CAVA co-founder and chief concept officer Ted Xenohristos said: “Our Grilled Steak was two years in the making and, like everything on our menu, is rooted in our Mediterranean heritage and made with unique flavours and the highest-quality ingredients.

“We wanted to create something people can’t get anywhere else, that’s elevated, but also accessible to everyone.”

CAVA will continue to provide its Spicy Greens Bowl and Strawberry Citrus juice throughout the 2024 summer season (June to August).

CAVA co-founder and CEO Brett Schulman said: “With Grilled Steak, our exceptional culinary team has fulfilled guests’ desire for a beef option on the menu, done the Mediterranean way.

“We saw a great response to Grilled Steak in our market tests and expect our unique take on this beloved protein gives consumers yet another reason to visit CAVA and come back more often.”

In May 2024 CAVA opened its new food production and packaging facility at Verona in the state of Virginia.
