Owner/Chef, Azmi Jebali honors his Israeli roots and shares his passion for farm-to-table ingredients at the Mediterranean Café. The Café offers a unique dining experience complete with fresh ingredients, locally sourced produce (from their farm), and top-notch service. Mediterranean Cafe’s cuisine draws influence largely from the Middle East and North America, offering classic Mediterranean dishes with an American flare. House-made hummus, falafel, and other made-from-scratch delicacies overflow the menu, and guests can expect to taste freshness in every bite.

Did we say Fresh? The Mediterranean Café is the only restaurant in the area that maintains a farm year-round (Jebali Farms). Chef Azmi is also a founding member of the Lexington Community Garden. The non-profit garden grows produce that is then donated to churches, families in need, and the community.

Mediterranean Café, located at 327 West Main Street, has been a staple in the Lexington community for over two decades, offering authentic Mediterranean cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. To better serve its patrons and adapt to the evolving digital landscape, the restaurant has enlisted the expertise of Splash Omnimedia, a full-service marketing agency based in Lexington, to design and develop a new, user-friendly website.​

“We are excited to partner with Splash Omnimedia to create a website that reflects the quality and hospitality we offer in our restaurant,” said Azmi Jebali, owner of Mediterranean Café. “This new platform will make it easier for our customers to access our menu, learn about our specials, and place orders online.”​

Splash Omnimedia brings a wealth of experience in web design and digital marketing, having collaborated with various businesses to enhance their online presence. The new website for Mediterranean Café will feature an intuitive layout, high-quality images, and integrated social media links to foster better communication with customers.​

“Working with Mediterranean Café is a fantastic opportunity to help a beloved local restaurant connect more effectively with its community,” said Matt Thompson, Senior Partner at Splash Omnimedia. “Our goal is to create a digital experience that mirrors the exceptional dining experience that patrons have come to expect at their establishment.”​

The new website is expected to launch in the coming months, offering customers a seamless interface to explore the menu, make reservations, and stay updated on upcoming events and promotions.​

The 6.5 acres is home to tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce and corn. Right now, they’re growing collards and strawberries.

For three years now, a group of Lexington residents focused on giving back have come together to feed those in need through a community garden. Their fall crops will feed families this holiday season. 

Over six acres worth of land is all purposed for good. 

Azmi Jebali, a local restauranteur, uses only about 20% of this land to grow his produce for his business, the Mediterranean Café. The rest goes to those in need. 

Right now Jebali and the Taylor family are helping maintain fall crops – 500 collard plants and 1500 strawberry plants.

“Sometimes we have a lot of produce. Our harvest is huge sometimes. We deliver thousands of thousands of pounds to the organizations,” Jebali said.

Jebali tells News 19 he gives back because it’s what his family taught him, and because when he was in hard times, Lexington locals came to his rescue. 

“I received some help from the community. In my business, there’s a lot of support and whenever we have a chance we will give back,” Jebali said.

That’s where the Mill family comes in. Scotty and Susan Mill joined together with Jebali to purchase the land and start a non-profit to feed the hungry, called Hunger No More of the Midlands – Lexington Community Garden. 

The food feeds everyone in need. That includes people dealing with substance abuse, people who can’t pay all the bills, schools and churches.

The produce drop offs are to places like Mission Lexington, Reconciliation Ministries, and Turner AME church.

“I also think you feel just connected. I think God wants us to be connected and community is important. And that original grant that we received, it was about connected communities and we’re stronger when we’re together. And being out here and working in the garden side by side with people, you get to know people and it gets you out of yourself,” said Susan Mill, treasurer for Hunger No More of the Midlands.
