Teff

my experience here was excellent. All the staff were smiling, even the chef. The food was exceptional and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It felt intimate and special. The most important thing to know is that this is a family own business that has been here for 11 years. I wish I knew about it earlier. The bottom line is that most people will be happy to have visited this restaurant.

Sat at the bar — super welcoming staff, great service from start to finish. Ordered the siga wat as part of my meat and vegan sample and wow… rich, spicy, and fall-apart tender. Absolute standout. Had a happy hour cocktail and a beer (because balance). Food is bold, deep flavors and perfectly spiced. The vibe was relaxed but vibrant, the service was on point, and the food? Easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. If you’re anywhere nearby, go. If you’re not, make it a destination.

We've ordered from Teff before on UberEats, but recently had our first in-restaurant dining experience. Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended, especially the large vegan menu. Also, amazing cocktails.

True gem 💎 warm, welcoming, inviting staff and atmosphere. We shared the vegan sampler for 2 and it was awesome! Definitely going back for more 😊

We were four of us and got a tasting menu for three. Plenty of food for four of us. We ordered Atkilt, Dinich, Shiro and Timtumo - all vegan / vegetarian choices. They were all amazing! Also very good service.

The clean warm design of the new place in Columbus Circle with its jungle motif is lovely. The food is light but the proportions are huge so I literally didn’t finish but felt totally full. Service is excellent! Cocktails are creative. Whats not to like?

Attentive service and tasteful decor make this an inviting spot for a healthy, tasty Ethiopian meal. The portions were a tad small (only two small pieces of chicken in the doro wot), but the flavors were there. The gomen (collard greens) were not terribly hot though. Would come back.

I was recommended this place and so glad I tried it! The food was absolutely delicious. The spices were brought from Ethiopia to flavor the tasty dishes and days are devoted to making the wonderful meals and Ethiopian wine that we thoroughly enjoyed. I can’t end this review without thanking my wonderful host Asmeret who did a phenomenal job explaining the meals, drinks and the culture with my husband and I. Asmeret was passionate about the business and you can tell that their family runs this business with love. I am looking forward to returning to Teff and recommend this place to anyone in search of delicious Ethiopian food like they’ve never had before! I also recommend this place to anyone who loves leaving restaurants with leftovers. The portion sizes are nice and large, the prices were very reasonable and my leftovers were just as amazing as when I had the meal at the restaurant.
