About Fava Restaurant - Greek Kitchen
Fava Restaurant, Greek Kitchen serves Greek food on Morrison Street in Edinburgh, working from family recipes passed down through generations. The menu includes skepasti wraps with chicken, pork, or falafel, alongside a gyros portion offered with pork and halloumi or falafel. Feta and chilli fries appear as a starter, and the mixed grill is a recurring order alongside dips. Meals come with complimentary still water, and a house red wine is offered as a pairing. Desserts run to chocolate cake and baklava. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, and groups have also been accommodated without a reservation.
Good to know
“We wanted to bring the true Greek flavours to the streets of Edinburgh. Some of our fondest childhood memories were those spent with family and friends, gathered together around a table for a meal made with love and affection, with recipes passed down through the generations and prepared with the essence of the Mediterranean at the heart of everything we do.”

Customer Review Summary
The gyros comes up again and again as the dish to order, whether wrapped with pork and halloumi, filled with falafel, or built into a skepasti that staff will steer larger groups toward for a fuller meal. Close behind, the mixed grill and feta and chilli fries draw repeat praise, and several reviewers single out the desserts, especially the chocolate cake, though one found the baklava a bit too sweet. Portions are described as generous and prices as reasonable, with one diner noting a gyros came in under £10. The staff are repeatedly called friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the space itself gets called cozy. A few smaller gripes surface: one falafel wrap arrived dry until tzatziki was added, a fish dish was judged too small, one meal came with too little pita for the dips, and one reviewer wished the fries were homemade. Multiple diners say they would return.

“Great experience on food, service & atmosphere. Complimentary still water, tasty wraps and mixed grill. Service persons cordial without pushing for more orders. This is is the first time I visited this restaurant. Definitely go back to this restaurant if visiting Edinburgh again. The table adjacent to mine ordered lamb shank looked so so good. I’ll order it next time when visiting again.”

“Food was nice but portion size for fish was small. Mixed grill was good as well as dips. Not enough pita for dips though.”

“Lovely staff and amazing food. The portions are filling, the falafel wrap was a bit dry but I asked them for some tzatziki and it paired so well with it. I would highly recommend the chocolate cake, if you love sweets then try their baklava, it was a bit too sweet to our liking. Overall it was an excellent experience, I would highly recommend.”

“Great value for money the gyros was under £10 and was super filling, we had the falafel one and they tasted super fresh. There seemed to be plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and prices were reasonable, would definitely return. We had a reservation and the restaurant was close to full but it was a Friday night.”
