I genuinely think this may be one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in Montreal.

I first came across TESFA after a previous order issue where my hummus & falafel never arrived, so I never actually got the chance to try the food. This time, not only did they completely honor & rectify the situation with kindness & professionalism, but the meal absolutely exceeded every expectation I had.

The hummus is hands down the best hummus I have ever tasted. Smooth, buttery, rich, & impossibly silky. It literally melted in my mouth. I've never experienced hummus with this kind of texture before.

I ordered a platter with hummus, chicken, fattoush salad, & pita, & every single element was exceptional. The chicken was unbelievably tender & moist, perfectly seasoned, & full of flavor. The fattoush was vibrant, fresh, & beautifully balanced, with the mint making the entire salad feel bright & refreshing. & the pita? Warm, thick, pillowy, & clearly made with care.

What struck me most is that everything tasted intentional. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt generic. Every bite felt like it was made by people who genuinely care about food.

This is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like a hidden gem. But honestly, TESFA deserves every bit of recognition it gets.

Absolutely unforgettable.

Discovered a week ago & have gone in to get food three times!! Everything is so fresh & they truly have the best falafel in town. Highly recommend!

I decided to try this on a whim & I was pleasently surprised!

This is NOT your typical middle-eastern fastfood experience.

Strong points:
- Freshness.
- Not overly salty & fat.
- Feels like mom cooked a good meal for you.
- Price feels right for what you get.

Constructive comment:

Portions size would be okay but big eaters will feel liks this is small. I took an entree & I am glad I did! An extra side of bread or meat would have been perfect in my case.

The meat does not feel like it was grilled on a vertical rotisserie (I had the chicken), but it was fresh & flavorful none the less.

I was sad to see no marinated turnip &/or hot pepper on my plate, it would be my only complaint!

Will I order again? Heck yeah!

***I removed one star simply because I asked for door to be rang for delivery & they did not oblige. If this is handled from & 3rd party delivery service then consider this 5 stars.***

Several clearly marked vegan options! Lovely staff! I got the falafel salad & it was delicious: the flavours go very well together, very refreshing, all vegetables are fresh & crisp, the falafel is the perfect addition. You can ask to make the dish non-spicy.

We enjoyed the fresh & zesty flavors of our food! The chicken bowl was packed with veggies & chicken & a generous helping of spicy sauce! The falafel salad had a minty flavor coating the many veggies. They forgot to include a side pita with the salad but that was more than ok as we couldn't finish the generous portions anyway.

Golden, crispy falafel tucked into a warm, fluffy pita, loaded with crunchy cabbage, fresh chopped salad, tangy pickles, & a generous swipe of creamy hummus & tahini. Finished with a hit of homemade spicy sauce for that perfect kick.
Served with hot, salty fries & a bright blood orange soda on the side, fresh, messy, & absolutely irresistible. #TESFA #Montreal
