“Dear PoPville,

I was walking past the new Gantry development in Union Market yesterday and noticed a liquor license posted for a group called “New Restaurant Concepts Inc.” When I looked it up online I found that the principle is Sanjay Mandhaiya, the executive chef at Pappe on 14th Street. Not sure whether it’s a second location of Pappe or not but it appears he’s opening something here.” (more…)

Ed. Note: Pho Viet and Grille opened in the former Bookhill Bistro space back in 2013.

Thanks to Ryan for sending:

“they plan to open by December. Family run business, they’ve spent weeks cleaning up the whole area, incredibly nice people– I really hope they succeed. They are the same owners as Vegz in Admo. They said they will have vegetarian menu similar to but not exactly like vegz options.” (more…)



“Pappe’s Kathi Rolls”

From an email:

Pappe, the colorful Indian cuisine staple in the heart of DC’s Logan Circle neighborhood, is excited to debut a revamped happy hour menu featuring naan kathi rolls, the popular street-food dish that originated in India. Featuring rich and savory ingredients, the kathi rolls are available with your choice of lamb, chicken, paneer (Indian cheese) or channa pindi (chickpeas). Guests can also enjoy a selection of cocktails, including the ‘Ginger Bliss’, made with rum, elderflower liqueur, ginger, and lime, plus $10 off bottles of wine. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Any word on Le Mirch in Dupont? It’s been closed the last two weekends when I tried to go. Website doesn’t have any updates….”

I tried calling the number listed at their Facebook and it’s been disconnected. Also there are no hours nor contact info listed on their website.
