#TheFood
Nick went with the Kofta Platter, a combination of ground beef and lamb patties, salad, hummus, roasted potatoes, and a pita. The Kofta was well seasoned, though it was a bit dry, but the included Tahini sauce helped alleviate this. The roasted potatoes were tremendous, especially the pieces that had been “extra roasted” with a darker coloring. It was almost as if they were caramelized, and honestly they were some of the best potatoes I have ever had.

Eric went with the Grilled Chicken platter which was actually half a grilled Cornish hen, marinated in yogurt, olive oil, sumac, garlic & lemon, served with salad, roasted potatoes or rice, hummus, pita topped with za’atar and olive oil, topped with tomya sauce. He went with the roasted potatoes which turned out to be the best decision that was made all day. The Cornish hen was amazingly tender and moist with a crazy amount of flavor going on. The salads and pita were good, as was the hummus. The co-star of this dish with the Cornish hen were definitely the potatoes, OMG, these potatoes were the best potatoes I have ever had out of a food truck.  Scratch that, best potatoes ever. Some of the potato pieces got a little extra char which sort of caramelized them and gave them a really good crunchy, chewy, full of flavor goodness. Word must have gotten out about these potatoes, by the time our coworker Kristi went over to get some a little later during lunch, they were out…you’ve been warned, go early if you want potatoes…and trust us, you do.

#Regrets
Not getting more potatoes to go. Not getting the “Jumbo Little Bit of Everything”. These people do some seriously great stuff with food and I can’t wait to visit their restaurant in Falls Church. Fava Pot – Google Maps

Total was just over $11 for the chicken and just over $13 for the Kofta. The truck accepts credit cards.
