A little different take, from a business perspective...
Where would the deli be located? As much as I love a good deli Reuben, would the local clientele be of the same opinion? Would they want sandwiches at all, or would they prefer something different (wraps, stuffed pita halves, etc.)?
A great restaurant will always be based on great food, but a successful business will always be based on providing what its customers want. It may be a bit of "cart before the horse" to pick out a potential menu before having an idea of who your customers would be.
(Granted, if you already have a general area picked out and know the demographic this post is just taking up cyberspace )
