What Jamie Ginsberg likes about Fava:
The vibe starts with pulsating music, a few seats on the street and friendly efficient team working the take out counter. I love an overflowing Falafael, each bite was full of vegetables with flavors worth chewing and enjoying. Don’t compare this to your traditional, compare it to what you hope is available in the future! I’ll be back for the sweet potato fries! View all feedback.

Takeout only, hole-in-the-wall kind of lunch spot and the food is solid. Chicken sandwich and lentil soup are both so delicious!

Superb! In particular, the salad was just delightful. Also especially liked the salmon.

I can literally eat the falafel flatbread sandwich everyday. Super fresh ingredients that you can taste. Thank you for existing.
