The standalone building at 6669 Little River Turnpike that had housed a succession of Korean/Japanese restaurants over the years will be reincarnated as Dama Ethiopian Restaurant & Pastry.
Thanks to a reader comment (below), we learned the new restaurant is an offshoot of the popular Dama Diner at 1503 Columbia Pike, Arlington. The new restaurant could open by the end of August, says Amsale Dama, the co-owner with her husband, Hailu Dama, who is described on the Dama website as “the best of the ethnic barristas one can find in metro D.C.”
The Annandale restaurant will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with the same popular Ethiopian and American cakes and pastries, including vegan varieties, as the Arlington location, which the Damas have operated for the past 15 years. The new place, however, will be more formal and will have a bar and more appetizers.
The Gangam Sushi restaurant, which opened in that spot in February 2013, closed several months ago. Before that, it was Osaki Sushi.
