Olive Garden Turkish Mediterranean Cuisine in Birmingham

I have been here many times and it never disappoints. My favourite restaurant. Food is delicious and service is fantastic. I definitely recommend a visit

Wonderful evening at the olive garden... Really lovely meal nice friendly atmosphere as well. We are very lucky to have this place so close If you've not been give it a try, these places need support or we'll lose them

First visit to a Turkish restaurant in the Uk since holidaying out there. Was not disappointed with the food. Tasty lahmacun followed by lamb & chicken kebab dishes. Very attentive service & would thoroughly recommend.

An excellent meal with great service. Our second visit and just as good. A Turkish restaurant with a menu unless you know Turkish food you would not recognise. There is plenty of choice and the staff were very helpful in explaining the menu and what was in each dish. The service was prompt friendly and professional. The food was well presented and generous portions. Overall an excellent restaurant.

Pleasant venue husband enjoyed his meal but mine was disappointing lamb kleftiko wasn’t authentic at all and was more of a stew, really salty and I couldn’t eat it. In my opinion the feta was cheap shop brought Greek cheese not feta as it wasn’t creamy or crumbly. The potatoes were just salad potatoes whereas normally they are almost roasted in the juice of the lamb. No seasoning or lemon/olive oil taste. I could do better myself and have done!

Excellent food in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The waitress that served us was very professional. She looked after us very well.

First visit last week with family for dinner. Great selection of dishes, well presented and delicious. Staff very attentive and friendly. Had the sharing platter plus a couple of other dishes and sides between us. Will definitely return.

Lovely restaurant. Friendly but more importantly attentive staff. Food was delicious, hot in temperature and nicely presented. Very generous portions and the Turkish Delight at the end of the meal is the best I’ve ever tasted. We will definitely return.

Met up with some friends at the restaurant. Had never been before, and went late afternoon. Staff were happy, attentive and helpful throughout our visit. The food was divine, and based on this experience, I will definitely plan to go again.

We’ve been trying to get here for ages and finally did last night. Delicious food, nice ambience, and great service. Already looking forward to our next visit

Restaurant is presented beautifully. Staff were so attentive and we were made to feel special throughout the evening. Food was delicious and presented lovely. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

We received very good service.The food is amazing,fresh and good size portions.Many thanks Highly recommend them!

Amazing food Very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us Great ambience Platter for 2 is delicious Thank you

I do not normally write reviews publicly online but, after giving our experience more thought, I felt the need to. We went as a family and my dad and I ordered the mix grill to share. As part of the mixed grill we had ribs and when I cut them open I found them to be undercooked on the inside. That’s fine, it was a mistake by them and I politely asked them to cook them through… A while later we were sent two chargrilled bones with no meat on them and slits through the gristle to check they were cooked. I can only take away that it was some strange reaction by the chef to our polite request - and it was genuinely polite. It was extremely odd and the more I think about it, deeply offensive. The rest of the meal and service was lovely but it has completely put me off going back and a massive shame to what was a good evening. Why we should have received that treatment I don’t know. Take this review as you must but I’m not sure I can recommend this place to families. Thanks, J

Great friendly service, complimentary bread, very extensive menu, food was fantastic. First time here and we'll definitely be back.

Have been a number of times & food is always great & staff friendly. Visited on the bank holiday & again had a great meal, lovely touch to put birthday candles on my baklava!

The restaurant is lovely, staff are attentive and knowledgeable about all dishes which was great as 2 of our party hadn't tried Turkish food before. The food was well presented and amazing. Already recommended this place to friends and family. 😊

We have had wonderful takeaways from here and thought we'd try eating in on the lunchtime special. Our first visit was in January with our son and the second today as a couple. Both times the food and service could not be faulted. Both times...

Our third visit to Olive Garden,this time for a family celebration,food and service as on our previous visits was excellant in every way. Thanks guys looking forward to our next visit.

Fantastic food, excellent quality and very well presented. Very attentive service and offered to box up the surplus BBQ meat that due to the generous portions we were unable to eat. Coming back for a family birthday later this month

My second visit and it was just a good as the first time. Set menu shared between the two of us was utterly beautiful. Warm and relaxed inside. Paired with attentive and courteous staff. Will return again. Highly recommended

We were seven for dinner- some vegetarian, others not -so we went for the monkfish (superb), falafels, lamb, moussaka, aubergines, halloumi and chicken for mains, preceded by a varied mezze selection as starters. Food was excellent in taste and presentation -not all hot meals were...

The food was so delicious, we had set menu and a bottle of Turkish red wine, everything was so good ! Very friendly and helpful staff , we can’t wait to go back soon !

I dont usually leave reviews, however I feel a review is just. Great food, from the starters to the desert. The lamb ribs were a personal highlight and the home made chilli is incredible. Ismail was on hand for anything we asked for, great service....

