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.
Excellent friendly service, beautifully decorated & clean restaurant. Had shawarma pita, falafel pita & pita chips. Everything was fresh, quick, well seasoned & delicious. Their hot sauce is top notch. Menu available in English & French.

Not your average shawarma or pita place. Tesfa is simply delicious, fresh & absolutely tasteful. By far one of the best Mediterranean food take out in Montreal.
Great quality, but I didn't enjoy the taste of the chicken shawarma or falafel pita. The falafel taste itself is very underwhelming. I'm shocked how this place is rated so highly

Unbelievably fresh & flavourful wrap, & perhaps the best sweet potato fries I have ever had! The location is small but cozy, & the employees were very friendly & helpful. Will definitely be returning soon!
Le Shawarma pita est super bon!! Best place pour des sandwichs, la viande est très savoureuse & fraiche & les sauces sont très originales !! Ça fait 2 ans que je connais cette place & je m'en lasse toujours pas!!!
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.
Excellent quality food made with fresh ingredients & a lot of flavour. Crispy falafel, homemade hummus, fresh salad with mint, & hot soft pita bread. Everything is delicious. Service is good too & the dining area is cozy & clean. I would highly recommend!
