The owner was so kind, engaging and helpful. The food was prepared fresh and had such a unique blend of flavors. I had the most refreshing experience overall.

I love Tesfa. This place is my go-to for lunch when I haven’t brought any leftovers to work. They’re always so kind and happy to see me. The falafel is so fresh and satisfying. Long live Tesfa.

Bar none, best falafel, shawarma and shish taouk in Montreal. The real deal. Better than Mamoun's in NYC. For context, my family is from Iran, my dad was Persian Jew, and I've been lucky enough to cook in some very fine restaurants myself. I know real Mediterranean food. And this is it. Thanks for the awesome meal once again, guys!

Love this place. Food tastes fresh and prepared with love, a must try. The place is small so finding a table may or may not be an issue depending when you go.

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

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