Très peu cher & très très bon, ça vaut la peine! Nous avons pris une assiette & un pita pour deux, c'était amplement suffisant, même si ça peut être un peu court si vous avez vraiment très faim.

I genuinely think this may be one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in Montreal.

I first came across TESFA after a previous order issue where my hummus & falafel never arrived, so I never actually got the chance to try the food. This time, not only did they completely honor & rectify the situation with kindness & professionalism, but the meal absolutely exceeded every expectation I had.

The hummus is hands down the best hummus I have ever tasted. Smooth, buttery, rich, & impossibly silky. It literally melted in my mouth. I've never experienced hummus with this kind of texture before.

I ordered a platter with hummus, chicken, fattoush salad, & pita, & every single element was exceptional. The chicken was unbelievably tender & moist, perfectly seasoned, & full of flavor. The fattoush was vibrant, fresh, & beautifully balanced, with the mint making the entire salad feel bright & refreshing. & the pita? Warm, thick, pillowy, & clearly made with care.

What struck me most is that everything tasted intentional. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt generic. Every bite felt like it was made by people who genuinely care about food.

This is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like a hidden gem. But honestly, TESFA deserves every bit of recognition it gets.

Absolutely unforgettable.

We enjoyed the fresh & zesty flavors of our food! The chicken bowl was packed with veggies & chicken & a generous helping of spicy sauce! The falafel salad had a minty flavor coating the many veggies. They forgot to include a side pita with the salad but that was more than ok as we couldn't finish the generous portions anyway.
