Locally-owned halal restaurant expands to East Charlotte. When does it open?

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. The couple went on to open its first brick-and-mortar location in MoRa in 2021, then came a second at Camp North End’s Keswick District in 2023. THC drinks could soon be banned in NC.

Best coffee shop? Charlotte bakery & cafe earns spot on national Top 10 list

Amelie’s French Bakery & Café has earned the No. 8 spot on USA Today’s 10Best Independent Coffee Shops list for 2026. It was the only North Carolina café to crack the national ranking. Here’s why the Charlotte-born café was named among America’s best spots for coffee: 10Best editors praised the café’s coffee, service and cozy atmosphere, singling out the salted caramel mocha, thick hot chocolate and barista-made espressos and cappuccinos. Pastry lovers can expect croissants, salted caramel brownies, macarons, cheesecakes and éclairs, along with savory bites like quiches and sandwiches. “Our cafés are developing creative and joyful experiences through our coffee program, and we’re so honored to see the hard work being recognized,” an Amelie’s spokesperson told CharlotteFive by email. First opened in NoDa in 2008, Amelie’s has grown to include locations in uptown, Plaza Midwood, Carmel, Montford and Rock Hill, South Carolina. A 10Best expert panel nominated the contenders before a month-long public vote decided the rankings. Southern Living also named Amelie’s North Carolina’s best bakery in 2023.
