"Aviv, a Middle Eastern vegan restaurant in Portland, is closing all its locations by the end of September. Known for its vegan shawarma fries, hummus, falafel, and sabih, Aviv has been a staple in the Portland food scene since its inception. Despite opening a new location on Madison last month, the pandemic and other challenges have led to the decision to close. The Pearl location will remain open until the end of September for those wanting to enjoy their popular dishes one last time." - Waz Wu
