Mediterranean Deli, Bakery, and Catering

The food is wonderful and you cannot find a better human being than the owner, Jamil.

So much delicious food with options for every diet. Also the nicest people … we love this place!

Med Deli is fantastic food and the owner Jamil is a generous member of the community who goes above and beyond with his hospitality and generosity. So glad Med Deli is a local institution and has such great Mediterranean options!

This place is great! The owners are wonderful, caring people and the food is delicious! They will be opening back up soon and we can’t wait to sit in the restaurant again! Definitely a place to go!

wonderful food, great business run by an extraordinary man and friend to the greater community

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.

Thank you so much cause I did order today from your restaurant and I just love it I’m from Morroco and I missed the food over there so I saw your menu and I ordered it was fabolous thank you for giving me that feeling again

Massively popular eatery in Chapel Hill, but due to a large fire this place is closed until further notice.

This is one of the most important institutions of Chapel Hill. All the food is incredible, and the selection is huge. There is something here for everyone. I have been hundreds of times across four decades and never been disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Some of the best vegetarian food in the Triangle.

A great variety of Mediterranean food with delicious flavor.
Updated post: they don't serve food anymore. It says pick up only, but it's not available every day.

I had high hopes & expectations for this place, ordered the beef and lamb gyro. The meats are somehow mixed together, per the staff, and forms a “half” u-shape when it is placed in the gyro. This to me looks suspect to fake or GMO meat, not something my digestive system can handle especially when looking for healthier places to eat at. I’m use to eating lamb and beef gyro without the meats being “mixed,” and honestly this is the first time I’ve heard of this. The tabouli salad is soaked in lemon/lime juice to help keep it, which is noticeable when eating it; much like restaurants do when trying to preserve guacamole. Also there was a hair in my plate.
I called the restaurant back, spoke with Daniella, who gave me a full refund, in which is very much appreciated. This restaurant might be good for those who don’t have dietary restrictions or health concerns, but it’s just a hard pass for me.

Only drawback is the place's popularity: lines are often long because the food is so good!
