Have a midnight craving for Cava Restaurant’s crazy feta? Now it’s possible to snack on the Rockville eatery’s spicy Greek cheese spread in the comfort of your own home. The three lifelong Montgomery County buddies who own the terrific mezze restaurant have gotten into the prepared food biz, selling seven of their dips in area supermarkets.


At press time, Cava cooks were still making the dips every morning at the restaurant—slogging away until 11 a.m. when the lunch crowd begins to arrive. But Ted Xenohristos, one of the owners, says the acquisition of a food production facility in Rockville is imminent. The plant will have its own staff, enabling Cava to service more than 50 stores, he says. A day after eating at Cava, I purchased three of the dips at Whole Foods Market in Bethesda—the hummus, the harissa, and the eggplant and roasted red pepper—and they were as fresh and flavorful as what you get in the restaurant. Now, we just have to get chef Dimitri Moshovitis to make house calls for the rest of the meal.


Cava Restaurant’s dips (hummus; spicy hummus; harissa; eggplant and roasted red pepper; crazy feta; tzatziki; and white bean salad) are sold under the Potomac Fine Foods label. In Montgomery County, they are available at Whole Foods Market stores in Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg and Silver Spring, Snider’s Super Foods in Silver Spring and Roots Market in Olney.
