“Ashok Bajaj of Knightsbridge Restaurant Group is pleased to announce the upcoming September opening of Little Black Bird at 3309 Connecticut Avenue, NW, next door to Sababa. With 30 seats in the main dining room and eight seats at the bar, this new, inviting wine bar will replace the original Bindaas, located in the Cleveland Park neighborhood, which will close on August 6.
