Great experience at TESFA! My friend & I ordered two chicken shawarmas along with hummus & four falafels, & everything was excellent. Fresh, well-seasoned, & clearly made with care. The customer service was just as strong as the food. The staff & cooks were kind, hardworking, & welcoming throughout our visit. We also had the pleasure of meeting the co-founder, Efrem, who was genuinely warm & passionate about the restaurant. This is a place that values quality, hospitality, & teamwork. Looking forward to coming back again!

It's like fast-food without table service but they still ask for tip when you pay. Regretted to tip when I realised you have to PAY for water. Got the shawarma pita, pita is nice but the chicken is a bit dry.

Update: Ordered again & we are back to the original version!
Always my to go place for take out but today the food tasted way different than usual. There was too much cabbage in my falafel pita, next, too much tomato & cucumber moisture that made the bread so soggy from inside that I could not even finish it. They did not even put their usual sauce inside today. My boyfriend ordered the shawarma & said the chicken tasted not fresh. Whatever changed here should be undone right away!

The chicken wrap tasted excellent, the meat was very tender, & the kitchen looked very clean overall. For a fast-food price, it was surprising to see such nice plating. The presentation & the overall environment made the meal feel elegant, clean, & comfortable.

i was super excited to try this place given the lovely reviews. as a food lover & enthusiast for mediterranean food, unfortunately, this did not hit the spot. the pita was yummy, but the chicken was dry & flavorless. the spicy like sauce with the fries was delicious though. the decor inside with the trailing pothos is lovely & very friendly service. the food just fell flat for me.

We drove from Ottawa for Israeli hummus & we were blown away! The kebab & chicken shawarma are also amazing. So delicious & fresh. Thank you! Open a restaurant in Ottawa please!

I like the beef kebab more than the chicken. They give alot of sauce. Small restaurant, we wait a little bit long for our food..

Ordered the Sheed pita & my partner had the Shawarma pita. Both of us were blown away. The chicken was so juicy & tender, & the pita was soft & fresh. I've never eaten a pita so quickly in my life, it was so good. I don't live in Montreal unfortunately & I can't stop thinking about these pitas! They really are unique. Next time I'm in town I'm going back to Tesfa!

Very good food & service. Decent price & good value for money considering the portion sizes. We had the beef & chicken breast wraps & the hummus with Falafel. Everything was delicious, although the falafels were quite small

Super affordable & delicious cute resto to grab a sandwich. We ordered the sheed pita, shawarma pita & the side of falafels. Everything was homemade & fresh! Our favorite was definitely the sheed pita. The chicken breast was tender & the garlic sauce was chefs kiss. The falafels were also amazing. They had a nice crunch accompanied with some hummus. These sandwiches were generous in portion & are an amazing value. Will def be revisiting this joint!!

Great quality, but I didn't enjoy the taste of the chicken shawarma or falafel pita. The falafel taste itself is very underwhelming. I'm shocked how this place is rated so highly

Great prices on the pita sandwiches & amazing quality too. I had the beef pita, my wife had chicken pita both about $13 our son had Falafel. Sandwiches were packed with grilled veggies & meat. Small but welcoming dining area.
