Injera Platter Kitfo Tibs Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony
Vegetarian Hidden Gem
Chercher brings elevated Ethiopian cuisine to Shaw’s restaurant corridor. The warm, intimate space features traditional coffee ceremony sets on display and the aroma of berbere spice in the air. Their combination platter — featuring injera topped with doro wat, misir wat, gomen, and kitfo — is the best introduction to Ethiopian food in the city. The vegetarian options are substantial enough to satisfy any appetite.
