First time and won’t be the last amazing fresh food! Fantastic service,’lovely atmosphere, family friendly.

Myself and family and friends came thurs 13th march.after funeral 14 of us and staff seated us altogether which was great food top notch also drinks food came together we ordered few starters to share so we all could try abit of everything it was halal.which.made it even better would recommend and will be back.soon

First time visit. 9 of us, we clearly were there for a family birthday celebration having brought two home baked cakes for our two 20 something kids..No effort to really show appreciation for choosing their venue. Very functional service. Broschetta poor, excessive rocket leaves covered little underneath.. Moussaka ok. Atmosphere quiet good.

Excellent food and service at Olive and Thyme. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and served quickly. Lovely ambiance, highly recommend

Went this afternoon. The food was excellent. We where in a large party and everything was spot-on, the staff where so good. Lovely to see a proper family run restaurant.

My husband celebrated his 70th birthday with 20guests this afternoon. The staff could not have been anymore helpful or professional. The food was plentiful and very tasty. Everyone enjoyed everything about the afternoon. Thankyou

Really average, generic Mediterranean. The Greek salad was not a Greek salad at all. Dominated by limp and watery mixed salad leaves out of a bag - even included the tiny scraps of sweetcorn and grated carrot. It had a stingy four olives, hardly any cucumber, not very fresh tomatoes, and no red onion or oregano. The dressing was a sweet and sticky balsamic glaze. Added chicken very dry. Decor and amosphere nice enough but quite old fashioned, and the heating was cranked up to 11. Redeeming features: nice service staff, tasty lavas bread and tzatziki.

Had a lovely evening at olive and thyme, the food was amazing and the whole team were lovely! The interior is gorgeous too! Highly recommend to anyone.

Me and my family would like to say a Special thank you to all of Olive and Thymes team for working closely with us t arrange an amazing 50th birthday celebration for my Big sisters at your restaurant. Olive anf Thymes is my sisters favourite restaurant so she wanted her Special day to be held with you all. Thank you for setting out the tables for us and supporting us with the extra personalised trimming we wanted to make like balloons, serviettes and sweets. We appreciate the extra time you reserved for us to stay longer that was so kind of you. We couldn't have done it without all of your incredible planning from our booking right the way through to the the end of our event. We had a warm welcome from you all, very high standard of professionalism, excellent communication and all our guest loved the venue and the food was delicious. Excellent service on food by your staff. All the food was well presented and all our guest gave excellent compliments on all the dishes tasted amazing and high quality. I highly recommend booking Olive and Thymes for all special event. There was large variety of food choices on the menu, large portions sizes and value for money. Good size restaurant housed our party of 30 guests. My Sister loved her day. Thank you all so much and look forward to joining you again xx

Authentic food and atmosphere to match.

Just a lovely experience in every way!

Excellent meal, great service. Would recommend - Bosh

Absolutely gorgeous meal! Can’t wait to return! Thank you!

Food took quite a while to arrive but was very nice 👍

We had dinner as a group of friends and everything was great! Service was on point, everyone was so attentive and the food was authentic Turkish so it tasted great (coming from a Turkish person)! Highly reccomend their lahmacun and lentil soup! Good for special occasions! A little side note, their bathroom is also spotless which means their kitchen probably meets and even exceeds hygenic expectations! Keep it up guys and thank you!

Visitas por primera vez. El personal era atento y no intrusivo. La comida llegó rápidamente y era muy sabroso. Teníamos plato vegetariano para empezar y Risotto y Cordero Sizzerler para nuestra red, bañado con una botella encantadora de Sauvignon Blanc. ¡Sin duda volveré a visitar!

