Fava Pot

If you’re not already a falafel fan, the herby green orbs made with fava beans instead of chickpeas at these Egyptian restaurants will convert you. But owner Dina Daniel, who greets diners at the Falls Church flagship as if they’re entering her home, offers much more. Try her creamy chicken kofta with macaroni béchamel or fall-off-the-bone braised lamb shank. Better yet, sample all the homey hits with the generous and affordable “Eat Like an Egyptian” feast option.
