This place is fantastic. Super healthy (try their lentil soup) ... best falafel in town. Pint sized store that just cranks it out every day, for only 4 hours !!! One of North Berkeley's best !

One of my favorite lunch spots to grab a healthy bite. The salmon and hummus is some of the best I’ve had. Oh, don’t skip the cookies.
the food is really delicious, and though fave doesn't really have seating, you can go to walnut square or epicurious garden. the food is really good, it's just fairly small portions for what i thought would be a full meal.

Absolutely the best hummus in the land and I know hummus! You can't go wrong leaving your neighborhood to drive over and pick some up. Generous, friendly staff. Treat yourself!

Quite literally the best Mediterranean food in the Bay Area!! If you're lucky enough to enjoy some Fava, you're quite lucky indeed. The falafel is crispy and all the ingredients are sourced carefully and the resulting quality is phenomenal!Jeremy and his wife are amazing and the kindest business owners I have come across in Berkeley - they really put the love into the food they serve.My go to's are the Falafel Flatbread Sandwich, Escarole Salad With Blood Oranges, and the Mango Lassi to wash it down. The perfect lunch on Saturday 10/10 would recommend to a friend!Thank you FAVA for bringing such an amazing food staple to Berkeley
Most delicioso & oh so healthy. Salmon salad perfecto & the fresh mint& parsley a refreshing addition. Cold almond milk chai latte the best antidote to a hot hot day? !!

Fava is so good - incredibly flavorful food that tastes fresh and is well made - and expensive. The plate (extra for your choice of protein) will easily set you back $20. So not an every day lunch but if you want to treat yourself to an amazing, fresh and healthy meal, come here. The banana pudding is top notch, if you are so inclined.

1000 out of 10. The Chez Panisse tree is very strong. Feeling very grateful to have this in the East Bay. Reminds me very much of Reems in SF or the Persian breakfast at Bartavelle's. This is the stuff that makes the bay area such a gem when it comes to ingredients and simple foods. I don't care that my lunch was $60 for 2. Worth every penny.

Still as consistent and delicious since the day they opened! I tried the chicken plate today for the first time and it won‘t be the last. I do need to increase the frequency of my visits before my departure from the Bay Area in a few months. ? I will certainly miss FAVA!
Man, I've been wanting to try Fava for a very long time. And now I am wondering why I waited so long? Igot the salmon plate, but I added cucumbers and feta. Everything was fresh, and everything was absolutely delicious. The beets and cabbage were just slightly pickled. Which we appreciated. It wasn't so vinegary that it slapped you across the face. It had a subtle tang while adding flavor. We will be back for sure!

I don’t typically leave reviews…anything less than 5 stars is more of a reflection on the customer than on this place. High praise.
