Growing up I rarely ate Mediterranean/Greek food, it just wasn’t available where we lived, but since moving to DC a few years ago it has become one of my favorites. I could probably eat it every day and now I’m a lucky duck because Cava Grill just opened near by! There are only a few locations for Cava Grill in the DC metro area, but if you happen to find yourself near one you need to stop in and try it.
I would describe Cava Grill as a fast casual-style restaurant, with their process being similar to Chipotle or Roti, where you choose your base (i.e. pita, salad, rice), then choose your dips & spread (i.e. hummus, tzatziki, crazy feta), then you choose your protein and your toppings. Their menu is relatively easy to understand and everything I have tried is delicious.
I usually go for the salad base and you must try the crazy feta. It is feta cheese with a few jalapenos in it, not too hot, but super yummy. Making my mouth water as I write the description! The salad comes with a small pita on the side as well, so it’s less bread overall, but you still get to enjoy the pita if you want too. Eat up!
