Cava Mezze

We believe in big flavor with a small footprint. Our food is made from delicious, simple, authentic Greek and fresh local ingredients. Cooking should remain rooted in tradition and it should be real and delicious, letting the simple, natural flavors stand out. And the restaurant should be beautiful and comfortable, making the whole dining experience greater than the sum of its parts. If all that philosophy makes you hungry, come on over and make sure we’re living by our words, as all philosophers should.

The Cava Grill Platter is a great choice as an entree for two because you get an assortment of various delicious grilled meats .

The smallest of all the Cava locations, Rockville was also the first to serve up their now well-known Greek mezze-style dishes. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The lamb dishes are fab! The chops and the sliders are my favorites! Don't miss the complimentary harissa with the fresh pita ! :)

FiOS 50

A great spot for after-work drinks, dinner with friends or a special date, but it's also a solid spot for Greek mezze brunch ! Try the spicy lamb benedict , or gyro hash .

Brian Wishan

The crazy feta was tasty. The roasted cauliflower was the best I've had. Loved the spicy hummus too!

FiOS 50

Known for the hummus or crazy feta you see in your local supermarkets ... this Rockville location is where it all began! Bring friends and share the Greek tapas-style mezze .

Order the Lamb Shank ! It melts in your mouth and it's absolutely a sin to not experience it! Don't forget to order Saganaki too! Table-side fires are so much fun and oh so yummy!

Heiwad Osman

This place is an amazing taste of the Mediterranean. Mmm mmm. Thinking of my next visit already.

Washingtonian Magazine

The kitchen’s handiwork reinforces the something-old/something-new theme, packaging dishes from the Greek isles into stylized miniatures without stinting on the garlic .

Jeremy C

Order anything, it's all great. Sip some ouzo while you wait.

✌Maryanne Diaz

Scallop Risotto and Chicken Lollipops are A MUST!!!

Angela Wegznek

The quality of the food has gone down since this place is no longer a neighborhood secret, tho its still yummy. The once tasty veal meatballs in cinnamon tomato sauce is now just meatballs&marinara

Cava mac n cheese and gyros are awesome. French toast for brunch ! And get $5 martinis on Mondays!

Piero Marinucci

There are a lot of great Greek/Med dishes here, and what I've tried had been great. It has a great atmosphere, but not good for a quiet meal.

Food Craver

Lollipop chicken and their Greek yogurt dessert are to die for!!

For brunch , the spicy lamb Benedict is awesome

Went while I wasn't eating meat. Hummus & crab sliders made me feel like I was not missing out. Then I saw the pork belly & the lamb sliders . Can't wait for lent to end.
