Everyone I go, I take the Sabich. While being recommended practically every dish, I cannot convince myself to skip the Sabich. One of the best I ever ate, & the satisfaction of the taste follows several hours after eating (at least for me 😅)

Petit resto sur Papineau au nord de l'avenue Mont-Royal. Essayé l'assiette de Sabich avec aubergines frites. Un régal!

The sabich hit the spot. It had a slightly different spice profile than the other sabichs I've had, but it worked well & was a nice change. Would recommend.

One of the best hidden gems I've come across in a long time. The food & atmosphere are both incredible. The falafels were perfectly crispy, honestly some of the best I've ever had. We had the sabich pita, & it was packed with rich, authentic flavors & amazing sauces. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

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.
