We love going to Fava. The food, the ambience, the service are all great. We love the gyro wraps and portions, they are so fulfilling (we have tried the chicken and falafel ones). In desserts, the traditional orange cake (someone who does not like the desserts too sweet might not like this) and baklava are straight from the dessert heaven. The vibe is perfect for a date and a much vibrant place. The staff is sweet too and food is rightly priced (say 20 a person). Absolutely recommend this one!

Excellent service and food, so quick and efficient!

Bella our waitress is what made the evening a very good experience tbh she was friendly and helpful hardworking and we had a good laugh with her . Atmosphere was a little louder than we expected but still an overall good night for valentines night . The valentines menu was a good mix of light starters and deserts with a good size sharing meal for 2 as a main ! Service was exceptional Bella deserves a pay rise 😊

My girlfriend had been wanting lobster for nearly a year and we couldn't find anywhere for it but she said herself upon eating here "this is the best thing I've ever tasted". It made her day honestly and the staff were amazing! We had a few staff members come over, they were all lovely and served with a smile- I had the sirloin steak and it was perfect, obviously my girlfriend had the lobster and absolutely loved it. Cocktails were delicious too, and it was lovely to have water on the table throughout, they were very attentive and kept the refill glass full. We will absolutely be back, my girlfriend even asked me when we would be 😂 Thank you hawksmoor for a lovely meal, and for a delicious steak and lobster.

We had a really lovely time here and the food was excellent. It was extra special with the surprise birthday treat
