West Warren Avenue, block by block: Dearborn's halal main street
Two and a half miles of Lebanese grills, bakeries, sweet shops, butchers and supermarkets between Wyoming and Greenfield in East Dearborn, in the order you drive them, with what to order at each stop.
The street
The City of Dearborn calls the Warren Avenue corridor, Greenfield to Wyoming in East Dearborn, a thriving hub of Arab American-owned businesses with roots in the 1920s. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud has called it the entrepreneurial heart of the city for generations. It is a four-lane road today; a $31 million redesign funded mostly by a federal Safe Streets grant is in design, with a three-lane road diet, wider sidewalks and outdoor cafes among the options.
A facade program paying up to $200,000 per storefront has started changing how the street looks. Al-Ameer and Cedarland finished their renovations in May 2026.
This guide runs east to west, from the Detroit line toward Greenfield. Address numbers climb as you go.

Questions people ask
Where does Warren Avenue's food strip start and end?
The City of Dearborn defines the Warren Avenue business corridor as running from Greenfield Road on the west to Wyoming Avenue on the east, in East Dearborn. Wyoming is the Detroit city line. The Arab American News describes it as a roughly 2.5-mile corridor.
Which direction do the addresses run?
West Warren follows the Detroit grid, so address numbers get higher as you go west. The 10000s are at the Detroit end near Wyoming; the 15000s are at the Greenfield end. This guide runs east to west, so the numbers climb as you read.
Is Warren Avenue being rebuilt?
Yes. The city received $24.8 million in federal Safe Streets funding in 2023 for a two-mile redesign between Wyoming and Greenfield, with options including a three-lane road diet, wider sidewalks and outdoor cafes. Final design was expected in fall 2026. A separate facade program has paid for storefront renovations, including Al-Ameer and Cedarland, completed in May 2026.
Where do I park?
Each business has a small lot beside or behind it, and there is street parking on the side streets. Lots fill on weekend evenings. No official parking count for the corridor has been published.
