YUM! The food is SO fresh and made with love. Deeply nourishing meals.
Really good falafel sandwich with loads of fresh cilantro and some mint for a twist. Fun Berkeley sidewalk dining experience. I... was drawn in by the loud fun funk music. I'm sure their neighbors aren't to appreciative of the thumping music, but it made fora fun experience. Read more
Very delicious lunch and very quick turn around. I got the salmon plate, which was perfectly cooked. I felt it was a generous... portion and very nourishing. Read more
Exquisite food. Recommend the lassi, chicken sandwich, and lentil soup. I'd like to explore more of the menu but since these... items are so flawless it barely seems worth it. Suppose my only complaint is that I possess just one stomach. Read more
This is one of my go to lunch spots. Their hours of operation are sort of limited and primarily in the midst of the work week,... but the brightest flames burn out first. Super fresh, healthy Mediterranean style food a la California. Every single thing onthe menu is excellent. Who knew broccoli could be so tasty? Who knew a red cabbage slaw could usurp an entire meal? Who knew aboiled egg could melt in your mouth like custard? I didn't really care for tabouleh before FAVA, but wowow theirs is good. WhenI eat here, I genuinely feel better for the rest of the day. Physically and mentally. Their focus on fresh and healthyingredients absolutely shines through in the eating experience. Wholesome, in a word. Try the soup. Try the salad. TRY THEMANGO LASSI RIGHT NOW. The desserts are simple but yummy. Try everything. Every cent spent here is a cent well spent. This is ato-go only place with no seating. If you want to sit somewhere in the Neighborhood, you can walk into the tunnel to SunnysideCafe where there are open tables, or walk over to Saul's where they've got a free public patio, or go to the Tables in/aroundPeet's. I've never seen anyone get in trouble for doing this. Read more
My first time to Berkeley. Our daughter took us to Fava for a taste of the good food in Berkeley. We ordered soup, marinated... beets with goat cheese, falafel with pita bread and salad with salmon. All the ingredients were fresh and very tasty. Goodservice as well! A must in Berkeley! Read more
Was looking for a bakery and stumbled on to Fava by mistake. Best mistake ever! The spicy chicken sandwich was unbelievable! So... fresh and full of flavor. I highly recommend and definitely will be going back again. Read more
