CAVA
CAVA specializes in healthy, fast-casual Mediterranean Cuisine. Think meaty-yet-tender Kalamata olives from the southern Peloponnese region of Greece, and pita made with freshly milled flours and sprouted grains. CAVA offers a lot of bold, Mediterranean flavor combinations for a wide range of palates. That means spicy harissa, tender braised lamb, herbaceous skhug, crispy falafel, creamy tzatziki, grilled meatballs, smoky roasted eggplant dip, and more.
