Luke: A classic dish done right, fast, and cheap in a fun atmosphere that makes you glad you stopped in
Bin Yang: They don't look that big but $8 for 2 Lahem bi ajine is a really good deal. They're crispy, soft on the inside and the meat remains tender and juicy. Grab a $1 rose water soaked baklava to go!

Eric Avila: The salad bowls are a superior tasting, healthy, quick lunch or dinner choice. The portions are ample and are a great value. Imagine a Mediterranean version of chipotle and that's Cava Grille!
