Company Overview

Meddys is a full-service restaurant with an ordering counter offering high quality, healthy Mediterranean cuisine served quickly at affordable prices. In 2014, we opened our first location on East Harry Street, Wichita, providing our neighborhood with a unique dining experience that provides mouthwatering food and friendly servers in a relaxed, modern atmosphere.

Fresh, healthy food and hospitality are at the heart of what we do. Every dish is made to order using only the freshest locally sourced ingredients. We go the extra mile to give you and your friends a wonderful experience by tailoring your order specifically to your dietary needs as best we can with our delicious hummus, shawarma, pita, complimentary sauces, and signature cocktails.

As of 2024, we have five Wichita branches: East Harry Street, North Greenwich Road, Maize Road near New Market Square, South Ridge Road, and downtown on South Washington. We are also in the Kansas City Metro area with branches in both Kansas and Missouri: Prairie Village, Brookside, Lenexa, and Liberty. Our newest location opened in Tulsa and we are excited to launch OKC in mid-December!
