There were long lunch lines at the Conflict Kitchen in Schenley Plaza in Oakland on the first day of their Palestinian menu in October.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Oakland restaurant Conflict Kitchen has closed until further notice after receiving a letter containing death threats, according to a post on its Facebook page.

Conflict Kitchen will remain closed until the credibility of the letter is confirmed by police, according to the post. The restaurant in Schenley Plaza serves foods from countries with which the United States is in conflict.

Jon Rubin, listed as the restaurant’s spokesman on its website, referred questions about the Facebook post to police.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Sonya Toler was not available for comment Friday night, and attempts to reach anyone at the restaurant Friday evening were unsuccessful.

Conflict Kitchen recently has been the focus of controversy over its serving of Palestinian food with anti-Israel messages on the food wrappers.
