TESFA reçoit des avis unanimes sur ses saveurs méditerranéennes fraîches et vives, avec le falafel pita, le sabich pita, le shawarma et les kebabs souvent salués comme des choix d'exception; le houmous est décrit comme onctueux et les pains pita comme moelleux et frais, les portions généreuses et le rapport qualité-prix avantageux. L'ambiance est appréciée comme cosy et accueillante, mais l'espace est petit et les places peuvent être difficiles à trouver, surtout aux heures d'affluence. Le service est fréquemment loué pour sa gentillesse et son esprit de famille, tandis que certaines visites mentionnent un service plus lent lorsque le lieu est occupé ou des soucis occasionnels d'emballage à emporter et d'une commande qui n'est pas tout à fait standard. Dans l'ensemble, TESFA est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs endroits pour la cuisine méditerranéenne dans le quartier, apprécié pour sa fraîcheur, sa constance et l'hospitalité authentique qui donne envie de revenir.

If you're into Mediterranean food, this is the spot! They claim to have the best falafel in Montreal-& it's true 😁.
I also loved the kebab. The ingredients were super fresh, the staff were friendly, & the freshly baked bread was amazing. Probably the best & freshest pitas I've had in Montreal.
Totally worth the price!
The lemonade they recommended was good-nice & sour-but a bit too sweet for our taste 😅.
TESFA is a true gem in the neighborhood. The small 15-seater unassuming restaurant serves excellent falafels & a variety of sandwiches for both meat lovers & vegetarians alike.
The falafels are truly fantastic; crunchy on the outside with a soft fluffy interior that almost crumbles. The salad is vibrant, fresh, zingy, & surprisingly filling. The falafels & the pita chips offer the perfect textural contrast.
The staff are very welcoming & humble, & it is wonderful to see them operate seemlessly in such a clean & well-organized kitchen.
All in all, I highly enjoyed my experience with TESFA & will be coming back for everything else that they have to offer.
First time visit to Tesfa today, & SO happy I came in! Beef sandwich the best I've ever had. Hot, fresh & juice. Perfectly spiced & bread amazing! Service with a smile! Thank you Tesfa!!😋
Great place for Mediterranean food. A mix of Turkish, Israeli, & Egyptian style with fresh & authentic dishes. I highly suggest trying any of their sandwiches with a small side of hummus, falafel, or sweet potato fries.
We drove from Ottawa for Israeli hummus & we were blown away! The kebab & chicken shawarma are also amazing. So delicious & fresh. Thank you! Open a restaurant in Ottawa please!

A great Mediteranean/Eastern African restaurant ! On Plateau Mont-Royal, lowkey but well located. The taste was above the exceptations, I would suggest the kebab Pita has authentic flavour. I've had a great experience, that includes the service, genuinely nice coming from their staff. The spot is well maintaines & decorated. The vibe is very relax, no rush to leave your table or order more. You can also take out, I have ordered online & it was well packaged, warm & as fresh as when you dine-in. Give it a try !!
We Love Oriental food & found TESFA via Google. It was absolutely delicious! The Falafel are awesome & the pita heaven in mouth! The Service needed some time, but thats worth it, cause the made everything fresh for everybody!
Ordered the Sheed pita & my partner had the Shawarma pita. Both of us were blown away. The chicken was so juicy & tender, & the pita was soft & fresh. I've never eaten a pita so quickly in my life, it was so good. I don't live in Montreal unfortunately & I can't stop thinking about these pitas! They really are unique. Next time I'm in town I'm going back to Tesfa!
Soooo good. We had the bowl versions of the garlic chicken sandwich & the falafel salad & everything was so fresh, tasty, & generous portions. The staff were also super nice & helpful. Will absolutely be back.
Fantastic food! Shawarma pita was made with care using many fresh ingredients. Bread was freshly baked, & hummus was delicious. Restaurant is inviting & staff very friendly.
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.
