Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar

Authentic Ethiopian restaurant in Washington, DC. The food is very tasty. I’m really happy to have the opportunity to try a different culture’s cuisine without having to travel far. I’ve visited many times because my curiosity keeps bringing me back to explore more of their dishes. I love it every time.

First time getting Ethiopian food. You know the place is legit when your Ethiopian Uber driver knows it, and everyone else at the restaurant was Ethiopian. We got a couple dishes to share and it was all so flavorful and the spice was perfect. I have no specific recommendations because it was all so good. It is very rich so don't order too much or you will not be able to finish it.

Very friendly service. Delicious food. I got the veggie platter with 10 things. It was really tasty. The awesome part is that it’s all vegan (plant-based). The prices are very reasonable. The food came in a timely manner. High quality Ethiopian food in a pleasant atmosphere with warm and gracious service staff.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was great. This was our first time eating Ethiopian cuisine. Our server was very patient in explaining the different meal options. She allowed us to taste the honey wine which was wonderful. The plating and presentation of the food was beautifully done. It was almost too pretty to eat. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting to try Ethiopian food. The atmosphere and attitudes of the servicer was much better than the location on 9th street. We left the other location before ordering to come to the 14th Street location which is the one described in this review.

There are lots of Ethiopian options in DC (and we’ve tried more than a few), but this one is EXCEPTIONAL. We ordered the Deluxe vegan platter and every dish was fresh and ridiculously flavorful. We also got the #3 meat special and it was so juicy, tender, and delicious we had to order a second one. Save this one in your favorites. 🤤
