Mejores restaurantes africanos en Silver Spring

Elmina was an absolute delight. It’s a treat to enjoy tasty food in such a tasteful space. Great service for two first timers here, guiding us to a wonderful birthday meal for my partner! And it was so nice of Chef Eric to take a moment to talk.

I loved this place! What a treat to learn live jazz on Monday and Thursday nights! The food was excellent, although I prefer more spice/hot than they served, - more traditional Ethiopian style - after adding some spicy sauce and powders, it was fantastic!

Beautiful interior, beautiful ambiance and excellent service. We will be back!

Chercher was one of the highlights of our Washington, DC trip! We love Ethiopian food and don’t have many opportunities to enjoy it back home in Oklahoma, so we were excited to try Chercher—and it exceeded our expectations. We started with the sambusas, then shared the vegetable sampler with fresh injera, the beef tibs, and the doro wat. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The beef tibs ended up being our favorite, and my husband also really enjoyed trying two Ethiopian beers. The service was warm and welcoming, and the staff was happy to answer our questions and make recommendations. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to slow down and enjoy the meal. If you’re visiting DC and want to experience something beyond the typical tourist restaurants, Chercher is absolutely worth the visit. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

10/10. Mbuzi choma bites were tender, succulent and very flavorful. Service was great, Michael was attentive and helpful. Overall, it was an amazing experience with delicious food.
