Platform 5 Oxford in Oxford

The Food was absolutely mind blowing. It was rich in flavours and they have the best Garlic sauce worldwide. The costumer service is second to none. Unbelievable Staff. Will definitely come back for another Meal. Top Shelf!!!!!

Ashraf was awesome! What a guy! Breakfast was delicious! Very clean and nice atmosphere. Perfect if you have travelled in the train.

Ashraf served us and despite our shocking indecision, he was lovely and was waiting for us to actually make a decision. Despite something not being on the menu, he said he could do it anyway. Food arrived fast and was hot and delicious. Thank you!!

I work down the road fron the Olive branch and the owner was kind enough to treat me to a lamb dish, it was absolutely delicious! Fhe young lady I collected it from was very polite and lovely as well! 100% would recommend.

Did not try as a restaurant but based on the cafe experience I would be afraid to put that to the test. On the day of our visit they seemed very under pressure. I think they did a respectable job in the circumstances but unfortunately it didn’t help to promote atmosphere or quality of service. They needed at least one more member of staff. We had to wait a long time to pay. Besides that it was ok. It’s not bad by any means, but by far not the best for locals in Oxford, unless you happen to be by the station and desperate for convenience. Is it better than a cafe directly in a train station? Yes. Is it better than most cafes close to train stations? Probably. Is it a standout cafe in Oxford that you should otherwise seek out? Probably not. I imagine there’s a lot of traffic from tourists who don’t know better in close vicinity to the train station.

Excellent breakfast and Swift service. Decent pot of tea and lovely eggs benedict. Magic waitress taking care of all of us.

Delicious breakfast - pancakes with Nutella. And leaf tea. Great experience. Quick service. Pricey but nice. And a loo on-site

Came here with my mum, we thought the food was delicious, a gorgeous mix of Turkish and Lebanese flavours, very friendly and helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere

Excellent food across all meals but I especially want to celebrate the best restaurant made falafels, pickles and salad accompaniment. Over from Ireland visiting Oxford and aim to be back when next in town

Great little restaurant with superb food and really friendly service. The baba ganouche is delicious and we had lots of little maze dishes for a very reasonable price.

Great place to catch up with a friend over shared tapas/meze. Food was delicious. as was my coffee. Atmosphere was a lovely Saturday quiet bustle with chilled music in the back, staff were friendly and attentive without being in the way or over the top. A great find, we will be back!

At Olive Branch Cafe, the warmth of Lumi’s welcoming smile and the culinary expertise of Chef Sad create an unforgettable dining experience. Opting for the chicken wrap was a stellar choice; it was generously filled with tender chicken and flavorful sauces. Amidst the cozy ambiance, every moment was a delight, making Olive Branch Cafe a must-visit for those craving delicious food and genuine hospitality.

It’s very hard to find a place to be welcoming when you have 2 energetic children with you ,but today the staff from The Olive Branch Cafe ,Oxford had to manage 4 children and 1 baby 😂. The staff been very friendly and helpful when they saw us me and my friend with our children. The food and our drinks came very fast ,and the portions very generous so our children been very happy and feed by a lovely and delicious food. The staff been so kind and generous that gave us from the house some pancakes.🥞 (so obvious our children where over the moon) . Thank you so much for making us so welcome and for having patience with us and our children. This location is perfect for family ,but also if you wanna just read or just enjoy a coffee in the center of Oxford.

What a perfect spot for a pre-train breakfast! It was friendly and quick, and completely delicious. Great value for money.

Very hospitable staff. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. For Oxford the price is extremely reasonable and portion sizes are large. A lovely atmosphere right next to the station and excellent location for the city centre.

This is the 2nd time I visited this place and it is a great place to have dinner and business meeting. We had lamb tagine, meatball tagine and lamb kofta and the food was amazing. It was very reasonably priced and location was great. Definitely recommended.

Great mediterranean-styled food. Service was good and the prices reasonable. Location very handy for the railway station.

We had a relaxed and enjoyable experience at The Olive Branch. The food is tasty, the portions are generous, and the prices are affordable (so many overpriced restaurants in Oxford)! The waiter was also welcoming and attentive. Plus, the cheese and jalapeños balls are delicious!

Loved the meal today and very reasonably priced, with friendly service. I come here every time I visit Oxford.

Awful experience.....staff treated badly....not impressed by the service! There are plenty of cafes in Oxford near here that trump this place.
