It’s over 5,000 square feet, according to the owner, Alfred El-Amin, who said he can seat up to 80 people.

The restaurant will serve certified Halal products featuring his Philly Cheesesteak and a Salaam-bomb (Boston Steak Bomb), sandwiches, salads, burgers, soups and desserts and will offer fruit smoothies and soft drinks.

Hours of operation now will be 10 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
