Me encanto la comida, pedimos un hummus con falafel y son de los mejores qué he comido en mi vida, los ingredientes super frescos y el hummus super cremoso, también pedimos un sándwich de pollo con pimientos y estaba muy bien sazonado, sin duda alguna volvería.

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!

Excellent food & service. I ordered the Demama Plate to go. The smoked eggplant with roasted onions was out of the world (although a bit on the salty side). The hummus was creamy & delicious. The chopped salad & house-made pita offered a perfect balance. Yum!!

Tesfa est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs restos de falafels & pitas en ville. Leur recette est originale (ajout de cornichons un peu épicés dans les shawarma) & leur sauce est délicieuse. Le proprio est super gentil, on se sent tout de suite accueillis agréablement dans ce petit espace. C'est simple, c'est mon petit go-to de quartier & je donne 5/5 à tout ce que j'ai goûté ici (les pitas en sac, le shawarma poulet, le sabich, les falafels & leur hummus maison, qui rivalise avec ceux de grands restos comme Damas à mon humble avis)

Prenez-y un lunch, ça vaut vraiment le détour.
