I love coming here when I do my errands around the plateau. The food is always delicious, fresh & good portions. Their falafel sandwich is amazing as well as their hummus plate. I love their side salad. Courteous & welcoming service behind the counter. Small space but comfortable & quaint.

So amazing. Very kind service, he explained the menu & gave me recommendations based on my tastes. Additionally, it was very fast & efficient so I got my pita in 10 mins. The music was great & the restaurant was clean. The falafel pita itself was perfectly spicy, bitter, fresh, & rich. The size of the falafel was great, so I could get a good ratio of ingredients in a bite.

TESFA's take on Shawarma is a divine celebration of flavors, spices & angels' dust. Absolutely the best I have tasted in the Montreal area. I have tried several of their sandwiches: Shawarma... Pargit... Sabich... each amazing more than the other... very hard to pick a favorite. A quote from my son: Why did it take us so long to return to this place?! I want to bring all my friends here!
