   This was a mixed bag in all honesty. Food was overall good but some portions like the octopus were tiny and overpriced. The calamari was shockingly bad. The gyros was good as well as the other meat dishes and salads. The service was ok but did have to ask for kids menus, kept having different staff attending to us and that did not allow for continuity or for the feeling of peace. We did feel rushed and this was a celebration. Overall not sure the experience was as good as last time and did have to ask for the staff to sing happy birthday despite saying this is a birthday booking on the reservation. The staff did do so but so miss the original Greek way of doing things unprompted. Mu little girl did have fun but I felt a tad sad at the lack of real warmth from back home.

   We enjoyed the mezze with a few starters and a bottle of wine. I loved picking at lots of different things. Everything was really tasty and we were stuffed full Only thing I could improve was to have more comfy seats . But that won’t stop me going back or recommending to anyone else.

   We had an excellent meal, it was a culinary delight. We were not rushed and staff were attentive without being intrusive. Would highly recommend and plan to return.

   2nd time we've been to Fava in the last couple of months and made sure to try different dishes both times. Service, ambience and especially the food first class. Shout out for the Baklava.

    We really enjoyed the food and found it very tasty. Restaurant was very busy and noisy. A good place for a quick bite to eat (gyros) but not if you want a leisurely dining experience.
