“ We split the Deluxe Vegan Platter which was great value for money. You really can't go wrong with that option. All the elements were flavorful and the meal is very filling and shareable between 2. I also had the Sambusa, but I wasn't a fan. It was just too flaky for me and I wasn't in love with the texture of the shell. Service was great. ”
“ I went here one time during my trip to DC with a group of 5. We made a reservation in advance. First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it was a nice first experience The food was good and the atmosphere feels like a cozy family dine-in. Affordable price!! ”
“ Small cute little restaurant in Bethesda. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I really liked it. I have no other references to compare the food with, but I can tell you that it was very delicious. I love the Ethiopian style tomato salad, it had the right amount of spices and sourness. We tried a veggie platter combination and their tibs platter. They served the food with injera bread which is an interesting concept. Definitely give this place a try! ”
“ I've had the opportunity to eat at the CherCher 9th St location, so My expectations were very high. The place has indoor and outdoor seating. The decorations are filled with fine art. The music has set the ambiance perfectly. I ordered the #LambTibs with #Injera. They were seasoned so well. The waiter was very nice and helpful. My Food came out quick and was hot. The bathroom was clean. I really smiled my experience. ”
“ Amazing service and excellent food. We got the sambosa, the special tibs and the deluxe vegan combo. Everything was so good. Can't wait to come back again ”
“ My family and I come here on a regular basis and the food never disappoints, we absolutely love this place! The vegan options are amazing, we always get the vegan delight delux, and the meat options are also great (my boyfriend loves them). ”
“ The food is AMAZING. If you eat meat. I ordered a chicken dish—the meat was so tender. The spice is more than just heat—it’s pure flavor. I ordered the chicken dish with a boiled egg, and the curry has just an unbelievable aroma to it. Love the texture of the injera (the spongy bread). The reason I rated it four is because I did feel like the vegan options fell a little short. There was ten sides offered in the vegan platter, but I felt that they were significantly less flavorful than the chicken dish. Overall, would 100% recommend if you’re looking to eat meat. ”
“ Had such a great meal at Chercher Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, every bite was amazing. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely one of the best spots in town for Ethiopian food. Can’t wait to go back! ”
