The staff and atmosphere receive many compliments for warmth and friendliness, giving the dining experience a family owned vibe that feels personal and inviting.

Overall it is seen as a hidden gem in the Plateau, offering affordable, high quality Mediterranean dishes that leave diners eager to return.
J'ai pris le Sheed Pita en trio, très bon. Il y a un peu trop de sauce, ça ramollit le pain si on prend à emporter le temps d'arriver chez soi. Bonne ambiance & personnel souriant.
A small, plant filled restaurant that is big on flavour. I love the Kebab bowl, it's so tasty with fresh veggies & well seasoned beef. The pickles are a surprise every time but they work. The great music & friendly staff make for a very pleasant experience.
What a great little spot for a sandwich full of flavour, nutrition & made with love! We left feeling full & even better, feeling healthy!! Definitely recommend this place! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Première fois au Tesfa & ce fut une découverte incroyable. Le sandwich kebab était excellent, beaucoup de saveurs, des légumes marinés fondants, les frites de patates douces croustillantes & un Hummus à tomber par terre ! 🥙
Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, & everything was served fresh & clean. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, & welcoming. A great experience all around, & I can't wait to come back!
