Seva restaurant seeks community support after Detroit closure

Several businesses in Washtenaw County, Michigan, are making headlines this week, including new openings and calls for community support. Seva, a popular restaurant known for its vegan and vegetarian dishes, is seeking help from the Ann Arbor community. The restaurant remains open but is struggling after the closure of its Detroit location at the end of February. In positive news, Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken has opened a new restaurant in Ann Arbor. Located at 2272 S. Main St., it offers crispy Korean fried chicken and is the third Bonchon in Michigan. Another new eatery, Tabe, debuted in downtown Ann Arbor earlier this month. This restaurant presents a mix of Asian dishes and upscale dining, taking over a space that was previously home to Jim Brady's. A new café, Stimulatte, opened near Ypsilanti at the end of February. It serves coffee, teas, shakes, and food, aiming to energize customers’ mornings. In downtown Saline, DropTop Pizza has opened a restaurant offering Detroit-style pizza, wings, and milkshakes. The spot officially opened in late October and also serves salads and smash burgers. For those planning celebrations, Chelsea Party Loft is a new venue in Chelsea. Opened by local parent Greg Gattuso on March 1, it’s available for birthdays, graduations, and other events. Lastly, Zingerman’s Delicatessen is hosting its own “Menu Madness” tournament, inviting customers to vote for their favorite sandwiches throughout March. These updates reflect the dynamic business environment in the Ann Arbor area.
