Olive Garden Restaurant in Great Yarmouth

Good food. Paella soup-like but super cheesy so I loved it!

Fantastic restaurant. Great food and service. Value for money. Staff friendly and polite. No rush and such a relaxed atmosphere. Certainly will return

Enjoyed a birthday celebration here. Cannot fault the food or service. Great value for money. Certainly will return.

Absolute diamond of a place. The food tastes authentic and portions are worth the money. Always great service and a decent time between courses. We will be back as been a few times also will help out with special occasions such as birthdays.

Lovely food very clean good staff

An amazing meal and great staff would definitely recommend.

Good food, good service and good price.

Short notice, walk in request, for a table for two at 5.30pm. Fortunately for us they could accommodate us. Great food and the staff are lovely. Definitely recommend.....

5 star for the good....but we went for the 1st time on the 5th of March and way to noisy restaurant.

We love the early grazer at the Olive Garden.

Was lovely food and good service. Reasonably priced menu. It was lovely to go back as we hadn't been for a while

This was a amazing place last year but portion size has got smaller I have never had a desert so small but the price was any thing but small go back to how you used be I will not come back until you change this is the first time I have left a restaurant still hungry

Lovely food and very good service.

Excellent service and cuisine .

Cosy place to eat. Always friendly staff and music in the background. Nothing is any trouble as I have a food allergy they are always kind and happy to accommodate me. The food is fresh and flavoursome and the atmosphere is brilliant. Don't go often enough but love it here when we do!

Great place food was excellent service good plenty of staff seating well spaced out & comfy would highly recommend will deffo be back..

Very disappointed on our evening visit. Food not up to standard. Not much choice for sweet. Bright lights no atmosphere. Felt rushed. It was also cold. I remember how it used to be here and certainly gone down hill. Will not be returning!

Really lovely anniversary meal. I hadn't been for a while, but nothing changed , food is still superb.

Had a great meal there with family. Good portions and tasty. Staff very welcoming.

Lovely restaurant, the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Inside the restaurant is very nice. Service was great too.

Excellent Lunch today King Prawn Starter and Piston Pork main course first class. THANKS

Meal was okay but expensive. For a mediterranean restaurant, it was disappointing that there was no jug of water or basket of bread on the table. No serviettes either until we asked for some. Each person had a complimentary small piece of bread and some olive oil to dip it into but when we asked for a bit more bread we were told it would be an extra £1.50. The staff said they had to get permission from the owner to let us have a bit more bread and we found some of the staff to be unfriendly. The restaurant was noisy, not helped by noise coming out of speakers that was supposedly music but couldn't be discerned above the chatter. We asked if the noise could be turned off but it wasn't. Wouldn't go again.

We had a fantastic evening at Olive Garden on our wedding anniversary on Saturday 25th November. The service was excellent - professional and friendly with great attention to detail. Despite the restaurant being very busy we were made to feel special. The menu was what originally attracted us to book (we're not from the area) with so much choice. The food lived up to expectation, it was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every last mouthful. I wish we lived closer to be able to dine here regularly, but we will be back when next in the area.

Had a delicious meal last night at the olive garden restaurant. We all had different dishes( lamb kleftiko sea bass , chicken gyros, chicken slovaki) They were all equally delicious. And the cheesecake was to die for!

Excellent service from start to finish, delicious food. Make sure you have a big appetite as the portions are plentiful and delicious. The Lamb Kleftikon was absolutely amazing!

We had a lovely family meal to celebrate my mother in law's 80th birthday. Staff were very attentative, very friendly and the food was very nice. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service and food as ever highly recommended.

We felt really rushed through our dinner, and unsure what as the place only had a couple of tables in . We were half way through our starters and the mains came So by the time we started our mains they were cold . The waitress said that this was their policy , but she didn’t say that when we ordered . The stater was ok , the mains were very dry, tasteless and the smallest piece of feta I have ever seen . Really disappointing.

Not impressed with food or service at the particular time I visited which was 2022

Beautiful food, staff very friendly and attentive would recommend

Never had greek food before so tried the meze which gave us 3 samples big portions for samples and Abbie our waitress was very informed on all the dishes will come again

Greek modern restaurant with a large selection of options. Four of us shared four different Mezes as a starter and then a main meal. All the food was delicious and nicely presented, sensible prices all making it a very pleasant evening. Service and staff all excellent, will look forward to going again.

