Starting with the menu that has clearly marked vegan options (not a surprise since Ethiopian cuisine is very vegan friendly), continuing with the high quality ingredients and perfectly spiced dishes to ambiance and service which is always great even when full. If you live nearby, this is one of those restaurants that you find yourself visiting at least a few times a month and ordering delivery just as many times.

If you're in Stamford, do yourself a favor and stop by Teff for authentic Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. Everything is fresh, naturally gluten free, and there are plenty of delicious vegan options.

Totally worthwhile to order as a side for your family, friends, coworkers to nosh on. Up to 3 people for one order but you WILL empty the dish. Calamari The calamari is also great. Ordered once and can't stop. Sauce is great, crispiness is great, peppers are amazing. Nice variety of legs and rings. Shrimp Cocktail This is okay! The shrimp is okay and the cocktail sauce is very smoky. If you're into that, you'll love it. Little Bird Awesome dish. Exactly how you're picturing it. Tuna Tartare Really, really good - Ask for extra chips if you need. The team has always been happy to accommodate, the portion of avocado and tuna is generous -- and the sauce is delicious.

Also, the parking is horrendous due to its small parking lot. Therefore, the best parking space you could get is in the lot over. Inside is very spacious with lots of tables, a lounge area, and a bar. Its interior has a very industrial chic design that is perfect for a night out with friends, family, or a significant other. It also gives off a vibrant and relaxed vibe on the outdoor patio overlooking the waterfront. Ambiance rate: 8/10. The food my friends and I ordered: 1. R.I. Style Calamari: These were delicious! The sauce made it extremely flavorful! However, I wish it was a bigger portion and less amount of banana peppers. Rate 7/10. 2. Lobster Roll: This dish was yummy! The lobster tasted fresh and the bread was soft and but. However, I would've preferred for the roll to be warm, instead of cold. Plus, the fries on the side were mediocre. Rate 7/10. 3. Roasted Branzino: This entrée was tasty, especially the sauce it was doused in. A major dislike about this dish is how it's completely filled with bones in every bite. That part made it very difficult to eat. Rate 6/10. 4. Seared Sea Scallops: This dish was very scrumptious! The scallops were soft and the sauce was delectable! Rate 8.5/10. The staff were friendly, and the service was moderately quick. Staff/service rate 6.5/10. Overall, this is a nice place to enjoy a nice dinner for any occasion if you're in the area!

The employee at the register was very friendly and knowledgeable as I was asking multiple questions. The overnight oats were delicious which I had for breakfast with some maple syrup, raisins and other flavors. I also got an iced tea which tasted a bit sour-something was off with it-I told the employee and he immediately asked if he could make me another drink--so he made me a wonderful cappuccino. This was fantastic--rather than just saying oh well sorry-he offered me an alternative which not all places would do. This was so appreciated! So I am only giving 4 starts because of the cost of the food (but all the food looks fresh and tasty) I had an overnight oats and it was $15-but I do also understand they are using fresh ingredients so cost is higher. I will absolutely be back because of the wonderful service and a perfect place to sit and do some work. I want to come back during lunch time to get some of their lunch options--salad bar, grain bowls etc.

So basically the only parts of Stamford I'm even remotely familiar with are High Ridge and the…read moreareas right next to the Stamford train station. Therefore, when I say it took a bit to find a brunch spot on the way to Mill River Park since I had time to kill, believe it. And believe that I wasn't going to look for a spot that was going to take me 1600 years to get served. Put 2 and 2 together, and we make our way over to seasons. It don't look like much, and it's a very small place, but what they lack in size, they make up for in service. Now, am I gonna say that I got my food right away and left? Hell no! Food's made-to-order and is a local business. Of course it was going to take some time! But it wasn't too long, and the people working there are nice. Besides, on my way over, I was looking at the Buffalo Spring Rolls and knew before even walking in that I couldn't pass those up! The other food item I had from this place was their Chicken Fajita Burrito. Just leave out the tomato and you'd get exactly what I'd ordered. The food is where I do have to take away a star, not because it was awful, but because the quality vs. cost ratio could have been better. The food was decent to good, don't get me wrong, but I'd say those spring rolls probably should have been a dollar less for the size I got. The spring rolls were crispy, had that iconic Buffalo spice, and the filling was pretty stuff. Like I said, they're good spring rolls. They were just slightly too small to be worth $7. Similarly, the wrap was good to eat, but a good way to justify the cost would have been to cut down the middle before serving it to me so that I didn't have to break it apart myself to get a cross-section. Again, they were very filled-in food items here inside that spinach wrap. I could see myself coming for these again, but maybe I'd ask and see if they can cut my wrap down the middle in the future.

Didn't bother us too much but would probably bother another customer. The food was pretty disappointing for spending over $130 for two people. Our cocktail drinks were either too strong or too sour. We ordered the burrata caprese and it was not seasoned enough. There needed to be more salt or more balsamic glaze. Without either, it was just bland. We spent $38 on the bistro steak that was supposed to be medium rare. It was so underdone and tasted off and it was the biggest let down because it was the most expensive thing on our bill. The brussel sprouts, sauce, and fries were delicious though. Ironically, the sides to the steak were my highlight of the entire meal. Additional things we ordered can be seen in the accompanied pics. In summary, loved how beautiful the restaurant was but we wouldn't come again because the food does not justify the amount of money we spent.

Must be under new ownership or at least new cooks in the kitchen, judging by the change in quality and taste of the food. The people in the kitchen seemed to be primarily Spanish-speaking. Ordered the chicken kebab wrap and schwafel. Chicken was very dry and drowned in sauce that tasted more like mayo than tahini. They were kind enough to make me a new one after seeing that I was picking at the wrap and the cook explained that chicken breast in the kebab is usually dry. Funny - it wasn't this dry the many times I've had it before. The kebab also lacked the flavor and spice that it had previously. The wrap itself was also thin, dry and unpleasant. They used to use a flour wrap which I think they changed to something akin to cardboard. The scwafel wrap was also very dry. The seating area is small but the workers are very nice and keep it relatively clean. Prices have crept up, as they have everywhere. Given the decline in taste and quality and increase in price, I cannot justify going back to Layla's. The end of an era. I wish they would bring the previous owners/or at least teach the new crew how to make a proper kebab.
