Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant & Mart Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Wonderful intimate restaurant with authentic cuisine.
Brought my father back to when he lived in Ethiopia in the late 60s
My go to Ethiopian food in DC.
We split the vegan special to go which comes with 7 veg estarían specials. My favorite is the carrots with string beans. Everything is well flavored and extremely filling. The food can take awhile to come out, but it's always served hot and fresh. Their online ordering has a convenience fee that I don't like, but other than that I would definitely get it to go again!
This place is a Michelin star restaurant for a reason.
The food is absolutely amazing! I asked for their recommendation and got the spicy lamb dish and a vegan special. Both were super flavorful and had good portion sizes. The place was really busy and everyone who tried to walk in was given at least 40minute wait, but I was alone so I was able to get a seat at the bar really quickly. This is an amazing place for solo dining as the staff are nice and food comes out quickly once you are seated. Since it is busy, there is always noise around, so you don't feel awkward sitting alone, and there is plenty of people watching you can do.
I was very excited to try this place, especially since it
I was very excited to try this place, especially since it has received multiple good reviews and recognition, but was ultimately disappointed by both the food and the service. Upon entering the restaurant, our party was first instructed to sit at the bar area. Shortly after, we were instructed to move to a two-person table. After ordering our food, we were instructed to move to another two-person table. In total, we sat at three different tables, which is very unusual. The restaurant wasn't even busy when we arrived. I would suggest implementing a better system to seat customers, as it was frustrating having to get settled and then being asked repeatedly to move. The honey wine was pretty good, but the vegan special was mid and not memorable. You don't get to choose what's on your plate; ours consisted of the salad, two types of lentils, collard greens, cabbage, chickpeas, and string beans and carrots. Everything is at room temperature. Unfortunately, there was something hard I bit into when eating the lentils, which was discouraging. I did like how the servers would occasionally go around and pass out more injera to customers when they were running low. However, there was not much interaction between us outside of that, as they did not stop by our table to talk to us or ask us about our food. Other tables were able to receive more interaction with them though, which somewhat explains the difference in experiences.
I came here with a friend two weekends ago because I was
I came here with a friend two weekends ago because I was craving Ethiopian food, and this place did not disappoint! The flavors were delicious, though next time I might ask for a little more spice since I'd like a little bit more of a kick! (I have medium spice tolerance). We got the Chercher vegan special and then two meat dishes (doro wot with the chicken drum sticks and the Ybeg tibs), which was plenty of food for two people! Highly recommend both of the meat dishes as the flavor was great, the meat tender, and very filling! The vegan special was great to try a variety of options, and I would say my favorites of the vegan special were probably the Ye'ater Kik Alecha we't and the Tikil Gomen as those tend to be my favoriate vegetarian Ethiopian dishes, but they weren't quite as amazing standouts as the two meat dishes. We also got to try the dry red Acacia wine which was very pleasant and fun to try! It actually wasn't too dry in my opinion and was pretty flavorful. The service was very friendly, but sometimes because the restaurant was so busy and crowded it took a little bit of time to wave someone down if we needed more injeera. We also were sat outside in the patio, which I imagine during the summer is an excellent place to eat, but in early spring, it might be helpful to add one or two extra heaters. All in all, a great meal and a great time that I'd like to come back to, but be prepared for a wait if you don't get reservations!
This was my first experience trying Ethiopian food and this
This was my first experience trying Ethiopian food and this place was amazing! The service was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant was bustling with energy. Very much recommend!
Review for take-out only - Many restaurants/foods do not
Review for take-out only - Many restaurants/foods do not translate well to take-out. Portion sizes change, flavors and texture change, or it's just not the same when brought home. However, Chercher's method of lining the take out containers with the injera the plopping scoops of vegetables and stews works extremely well. You might need an extra injera for finger scooping. Just as delicious with take-out as dine-in ....
Our group of eight was able to sit in their second floor
Our group of eight was able to sit in their second floor area immediately. We had two vegan deluxe combos, and added an order of chicken and an order of beef - this was a wonderful way to try a variety of options for our group. We also gave their Ethiopian Cabernet Sauvignon a try. Great food experience, nice service, no frills. Would happily check them out again.
The food was amazing, and the service was perfectly
The food was amazing, and the service was perfectly attentive and friendly. The place is small but back patio suited us well. Definitely making it our neighborhood Ethiopian.
This is probably my favorite restaurant in MD.
The house special tibs are so so good and I really enjoy the vegan deluxe. This restaurant has a really nice ambiance too. I did come here one time and they didn't serve the vegan deluxe with the bread, I had to walk to the waitress to ask because the food was getting cold and then they didn't bring out the beef ribs until I was ready to pay the tab. It was a pretty bad experience tbh, but we've just gotten take out ever since so we haven't had any issues. Maybe the waitress was new?
I came here twice on a weekend trip to DC because it was
I came here twice on a weekend trip to DC because it was that good. We got the beef special tibs and the vegan special. Everything was so good. My only complaint is the inside is a bit tight and our table was a little dirty. A must try in the DC area.
really attentive service and delicious food!! definitely
really attentive service and delicious food!! definitely coming back here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Small but quaint restaurant.
Initially I just thought I didn't like Ethiopian food but this food was so dang good. I had the vegetarian special and the beef tibs with a few sambusas. Absolutely amazing food and completely changed how I looked at Ethiopian food. Everything was so good and I'm completely full. 1 meal can feed 2. Service was fine water wasn't a problem and ordering was quick. Amazing food
Delicious and one of the best meals we had while in DC.
The service was great and the coffee was wonderfully strong.
First time Ethiopian.