Absolutely incredible meal as always, and the waitress we had was absolutely wonderful, so much service with a smile and so chatty and proffesional I didnt catch her name but she had blonde hair and it was a Wednesday evening. This is 100x my fav restuarant within the area, everything is such high standard and the food is absolutely delicious! Book, book, book!!!!

Absolutely amazing Cypriot food, faultless service and great atmosphere. We will be highly recommending to family and friends and can't wait to return. Yamas.

Lovely Lovely restaurant ,could not fault anything ,food ,staff , atmosphere , and cleanliness . Wont be long before we attend again ,and hopefully book in for Christmas party with friend and family .Thank you Olive Garden

We are in Gorleston for a weekend break and was recommended this restaurant by a friend. Me and my partner shared 6 Meze dishes and they were simply outstanding, not a single moan. Staff are very friendly and the pod we had outside was great. All in all a fantastic visit. Could not recommend more.

Average food, but efficient service. very small Meze portions at high prices . Gordon Ramsay would be proud! For example , meatballs -2 small balls for £6. Apparently they are home made hence they're expensive. Vine leaves, two very small and thin parcels ,again £5. Glass of wine £6.50. nothing is authentic and most taste as though they are bought and reheated. An expensive night out. Deserts all at £6.50 and small portions. Picture of Lidl style baklava with a small scoop of budget ice cream attached. I appreciate that operating costs are high , but they are fleecing customers using the excuse of high costs. Nothing tasted authentic Greek. Shame, used to be so much better. However , the place was busy despite the prices, so owners must be very happy .

Always a great meal with friendly service

Can not say anything bad about this restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit

Not impressed with table service - inattentive waitress and waiter who popped over once . Food was ok but portion rather small. Decent Greek beer but pricey. They make a big deal of celebrating someone’s birthday as if this is kind of wild and whacky. There are definitely better places to eat in Gorleston - for example - the fabulous Fig on the sea front - better atmosphere - great food and fantastic environment

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Olive Garden. The restaurant is tastefully decorated. The food is tasty and the service is excellent. The evening could not have been improved upon. Will definitely go again and recommend it whole heartedly.

Food was good and people friendly with great service

I am afraid to say my food last night, I can only say what is disgusting. My partner starter was served up on the saucer and was burnt and subsequently removed from the Bill. My starter was supposed to be served on toasted bread. Instead, it was a slice of bread with seafood on it and sauce Poured all over it, so the bread is gone soggy and was impossible to eat. I was told by the waiter this was normal. My moussaka was not made correctly with aubergine and had very little Lamb mints in it. I was very sad because I’ve been to the restaurant many times before and the food is always been good. Mr Lucas senior a past friend of mine would never have let that Happened?

Food was fantastic. Everything was fresh and hot. Had the early menu which is brilliant value. Visited a few weeks ago, it was so good we wanted to go back.

This is the 2nd time recently we have been to the early bird menu 3 courses for £15.00, this time we had 3 different courses to last time each and once again excellent good portions( just about beat me and I can eat) excellent quality and superb value for money, plus it was my birthday, compared to a carvery or all you can eat buffet somewhere no comparison to this,all I can say is roll on the next we go

We went on a set menu night. Several dishes available to sample for each savoury course. Efficient attendant waiters. Good price for the amount and variety of food we had. Very enjoyable experience

Wonderful food and dining environment. Varied Greek inspired menu.

Bad acoustics mean the music can't be heard, and the noise from other diners voices echoes around the room. Not the place for a romantic meal

What a let down. Spanakoipta tasted of stale fish oil. It was hard to cut through as well. My main chicken meal over "dinged" in the microwave. Hard to cut through. Hard and tough around the edges. Roasted veg ok though. No atmosphere. Couldn't hear the background music over loud voices. Won't return.

