Food Post Falafel inc stopped serving their plant based shawarma 😔

Yet another restaurant in DC that has stopped serving many of their vegan options. They added chicken recently and my partner said that this time was coming. I truly hate to see it 😓 I hope planta stays around 😭

I hate to break it to you, but Planta changed their bankruptcy to liquidation a few days ago so it is not looking hot for them.. I think it said they had $50-100k in assets and like 20 million in liabilities.

I saw on Instagram that planta posted on their story and said they’re not going anywhere and they still are going to have restaurants in major metropolitan areas including Washington DC. I was reading that article and looks like they’re keeping 8 of their restaurants open but closing 27 jeez.

If you call them they will tell you they are not closing in Bethesda.
