If you have been wondering what would replace the smoky comfort of Just Q'in BBQ on East McMillan, the answer has officially arrived. Halal Food Inc., a family-run Mediterranean and halal restaurant, has opened its third Cincinnati location in Walnut Hills at 975 E McMillan St, taking over the former barbecue storefront and planning a formal grand opening in August.
New storefront fills former barbecue space
As reported by Cincinnati Business Courier, Halal Food Inc. moved into the unit vacated by Just Q'in BBQ and intends to host a grand opening in August. The Courier notes that the operation is family-run and that the Walnut Hills shop joins existing locations in Clifton and downtown.
What to expect from the menu
The restaurant's online ordering page lists staples such as chicken shawarma plates, gyro wraps, falafel and baklava, a quick-serve Mediterranean lineup that has already made the brand a go-to for students and downtown workers. The Clifton shop is listed at 2516 Clifton Ave on that ordering page, according to Order Online, and downtown directories show the original outpost at 121 E Court St, as per Res Pick.
Neighborhood turnover on E. McMillan
The new Halal Food Inc location occupies 975 E McMillan St, the address previously listed for Just Q'in's Walnut Hills storefront. Toasttab shows the former address and hours, underscoring the physical swap on East McMillan as new concepts cycle through the neighborhood.
The Cincinnati Business Courier notes that the restaurant plans a grand opening in August but does not list a specific date. Customers looking for updates can keep an eye on the restaurant's ordering page and local listings for the official announcement and any opening specials.
