Halal Street Food will bring traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes to a new area of Charlotte. The locally-owned restaurant is expanding (again) with a new location on Lemmond Farm Drive in East Charlotte, just off Albemarle Road. The grand opening is Thursday, Nov. 19. “New neighborhood. Same obsession-worthy flavor,” management teased in a recent Instagram post. Halal Street Food serves authentic halal favorites.
