We heard from Spice 6 Modern Indian (740 6th St NW) and verified today that their Chinatown location in Washington DC is open in the former On Rye location. We received a few photos and learned about the new Indian restaurant from an email as below:
The DC location will cater to folks seeking traditional Southern Indian fare and also a full vegetarian and vegan menu. Also launching is a full made to oder traditional dosa menu and uttapam menu!
All curries, sauces, yogurt for mango lassi, paneer and naan is made in house. Naan’s are made to order in a traditional tandoor oven.

Yard House Restaurant Now Open In Chinatown (812 7th St NW)
The Yard House Restaurant (812 7th St NW) opened in early April at the corner of 7th and I St NW. This space used to be the Goethe-Institut’s home before they moved to K Street. The self-described restaurant concept found on their Facebook page is:
Yard House is the modern American gathering place, where food and beer lovers unite. With an endless fleet of tap handles featuring the best American craft and import beers, each Yard House location offers 100+ draft brews and an array of crafted cocktails.
Our globally-inspired menu features more than 100 made-from-scratch favorites, from salads, street tacos and grilled burgers to seafood, steaks and ribs. Each Yard House has a distinct vibe with custom artwork, a classic and current rock soundtrack of 10,000 songs, and glass-enclosed keg room housing up to 3,000 gallons of fresh, quality beer.
Yard House is open 7 days a week from 11 am to 1 am (or later). We can’t comment on the menu of items (found here), the original artwork, nor how classic the rock hits are as we haven’t made it in just yet but we can say it is open. Welcome to the neighborhood!
