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.

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)

La réputation de ce petit restaurant n'est pas surfaite. Si vous n'y êtes jamais allé, vous ratez quelque chose de délicieux & unique.

The food is very delicious & the place is clean! The Sabich Pita was fantastic. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

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.