We decided to use The Olive Garden for our anniversary dinner and were not disappointed. Our dinner was delivered on time by a very friendly driver. The steak was cooked perfectly and the accompanying onions, tomatoes and mushrooms were delicious. The peppercorn sauce was also perfect. The chips were very tasty but we really didn’t need them as the steak was enough! It was the first time we had ordered a meal from the OG but after tonight’s experience it won’t be the last. Thank you for a wonderful dinner x

Great menu very knowledgeable staff and consistently good food

Food is well suited to those needing something for everyone, including the less adventurous. Ordered a gyros which was nicely cooked, particularly the chicken which captured a bit of flavour from grilling - presumably over coals, the flatbread too. Fries were crisp and added some indulgence to the meal, however something more authentically Greek would have been a better accompaniment. Overall the main dish was a decent size, however the falafel starters were a bit measly and lacking in flavour and texture, considering the cost. Ribs and mixed grill dishes were costlier, but portions were bordering on huge, with plates stacked high. Friends were pretty much as satisfied as stuffed by the end of the meal. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, although maybe a bit plain and could do more to catch a Greek/Mediterranean vibe. Equally, although there is a good range of greek/Mediterranean starters, the mains veer into Italian and grill territory, and feel less adventurous. The menu too is presented pretty plainly. Although the food is nice and plentiful, there is a slightly plain effect to everything. The bar on the other hand looks well stocked, especially with spirits. It might be that it apys to spend a bit more on drinks to inject some life into everything, and possibly the Olive Garden is an ideal place to stop and line the stomach before heading out of an evening. In general it seems that it's best suited to those needing somewhere that offers some familiar creature comforts alongside some alternative dishes. Despite billing itself as a Mediterranean restaurant, that side of the menu isn't amazing, but it's likely there's something for everyone.

We went to the early bird menu and it's been a few years since we were last there(pre COVID) we opted to sit outside in our own little shed type table, with the sun shining we had the 3 course for £15, we both said this was one of the best meals we have had in a long time we had completely different meals to each other, the quality, quantity, service was spot on will definitely be going again and would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere local and different

What a lovely find!! We're here in Suffolk for a few days away, visiting from Kent, just came across this fabulous restaurant by chance. Had a beautiful tasty delicious mixed meze. Well done Olive Garden, we'll remember you as the best meal we had in Suffolk 😀

Went here because of the gluten free options. Food was nice. Nice and clean and good service. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is down to the ambience. The atmosphere and decor wasn’t very Greek and not as friendly as other Greek restaurants I’ve been to. They didn’t do meze after 5pm which was a shame.

Wow what a bargain ,early dinner menu ,3 courses for £15 ,really lovely food ,good portions ,great service and staff ,lovely atmosphere ,Tuesday to Thursday only so make the most of it ,cant wait to go back .

My partner booked this to celebrate my birthday, 4 couples , we all had starters , mains and desserts , and all were excellent. My skate was sublime. The rose wine was really good . Excellent atmosphere, food, drink and service.

A chance find. We had the early grazer maze menu and loved it. So many authentic Greek flavours. Stifado med veg and Lebanese potatoes were especially good. Friendly service, nice and warm on a cold day. A real find. And it was all reasonably priced. Lucky Gorlston!!!

Good time, good food and good staff

Been to the Olive garden before and it was delicious. Today was no different. We had their early special which was 3 courses for £15 per head. I had the hummus for starter and then the chicken gyros sandwich for main, and raspberry sorbet for dessert. All of it was quick coming out and nicely presented. It was delicious and very good for the value of it, the portions were generous and we left feeling very full up! We'll be returning, we love it here.

Went in for lunch, hence 4 🌟 for atmosphere, but can imagine it might be pretty cool in the evening. Food was exactly right and really good service. Going again as soon as possible. Reasonably priced as well for the quality we got. Even the house wine was pretty good too.

Had a really brilliant meal, staff were lovely, food was brilliant will definitely be returning 😋

We had a lovely lunch we decided on the early graze menu each plus added a few bits. Lovely flavours, nice size portions for tasters. Found staff friendly and nice decor. We will go back as made a change, price was OK worked out £21.50 per head with a soft drink. Car park opposite was great.

Always love the food when I've been. Last 2 times I've shared the meze. Highly recommend. The Greek dessert was so delicious 😋

Me and the wife has just got left the olive garden and its the 1st time we have had to cancel our mains cause the starters was absolutely disgusting. The ricota and spinich roll tasted like scrambled eggs, the prawns we chewed for 5 mins(so over cooked and the vine leaves wrapped in pork and rice tasted like perfume. Never goin back again and its turned us off tryin similar restaurants.

me and my bf johnny went here he really loved the breadsticks 🍕🍕🍕🥖🥖🥖🥖🍑🍑🍑☺️☺️☺️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🍝🍝🍝😻😻😻😻

One of the best meals out had in long time great food fantastic staff & a lovely atmosphere definitely returning with family

will definitely return again soon.The choice of the "SALTED COD CROQUET" starter - so tasty. was in party of 4 everyone would return again .

