Who taught you how to make falafel ?!?

And the FLATBREAD ?!?

The chai ?!?!?

This was probably one of the worst places I’ve been to in a while for that price point I would expect a more evenly balanced fritter and chai.

This was so disappointing not to mention the hummus was also lacking.

Great team, smooth operations, and the good vibes translate into exceptional food with plenty of fresh greens and the most sophisticated, not at all fatty, falafels by the Bay! How do they make so much great food in such a small space? When do they open a full size restaurant? I will be there.

Incredibly refreshing spot in berkeley. Very fresh ingredients and exceptional taste. Clean and nourishing but still delicious. You can tell they care about the food they serve!

FAVA is so FRESH —easily the best lunch spot in Berkeley! I usually get the salmon plate, which is both nourishing and satisfying, keeping me full for hours. You can’t go wrong with the falafel, chocolate chip cookies, or green juice either!

Hummus is too salty for me
Flat bread is good
Falafel tastes healthy and ok, nothing overwhelming that I would come back..

This place is a staple for me in Berkeley, and I love the staff and the mission behind the business. I subsist off their green juice - tart, herbaceous, unsweetened, and just pretty perfect. And don’t miss the tahini chocolate cookie!

This is a top go to spot for me. I’m not always around during their hours, or forget the options of places, so I get something from here about once every 6 weeks. As vegan I either get the falafel sandwich or plate. I prefer the plate. It amazes me how simple the combination of vegetables and sauces are, and yet it’s so flavorful. I feel full and healthy after eating at this joint and the people working there have such a nice vibe. If vegan they will swap out hummus for the yogurt based items.

Worst place ever. My friend got takeout. Some cabbage broccoli tabouli. Cherry tomatoes and 2 dry cold hard falafel balls less than a tablespoon of yogurt. She asked for extra tahini.
Counter person said they don't do that and 2 folks. Counter person said there was tahini on the salad ... there wasn't. There was one fork. The tabouli was actually dry couscous in something green but tasteless.no tomatoes or parsley no lemon. Awesome. The cherry tomatoes were excellent

The person who took my order here infected me with their smile. I was all smiley after I left here. A good smile spreads easily. I was fine living my life without searching for a cure. I hope I infected others. The falafel sandwich gave me even more of a reason to smile, it was delicious.
