A restaurant called Medina appears to be preparing to open in the former Ballston location of Earl’s Sandwiches at 4215 N. Fairfax Drive.
A posting on the door of the site reads, in part, “coming soon,” and signs indicate that menu options will include shawarma and falafel.
Medina does not seem to have an online presence, though as of this morning a permit application for a new 32-seat indoor restaurant at the N. Fairfax Drive address was listed as active with the county.
Earl’s closed its Ballston location on June 15, though its original Clarendon location remains open.
