Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant & Mart

My bill shows a 10% Food charge of $4.00 and a 10% Sales Tax charge of $3.00. How are those numbers different when ask we bought was food? Party of 3. Food was fine. They have 6 or 7 Ethiopian beers on the menu and only one in stock. The wall by our table was FILTHY, covered in food like it witnessed a food fight. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. As soon as we paid, they literally asked us to leave, and the restaurant was not full. There are so many good Ethiopian restaurants in DC, you can skip this one.

I ordered food to go due to poor parking access. The food was good. I ordered the veggie deluxe platter and beef tips special. Cost was average (approximately $46 total). However, I was charged $50. I don’t mind tipping, but I did not dine in, and I had never eaten there before. Why would I tip before I experienced tasting the food? Please allow your customers to decide if they want to tip, especially if they are not dining in. You would have gained more money if you didn’t make the additional charge w/o my consent. You lost a customer and obtained a negative review, which I rarely give.

Always a pleasure to eat etiophian food here. Ordered the lamb tibs and a vegetarian special. Lovely tastes and they have hot sauce and extra spicy powder on request
