Cava Mezze in Olney offers a lively atmosphere with "delicious food" and "great service." The brunch options, especially the "Brunch Mania," are highly recommended. Despite the often "noisy" environment, the staff's attentiveness and the flavorful Mediterranean dishes make it a must-visit. Gus, the manager, ensures a welcoming experience.

    6 of us went for Sunday brunch and couldn't believe how much food we got. The $38 per person gets you jalapeno hushpuppies, your choice of 3 main dishes and .25 cent mimosas. The quality of the food is excellent, and brunch is a great way to try lots of things. We had so much leftover will have breakfast tomorrow.

    The food was yummy and came out quickly. Prices reasonable and good for sharing. Main entrees were small so load up on apps. When my lamb chops came out undercooked, the staff was gracious and fixed it quickly. Fun, casual place to celebrate a birthday!

    We return to Cava Mezze for the Food, Service & Vibe. Be sure to order the Scallops Risotto w. Saffron, Chicken Souvlaki, & Spicy Lamb Sliders. We also met a Server Extraordinaire named JOEY and enjoyed a bottle of UPWELL CAB from Sonoma CA. Give yourselves & friends a real Treat. Come on / You deserve it!

    What a wonderful experience if you lovey Greek food, which I do. My friend and I had a great lunch, starting with Saganaki. The flaming cheese with pita was perfect though I had to remind the server the yell, “Opa”when he ignited the cheese! The Village Salad was perfect, crowned with a nice block of feta and capers, & no lettuce. My friend had a trio of mini gyros, which included several French fries, exactly as we had in Greece. I don’t live in the area but will definitely make the effort to return. It is worth the trip!

    Excellent choices. Perfect place if one is not terribly hungry and wants to dine where there are many choices of very tasty dishes.

    The tiny little two top table is silly for a place that serves multiple dishes for sharing.
