The food at Fava is good, but under-seasoned for my tastes, a frequent result when an ethnic restaurant aims for a broad audience. Too bad, but maybe they’re doing the right thing for their business. In any case, adventurous eaters may be disappointed, but most people will enjoy it. It’s certainly a recommendation for the neighborhood, though I wouldn’t send everyone across town to eat there.

Waited far too long to be seen to our table, as were other patrons throughout the evening. Staff appeared to be run off their feet. Food came out super quick. Good size portions.

We actually had dinner there and then went back for lunch two days after. Just delicious authentic Greek food. Much quieter at lunch-dinner was very loud-hard to have a conversation. But worth it!

Very busy which gave us the impression of being popular and a good choice. Not disappointed, food was excellent and gave us the flavour of Greece we wanted. Took us right back there, to a country we love. Great food, good service and an excellent atmosphere

Our first visit to Fava and we will definitely return - although maybe at quieter time of day as the evening (7.30pm) buzz was very loud. The waiter had trouble getting our order right due to the noise level! However, the service was good, the food was delicious (four of us eating four different dishes agreed on that), and it's reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

The food was nice enough, but my wife was born in Cyprus and the meze was nothing like those we are was used to. We expected a meze to come as a jumble of small dishes; not everything crammed into 2 plates all at once. All the cheaper elements (salad, houmous, tzatziki, pitta) were very small portions, meat elements were decent though. Felt like a meze planned by someone from the UK.

Think there were too few waiters, it took ages for us to get the drinks and then to order. Also we got the sharing mezze for 2 but there was only 1 falafel it's very sad and unfair to charge per person but don't put the correct quantity of food per person.
