Downtown’s Swahili Village Is Being Sued by D.C. for Alleged Wage Theft - Eater DC
"Swahili Village, the upscale East African restaurant situated along D.C.’s power-dining M Street NW corridor since early 2020, is under fire for allegedly breaking minimum wage and labor laws for years. A newly announced lawsuit from D.C. attorney general Brian Schwalb alleges Swahili’s founder and chief operating officer both engaged in a repeated pattern of stealing wages and tips from hundreds of its servers, hosts, food runners, bussers, and bartenders." - Tierney Plumb
