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)

Tesfa est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs restos de falafels & pitas en ville. Leur recette est originale (ajout de cornichons un peu épicés dans les shawarma) & leur sauce est délicieuse. Le proprio est super gentil, on se sent tout de suite accueillis agréablement dans ce petit espace. C'est simple, c'est mon petit go-to de quartier & je donne 5/5 à tout ce que j'ai goûté ici (les pitas en sac, le shawarma poulet, le sabich, les falafels & leur hummus maison, qui rivalise avec ceux de grands restos comme Damas à mon humble avis)

Prenez-y un lunch, ça vaut vraiment le détour.
