TESFA is widely celebrated as a premier culinary destination in Montreal, consistently praised for serving some of the freshest and most flavorful Mediterranean inspired dishes in the city. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the falafel, which is often described as perfectly crispy and moist, as well as the remarkably smooth hummus and expertly seasoned shawarma and kebab options. Beyond the menu, the restaurant is defined by its welcoming and genuinely friendly atmosphere, where the staff and owners are noted for their warmth, passion, and attentive hospitality. While the space is cozy and intimate, the combination of high quality, authentic ingredients, affordable pricing, and consistently vibrant service makes it a must visit gem that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who dines there.

Pros: the owners are incredibly friendly, there's nice Amharic music playing in the background, the food is visually appealing, & ingredients seem fresh.

Cons: I was recommended the chicken Sheed Pita which was unfortunately dry/tough & lacked flavor. I'm Ethiopian & saw they had berbere spice in the kitchen, so thought it would be on the sandwich, but I tasted nothing.

I'm sure they have other amazing options on the menu, but if you're a traveler like me, choose a different item.

I just wish this place stays as true & laid-off as it is. In a world where people seem to care more about marketing than good food, the quality of their falafel & their warm service make me feel optimistic about the future of humanity. The Eggplant sandwich, by the way is spectacular.

Lives up to the hype! I ordered the kebab pita & the Sabich pita. Although both were good, the kebab pita was my favorite. The mix of flavors & the aroma added to the deliciousness of the pita. Friendly staff too!

One of the best falafels I've ever had. Everything here is fresh & perfectly made. These green steamy falafel balls taste just like they were delivered from the Middle East & their pita is just so tasty. This is a must in Montreal
