We love a good sabich & were just in the mood for one. I made the mistake of getting it in a hurry though & tried to eat it on the go. That was a bad idea. This is one of the messiest meals I've ever had. A mixture of eggplant, sauces, egg & spices make this both so messy & so good. The only thing I would change is perhaps a little less egg & more of something to add a crunch like a vinaigrette cabbage or something that mixes it up. Overall a great dish though. The staff was very friendly & it was all pretty quick too.

TESFA's take on Shawarma is a divine celebration of flavors, spices & angels' dust. Absolutely the best I have tasted in the Montreal area. I have tried several of their sandwiches: Shawarma... Pargit... Sabich... each amazing more than the other... very hard to pick a favorite. A quote from my son: Why did it take us so long to return to this place?! I want to bring all my friends here!
