Ribbon -cutting today for new downtown Dayton restaurant
The new downtown Dayton deli that we told you about last month — Carmen’s Deli in the Fifth Third Building — will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. today, Aug. 17, according to the Downtown Dayton Partnership.
The new deli’s address is 110 N. Main Street, Suite 90, although the entrance and the deli itself face Second Street in the Fifth Third Center, across from from the Kettering Tower.
Plans call for a ribbon cutting and official remarks at 4 p.m., to be followed by hors d’oeuvres, partnership officials said.
The new restaurant is owned by Haitham Imam and his wife Carmen, for whom the deli is named. Haitham Imam previously served in food-service management at Sinclair Community College and at area health-care facilities.
Carmen’s will be open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. Its phone number is (937) 610-9999.

I worked at that spot for two years. Never did we get robbed or have any attempt. And as far as beggars the only thing they ever asked for was the key to the bathroom. Painfultruth I read a lot of comments on here and I don’t think you have ever said a nice thing.

Better keep that ribbon to tie up the first robber to hit this place. I’ll give them 6 months, and then they’ll close due to lack of business…

A great place for lunch. The food is fantstic, fresh and plentiful. The owner is very friendly and is open to suggestions. A much needed additon to downtown.

Had a chance to eat there last week. Great food and service. Blows away the previous tenant. Best of luck!
