I usually order takeout but eating in is fine if you can find a seat. The food is spectacular & truly one of my favorite places to eat in Montreal (which is saying a lot).
So many options, catering to most dietary restrictions, & they make the food in front of you quite quickly!
Highly recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean-influenced food.

Everyone I go, I take the Sabich. While being recommended practically every dish, I cannot convince myself to skip the Sabich. One of the best I ever ate, & the satisfaction of the taste follows several hours after eating (at least for me 😅)

Combining flavors profiles of the Middle East & East Africa is a winning formula for the Tesfa chefs. The food is phenomenal! The falafel is delicious & the shawarmas are mouth watering with some unique flavors not found at other shawarma places. But the real joy of eating here is the incredibly always cheerful & amazing staff waiting to feed you. You must try this place.
