"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
"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
"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
