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.
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!
It's like fast-food without table service but they still ask for tip when you pay. Regretted to tip when I realised you have to PAY for water. Got the shawarma pita, pita is nice but the chicken is a bit dry.
Update: Ordered again & we are back to the original version!
Always my to go place for take out but today the food tasted way different than usual. There was too much cabbage in my falafel pita, next, too much tomato & cucumber moisture that made the bread so soggy from inside that I could not even finish it. They did not even put their usual sauce inside today. My boyfriend ordered the shawarma & said the chicken tasted not fresh. Whatever changed here should be undone right away!
This place deserves so much love. I got a Shawarma Pita & it was 🤌🤌🤌. The pickled chillies with the Mango sauce was amazing. Would definitely recommend.
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!
Casual spot for incredibly delicious pitas, falafel, shawarma, etc.. i highly recommend the falafel pita, & the sweet potato fries were great as well. 5 stars for service too! Must go in Montreal
Excellent food! This was such a great find in Montreal. Meat portions could be a bit bigger, but the food is really good so still worth the price in my opinion. Definitely the best humus & falafel I've had outside of Israel. Shawarma is less traditional & not shaved off a rotisserie, but quite flavourful & moist, just wish the meat portion was a bit larger. Definitely beats most of the Lebanese style shawarma you mostly find in Montreal. Whatever else you get, do not skip out on a humus plate to accompany it. The falafel is also very good & you get 4 balls with the humus plate.
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!
