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.

Really the best falafel I have ever had & easily my favorite restaurant in the area, it is in a different league from most takeout places. Kind people working there too. My day is always better after a sandwich from Tesfa.

Me encanto la comida, pedimos un hummus con falafel y son de los mejores qué he comido en mi vida, los ingredientes super frescos y el hummus super cremoso, también pedimos un sándwich de pollo con pimientos y estaba muy bien sazonado, sin duda alguna volvería.

It is one of the best Middle Eastern sandwich places in Montreal. The food is always fresh & tasty. If you are around Plateau, & you are craving for falafel, hummus, & shawarma, sure give it a try.

Great prices on the pita sandwiches & amazing quality too. I had the beef pita, my wife had chicken pita both about $13 our son had Falafel. Sandwiches were packed with grilled veggies & meat. Small but welcoming dining area.

I'm gonna go tell everyone I know this is the best falafel place in montreal & I will be back

(Only negative thing is I find my shawarma sandwich a bit too oily so next time I'll try other sandwiches)
