Halal Street Food lovers rejoice. The family restaurant is expanding to Camp North End.

What’s happening: The fast-casual Middle Eastern restaurant’s second brick-and-mortar location will open at 701 Keswick Ave. Suite 101 this summer.

Why it matters: Halal Food Cart has been an Uptown staple since 2016 when husband and wife duo Khuram and Damaris Bashir launched the cart.

Details: Expect the same Halal dishes you know and love, like chicken and lamb over rice, kabobs, gyros and hummus, pita and plenty of white sauce.

  • The atmosphere will reference the original cart truck. There will be indoor and outdoor seating.