Welcomed into a lovely warm restaurant, beautiful decor, attentive service. The staff took time to explain the menu, drinks order was accompanied by delicious homemade bread and olive oil. The meal was beautifully seasoned, generous portion and cooked to perfection. For the standard of food the price was very reasonable. Will definitely be coming back.

Excellent service and a very good range of gluten-free food

As lovely as ever great food fantastic service

Food is good but it’s so FAR A WAY from GREEK cuisine, that’s why I will give you 3 stars.

It was my first time here and must say the ambience is quite welcoming. The food quality is quite good. Staff was friendly and polite. Could say this is one of the best in the area. Would definitely return

Greek style food. Tasty and affordable

Warm welcome, comfortable seats. Wine served by the lovely Elly. December menu made a nice change, well presented, tasty food. Lovely atmosphere, already booked for January.

Amazing !! Went for my 60th with family, food was excellent, atmosphere great, staff above and beyond, thank you to everyone 😊 xx

Have been a few times with mixed experiences. Mostly good quality food and good service. I don't think i would return unless someone invited me. Went for my sisters birthday (large party of guests) one year and she was so dissapointed she was brought to tears which has of course has affected my judgement on this place, but other times have been great.

Really looking forward to eating here but sadly won't be going back. Had halloumi starter which was just 2 slices of cheese on a board with nothing else with it. Needed a little garnish and slice of lemon even some olives to justify £4.50 charge....

Having visited the Olive Garden several times over the years, I have never been disappointed, so was really looking forward to a Christmas lunch with my girlfriends. Sadly, lunch today was very disappointing for me though both my friends thoroughly enjoyed theirs. I chose the...

Great place for a lovely meal not bad prices and great service. Would recommend to book a table here.

Excellent food! But will try to avoid a leaving party, noisy kid and a woman with the biggest ego in the world!!! Otherwise, brilliant!

Superb meal, great service, thoroughly recommended. Good value for money and decent size portions too

Immaculate in all aspects. Well done all staff at Olive Garden.

Very friendly staff. Fantastic food, great value for money.

Excellent food, professional service

Kalamari starter, chicken risotto main. Booked one of the outside booths. Absolutely top notch food. Great service throughout (from booking until leaving)

Lovely friendly atmosphere, staff are very attentive. The food here is delicious, prices are very good too

Great setting, wonderful choices and Georgia was brilliant, accomodating and super knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. There are various options for gluten/lactose and FODMAP requirements. Would definitely recommend the skate wing!

This is a lovely restaurant. The food is amazing and reasonably priced - we were all stuffed by the time we finished. Most of us chose the meze dishes - 3 small plates served with bread, house salad and either fries or potatoes. There is...

Great service and excellent food. Highly recommended if you are in the area. I will be going back soon. 🤞🏼 If you have the mixed grill make sure that you have not eaten all day. It is for people with large appetites. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Friendly, great service at a good price. It's just that Greek food is not for us

Lovely food and cocktails with friendly staff in a very nice setting. We love this restaurant and visit it wherever we can and it didn't disappoint.

Really great food and service fantastic Definitely be back sometime in the future

Absolutely amazing food we had the skate wing with Mediterranean veg it was gorgeous.

It was my wife's birthday 1st time we have been to the olive garden won't be last the food was fantastic the service was excellent if you are going to gorleston you must try it

Very swift and attentive service. Great value for money. The children loved their ribs - cooked to perfection

Food was good , the biggest problem is the way you are rushed to choose , eat and get out . Constant hovering of staff , removing your glass as soon as you finish , plates taken as soon as you lay your cutlery down...

Brilliant menu great cocktails staff couldn’t do anymore Food second to none would recommend for a great night out best meal we’ve had for along long time Well done many thanks jim walker

Lovely Meal, the staff were helpful. X

Very good Cypriot Greek restaurant in the centre of Gorleston. There is often parking in the street close to the restaurant. If not there is a car park almost opposite the restaurant which I am told is free after 16:30. We were a party of nine and the restaurant coped admirably. The staff were all friendly and efficient, the food delivered promptly and nice and hot. We all agreed that the food was delicious. One minor point, the starters are quite variable in size. I had the Souvlaki which was quite 'bijou'. My wife had the Calamari which was twice the size and others had the ribs which were larger still. Overall though, an excellent experience and if we lived closer I think we would be regulars.
