Overview

A CAVA employee demonstrates the entire process of making the restaurant's falafel from scratch. They combine chickpeas, fresh herbs, flour, and spices in a large bowl, mix the ingredients by hand, form them into balls, deep-fry them until golden brown, and finally place the finished product in a serving container on the line.
