Mediterranean Deli

I previously went to Mediterranean deli in chapel hill and really liked it. They have Turkish style doner (not really) but it was good. We tried chicken and lamb kebab, they were delicious. I really like their sides; food you can get by pound or as platter. Sauté Mushroom and Mediterranean Quinoa! Next time we will try other vegetarian items.

Place has a great atmosphere and a great selection of different side items and entrees, Carlos does an excellent job and is always very friendly, Gavin always friendly and doing so.ething both great guys, lacy is always hard at work too , try the chicken or lamb fatayer, chicken salad is awesome as well. 5 stars for me and my fam

I had heard praise for Mediterranean Deli from devotees of their Chapel Hill location (including folks with Lebanese roots, so you know it’s legit). When when the Elon location opened, I jumped at the chance to try it! This location occupies the entire street level of a new building (built 2016-2017) in downtown Elon near the beautiful main campus of the eponymous university. The variety of dishes is staggering and includes influences from Greece, Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond! There are plenty of vegetarian options and dishes are labeled for common allergens. Pick up a slip of paper and a golf pencil when you enter, write down what you want as you walk along the case, and hand it to the cashier at the other end. Staff will then bring your food to your table. I managed to ask the guys behind the case a few questions and got a sample of one dish, but they didn’t seem eager to help or interact with the customers. The food runner was much friendlier and happy to answer questions when she wasn’t serving. Don’t miss the complimentary condiments bar for all the tahini, tzatziki, olives, and Lebanese pickles you can eat! The restaurant is nicely decorated with many Middle Eastern influences. There’s also a grocery section with fresh produce, fresh meats, packaged groceries, and Ziyad brand spices. Mediterranean Deli is a great addition to this bustling college town and the surrounding community and meets at least one need for a trip to one of the nearby larger cities!
