About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for groups
Prepare to indulge in unique Greek-inspired dishes, skillfully crafted by talented Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. All dishes are served mezze style—in small plates, but with portions large enough to share. Cava’s mezze-style dining inspires conversation and laughter at the table. The dim candle-lighting and black and white family photos adorning Cava’s charming brick interior walls creates a welcoming atmosphere. A dining experience at Cava is incomplete without a glass of wine. So pair your meal with one of our upscale, yet affordable wines.

    Daniela was helpful, pleasant and efficient. The food was magnificent, especially the lamb shank with orzo, octopus and Brussels sprouts.

    We always LOVE the Cava Mezze restaurants we go to when we are in Olney and Rockville. But this time we ordered the sharable meals and instead of coming on seperate plates they were delivered on a cookie sheet. The food was arranged over very greasy fries so it made the other food less appealing. We had raved about this place, and maybe it would have been ok to get the individual tapas but this was embarassing for us with our guests. So disappointing... it's usually outstanding when we go to the other locations.

    While we were there relatively late on a weekday night; the tasting platter we ordered was somewhat dry and over cooked- as if it had been grilled earlier- and was sitting under a heat lamp for a couple of hours. The chicken skewers, the meatballs and the gyro meat were all overdone and too dry
