TESFA is described as a small, cozy, welcoming spot where the food is consistently fresh, flavorful and prepared with care, with the falafel pita and sabich pita repeatedly called standout items and the hummus noted as exceptionally smooth. Reviewers praise a wide variety of Mediterranean offerings including shawarma, shish taouk and kebab pita, with many calling it the best falafel in Montreal and the bread and sauces highlighted as especially fresh and well balanced. The staff and atmosphere receive many compliments for warmth and friendliness, giving the dining experience a family owned vibe that feels personal and inviting. Some reviewers mention the small space can make seating tricky at busy times, and a few visits note occasional inconsistencies or changes in taste, but these are in the minority compared with the overall praise for freshness, quality and value. Overall it is seen as a hidden gem in the Plateau, offering affordable, high quality Mediterranean dishes that leave diners eager to return.

This restaurant is a true gem. The service was very friendly & the place is clean. I was supposed to eat half in the restaurant & half to go, but the Sheed pita i took was too delicious to stop eating. The meat was hot & flavourful, the vegetables were fresh & crunchy, the sauce paired delicously with everything. I also appreciate the many vegetarian options they have! I will definitely be back!!

Not your average shawarma or pita place. Tesfa is simply delicious, fresh & absolutely tasteful. By far one of the best Mediterranean food take out in Montreal.

Unbelievably fresh & flavourful wrap, & perhaps the best sweet potato fries I have ever had! The location is small but cozy, & the employees were very friendly & helpful. Will definitely be returning soon!

It is one of the best Middle Eastern sandwich places in Montreal. The food is always fresh & tasty. If you are around Plateau, & you are craving for falafel, hummus, & shawarma, sure give it a try.

Excellent quality food made with fresh ingredients & a lot of flavour. Crispy falafel, homemade hummus, fresh salad with mint, & hot soft pita bread. Everything is delicious. Service is good too & the dining area is cozy & clean. I would highly recommend!

SO GOOD. Very fresh ingredients, softest pita bread & probably the best kebab I've had in Montreal.
