I’ve enjoyed Ethiopian food many times and was really excited to hear this spot opened close by. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match my expectations. Our waitress lacked warmth and never mentioned the happy hour menu — we only found out because a neighboring table had one. The food arrived cold, and the drinks took quite a while to come out.
It’s disappointing because I truly appreciate the cuisine and culture, but this visit fell short. Sadly, I’ve checked this place off my list and won’t be returning.
Went to a restaurant next door for drinks and an appetizer.
I wonder if the negative reviews get flagged? Because this was not it. Would not recommend. Felt like the tables close to us got the attention, and the happy hour menu but ours. Weird vibes for sure. Definitely disappointing.

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!

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!

Delicious food, great service and attentive staff. Signature cocktails are good as well.
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.

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.
Incredible food, order the goat stew. It is the best I have ever had!

Teff has been cooking delicious, authentic Ethiopian food for years. They are consistent, affordable, and service is amazingly fast. Their downtown Stamford location makes them a convenient choice as well. Highly recommended!

Great Ethiopian restaurant! Bursting with flavor and very fresh, loved the injera and the akilt (cabbage with carrots) and the sig way (beef stew). Very spacious and friendly staff.

I love Teff! I have dined in twice and have ordered delivery through Uber Eats a few times too. Service has been great, food is fantastic. I love how clearly marked the vegan options are (and that there's just as much for vegans to eat as there is for meat eaters). I always do the sampler, and ALWAYS have leftovers. Thank you <3

Been here multiple times and the food is excellent each visit . We usually get the meat tasting. The doro wat is such a star. There’s Bunna Cafe and Ghenet holding it down for Ethiopian in NYC, Mesob in NJ and so glad to have Teff in CT. It can get packed sometimes so advice is to come early!

Amazing food..Injera should be made thicker however. It is too thin and more needs to be given to the table so we don't have to wait on server.
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.
