Fava Pot

Decent spot. I believe this was my first time trying Egyptian food and I got to try a wide array of different items. These included the chicken kabob bowl with tum, apricot juice, and the Om Ali pudding. The vibe of this place is a bit like a to go spot. It’s quite small. If you are paying with a credit card, they have you order on a separate touchscreen. Ambiance was just standard, and we didn’t really interact much with the people (I don’t think they really have servers). The food was okay. The chicken kabob meal was honesty a bit of a let down. The rice is was served was was far too oily/buttery to the point of being overpowered. The chicken was also rubbery. Other than that, pretty good spices and I did like the garlic sauce. The apricot drink was nice. Tasted very fresh and a decen

I was wandering around DC looking for a good spot for lunch. I saw this place and figured I would try it, as I haven't had Egyptian food in a while. The food here is fantastic. And the lunch special was quite a deal. It is a small hole in the wall with a pleasant vibe. Lots of people came in for lunch. The falafel was amazing. Like pure flavor sensation. Definitely recommend.

I was craving something new and different and got lucky to stumble upon fava pot. It gives an authentic Egyption food experience. I had the foul (fava) sandwich and enyption falafel and both were done properly. They were very tasty and the service was very quick. Yousef was great and helped me going through the menu. I like the vibe in this small place and prices are reasonable. Would love to come here again in my future trips to DC!

I was researching Egyptian food in DC and Fava Pot kept popping up. After scrolling through their menu and locations, the M Street spot felt like the perfect choice. I’d never had Egyptian cuisine before and wanted to pair it with a full “Destination Egypt” day: first I went to an immersive experience about ancient Egypt and then wanted a taste of the real flavors. Best decision ever. I found easy street parking just a few blocks away. It was a quick walk to Fava Pot, which is located in the 1800 block of M Street. As soon as you walk in, you’ll find a cozy space filled with Egyptian art and cultural touches that immediately set the tone. Inside, there’s a small, intimate dining area plus outdoor seating. Ordering is fast and simple with their self-serve kiosk. The menu includes classic

Three friends and I are from far out of town and found this restaurant on some reddit list. It happened to be a unique cuisine (Egyptian) and within a 30min walk from our hotel. Tl;dr: cozy dining room, pretty much self-service. If you don't know what to get, ask Youssef for recommendations: he won't steer you wrong! Standouts: Gollash, the feta with the Fetter Meshaltet, the Hawashei sandwich, the Mosaka bowl and the Kunafa Nutella. The location was easy to find and the interior was quaint and unpretentious. Wonderful mural highlighting famous and influential Egyptians in our world. We sat in the window which was cozy and out of the way. Youssef greeted us as we walked in and when We told him that it was our first time having Egyptian food, he gave us menus let us pick our table and th
