9 Restaurants For A Casual Weeknight Dinner In DC

"When you show up at Chercher on Monday night, you’ll join the crowd awkwardly standing around the door waiting 20 minutes for a table. This Ethiopian spot in Shaw doesn’t take reservations, though it gets really busy here on weeknights, but they have service down to a science. Chercher sits on the second floor of a rowhouse with tattered tables haphazardly crammed together to accommodate as many people as possible. Get the $20 vegan deluxe special, served with lentils, chickpeas, and collards, that comes with enough food to be shared with three people." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
