    This is one of my favorite restaurants. The dishes are imaginative without being too fussy. I have not had a bad bite here. Everything I have tried has been delicious and full of flavor without being overly spicy. Will be back again and again.

    Mother's Day dinner. Food was delicious as always. Sat outside and enjoyed the glorious day to compliment the wonderful food. You can't go wrong here. Any complaints, ask for Gus, he'll make it right, right away.

    Such a fun spot for delicious brunch. They were so helpful with my dietary restrictions, the service was attentive and fast, and the food was great value for the money. Even the decaf coffee was good. The only downside was the NOISE. Ooh, it's loud. Sooo loud. But, it was a full house with lots of kids, so maybe you'll get luckier. Worth it for the food, tho!

    Cava is always a hit from grandchildren to grandparents and everyone in between. It was a bit busy and loud but the food and service was on point. We did brunch mania and enjoyed the 25 cent mimosas!

    Love Cava's new brunch menu. Their service, always very good, has gotten even better. I especially appreciate their efforts to improve the pacing of the courses so multiple dishes aren't arriving at the same time. Cava aims to please, and succeeds!

    We love dining at Cava Mezze in Olney! Gus makes us feel right at home every time. As busy as it was at dinner on a Saturday night, Gus stopped by our table and chatted with us for a while and even checked on us several times throughout dinner. We had the hummus (always so delicious, and the crispy pita bread is the best!) and the Chef's special--so much food! I enjoyed the gyro and lamb the most. The spicy meatballs were also very delicious. Our server, Tia, was excellent. She was cheerful, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. She refilled my Coke repeatedly without my having to ask. We were looking forward to the Sokolata dessert, but they had run out. We had the Loukoumades, and they were indeed tasty. Hopefully, the next time we dine at Cava Mezze, we can indulge in the Sokolata. Thank you for a great meal!

    Definitely recommend. Service great, food very good, noise level - LOUD. I asked a manager who came by our table about an appetizer I saw others eating. Next thing I know a complimentary one shows up at our table. There were a couple of other similar attention to detail/hospitality that were above and beyond. Will return.