My friend and I popped in for a simple evening meal .. the food was wonderful but the service was even better . Really happy to discover this lovely place on my doorstep . Will definitely be here again soon .

Fantastic food every time, lovely atmosphere professional staff and fantastic Turkish beer. Inside and outside dining in a clean and comfortable setting

What a find! We had the sharing starter platter and normally there is one starter that you feel indifferent about -not here. Ate them all with relish! Fresh and tasty. Had a varied choice for vegetarians, I opted for the vege moussaka - lovely. Smooth...

Fantastic little gem, fresh home cooked food great wine and beer and typical excellent Turkish service, lovely outside planted area to eat and a very nice inside area for the colder days.

Absolutely loved the food. Our first time eating Turkish food I think and really enjoyed it. The service was excellent - attentive but not too much so and very helpful. Will be on our definitely visit list when we’re in the area again.

We accidentally found out about this place because we wanted some more normal food amidst a sea of fast food, pizzas, burgers and pastries. I have no words to describe the food, whatever I say will be small, reaching the desserts ... here we were...

We really enjoyed our evening at this restaurant. The food is superior, the service with a smile, good selection of wines, lots of barbecue options for meat lovers, but lots of delicious things for non-meat-eaters such as myself. The calamari and feta-spinach pastry, and halloumi...

Wonderful food, and great customer service friendly staff . Will definitely be returning again soon. Would highly recommend

First time ordering from here. Fantastic food and unbelievable value. Definitely my new favourite. Thank you!!

In a year when a trip to Turkey was not on the cards and after six months of not visiting a restaurant due to being anxious of mixing. It was delightful to visit the Olive Garden. The welcome and their attention to Covid guidelines made...

We went to celebrate a friends 50th birthday. We were greeted by a lovely waiter opening the door and I thought this was a good sign but he then said oh don’t worry about wearing masks. It is the regulations now that unless seated you...

We found this restaurant completely by chance whilst away for my other half’s birthday! Saw a 50% off offer on here via the fork! Thought we’d take advantage! Arrived to a quaint building pushed back from other places (very cute) and was greeted with a...

The restaurant accommodated our two tables so we could eat with Grandparents socially distanced. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. The best baklava we ever tasted too!

First time visiting this restaurant and I would highly recommend. The food was fantastic and service on a whole was good. Give it a try!

My lovely friend suggested we visit for a late lunch/early dinner 'cos she'd got her 'Meercat' handy. Only opened November 2019 then hit by the 'Virus' early 2020, so not an easy time for them. At 3 pm 23/9/20, we were the only diners and...

First time at this restaurant and really enjoyed it. Nicely decorated and a friendly welcome from staff. We went for the set menu of bread, olives and memes starter, which included kebab bites, tzaziki, falafel, halloumi and houmus, which was very good indeed. The main...

Staff are professional and helpful, service is decent, food always excellent. We have been sitting outside due to Covid and have felt very comfortable. The £18.99 deal is great

we ordered 4 off lahmacun, baklava and kisir. Everthing was awful. the dough was too thick, the meat was very little, kisir was too dry. They need to change their chef...

We went to the olive garden last night for a meal to celebrate my hubbys 60th Birthday. It was our first visit (but will definitely not be our last) and we were treated like a king and queen, amazing staff, so helpful, polite, knowledgeable, nothing...

Having lived in Istanbul between 2013 and 2020 I am very familiar withTurkish food and happy to report the Olive Garden did not disappoint. We chose the set menu as it provided a selection of hot and cold starters and a traditional meat-heavy main course....

Visited on Friday evening as a party of four. In fairness the food was excellent. Service ok. Main concern is that there was zero repeat ZERO compliance with social distancing restrictions etc. Our table was bumping up against the group behind us. There was no...

So we ordered the TAVUK SAUTE chicken dish with some fries and rice. The chicken was very basic and seemed under cooked, lack of taste, very bland. The fries seemed liked they'd just been warmed up in the microwave. They ere not freshly made, some...

A lovely place and the staff were friendly and efficient. Cold meze starter was lovely. I was confused by the main, Ali Na Zik lamb as it was just lamb and yoghurt and couldn’t see Or taste any peppers or aubergine so lacked flavour making...

Food turned up 40 mins late - driver didn’t have restaurant number - no apology - spoke to restaurant didn’t care

Lovely meal, it was nice to try something different. We went on the Eat out to help out, which was excellent value! It was quite cramped inside but everything seemed clean. The mixed cold meze was good ( lots of sauces etc) but we had...

Visited Olive Garden for my moms birthday and such amazing food and service. The staff couldn’t not do enough for us. Can’t wait to visit again highly recommend

Stumbled across this place looking for a takeaway Turkish pizza, and so glad we did. Delicious food, great quality, available quickly. Will be back and would highly recommend.
