" Once we got there, we were welcomed with such warmth. The owner began telling us about the Egyptian dishes, and we couldn’t resist. The kofta and the falafel were out of this world! The only downside was the rapid turnover of tables, which made it feel a bit rushed. Still, we loved it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints! The owner is always so warm and welcoming, the food is authentically Egyptian, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Highly recommend the falafel and the mint lemonade! Prices have increased over time, but the quality remains top-notch. Worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I had the koshari and sweet mint tea, both were incredibly delicious. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax. The only draw was the portion size for the price; it could be more generous. Overall, I'm very pleased with my meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Egyptian flavors, Fava Pot is the place! The flavors were spot on, especially the falafel bowl, which was packed with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was fun yet relaxed. A great place to unwind after a long day. The only thing that can be improved is the price for portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Fava Pot, and I can say it was worth it. The kofta had incredible flavors, and the ambiance felt cozy. The owner greeted us and suggested dishes, which added to the experience. However, the portions weren't quite filling enough for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
