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. 💯

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.

Tesfa is by far without a doubt the best falafel & sabich in the city. The falafel has just the perfect amount of spice.

First trip to Montreal & this spot is a WINNER! First visit I had the falafel pita. Yum. Second visit because yes, it's that good, I had the chicken shawarma hummus bowl. Perfect mix of flavors. Warm pita. Lovely service.

I just wish this place stays as true & laid-off as it is. In a world where people seem to care more about marketing than good food, the quality of their falafel & their warm service make me feel optimistic about the future of humanity. The Eggplant sandwich, by the way is spectacular.

One of the best falafels I've ever had. Everything here is fresh & perfectly made. These green steamy falafel balls taste just like they were delivered from the Middle East & their pita is just so tasty. This is a must in Montreal
