Shawarma Queen Bringing Halal Street Food Concept to Hiram
A popular food truck is expanding into a restaurant with shawarma and halal dishes.
HIRAM, GA – A new shawarma spot is opening soon in Hiram. Shawarma Queen is transitioning from a food truck into a brick and mortar at: 5157 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy #101, Hiram, GA 30141, owner Mohamed Abdelmegeed told Business Debut.
What to Expect
Following the success of his halal food truck in Dallas, GA, Abdelmegeed decided to invest in opening a permanent restaurant. His biggest reason for the transition is to offer families and groups a place to relax and dine, regardless of the weather.
Expect a comfortable, casual place to enjoy dishes such as shawarma, falafel, kebab, stuffed Egyptian pie and more.
Ownership Background
Abdelmegeed owns a law practice in his native country of Egypt, he shared. Here in the United States, he attempted to earn a law degree from Georgia State University; however, having recently begun to learn English made it extremely difficult.
To support his family, he invested $7000 into a food cart. Then, he opened a food truck, and now he is opening a brick and mortar. He shared that he hopes his story will inspire other immigrants to the USA to start and build their own businesses here in the United States.
Opening Timeline
Abdelmegeed anticipates opening toward the end of May if progress continues on schedule. They are currently under construction.
Once they open, they will serve lunch and dinner 7 days a week.
