CherCher Ethiopian Cuisine

Saminda Wijegunawardena

The Ethiopian food here is fine, you'll find better in the county and definitely in DC but the service here is very lacking. Just not a great deal of concern for the customer experience. They don't even bring out a wet hand towel to clean your hands before you eat with your hands, which is fairly typical for a cuisine you're encouraged to eat with your hands. We were kept waiting for a while between visits and our appetizer (sambusas) came out cold and dry. If you're going to try something, I'd recommend the veggie & meat sampler for $60, it's plenty of food for 2-3 people and you'll get a nice variety of vegetable dishes and lamb, chicken and beef dishes too. Their drink menu is uninspiring. Update - the owner's response about the hand towel is interesting. They completely skip past the poor service issues and say you can get a wet hand towel if you request it and that they are trying to get people to eat with their hands. As I wrote, the hand towel is to *clean* your hands *before* you eat with your hands, as has been customary in any culture including mine where you eat with your hands.

First time having Ethiopian food and did not disappoint! Was excellent. Had the beef tibs. Was a very generous portion and priced just right. Will be back!

Loved Eating here! The service was amazing, our waiter was beyond helpful in giving us suggestions for meals. The Cher Cher house special Tibs and vegan special were beyond DELICIOUS. Our meal was rich in flavor and so fresh! We ended our night with some baklava. Please don’t skip the baklava! Definitely a 10/10 experience!
