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. Think: wood-fired kebabs, gyros, shawarma and chicken and lamb over rice. Falafel and salads are also on the menu, plus hummus and its popular white sauce. CharlotteFive reached out for more information on the new location Thursday, Nov. 12, and was awaiting a response. Drawing inspiration from their first restaurant in Michigan, husband and wife duo Khuram and Damaris Bashir launched Halal Street Cart in uptown Charlotte in 2016, CharlotteFive previously reported.
