" The pita sandwiches here are a game changer. I ordered both the chicken and falafel pitas and could not get enough. The freshness of the ingredients is evident with every bite. Even the fries are phenomenal. However, the restaurant can get busy, so I suggest going during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" TESFA is simply fantastic! The ingredients are fresh and full of flavor. I had the shawarma wrap and a side of sweet potato fries, both of which exceeded my expectations. The only downside was the wait time, but it was worth it for the quality. I'll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to try this place! The falafel was out of this world—crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The staff was so welcoming and helpful in choosing my meal. I especially loved their homemade hummus paired with fresh pita. This will become a regular stop for me. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
