Tarek's Cafe & Grill Coming To Shoppes At Amberly

A new breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant is coming to the Shoppes at Amberly shopping plaza off Amberly Dr. in Tampa Palms, the space we once called Neighborhood News headquarters. 

Tarek Elsayed, who has owned and operated Tarek’s Café & Grill on the University of South Florida’s (USF) Tampa campus for the past 23 years, is set to open a second location, which will take up our old offices, as well as the former Spices of India next door, totaling 4,300 sq. ft.

“I’ve been thinking about a second location for years,” Elsayed says. “The opportunity never came. But, the location became available.”

Elsayed says the new location will serve all three meals to 150-160 seats at booths and tables, with an open-kitchen design. The restaurant also will serve vegan options, but will not serve alcohol.

Elsayed says he hopes to officially open in early December.
