The Olive Branch is a Mediterranean style restaurant which has a good selection of quality dishes. However, some of the dishes are quite spicy and might not be to everyone's taste so I would recommend checking exactly what you are ordering before going ahead.

Visited today after taking a tour of Emmerdale nearby. This little restaurant is amazing, the food was beautiful, the service was superb and I was shocked in a really good way when I got the bill. Everyone in my party was really pleased with their meal and it really topped off our day. Would deffo take a trip back. Thank you

Wouldn't eat there again. Ordered the steak - asked for it rare and it came as medium to well done. It was very tough and full of gristle and therefore most of it was inedible. Explained this to the waiter who just said ok. No come back from the chef or waiter.... Others in our party either enjoyed their meal or said it was just 'ok' - hence the 2 stars given.

The Olive Branch in Alwoodley is one of our favourite restaurants. Good food, great service & on some days there’s a set price menu for 2 courses. In the summer time there’s fabulous outside seating with heaters if needed. My favourite is the Seabass & their fish cakes & falafel are great too. Over the years the menu hasn’t changed so we’ve worked our way through nearly the whole menu. We love you Ari & the Olive Branch.

Very disappointing. I was looking forward a great deal to this and found the food was not up to the standard I expected. I started with whitebait which was overcooked, followed by sirloin steak. The steak was cooked well but unfortunately was a poor cut of meat. Could have been so much better. Personal thing too is I don’t like to see a 10% service charge added to the bill.

We met up with friends in Selby, never been to eat there so we let our friends choose. As we were coming from the coast they sent us the details so we could look up the menu online. My partner - who is a bit of a foodie spent upwards of 2 hours reading and choosing ( I know I know) The menu was a nice mix, with some great vegetarian options - not ones that had been tacked on as an after thought for the Veggies among us. When we arrived we were a little early ( as you can never tell with traffic) we were made very welcome and taken to our table, where we were introduced to the specials !!! So my partner had to regig her entire meal again lol. I have to say the whole experience was loverly - the place is chilled, the ingredients fresh and well prepared, the choice is great - usually I only find one or two things I like - here I could eat my way through the menu. The service was professional and friendly and you felt that nothing was too much trouble. Safe to say we would definitely reccomend and will return - thanks for a great experience guys.

The visit as a whole was disappointing, with the starters being the best out of the restaurant's meals. They were piping hot and yummy, and deceived us into believing our main meals would be as such. Unfortunately, one of the lamb dishes was too chewy and the individual with this sad excuse of a meal asked for a pizza instead (considering it's a 'Mediterranean' restaurant, this was not good). Another with fish was saddened with the lack of flavour and another received steak that was bland as well. We opted to not have desserts as to lessen any further disappointment. Additionally, drinks took a while to arrive, and we ALWAYS had to catch a waiter's attention to get some more drinks. I will admit that there were only 2 waiters' working that evening, so perhaps we got the bad end of service (Waiter's did apologise profusely for the lamb meal, which was very kind). Altogether, it may be a hit and miss (I have dined here before and I found that experience perhaps one star better) but for a true Mediterranean experience, go somewhere more authentic.

I went there for lunch a few weeks ago. Pros: The restaurant's interior is warm and inviting. There is free parking available outside or on the street. The staff is extremely attentive. Cons: I ordered grill chicken, which was dry and flavourless. I rarely use extra salt when dining out, but I had to this time. It was supposed to be served with a 'salad' but it was more of a mixture of dry carrots, cucumber, tomato, and lettuce. The non alcoholic cocktails we had were way too sweet and not properly mixed. Be aware that a 10% service charge is automatically added to your bill (which I didn't mind this time because, as previously stated, the staff were excellent), but on the whole I believe is a bad practice. Would I go back: not really.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to The Olive Branch for my friends birthday. We went for the mixed meze special and left with a box of food to eat later on! Every single item of food was delicious and flavourful, I don’t have a single complaint. Incredibly generous portion sizes for the price and the most fantastic, friendly and welcoming service. We came from the other side of Leeds on a recommendation but will absolutely be returning!

Fishcake looked and tasted like a poor quality supermarket 'essentials' ; my shoe probably has more flavour. My fellow diners were also very disappointed in their meat which was tasteless and mostly fat/gristle. Mentioned concerns to the person seemingly in charge who mumbled a few apologies then left us to it. Particularly disappointing, as been there before and it was good enough to warrant return, but never again.

We arrived on time . The restaurant was not busy ( although I’m sure it had been earlier)We waited for our table to be prepared and then seated.We waited another 20 mins before anyone came to take a drink order , bring the menus or even acknowledge our presence . We really struggled to get the attention of a waitress. When we finally ordered and the food came , it was delicious. But unfortunately by then it was too late and our visit had been spoilt by the poor service we received. We will try it again as the food is so good , and we have received many recommendations, however the service really let it down.

Lovely sat on the covered decked area, with lots of lights and greenery around, they've done a great job creating a lovely atmosphere.

