replying to u/Helhiem: Certain bowl places cava are still way better value than most fast food restaurants. Like cava is 2-3$ more than McDonald’s but has way better ingredients
“Naya is similar and I love that place. I actually feel like I am getting $14 worth of food when it’s loaded up with two kinds of hummus, babaganouj, chicken, and good quality olives and greens and other toppings.”

I actually feel like I am getting $14 worth of food when it’s loaded up with two kinds of hummus, babaganouj, chicken, and good quality olives and greens and other toppings. Then I am satisfied until dinner time. Most places charge that much for three chicken tenders and fries these days.
“Naya does NOT play with the amount of food they give you. They pack your bowl FULL. I love their falafel salads.”

replying to u/zxyzyxz: I've been really getting into mezeh, it's even cheaper and the quantity they give you is absurd, like 2 Cava bowls worth when I got it recently.
