Really good small take-out spot. I usually get the (open faced?) falafel sandwich that is absolutely stuffed with fresh herbs (dill, mint, and I forget what else!). It is simply the best.There are some tables/chairs set out on the sidewalk, but this is a small spot with no indoor seating. I usually just get food to go.

This is my favorite lunch spot in Berkeley! I have eaten everything and I mean everything on the menu. When I was pregnant I could't even drive away with takeout because it was so good, I would devour the food before I left. I believe my baby is extra healthy because of that chicken wrap!!!

This place is so cute! Fava you stole my heart and your falafel sandwich stole the show! Located on Vine Street in Berkeley, Fava is a vibrant hole in the wall and hidden gem to this area. There is what seems to be a new(er) cupcake shop next door and a spot called the Filling Station to refill your own bottles of personal and household products.With limited hours (Tuesday-Saturday) from 11a-3p, Fava serves amazingly fresh "lunch from a window" with some outdoor seating if you can't wait to indulge. Two former Chez Panisse chefs started Fava and quite honestly, we're so happy they did! Handmade flatbreads, incredibly fresh ingredients with protein choices including steelhead, braised lamb, spicy chicken, and falafel. Also on the menu you can find fresh soups and sides, juices, and my personal favorite, Tahini chocolate chip cookies.To note, you can preorder your lunch ahead online for the next day if you want to just grab & go without waiting in line. It was such a seamless process and honestly quite the vibe picking up! As soon as they opened their doors, funky music was illuminated the street and I could literally have hung out there for a while listening to the tunes and enjoying the ambiance. Great service, clean food, can't wait to come back!

Let's give it up for healthy, fresh eats. With the world getting ever so expensive, paying $20 for a healthy and equally delicious meal, needs some love. I went with the salmon plate featuring Mt Lassen Steelhead with tabbouleh, broccoli, beets, cabbage slaw, herb salad and yogurt. While not the largest amount of food, and I wish there were more yogurt... it was bright, fresh and so good and felt healthy. Not to mention, that tahini chocolate chip cookie? DAMMMNNN. It's a good one.This spot is to-go only, it's open limited hours, but oh so worth it if you are looking for a freshy, healthy lunch.

Friday 2024/03/22 12:30- super busy, with a constant line at the cashier- I ordered take-out on their website but ate at one of their tables on the sidewalkSpicy Chicken Flatbread Sandwich ($15.50 + $2.00) (Add One Falafel): "Grilled organic chicken nestled in a handmade flatbread with harissa, marinated cabbage, yogurt, Serrano chilli's and herb salad"- every ingredient was super fresh, especially the abundance of mint and parsley on top- chicken thigh was tender and flavorful- they gave me what seemed like one and a half falafel, which was nice- serrano chilies were too spicy for me, so I ended up picking them out- flatbread was slightly over-kneaded, which made it too chewyTahini Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.00)- I saw they packed my cookie fresh from the oven and still warm; heavenly- crispy at the edges and soft inside, with ample discs of chocolate- not too sweet and very balanced with the savoriness of sesameMango Lassi ($5.00): "12oz. Mango puree and [whole-milk] yogurt."- very creamy and mild on the mango flavor (not overly sweet or tart)

Fava is my recent obsession. I love love love their lentil soup. Literally revives your dead winter soul and you feel reborn. Not kidding. Also, very great for sick peoples because it is hearty and full of nutrients and is satiating. I also love their tahini chocolate cookie. I tried to replicate it at home, but alas to no success. I've also tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which makes for a pleasant and light lunch. It was full of mint and other herbs. Very nice.Must gets!!!- Red Lentil Soup w/ Kale & Herb Yogurt- Tahini Chocolate Cookie

The person who took my order here infected me with their smile. I was all smiley after I left here. A good smile spreads easily. I was fine living my life without searching for a cure. I hope I infected others. The falafel sandwich gave me even more of a reason to smile, it was delicious.
