Oakland restaurant Conflict Kitchen will reopen today at its normal opening time, 11 a.m., after closing on Nov. 7 because of death threats received in a letter.

The restaurant announced on its Facebook page Tuesday morning that “after consultation with local law enforcement agencies,” it would reopen on Nov. 12 and remain open during normal hours, seven days a week. 

Pittsburgh Police spokeswoman Sonya Toler said “the investigation remains open,” regarding the person who sent Conflict Kitchen the death threats. 

The owners of Conflict Kitchen could not be reached for comment regarding the Facebook post via email or by phone on Tuesday. 

“We greatly appreciate all of the incredible support that we have received during our closure, and we are eager to reopen our Palestinian iteration,” the Facebook post said.
