" Fava Pot is like a small slice of Egypt in DC. The food is rich with authentic flavors. I particularly enjoyed the koshari, and the chef’s attention to detail made a difference. The atmosphere was lively and inviting. Although prices felt slightly high for the bowl size, the quality made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Fava Pot and was not disappointed! The kofta was excellently spiced and very filling. The atmosphere was friendly and laid-back, perfect for a casual meal with friends. Only small issue was the wait time, but with food this good, it’s worth it. My new go-to! " (*Curated Review*)
