TESFA is a small, cozy spot that draws praise for exceptionally smooth hummus, fluffy pitas, and falafel that is crisp and flavorful, with kebab, sabich, and shawarma also earning high marks for freshness and seasoning. Reviewers mention generous portions, affordable prices, and a welcoming, friendly staff that contributes to a warm, music filled atmosphere. The menu offers vegan and vegetarian options and emphasizes fresh ingredients and sauces that elevate each dish. While most experiences are glowing and many call it a hidden gem and a top spot in Montreal, a few reviews note inconsistency in quality or service, mentioning dry chicken, a soggy pita, or variances when ordering takeout. Overall, TESFA is viewed as a standout Mediterranean option in the area, delivering delicious, well balanced flavors, great value, and a vibe that makes many diners plan a return visit.
The owner was so kind, engaging & helpful. The food was prepared fresh & had such a unique blend of flavors. I had the most refreshing experience overall.
I love Tesfa. This place is my go-to for lunch when I haven't brought any leftovers to work. They're always so kind & happy to see me. The falafel is so fresh & satisfying. Long live Tesfa.

Love this place.
Food tastes fresh & prepared with love, a must try.
The place is small so finding a table may or may not be an issue depending when you go.
À chaque bouchée on sent tout l'amour mis pour cuisiner les plats. Les ingrédients sont frais & les plats assaisonnés avec justesse. Une vraie cuisine maison authentique & définitivement les meilleurs falafels au monde !!!
