Review Summary

TESFA is widely celebrated as a premier culinary destination in Montreal, consistently praised for serving some of the freshest and most flavorful Mediterranean inspired dishes in the city. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the falafel, which is often described as perfectly crispy and moist, as well as the remarkably smooth hummus and expertly seasoned shawarma and kebab options. Beyond the menu, the restaurant is defined by its welcoming and genuinely friendly atmosphere, where the staff and owners are noted for their warmth, passion, and attentive hospitality. While the space is cozy and intimate, the combination of high quality, authentic ingredients, affordable pricing, and consistently vibrant service makes it a must visit gem that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who dines there.

En un mot : WOOOW!

J'ai déjà testé le pita Kebab, Falafel & maintenant Pargit, & ils sont tous délicieux !

Le pain est fait maison, ça fait toute la différence. Les portions sont super généreuses, à chacune de mes bouchées j'ai toujours eu un morceau de poulet. La sauce maison est juste magique & légèrement relevée pour le pargit pita. Sensation de satiété sans se sentir gonflé.

Je n'ai jamais mangé sur place mais l'atmosphère est bonne & le lieu est agréablement décoré avec des plantes suspendues.

Le personnel est toujours gentil & souriant. J'adore, good job les gars !!

High Google ratings sent us to this place on our recent trip to Montreal, & we are so glad it did. It doesn't looks like your typical shawarma place but the food is killer. They were able to provide quick service for a group of 5 for a dine in order & everything was amazing, right from falafel platter to the pita sandwiches. Highly recommended. 💯

Google… it's time for a 6 star option. Best meal we've had in Quebec. Perfect French fries. Each pita was unique in its combination of spices & sauces. Each one assembled with care from the freshest ingredients, expertly cooked.

Toujours souriants & de bonne humeur, les employés offrent une expérience amicale & mémorable. La nourriture est toujours cuisiné avec soins & avec le soucis du détail. Tout est frais & délicieux. Pour ma part, je prends presque toujours le sandwich saheed pita & j'en reve la nuit tellement c'est bon. En plus les prix sont très abordables. Merci d'exister !

The food is fantastic & service is great! We even dropped our dinner plans & came back to the same place twice while visiting Montreal. Kebab Pita, Falafels & Smoked Eggplant are the stars. We tried those with hot sauce on a side.
