Super affordable & delicious cute resto to grab a sandwich. We ordered the sheed pita, shawarma pita & the side of falafels. Everything was homemade & fresh! Our favorite was definitely the sheed pita. The chicken breast was tender & the garlic sauce was chefs kiss. The falafels were also amazing. They had a nice crunch accompanied with some hummus. These sandwiches were generous in portion & are an amazing value. Will def be revisiting this joint!!

Really the best falafel I have ever had & easily my favorite restaurant in the area, it is in a different league from most takeout places. Kind people working there too. My day is always better after a sandwich from Tesfa.
