Oh My Grill Halal Mediterranean Grill plans to open a second location in Cedar Rapids this fall.

The Cedar Falls restaurant at 2020 College St. will add breakfast and coffee service at the new site, according to The Gazette. Owner Omer Noorwala said the Cedar Rapids restaurant is slated to open in September or October 2026.

The planned location is at 500 Blairs Ferry Rd. NE in the Blairs Place shopping center, The Gazette reported. A sign for the site was photographed July 8 at 600 Blairs Ferry Rd. NE.

"This space is about to become home to fresh Mediterranean favorites, authentic shawarma, sizzling BBQ, and so much more," the announcement said. "Every wall, every detail, and every decision is being built with one goal to create an incredible experience for the Cedar Rapids community."

The expansion will give Linn County diners another casual Mediterranean option as restaurant growth continues in the area.
