First time here and I'm in love! Walked in and was greeted by smiling, happy faces and they were more than helpful since I told them it was my first time. I got a bowl with greens and grains (black lentils!!) as the base and I chose falafel and braised lamb as my proteins. That braised lamb, though! After all was said and done, I had a bowl filled (like, filled) with amazing flavors and a delicious watermelon mint beverage to wash it all down. Bri, the manager came around to the tables and struck up a conversation with me. She was genuine and you could tell that she loves her job and where she works. They are lucky to have her! Every time I'm back in Charlotte, I will be back to Cava. Can't wait until there's one in my hometown of St. Louis.