Esta fue mi primera visita a The Oliver Branch y ya estoy deseando volver. La comida era excelente y hay algunas ofertas especiales que es una atracción adicional. Como era de esperar, el restaurante estaba lleno, pero todos socialmente distanciados, por lo que se sentía seguro. Tuve la parrillada mixta que ofrecía una deliciosa selección de carnes marinadas acompañadas de una pequeña ensalada. Esto fue seguido por un meze de desierto que ofrecía una selección de 4 postres diferentes, buenas porciones, así que me sentí cómodamente satisfecho. Probé la cerveza local, que fue una agradable sorpresa: un estilo de cerveza más grande y refrescante.

Nunca antes había estado en el Olive Branch, pero tenía la intención de ir durante años, ya que es el restaurante más cercano a donde vivo.Definitivamente estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. Nuestros pedidos llegaron rápidamente y cada uno de nuestro grupo disfrutó mucho de su comida. La cocina no es algo que tenga con regularidad, pero diría que hay algo para todos.Hubo algunos contratiempos, pero nada importante. También recomendaría potencialmente modernizar algunas áreas.Como un sistema de reserva online y quizás una forma de realizar pedidos a través de una aplicación. No es el restaurante más grande por dentro, pero una aplicación realmente aceleraría las cosas y ayudaría al personal en algunas áreas.

He usado este restaurante muchas veces y normalmente estoy entusiasmado con el lugar. Muy decepcionado en una visita reciente, no hubo absolutamente ningún distanciamiento social en el lugar, el restaurante se distribuyó de la misma manera que antes del Covid 19, sin separación de mesas, sin máscaras, protectores faciales, protectores de mesa, sin seguimiento y rastreo, solo una mesa con un poco de desinfectante.Llegué aproximadamente a las 12 pm, solo otras 3 mesas estaban ocupadas y todos estábamos muy separados, pedimos nuestras bebidas, entrantes y platos principales, el restaurante comenzó a llenarse lentamente y cuando terminamos los entrantes, el lugar estaba lleno ! ! Podría haber tocado a la persona de la mesa de al lado. ¡Estaba empezando a sentirme muy inseguro y abarrotado con esa cantidad de gente! los principales estaban tardando años en salir y se notaba que habían reservado en exceso, solo había dos empleados para todas estas personas. Pedí que mi carne estuviera bien hecha, pero cuando finalmente llegó, mi pollo estaba SOLO cocido y el cordero estaba muy rojo y muy duro. Mientras tanto, la gente estaba empezando a esperar mesas cerca de la puerta y la puerta se cerró para dejar espacio para ellos. En este punto solo quería salir de allí, así que comí lo que pude sin quejarme. También me di cuenta de que debido a que habíamos estado allí un tiempo para este punto, nos estaban viendo comer y el Minuit que dejamos en el tenedor, ¡el tipo había terminado con la cuenta!Todos hemos luchado durante el bloqueo y la pandemia, pero usted tuvo y tiene ayuda del gobierno, no creo que tenga derecho a poner a la gente en riesgo al abarrotar su restaurante hasta los topes sin precauciones.¡Desafortunadamente no volveré!

¡Ni siquiera sé por dónde empezar con la experiencia de esta noche!El restaurante obviamente se había reservado demasiado, ya que estaba repleto, ¡muy poco distanciamiento social aquí! Después de esperar afuera durante 10 minutos, nos sentamos. Los pedidos recibidos y las bebidas llegaron bien. ¡De ahí en adelante fue error tras error!A los 45 minutos aún no habían llegado los titulares. Tuvimos que pedir una segunda ronda de bebidas y después de preguntar dónde estaban los entrantes, finalmente llegaron después de casi una hora. Pedimos que el plato principal de mis niños pequeños viniera al mismo tiempo que los entrantes, lo que hizo, pero 3 nuggets de pollo y 7 patatas fritas es una broma y a las 8. 50! ¡Recibimos algunos más, nuevamente a pedido!Después de los entrantes, esperaron otros 30 minutos y sin plato principal, volvieron a preguntar dónde estaban. Apareció en 5 minutos, 1 pedido incorrecto y frío, otro pedido frío y 1 bien. Ya había tenido suficiente en este punto, así que dije que ya no quería mi principal y solo deducir de la factura. Mis compañeros fueron reemplazados, pero todavía crudos en el medio, como era cordero, se lo comió de todos modos, ¡ya que ya estaba harto de la molestia!Afortunadamente, no nos cobraron por este fiasco ya que nos hubiéramos sentido robado si lo hubiéramos sido.Es una pena porque hemos estado aquí muchas veces y esta es la primera experiencia terrible que hemos tenido, pero sin duda me ha desanimado de volver.Lo siento, Olive Branch, ¡no es lo suficientemente bueno!

