The Mediterranean Bakery & Deli was founded over 35 years ago as a pita bread bakery. Later, the bakery started offering imported Middle Eastern groceries that were unavailable anywhere else in the area. In time, it became Richmond's first Mediterranean restaurant. To meet a growing demand, the bakery and grocery store added ready-made Mediterranean food to its options. Today, you'll find fresh baked goods, hard-to-get groceries, and hot deli items. 20 years ago, Jameel and Saba Abed bought the Mediterranean Bakery & Deli. With their many improvements, the shop has become the best Mediterranean food service in the Richmond area.
