Olive & Thyme in Manchester

Once again an excellent meal. Fantastic grilled meats and a flatbread to die for . Very polite and helpful staff. My family had a great night out.

One of our favorite places to get treated... Very nice and polite staff. this time we had lamb chop and lamb sizzler

We come here all the time and love it so much! Hummus starter is an absolute must, all the mains are delicious and the baklavas for dessert hit the spot every time. Gorgeous atmosphere and interiors.

We had a great evening at Olive and Thyme, party of 12 and the service was excellent. Very friendly staff and really quick delivery of the food and drinks. Staff were very accommodating for children and the quality of the food was so good. Perfect setting for a family meal or a date night. Would highly recommend and will be back again.

The staff are welcoming, and friendly. We had a lovely meal. Definitely will come again 😊

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back !

Incredible service, incredible food 🙌 Thank you!

Really enjoyed a weekday dinner here with a friend. We had starters, mains and dessert, and all courses were well cooked. The portion sizes were ample but not huge. I certainly enjoyed my mixed grill. The price was very reasonable given the location and quality. Service was great - the team are friendly, efficient and attentive. Generally, the restaurant is well presented, had pleasant decor and well located. Parking may be a bit of an issue if driving in.

Friendly staff and delicious food ☺️

Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This review is only based on the online booking system they had taken £140 from uk account when I was trying to book a table of 14 people. It is the most backwards system where you have to pay for your deposits request even tough the table is not available and doesn’t show you what is available and you have to secure another deposit! It has taken me 9 days to chase my £140 deposit and still no luck. I won’t be using this restaurant again based on this experience and got told it was just how it is basically and is a trip advisor issue

food - great and super tasteful and well cooked. we ordered some appetisers, the mixed grill and the mixed seafood grill/plate. it was realy good and we filled ourselves too much for dessert. that saffron rice was so good. service - good but can be sorta slow? the food came pretty quick and we didnt have to wait too long. drinks arrived after appetisers which was a little strange but oh wells. no complaints about the staff tho. atmosphere - really nice and pretty. they have a sort of balcony seating which is decorated beautifully. however there was a big group so the place was a little noisy but no fault of the restaurant. overall, really great place and food was amazing. will return again

food was incredible, had the lamb sizzler and it was delicious - service was very efficient and friendly - pints very reasonably priced too - will be returning :) Thankyou!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Just a lovely experience in every way!

Authentic food and atmosphere to match.

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

Excellent meal, great service. Would recommend - Bosh

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%

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Amazing food excellent service 5-stars

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

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 👌

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Second time here, absolutely lovely food and staff

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!

Excellent service and the food was very authentic. Will definitely be returning!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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