.....I am sure it was very good. However, bit to spicy for me and I need a fork......but I gave it a go. Sure it is superior, just not my cup of tea. My bottle of beer was good though.....
I happened upon this place when a friend recommended we go
I happened upon this place when a friend recommended we go grab Ethiopian while in Washington DC. I had no idea about the accolades this place had received, but they are well deserved! It's located in what appears to be a renovated house with seating, downstairs and upstairs. The decor is very classic and the ambience is absolutely spectacular. The place is a great combination of classy, lively, and relaxed. It's very Ethiopian! The folks working here were top-notch, knew their stuff and made some great recommendations. They took really good care of our group which included in a number of small children. We were seated upstairs promptly, and they got our food out very quickly. The food was absolutely delicious! Standard Ethiopian fair with lots of vegetarian options, some great Tibs (roasted meat) and an actual selection of honey wine (Tej). Having eaten at a lot of Ethiopian places, I will say that it's very rare to actually find a place that has more than one option. I found the mamas Taj to be quite delicious. The place has been on the Michelin list a number of times, and it's absolutely deserved. If you're in the area, this is a spot that you need to go check out!
Off the charts! We were visiting DC for a conference and
Off the charts! We were visiting DC for a conference and have had decent Ethiopian food in this town before, so decided to try this place and were blown away! It is SO GOOD! We had the deluxe vegan platter and every single item was beyond yummy. We were stuffed but couldn't stop eating! Seek it out if you're in DC!
Chercher is the closest Ethiopian restaurant to us.
We have been here a couple of times when they opened, but when we went there recently, to our surprise the restaurant was packed on a weekday. Glad the restaurant is doing well. We sat their small bar area and ordered combo with chicken and eggs. It had 5 vegetarian dishes (3 types of lentils , tomato and lettuce and pepper with chicken Dora wat and egg). Enjira is their bread which was so good. Very soft and they also have one extra. Highly recommend local African lager to go with it. Food was very delicious. Chicken was very tender and the sauce was delicious. Ambiance is good. Nothing too fancy. It's a casual place. They have seating in the basement as well. Parking could be hard to find in this area. We usually walk to this neighborhood.
Great food and exceptional service.
I wanted in on a Thursday night with no reservations and was able to go right up to the bar and eat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'll absolutely be back.
Recently dined at Cher Cher to savor Ethiopian cuisine, and
Recently dined at Cher Cher to savor Ethiopian cuisine, and it was somewhat a good experience with fancy, unique dishes that we hadn't tried before. The culinary adventure brought us delightful flavors at a reasonable price and introduced us to a whole new world of tastes. While the food left a positive impression, I must mention that the service could use some improvement. The woman who served us appeared to be somewhat rude, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Polite and attentive service is crucial to enhancing the dining experience, and I believe that addressing this aspect would significantly elevate the restaurant's appeal. Despite this, the intriguing flavors of the Ethiopian dishes make Cher Cher a worthwhile spot for those seeking culinary exploration.
Gimme Gimme more
Chercher has amazing food! I was in town for a weekend and everyone told me to go to an Ethiopian restaurant in DC because it is very good. I found Chercher and decided to give it a try. I was so happy I went because the meat was tender and super soft and the array of spiced veggies was so delicious, I returned again the next day! Staff was friendly and allowed me to charge my phone so that I could use my virtual card to tap when I realised I left my wallet at home.
Great injera and savory entrees!
Very festive atmosphere on a very busy holiday weekend. Surprisingly, they were able to keep track of our drinks at the bar and then transfer this to the back patio area which was heated. We enjoyed the drinks at the bar. We had beef tibs, Bozeno Shiro wet, deluxe vegetarian platter. All were excellent!
Delicious Ethiopian!
Met friends for a delicious Ethiopian meal served in a sidewalk setting. Enjoyed a beautiful 7 part vegan sampler with plenty of injera to help keep our hands clean. Served with a sense of humor and lots of courtesy, the only downside was the frequent sounds of sirens from the local fire station trucks that kept passing the restaurant on 9th street. Still, would definitely recommend and return to this restaurant!
Disappointing
Disappointing. Too many gnats randomly flying, wall dirty where we were seated, and too stingy portions.
Excellent doro watt in DC
Whenever I travel to major cities, but especially DC, I try to go to an Ethiopian restaurant. A friend from Australia that I hadn't seen in a decade was at the same conference and I suggested Ethiopian. We had a great meal, I think that the doro watt was about the best that I've had. In some other places, they put a bit of vegetable with the meat dishes but they don't do that here so we ordered one doro watt and one vegetarian sampler which ended up being perfect. He had never had Ethiopian food before, so I was happy that he had a great experience. The service was friendly.
Ethiopian restaurant
Good food, onest price, clean. Good the appetizers and the meat dishes. The service was a little slow but maybe they dont aspect so many people. In general Good!
Friendly Service, Tasty Food
The restaurant is nondescript from the outside and crowded inside but the food is excellent. As is the cultural practice, everything is served in a communal dish and you eat with your hands by breaking off a piece of injera and using it to grip or scoop up a morsel of an entree in the center. Every few minutes, one rotates the dish so that all get to try everything without needing to stretch or lean across. The food is complemented by Ethiopian honey wine. The service is always with a smile. Prices are moderate. It's a great place to visit.
Marvelous experience of Ethiopian cuisine
I recommend this quality restaurant to taste the excellent ethiopian cuisine, very tasty with original spices. Be careful, you have to eat with your fingers! Ethiopian wines are less spectacular but are essential with meat dishes. The service team is very friendly and provides all the necessary explanations, to what will discover a new aspect of world gastronomy. Highly recommend.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
