Cava Mezze Rockville

"Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon - we did have a reservation but it was not crowded at all so could've also walked in! We did the brunch mania for $38 a person - it came with 3 courses and complimentary hush puppies as an appetizer. Our favorite was definitely the hush puppies they were delicious !!! We tried the crispy potato terrine, the Nutella banana fritters, the strapatsada, chicken souvlaki, pork belly and eggs, and chicken and waffles. The Nutella banana fritters were with chocolate syrup not Nutella, these weren't our favorite. The pork belly was fatty but the seasoning was great and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The chicken and waffles were really good - the chicken was very crispy - this was probably my favorite dish. My boyfriend loved the potato terrine and the chicken souvlaki. Mimosas were also 25 cents which was a great deal!"

"Cava Mezze Rockville offers upscale small-plate versions of Greek dishes. The Saganaki is marvelous. The Grilled Lamb Chops with fries are not to be missed. They are out of this world! The Crispy Chicken Sliders were also shockingly complex and tasty- highly recommend. The prices reflect the upscale dishes, so don't expect to get out without spending some bucks, but it's worth it, in my estimation. We found the Grilled Shrimp and Zucchini Fritters bland. The Brussels Sprouts needed a spritz of lemon and some more salt to brighten up. The atmosphere is my biggest complaint. The restaurant is TINY and they crowd as many tables as they can in this space. It's dark and loud. My dining companion and I had to practically shout to hear each other. Still, I'll return because those lamb chops are THAT GOOD."

"I loved the tzatziki and the hummus! The serving sizes are good for tapas. The complimentary pita and harissa were delicious as well. The service was attentive and welcoming. It is pretty small inside the restaurant but there is ample outdoor seating. The lamb sliders (2 sliders) and gyros ( 3 mini gyros) were flavorful and filling. The Ekmek dessert was incredible- orange pastry cream, whipped cream, crispy pastry and honey."

"Really good! Big fan of Cava, so I was excited to try Cava Mezze. We got the platter, grilled octopus, street corn, and cauliflower. The meat was cooked really well; I really loved the octopus! I would return for their delicious sounding desserts!!"

"Started with the blueberry margarita and the barrel aged old fashion. Good, but a lot of ice. The crazy feta hushpuppies were delicious, cooked to perfection. The server recommend the chicken schnitzel - highly recommend!!! We also got the lamb sliders. Everything was fresh, warm and filling. Be sure you ask for the complimentary harissa & pita bread. Next time I'm trying the chef d platter for the table."
