Chapel Hill Institution Mediterranean Deli Damaged by Fire | Eater Carolinas

"A rooftop fire on Saturday, July 22 badly damaged the Mediterranean Deli, Bakery, and Catering (known locally as “Med Deli”), with Chapel Hill firefighters taking more than three hours to extinguish the smoke and flames and heavy damage reported to the Franklin Street establishment. Opened in 1991 by Jamil Kadoura, the deli has long been a staple for University of North Carolina students, staff, and faculty and is celebrated for affordable falafel, baba ghanoush, and gyros as well as its welcoming atmosphere and the generosity of Kadoura and his staff. In the wake of the fire a GoFundMe was created and had raised over $93,000 by Monday morning to help employees, and Kadoura posted on the Med Deli Facebook page thanking the community, confirming everyone is okay, asking for privacy, and promising updates about the future; the source of the fire is under investigation." - Erin Perkins

Best Affordable Food in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Triangle | Eater Carolinas

"Med Deli is part grocery store, part deli/bakery, part restaurant. All the pita sandwiches (like falafel, baba ghanoush, chicken salad, and more) are in the $8 to $12 range, as are the gyros and shawarma. A two-item sampler platter from the packed-to-the-gills deli case plus pita bread rings in at $10.50, and for just a couple bucks more the house platters come with a choice of meat (or falafel), two vegetarian sides, and pita." - Matt Lardie

Mediterranean Deli - Review - Chapel Hill - North Carolina - The Infatuation

"Most of Franklin Street is quiet during weekdays while students are in class, but Med Deli’s daily lunch rush is the exception. Every afternoon, dozens of people crowd in front of packed deli cases and order from a huge menu of sandwiches, platters, and pre-made salads. Pick a few mezze from the cold counter and make a plate, or get falafel or kebobs in a pita, or over rice. This is a great place for vegetarians but it works for just about anyone. Get your lunch to-go and eat on UNC’s Lower Quad or drive ten minutes and sit on rocking chairs at the botanical gardens. Or skip the crowd entirely and head in for a sit-down dinner." - Christine Byrne

Med Deli has been a staple in my life for over a decade now, so when it came time to decide where my husband and I were going to get catering for our wedding, there was only one choice in our minds. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. In fact, they completely exceeded our expectations. If I could give them six stars, I would. The food was delicious and most importantly hot. The buffet was organized (they had labels for allergies/dietary options and kept things stocked). Their service team was attentive and even helped clean up the venue at the end of the night.

So I usually pick up my food at the student store I get either the buffalo chicken wrap or the sundried tomato pasta Buffalo chicken wrap is a gamble since it’s hit or miss. You either get a wrap that has little to no sauce and is super dry or a wrap that has a crap ton of romaine lettuce with little to no chicken Or you get both!!! The picture is my first bite which was so dry I had to spit it out half my wrap was just lettuce. If they added more sauce and less lettuce it taste better. The pasta salad either comes ok or frozen and filled with a lot of water once it defrosts which makes the pasta go from dry and cracked to soggy an flavorless I also feel like they need to add more flavor to the pasta salad cus you can’t taste the garlic or seasonings. I also check the dates to make sure it’s new and not expiring.

I recently visited Mediterranean Deli, Bakery, and Catering, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting ambiance, the beautiful decor, and the friendly staff. First off, the food was outstanding. I tried several dishes, and each one was bursting with flavor, fresh, and expertly prepared. The falafel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the hummus was creamy and flavorful, and the tabbouleh was light and refreshing. Next up, I had some of their desserts, which were out of this world. The baklava was flaky, sweet, and perfectly balanced, and the cakes were moist, rich, and delicious. The service at Mediterranean Deli, Bakery, and Catering was exceptional, with the staff being knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. I appreciated how they took the time to explain the different dishes and make sure I had a memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend Mediterranean Deli, Bakery, and Catering to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Mediterranean dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the food and desserts are outstanding, and the staff is exceptional. I would give this restaurant five stars and will definitely be returning soon

Absolutely fantastic service from considerate, conscious employees that was matched by delicious food! The sides really shine through, and the ones to keep an eye out for are the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, falafels and talouli salad. Highly recommend and a good amount of food for the price.

Great place to enjoy some Mediterranean cuisine. You will be amazed at the amount of options to chose from - large variety of entrees and desserts. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The mist-fan was a surprise. I had the Moroccan Chicken Special with Potato salad and Sardines. It was good. They give a large quantity of food.

What an amazing find it is!! They put an insane amount or food on the plate at a cheap rate, and it's not possible to finish a whole dish alone. There is sitting both indoors and outdoors. It's very happening with a decent number of people. The variety of food is overwhelming, haha. The chicken tagine is delicious. The date pistachio is too good. Will return to explore all other options!!

You could literally hate almost every kind of food and still find something to eat here. That's how much diversity they have on the menu. Easily the largest selection of Mediterranean food that I've ever seen and very well prepared. It can get very busy. I'm from Florida and everytime we're in the area we are here we have to stop multiple times and we still never eat the same thing twice. Highly recommended.
