    Great food and good service although I don’t think it’s right to take an 830 booking without informing customers that the kitchen closes at 915.

    Lovely place have visited a number of times and the food does not disappoint. We booked for a late lunch yesterday using a voucher we received from family. The service is usually excellent and it was up until we paid the bill. The waiter who took out payment was not friendly at all , unlike them there staff we encountered. He gave the impression that using the voucher as part payment it was a bit of an inconvenience . He appeared annoyed and a little dismissive when I explained we would be splitting the difference 50/50. It was not rh usual reception that we have experienced from the staff and did feel a little let down att he end of our experience. If it wasn't for this I would have rated our experience as 5 stars overall but sadly it was not the case

    This is a popular venue with a good menu selection. The staff manage well with a busy service. Having visited twice on a Saturday, this lunchtime and previously early evening, it can be noisy from the diners’ conversations but it’s great for this relatively new venture to be busy.

    Lovely bright Med inspired decor, lovely food. Only negative is that we were seated by the door which opens straight into the restaurant so you receive a blast of cold air every time somebody opens the door which was quite often.

    Really like this Greek Restaurant it’s a little piece of Greece in the middle of Edinburgh. The food is excellent and authentic and having a holiday home on one of the Greek Islands I can attest to that. It’s a good place for a lively atmosphere perhaps a bit too loud for a romantic twosome .

    This is our third or fourth visit but not our best. The food was luke warm (starters and mains) and at £17, the lamb main was underwhelming, a chunk of meat and a scattering of fries. Most off putting though was the noise level from all the other diners. You need to do something to cut down on the noise as it makes conversation difficult and ruins the ambiance of the place.

    We absolutely LOVED this restaurant. The food was amazing and the restaurant was beautiful and chic. It was very crowded which is always a good sign. We sampled many things from the menu and they were all delicious. Great quality food at modest prices. If you’re in Edinburgh- eat here!

    An excellent lunch meal (again) at Fava. A very good busy atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff. Very good authentic Greek food cooked to order. Generous portions & a good idea to make up your own meze for the extensive choice available. Very fairly priced for Edinburgh.

    Food and service very good and can’t fault anything except it was a bit noisy at the time we were there and difficult to hear our conversations. It was also very bright lighting but those issues are probably nitpicking and shouldn’t detract from what was a really nice meal.

    Delicious food, authentic Greek cuisine. Booking request had asked if we were celebrating any occasion, which we were, but staff didn't acknowledge it, so not sure why we were asked. Restaurant was very busy but our food came out quickly enough. Would like more vegetarian options (other than halloumi substituted for meat) but the vegetarian pasta dish was really tasty. We'll be back.
