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!

A small, plant filled restaurant that is big on flavour. I love the Kebab bowl, it's so tasty with fresh veggies & well seasoned beef. The pickles are a surprise every time but they work. The great music & friendly staff make for a very pleasant experience.

Best falafel pita in Montreal! Falafel are tasty & perfectly crispy, pita is fluffy & warm, & toppings are generous & fresh. & the staff is always so friendly. We'll come back here whenever we're in the plateau. 11/10.

Worth the 2 & a half hours drive from Ottawa.
Fresh Hummus. Amazing spices. Fresh made Falafel & over all great presentation.
Very affordable prices! Our first stop every time we're in Montreal! Must must visit!

Best Falafel I had in Canada & I have tried all of their menu it's all super fresh & great.

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.

Everything was incredibly fresh & wonderful!
Only downside is finding parking! Luckily I dropped off my passenger, who ran in & got our takeout, & we were off!
Deborah
First time visit to Tesfa today, & SO happy I came in! Beef sandwich the best I've ever had. Hot, fresh & juice. Perfectly spiced & bread amazing! Service with a smile! Thank you Tesfa!!😋

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.
Kathleen
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!

A great Mediteranean/Eastern African restaurant ! On Plateau Mont-Royal, lowkey but well located. The taste was above the exceptations, I would suggest the kebab Pita has authentic flavour. I've had a great experience, that includes the service, genuinely nice coming from their staff. The spot is well maintaines & decorated. The vibe is very relax, no rush to leave your table or order more. You can also take out, I have ordered online & it was well packaged, warm & as fresh as when you dine-in. Give it a try !!
