The new restaurant is owned by two local couples: Wondimagegn Shewa and Hailu Waldyohnse, and their wives. Shewa is a chemistry professor at Sacramento City College and currently resides in Woodland but was originally from Davis. Waldyohnse currently resides in Davis.

Taffach intends on bringing authentic Ethiopian dining culture to Davis, including the injera, a gluten-free sourdough pancake-like flatbread made with teff flour. The guest will eat the food with their hands using the bread. However, rice would be an alternative for those who may not be accustomed to injera’s sour flavor profile.

The restaurant is anticipated to open in July or August, and a liquor license can be seen pending with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. According to Davis Enterprise, the wives will do the cooking while the husbands handle the operational side of things.
