I went to the restaurant Monday night, even for a Monday night the place was packed. My wife and I ordered the special 1 and the special 3. The food was very delicious but the service was even extra ordinary! After our server realized my wife has a hearing problem, she tired to help us order by the few sign language she knows. She told my wife “Going out for dinner experience includes ordering food for yourself so I wanted you to part of it” which made my wife so emotional. By the end of our night we taught her some new sign languages which might help her for other customers. She was so friendly and patient even though the house was so packed. I’m so happy my wife had the experience she did. I didn’t know it met so much to my wife until I saw how happy her face was. I will definitely recommend it for people who have hard of hearing or family member. It will definitely make them happy they are part of the EXPERIENCE rather than sit there while other people order the food for them.

Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant & Mart offers a warm and inviting experience, showcasing the diversity of Ethiopian cuisine. The restaurant features a cozy and clean ambiance, with friendly service that helps customers choose from the menu. The food is flavorful and exotic, with colorful dishes that are perfect for families. Customers often enjoy a sample plate that includes multiple Virgen dishes and meat options, each seasoned well and highlighting individual ingredients. The Ethiopian flatbread sourdough is light and spongy, pairing nicely with the dishes. Ethiopian artwork decorates the space, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The Geba Weta Tibs and Kitfo received praise for their authentic taste, similar to what you'd find in Addis Ababa. The vegetarian/vegan sampler (deluxe version!) was described as magnificent, with two spicy dishes, Ye'misir Kike We't and Fosolia Be Carote, standing out. The restaurant is small but lively, with very friendly staff and good vegetarian options. The Special #1 (Deluxe Vegan) was highly recommended, especially when ordered family style for each person, offering generous portions. The okra on the platter was a particular highlight. Though there is only one waitress serving, she manages her duties impressively. Tef injera is available upon request, and food is often served on individual plates unless a share plate is requested. The restaurant also offers Ethiopian beers that pair well with the cuisine. Despite limited tables, the wait for food is usually worth it, providing a memorable dining experience.
