Super sheed au poulet, meilleurs falafel que j'ai mangés, ambiance avec musique vraiment fantastique & cozy, le jeune homme à l'accueil qui est aussi cuisinier, Salah Eddine, est vraiment sympathique, gentil & affable, nous a expliqué le menu pour nous guider & les propriétaires érythréens Tesfu & Efrem aussi sont exceptionnellement gentils & généreux. Super expérience & restaurant, hautement & chaudement recommandé

Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal!! Le menu est simple, mais super bien exécuté. Les ingrédients sont frais & super savoureux. Les meilleurs falafels de la ville, sans exagération. En hiver je mange dedans, mais les pitas sont super pratique pour faire un petit pique nique au parc à côté :)

If you're into Mediterranean food, this is the spot! They claim to have the best falafel in Montreal-& it's true 😁.
I also loved the kebab. The ingredients were super fresh, the staff were friendly, & the freshly baked bread was amazing. Probably the best & freshest pitas I've had in Montreal.
Totally worth the price!
The lemonade they recommended was good-nice & sour-but a bit too sweet for our taste 😅.

TESFA is a true gem in the neighborhood. The small 15-seater unassuming restaurant serves excellent falafels & a variety of sandwiches for both meat lovers & vegetarians alike.
The falafels are truly fantastic; crunchy on the outside with a soft fluffy interior that almost crumbles. The salad is vibrant, fresh, zingy, & surprisingly filling. The falafels & the pita chips offer the perfect textural contrast.
The staff are very welcoming & humble, & it is wonderful to see them operate seemlessly in such a clean & well-organized kitchen.
All in all, I highly enjoyed my experience with TESFA & will be coming back for everything else that they have to offer.

Took the sheed & kebab sandwiches with fries(not a fan of the fries) & a side of falafels. Everything was delicious but the falafels were outstanding! The place is small & there was no AC but the service was the food make it worth it! ( can get crowded)

Best falafel pita I have had in my life - wish they were in NYC.
François
Excellent falafel, parmi les meilleurs à Montréal. Je suis curieux d'essayer les autres options végé...
Laure
Delicieux! Je recommande le pita kebab & l'entrée des falafels avec les 3 sauces, parmi les meilleurs falafels de Montreal.

While I want to say that I reluctantly write this review, because I wouldn't want to cause unnecessary stress on the guys working behind the counter, my god!! I can't skip on leaving a review. This place is banging!
We tried this on a whim instead of going for familiar favourites on Mont-Royal, & it did 👏 not 👏 disappoint.👏
Everything from the Sheed to the Falafel was unique in flavour & balance. It was light but filling. & price? Better than everything around it. Now, I'm one to love the new shops opening up around, but they're missing the mark on balancing their quality & price... Unlike them, Tesfa doesn't. Every single person coming in knew what they were in for. Cartoonish double-takes left & right.
Man, y'all have something special! Keep it up!

I'm form the beautiful state of Israel & this was by far the best falafel I had in a really long time! The owner was extremely polite & friendly.
The falafel was perfect! I'd definitely be back.
Yum!

Une superbe découverte ! Ce restaurant est une véritable pépite. Les plats sont savoureux! Du houmous & falafels aux pitas parfaitement assaisonnées, tout était un régal. L'accueil est chaleureux, le service attentionné & l'ambiance conviviale. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !
Jay
I have ordered from here & visited many times, & it's always GREAT. The sandwiches, fries, & falafel are exquisite. Every single element is well-seasoned & comes together perfectly. + The owner is very kind & the prices are fair.
By far the best Mediterranean diner in Montreal!!
Jean-François
Sans doute les meilleurs falafels de Montréal.
Excellent rapport qualité prix.
Emma
Really yummy! & kid friendly. We ordered the falafel entree for the kids & added a pita & sweet potato fries & it was a perfect meal for the little ones! The Sabich I ordered was one of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend!
Mr
Sandwiches are delicious, hummus plate with falafel is extremely good.

Great place for Mediterranean food. A mix of Turkish, Israeli, & Egyptian style with fresh & authentic dishes. I highly suggest trying any of their sandwiches with a small side of hummus, falafel, or sweet potato fries.

Hidden gem on Papineau/Mont-Royal! This is a MUST try. I already tried the falafel & the chicken pita. The taste is out of this world ! The spices are magical! Tesfu, the owner is very nice & have great taste in music! Give these magical pita's a try & you'll be addicted!
