TESFA

TESFA is a small, casual spot on Papineau that does Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food with a noticeable East African/Eritrean influence. The falafel is the big draw-crispy outside, fluffy inside-& the hummus, shawarma, kebabs, & eggplant dishes are also excellent. Their sauces really make the food, especially the house spicy z'hug, tahini, & tangy mango amba. Lots of great vegetarian & vegan options, & the staff are genuinely warm & welcoming.

Insider move: get the sabich or falafel pita & ask for all the sauces, especially if you like some heat. The smoked-eggplant De Maman is another sleeper hit. It's a small counter-service place, so seating can be limited & food may take a little longer when it's busy. Takeout is easy, & you can even buy their z'hug & amba to take home.

En un mot : WOOOW!

J'ai déjà testé le pita Kebab, Falafel & maintenant Pargit, & ils sont tous délicieux !

Le pain est fait maison, ça fait toute la différence. Les portions sont super généreuses, à chacune de mes bouchées j'ai toujours eu un morceau de poulet. La sauce maison est juste magique & légèrement relevée pour le pargit pita. Sensation de satiété sans se sentir gonflé.

Je n'ai jamais mangé sur place mais l'atmosphère est bonne & le lieu est agréablement décoré avec des plantes suspendues.

Le personnel est toujours gentil & souriant. J'adore, good job les gars !!

The food is fantastic & service is great! We even dropped our dinner plans & came back to the same place twice while visiting Montreal. Kebab Pita, Falafels & Smoked Eggplant are the stars. We tried those with hot sauce on a side.

Que c'est BON !!! Meilleur kebab & falafel de Montréal sans aucun doute possible. C'est frais, c'est parfumé. La musique est cool. Le service est souriant ! Venez & mangez avec un sourire que vous ramènerez à la maison.

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.

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 😅.

Took the sheed & kebab sandwiches with fries(not a fan of the fries) & a side of falafels. Everything was delicious but the falafels were outstanding! The place is small & there was no AC but the service was the food make it worth it! ( can get crowded)
