The food was alright. Ordered Vegetarian deluxe platter and the different dishes on the plate weren't as flavorful as other Ethiopian restaurants I've been do. Portions were a bit smaller than used to for Ethiopian and a sharable platter. Had to ask multiple times for more napkins and injera. For a hands on eating experience, I would hope for more than 1 napkin for my use.

Thr lamb ribs were not spiced wirh the heat i like with a lamb awazi. The vegatbles were fantastic though the green were not spiced like im used to from Dukem or Ebenezers. The service was not good. We thought about leaving ...twice. first when they made us wait at the bar for 15 -20 minutes while they gave 3 tables away to others who arrived after us. They stated they were seated before us because they had 3 people. We had two. Bad business model as we could have purchased several...

The Geba Weta Tibs and Kitfo were amazing! These dishes had the same taste and quality you’d expect in Addis Ababa. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Chercher is a wonderful place for anyone looking to experience authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Thank you for the great service!
