Tsehay has found a new, larger home after closing in Park View last year.
. Then, the restaurant closed last spring, with a promise to reopen. Now, that’s finally happening: Tsehay has secured a new, larger home in Adams Morgan, and it will debut by early June.
The owners started looking for a larger space, initially at the Wharf and in Navy Yard, where Yirdaw says one landlord told them they didn’t want an “ethnic restaurant.” Ultimately, they landed in Adams Morgan, as Popville Gossa—who also owns Le Chic hair salon—learned to cook from her mother, Tsehay, the second-oldest daughter of 14 siblings. Tsehay prided herself on grinding her own spices, maintaining her own garden, and getting the freshest ingredients at the market—lessons she passed on to her own children.
Yirdaw, who’s bartended in DC for more than 20 years in addition to his IT day job, has created a cocktail menu that incorporates Ethiopian ingredients. A margarita gets a savory, spicy kick from mitmita, a chili spice blend, while a riff on an Aperol spritz is topped off with Ethiopian honey wine.
