Good quick service, has gluten free (bread is provided on side on bowls) but ask no bread in bowl. I asked for spicier toppings, & they provided!

Great experience at TESFA! My friend & I ordered two chicken shawarmas along with hummus & four falafels, & everything was excellent. Fresh, well-seasoned, & clearly made with care. The customer service was just as strong as the food. The staff & cooks were kind, hardworking, & welcoming throughout our visit. We also had the pleasure of meeting the co-founder, Efrem, who was genuinely warm & passionate about the restaurant. This is a place that values quality, hospitality, & teamwork. Looking forward to coming back again!

The sabich hit the spot. It had a slightly different spice profile than the other sabichs I've had, but it worked well & was a nice change. Would recommend.
