Love this place!! It’s a quaint little place hidden at the backside of the summit. It is always clean, the food is always consistent and good, the staff is always exceptional, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. It’s table service unlike Al’s or Purple Onion.
The food here was outstanding! I would recommend that you try the chicken kabob complete with a Greek salad, hummus and pita bread, and fresh fruit all served in a casserole dish! Top that off with walnut baklava, and it’s obvious why we will be back! I love this place!
Just went to the Olive Branch for the first time earlier this week for lunch. Small place. Excellent food. Get there early for lunch or you will have nowhere to sit. I ordered the Steak in Sack with a wrap instead of the pita pocket… mistake, but only because it is a juicy fans the sauce is hard to contain in the wrap. Otherwise, the sandwich was excellent. The steak slices were tasty and tender. Overall, it appeared that the lunch specials provide very generous portions. Going there again today for round two.
Best Greek food ever!!!. I’m must admit this place is awesome! There was a slight mix up with my order but they fixed it right away. They have excellent customer service and did I mention that the food is superb!! I ordered the deluxe gyro, baba, and grape leaves. If you are in the Birmingham area go and check Olive Branch out you won’t be disappointed!!
Not from here, but went here based on reviews. It was not great.
I love the Olive Branch! The hareesa is an awesome dessert and chicken gyro, stuffed squash, all of it. Totally delicious. The owners mother is an amazing cook and you can tell she puts a lot of care into her dishes. The soups are also delicious. However, I don’t consider this Greek food. The owners are notGreek. They are Arabs.
Bad Experience. This place came highly recommended and I couldn’t wait to eat here. I had a pretty rough day and I was excited to eat some good food. 1st issue- we were seated right next to another table, my back was touching a strangers back. (not a big place but had plenty of open seats). 2nd issue- ordered an app, came out after our entre. Still, these issues were nothing to write home about. 3rd issue- had to ask for the check 3 times, still nothing so I walked up to the register to pay. 4th and final issue- the one that broke the camels back, our waitress/cashier didn’t even look up at me when I ask to pay she grabbed my money and grabbed some extra cash from the office. She placed my change near her behind the cash register and walked off. I had to reach over the counter to get my change and she never said a word. Food was fine (not any different than the other Greek place right down the road). Service was TERRIBLE and for this, I will NEVER go here again. I gave them so many chances and they just took it and ran. Honestly I feel that I was discriminated against because I was not a RICH MIDDLE AGED WOMAN, sitting there pounding down bottles of wine.
