TESFA is described as a small, cozy, welcoming spot where the food is consistently fresh, flavorful and prepared with care, with the falafel pita and sabich pita repeatedly called standout items and the hummus noted as exceptionally smooth. Reviewers praise a wide variety of Mediterranean offerings including shawarma, shish taouk and kebab pita, with many calling it the best falafel in Montreal and the bread and sauces highlighted as especially fresh and well balanced. The staff and atmosphere receive many compliments for warmth and friendliness, giving the dining experience a family owned vibe that feels personal and inviting. Some reviewers mention the small space can make seating tricky at busy times, and a few visits note occasional inconsistencies or changes in taste, but these are in the minority compared with the overall praise for freshness, quality and value. Overall it is seen as a hidden gem in the Plateau, offering affordable, high quality Mediterranean dishes that leave diners eager to return.
TESFA is the BEST!!! Our most regularly visited restaurant & beyond delicious every time. The music is always phenomenal, all the staff are so welcoming & kind, & I have never left unsatisfied. While the falafel & pita sandwiches are out of this world, they have my favourite french fries in the city! I cannot overstate how much TESFA deserves your business.
Soooo good. We had the bowl versions of the garlic chicken sandwich & the falafel salad & everything was so fresh, tasty, & generous portions. The staff were also super nice & helpful. Will absolutely be back.

I love coming here when I do my errands around the plateau. The food is always delicious, fresh & good portions. Their falafel sandwich is amazing as well as their hummus plate. I love their side salad. Courteous & welcoming service behind the counter. Small space but comfortable & quaint.
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!

Super affordable & delicious cute resto to grab a sandwich. We ordered the sheed pita, shawarma pita & the side of falafels. Everything was homemade & fresh! Our favorite was definitely the sheed pita. The chicken breast was tender & the garlic sauce was chefs kiss. The falafels were also amazing. They had a nice crunch accompanied with some hummus. These sandwiches were generous in portion & are an amazing value. Will def be revisiting this joint!!
