“ So delicious! Mediterranean fare at its best. Great variety. Lovely service. I will definitely eat there again. Very filling. ”
“ This place is one of my favorites places to eat EVER! All the women that work here are absolutely amazing and work their tails off everyday :) thank you for always providing the best service! I love you Olive Branch!! ”
“ Every aspect of this birthday lunch was delightful! We had the fried cauliflower app, the Greek chicken soup, the stuffed squash meal, and the beef kabob meal. All were wonderful! The service was great! We'll be back! ”
“ Great service very friendly. Smaller spot but fit lots of people. Incredible lunch prices! 13.50 for a massive plate. Food was great! ”
“ Olive Branch was delicious and charming and I'm sure the owner runs it; you can tell. We started with excellent babaghannoush (a roasted eggplant and tahini dip). Then wonderful grape leaves served hot, unusually; stuffed with lemony rice and beef. And great falafel, fried dark and crispy with bright green filling and nice hummus to dip in. The space is simple and small, an open kitchen fronting the seating and a patio outside. The service was fine and very prompt. All in all this is a great place and deserves your support. Lastly it's quite reasonable--a tasty lunch with tip, tax and leftovers was $57. Go! ”
“ Awesome spot!! Great food. Had the shrimp hummus. Definitely will be coming back! The service and food were both great. Awesome location in Cahaba Heights. ”
“ Olive Branch has been a favorite for many years, might ask well why haven't you contributed till now. Im abit forgetful, letting you in on this gem today. Service has always been above average, kind of like home. There have been few changes over the year's, extended the outdoor seating and parking out front. Clean and comfortable. Hummus and pita is a meal in its self, I almost always fill up before my entree arrives. Must execute some self control. I can only remember the last meal, beef kabobs (so tender, juicy). Love the fresh citrus or fruit to clear the palate. I hope to fill in all the gaps after our next visit. ”
“ Olive Branch is such a great go to for a healthy meal! I had the salmon entrée with a healthy portion of salmon over rice. Just a little bit of hummus and pita, and your choice of Greek salad or tabouleh salad. I did Greek and it was absolutely great. The salmon was cooked so well and the meal is very filling. My girlfriend got the gyro with a side of hummus. Packed with yumminess! If you haven't been, you must try this place! ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised with Olive Branch. The food was fresh and the portions were large. I especially enjoyed the gyro sandwich. The fries were fresh and crispy. The restaurant is on the smaller size but still plenty of seating room. You can even see the kitchen staff cooking upon entry. I can't wait to try more menu items! ”
“ I love this independent, family-owned and operated restaurant. It is located only a few blocks from the Summit shopping complex, and is a great alternative to the chain restaurants located there. The food, atmosphere, and service is much more personal than you will find in most of the cookie-cutter restaurants at the Summit. The Olive Branch was busy when my friend Robin and I met for lunch, We sat at the bar which was very comfortable. Service was fast and efficient. We both ordered the lunch special. I ordered gyro with tabbouli salad. The portion was huge, and it was beautiful. The bright red and greens of the tabbouli were a nice background to the neatly carved gyro. It was obvious that everything was very fresh. I thought the gyro was a little dry. The dipping sauce was very good, and It had a little spice to it. The tabbouli was very good, and three cubes of feta were a nice touch. The pita and hummus were good. The lunch portion is very large, and Robin took some of her's home for later. Robin recommends the Stuffed Squash and the Stuffed Grapes leaves. Both sound like something I want to try next time. ”
