatrics, be sure to order the saganaki (fried Greek cheese--yes, it's as incredible as it sounds). Your server will light it on fir Read more

    Baby octopus salad is a must. Grilled octopus is perfectly crispy + charred on outside, tender inside. Refreshing mixed with salami and apples and vinaigrette.

    The Filet Mignon Eggs Bennedict had a distict flavor of liver. Ask for a steak knife too. When two people order brunch and one orders mezze make sure your server times everything right or else.
