Teff

I’d never had Ethiopian food, but very glad I now have. Everything I ate here was delicious and I really appreciate the variety of flavors between ask the dishes on my plate. Efrem, our waiter, was just wonderful. Highly recommend!

Really amazing dinner spot! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels both fresh and cozy. The staff is kind and happy to answer any questions about the food. We enjoyed the meat sampler and had enough leftover for lunch the next day! Reasonable prices and great experience overall.

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.

I don't want to be the guy that writes a bad review. But. We ate at Teff for the first time last night. It was Restaurant Week, so perhaps they were overcrowded. I think nearly every table was full. The food was delicious. Great presentation, and very tasty. Our server wasn't particularly warm or smiling, but this may be because they were very busy. I think I only saw two wait staff. Definitely makes for a tough night. We waited a bit for the appetizer, and we nearly finished it before our cocktails arrived. The main course was really outstanding. Hats off to the chef. I do have one slight recommendation for your restaurant. Ethiopian is of course eaten with your fingers. It would be so nice if we were presented with a bowl of lemon water, or even some prepackaged wipes to clean our hands before we ate. And I would recommend the same at the end of the meal. The waitress brought the check, and I had to use my sticky fingers to extract my wallet from my pocket. I finally dipped my napkin in my glass of water so I wouldn't get the CC terminal all messy. For those older folks (I'm 65), it's a hard room with concrete floors and brick walls, no tablecloths, and music, so hearing was definitely a challenge. The sound bounced around quite a bit. Please go give the food a try, and to the management, please provide a way for diners to clean their hands. You will have happier patrons!

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.

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.

We were visiting my brother and his family from Boston- they live in Greenwich and brought us here. The food here was so much better better than any place in Aniston. The environment was nicer than any Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been to. The service was excellent - they never let us run out of injera- and I even had a delicious cocktail. Wish this was in Boston!

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?
