Excellent food! This was such a great find in Montreal. Meat portions could be a bit bigger, but the food is really good so still worth the price in my opinion. Definitely the best humus & falafel I've had outside of Israel. Shawarma is less traditional & not shaved off a rotisserie, but quite flavourful & moist, just wish the meat portion was a bit larger. Definitely beats most of the Lebanese style shawarma you mostly find in Montreal. Whatever else you get, do not skip out on a humus plate to accompany it. The falafel is also very good & you get 4 balls with the humus plate.

TESFA is the BEST!!! Our most regularly visited restaurant & beyond delicious every time. The music is always phenomenal, all the staff are so welcoming & kind, & I have never left unsatisfied. While the falafel & pita sandwiches are out of this world, they have my favourite french fries in the city! I cannot overstate how much TESFA deserves your business.

I like the beef kebab more than the chicken. They give alot of sauce. Small restaurant, we wait a little bit long for our food..