Loved the food, I had the seabass fillets it came 2x plus boiled potatoes, green beans and chips. My partner had the mixed grill meats of chicken, lamb chops and shish kebab, cames with rice, salad and chips. He said the meat was well done and seasoned, absolutely loves it. Staff was very attentive, caring, interactive and professional. Defoo will came back. Place was lovely, moden decorated with mirrors, gray and emeralds, flowers and lovely decorations like painting, also flowers on the ceiling. Price wise was very affordable, ate well no space for deserts 😂😂 . Overall 5 stars for me . Most places in manchester absolutely dreadful, expensive, bad quality food, place not all a that and staff not the best 🤷🏽‍♀️. Recommend 100%

Absolutely loved this place! The food was top-notch—so fresh and full of flavour. You can really tell they care about the ingredients. The staff were lovely too, really friendly and made us feel welcome. The whole vibe of the place was just spot on—cosy but not too fancy, perfect for a nice meal out. Definitely coming back!

Very good service, the food was hot and tasty, nice relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere. Comprehensive menu with plenty of choice for gluten free. Very friendly staff. Will be back 😀

Celebrating my friend’s 70th birthday- fabulous cocktails, food, service and ambience. Thank you!

Excellent food, excellent hospitality. Everyone should try it. Excellent value. Good for spending time with friends or a special night out. Staff very pleasant.

Excellent food served by very courteous people. Starter was very good Main course was again very good Tiramisu was lovely Also really good value. Best food I've had in Chorlton.

I have been here quite a fews times now and it has always been a good experience with delicious food

The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently amazing, never had any complaints and been a lot. We drive 40 minutes to come here as it’s our favourite restaurant.

Love this place, I'm sorry I haven't been in here before. Food delicious, staff extremely professional. Menu options for everyone.

Jose is amazing. Great customer service. Banging food, lovely chill playlist. We're switching from Demtris to Olive & Thyme!!

Just wonderful. Amazing food, lovely atmosphere. Actually my favourite place to eat!

Absolutely incredible food and service Highly recommend Parking is a bit difficult especially for accessibility we had to park on a side street which was residential.

The food and service was fantastic as always! Staff are very nice and accommodating and food is always great! Highly recommend!!

Shared an evening with friends here, top marks all round. Service brilliant, food couldn't complain, would definitely recommend without any hesitation. Worked out about £30 a head including a bottle of wine and other drink. Very steady trade, easy to see why.

Amazing food, great service!! I love this restaurant ❤️

Amazing food excellent service 5-stars

My daughter and I had a great Sunday night supper here. The menu was extensive for vegetarians and the service was great. The food was tasty and really fresh ingredients had been used. Will be back for sure

Amazing atmosphere, excellent customer service, beautiful decor and delicious food. Food is above standard, freshly cooked with an abundance of combined ingredients that create magic on the plate. Would defo recommend 👌

So yummy! Such a nice atmosphere & great service :)

Great night with family. Food was good. Worth a try.

Always top tier food fresh and comes quickly, staff cant do enough for you.

Very nice, tasty food and great service- highly recommended!!

Not many places can make a Baba ghanoush properly but Olive and Thyme make the best. It's our fave restaurant, food, service, atmosphere all excellent. Only minor comment would be to serve the baklava warm, otherwise ***** from us.

What a great place. Really stands out amongst all the other options for restaurants in Chorlton.

Food is excellent, staff are wonderful & the restaurant is beautiful. Always enjoy our meal here.

Came with the family for a birthday meal. Excellent food, prompt service and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Nuestra primera visita a Oliva y Tomillo fue muy agradable. Éramos 5 teniendo una noche de "ponerse al día". El restaurante es muy acogedor, con una decoración elegante y acogedora. El personal era muy amable y atento, pero no intrusivo. Toda la comida fue servida rápidamente y caliente! y todos los platos estaban deliciosos. Mi Moussaka fue el mejor que he tenido. Sin duda recomendaría y no puedo esperar para ir de nuevo.

Absolutely delicious authentic food. Really lovely service. Conservatory is really cute for lunch!

Olive is the place where I come with my family to eat, drink tea, and feel at home. It’s the only restaurant in Manchester that serves the highest quality food and offers excellent service. I wish you continued success!

Second time here, absolutely lovely food and staff

Food was very nice and the staff were polite, would definitely come again.

