As I'd sort of guessed from the shirt, and as the guy wearing it explained, Hamtramck, a section of Detroit, is a mixed, multi-ethnic neighborhood "with a kind of West Philly* vibe". Тhe Polish on the bottom means "is for lovers", but according to the Palestinian owner of this restaurant, the Arabic characters on the top aren't Arabic or any of the many languages that use that script, and don't spell out anything like "hamtramk".
