Food was good but a little bland (particularly falafel) and overpriced. This place is super trendy right now.. you see lots of people walking around with their takeout bags. Lunch only. Service was quick, which was nice.

Love this place š I always get their spicy chicken wrap but Iāve had their falafels too. Food is fresh/ good quality.
I had heard great things about Fava and their ex Chez Panisse chefs. I got to try it for the first time. It was even better than I thought it would be. I got the lamb sandwich (with cabbage, yogurt sauce, and fresh herbs like Persian sabzi, in a lavash like wrap that they make themselves.) I also got some lentil and kale soup with yogurt. So yummy. It took me back home to Iran. So good!

I love the food and friendly service from this narrow little sliver of a place. It's very casual, with little cafe tables for people-watching while I eat perfectly cooked salmon with the freshest tender veggies. From their mango lassi to their recent angel food cake with passionfruit, they let the flavors be complex (not just the taste of sugar). The vibe is that they treat their staff well, too.

Who taught you how to make falafel ?!?
And the FLATBREAD ?!?
The chai ?!?!?
This was probably one of the worst places Iāve 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 āeasily the best lunch spot in Berkeley! I usually get the salmon plate, which is both nourishing and satisfying, keeping me full for hours. You canāt 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 donāt miss the tahini chocolate cookie!

This is a top go to spot for me. Iām 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 itās 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.