Vine aquí a almorzar. Tenía el mezze vegetariano que era delicioso. Es bueno sentarse en la ventana y ver el mundo pasar. Recomendar

Great restaurant attentive staff, tasty food and big portions. Thank you.

This is one of the best Turkish restaurant in Manchester, would highly recommend!

Delicious food, big portions and friendly service.

My favourite restaurant! Great food and lovely atmosphere

Always a great experience. Mezze platter for starter and chicken sizzler for main are our goto options but everything we’ve had was great. Service is always great as the staff are friendly and helpful. Crucially the food comes quickly. Pricing is very reasonable too. Parking can be a bit tricky but usually ok. Overall 5 stars

Lovey relaxed ambience Very polite sever Would highly recommend

Great food and service! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food! :)

Amazing food and staff , Dervish is incredible , he is an amazing waiter

Came for lunch today and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely food and gorgeous atmosphere.. can’t wait to come back!

With my parents for my 21st birthday great food good vibes and good staff

We had an amazing dinner at the best Turkish restaurant in Manchester! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked dishes. Everything we tried was exceptional. The service was equally impressive. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed. Their warm Turkish hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-quality Turkish dining experience in Manchester, Olive & Thyme is a must-visit. We will definitely be coming back!

Brought my friend here, it was her first time. We ordered starters of falafel, hummus & olives. Main course was grilled lamp chops & lamb shank was delicious! The meat fell off the bone, generous portions, everything was gorgeous! Staff were friendly & attentive & if you’ve been here before, we’d highly recommend it. Forgot to mention, we had a mojito local & alcoholic iced tea. Cannot wait to return!

The place is very cozy and lovely. There are the heating lamps in the terrace, so you can enjoy sitting there. Food is amazing and will fit everyone’s taste. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The flavors we miss. Quality and careful. If you're nearby, be sure to stop by.

Great Turkish tastes, friendly speedy service....

absolutely lovely food and atmosphere thank you vegetarian pizza was above and beyond

Great place great value for money👍🏻

We’ve been coming to O & T for about 3 years now. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff are very personable, warm and professional, and the atmosphere outside in the heated terrace where we mostly sit is cozy and beautiful. Overall fantastic!!!

First time at this restaurant. Great menu, lots of choice and the meal was perfect, in a lovely ambience

Great food, chilled, lovely environment and excellent service.

We had a lovely time here! I recommend it a 100%!

We had a beautiful meal here on Christmas Eve. The food was incredibly tasty, and the staff all so friendly. We'll be back for sure.

I have been here 2 times, both time was fantastic. Highly recommend

Really wonderful evening. Service and food both brilliant - we enjoyed our evening immensely.

Lamb shish and lamb chops were delicious. Mezze platter also had a nice variety. Very friendly staff and a cozy environment. Highly recommended.

What an excellent place! We go there every year with party of 10 for my dad's birthday and we always leave with big smile on our faces :). Staff there are just so attentive and polite, easy going and very caring. Food is just to die for! Everything and I mean everything we tried there was top level! Mix grill platters just delicious and the quality outstanding! The place is beautifully decorated and always busy with customers, no surprise there. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a quality time and not be disappointed. Top class! Well done team 👏

Very friendly staff, amazing food however a little expensive.

Great Mediterranean restaurant with a limited but excellent menu. It's obviously a family run place and the family are friendly and welcoming. The basis of the food is Turkish with recipes from other countries. Highly recommend it given the food, service and pleasant decor.

Just had lunch here, was a really nice place. The staff were very kind and helpful, the food came quickly and was very nice too. I was a bit gutted as my friend got a mixed grill which trumped my chicken and avocado. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Gente amable y comida encantadora. Teníamos los hígados de pollo (el mejor que he probado) , cordero tierno chisporroteante, y plato de comida de mar (con lubina encantadora).

The food wasn't really good and expensive for portion.

One of our favorite places to get treated... Very nice and polite staff, specifically the Iranian ones (because I'm from Iran too 😋).

Visited first time, popped in for a late lunch as was in the area. Stunning cosy place, service and food was brilliant - already planning another trip!
