Oh My Grill Halal Mediterranean Grill is expanding to Cedar Rapids with a new location at 500 Blairs Ferry Rd. according to KHAK.

The restaurant originally opened in Cedar Falls in 2019 as a burger restaurant before transitioning to a Mediterranean concept in 2025. KHAK reported. A separate Oh My Grill Chargrilled Burgers location opened inside The Mall at College Square in Cedar Falls in May 2026.

The announcement for the Cedar Rapids site came in July 2026. KHAK reported.

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

The new option adds a Mediterranean dining choice for Cedar Rapids and Linn County residents. No opening date has been announced.
