Nous avons eu l'occasion de découvrir plusieurs plats chez Tesfa & ce fut une très belle expérience gustative. Nous avons choisi le sheep pita, le pargit pita, le sabich pita ainsi qu'une salade de falafel.

Les pitas sont généreuses, bien garnies & surtout très fraîches : les légumes croquants, les sauces équilibrées & les pains parfaitement moelleux. Le sabich pita, avec ses saveurs authentiques, & le pargit pita, tendre & parfumé, étaient déjà excellents. La salade de falafel, légère & savoureuse, apportait une belle touche de fraîcheur.

Mais le grand coup de coeur reste sans hésiter le sheep pita : viande juteuse, assaisonnement juste & une harmonie parfaite avec les accompagnements. Un vrai régal qui vaut à lui seul la visite.

Une adresse à retenir & à recommander pour la qualité des produits & la générosité des saveurs.

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 😅.
