Alex Harb opened Meddys in September 2014, bringing a new fast-casual dining option for Mediterranean food to Wichita. It immediately became a hit. Here are just a few of our accolades: •Meddys Beef Shawarma named sandwich of the year by December 2014. •Meddys voted a Wichita favorite in September 2015 by Wichita Eagle readers. •Meddys Fattoush Salad voted the best in Wichita in October 2015. •Meddys is one of 50 Wichita Restaurants You Should Try, The Wichita Eagle's 2016 Dining with Denise guide. At Meddys - a sort of nickname for the Mediterranean - the menu may be simple, but it's simply delicious, healthy food, prepared fresh daily and offered to customers at reasonable prices. We don't even have a microwave on our premises. "I didn't invent the wheel," says Alex. "I went with original recipes for food items I grew up eating." Meddys even roasts its meats on a traditional rotating spit for more authentic flavor. With our executive chef Mona Youssef, a longtime caterer who joined our kitchen in late 2015, we have added even more homestyle Mediterranean dishes. Meddys started construction on its second location in May 2016.