Had a table for 3 adults & two children booked for 5.30 pm. Everything fine - as previous visits. We arrived on time & ordered drinks & then our meals. Staff were very busy but accomodating although courses did take a little longer to arrive. We were all hungry & didn't dawdle over our food. Having finished our starter & main course the waitress asked if we'd like dessert. We said yes & she brought the menu. This was at 6.45. We ordered quickly, intending to have dessert & coffee. The manager then came to the table & asked us if anyone had told us there was a maximum of 1½ hours duration for the table. They had not. He said he needed the table & offered us our desserts free if we took them home with us! We obviously weren't happy but didn't feel we had much choice & reluctantly agreed to leave. They were panicking because there were people outside & it was clearly apparent they were impatient for us to leave.A group of 6 adults on a table in the corner meanwhile, who arrived before us were still leisurely enjoying their food! He obviously didn't fancy shoving them out.To add insult to injury when we got our bill, we couldn't understand it - it seemed too much. I queried it & encountered very thinly disguised irritation from the person on the till. I paid it but deducted the 10% service charge at her suggestion & because of our meal being cut short. She then glared at me & said "so you didn't like the service!"I'm not precious or pretentious. But to be expected to consume a 3 course meal in 1½ hours WHEN SERVICE IS SLOW is unreasonable. To be encouraged to leave is unacceptable.A great shame because the restaurant itself & the food are lovely. But we will feel uncomfortable using it again.

First night out after the world changed. Cannot criticise the staff as they were fantastic. Really disappointed in the food however especially after the last time we visited. Given we paid full price and not on the government 50% scheme I expected much more. The lamb moussaka was seriously lacking any lamb, no layers of aubergine or potato but we're instead just thrown in the dish. Very watery too. My wife's aubergine main was not very pleasant either. Don't think we'll be completed by again. Very disappointing especially given its a 5 minute walk away. The moussaka at the Ilkley branch is completely different - huge portion and made how it is meant to be. The 2 star is for the staff otherwise would be lower

When our children dine with us they love to share a pizza, which again is delicious! You can’t go anywhere in Leeds where the food quality is at the highest standard for such a low price these days.

Excellent evening. A large party of people, we had a great evening. Relaxed atmosphere, superb staff and simply a delight of a restaurant. The whitebait was fresh plump, delicate and fried to perfection. The Calamari starter was tender and seasoned beautifully. The salmon, my partner had as her main course, was moist, tasty and she described as the best she had had in a long time. My steak was cooked as requested medium and the potatoes and the sauce were excellent. The whole experience was worthy of a top London restaurant. Arry, the owner was attentive and nothing was too much trouble; Charlotte and her colleagues were charming. If you have not been to this hidden gem: i suggest you do before there is a waiting list.

They could have wished me a happy birthday or a complimentary drink. Nothing, felt a bit flat. I usually go on a Thursday where it is 2 courses for £15. Do not mind paying the extra on a busy Friday.The starters are tiny but nice, you could not really share themI ordered the chicken salad which looked completely different to a Thursday when I usually have them. It was nice and the portions are big. We ordered the baklava as dessert and that was delicious. Clean restaurant just lacked a bit of atmosphere and we would go back

He estado en varios establecimientos de Olive Branch, pero este es quizás el más debido a la proximidad de mi abuela. Vamos bastante regularmente y el personal es encantador. Cuando llegamos estaba tranquilo (fuimos los primeros en almorzar), y el miembro del personal que trabajaba nos había abierto la puerta y tenía un cojín para mi abuela (es muy frágil, tenía la nuestra pero fue una sorpresa maravillosa).La comida siempre es genial, había 6 de nosotros y todos limpiaron los platos. Todos optaron por la oferta del almuerzo (2 comidas por un precio fijo) y las personas mayores del grupo pudieron obtener versiones más pequeñas de sus cursos deseados.La comida tomó un tiempo, sin embargo, todos disfrutaron de su comida y, como estábamos pasando tiempo juntos en un ambiente agradable y tranquilo, estuvo bien.Hay una buena razón por la que voy allí a menudo a pesar de que hay una gran variedad de restaurantes.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I find it very difficult to find another place so close that matches all the things I want. Doesn’t matter if you go in the evening or daytime everything is always good 👌

We had the evening special deal and it is a very good price at £15 for 2 courses. The meal is good valued for this price. I would not have paid the fixed price on the menu. The garlic mushroom although good looks like tin mushroom with garlic, nothing fancy. Fajitas and mixed grill was very good (seems like less meat on the plate since my last visit, but still very good and plentiful). The aubergine dip as the starter was just not right, not sure why it was pink and full of dill and where the aubergine was. The staff was great, as soon as I questioned it, they offered an other starter to replace this one.

I've been here 3 times for lunch, after a recommendation from a friend, and would recommend it myself. There's a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes on the menu, for meat, fish and veg lovers. We've taken advantage of the 2 standard sized courses for £14.95, which is good value as the portions are on the large size! There's an option for smaller appetites of 2 courses for £10.95 as well. The restaurant is cosy, stylish and has comfy seats! Always a bonus!There are large windows at the front so it is light and airy,with 2 screens of moving seascapes to capture the holiday ambience.Ive had the prawn skewers for a starter twice now, as they are large, juicy and come with a spicy sweet dip. The veg moussaka is lovely, really fresh and tasty.Leave room for dessert as the lemon cheesecake is gorgeous- massive slice of creamy tangy pud.Really pleasant staff, who are attentive and polite. Well worth a visit!

A variety of tables and chairs reminiscent of the spoils of a jumble sale. Bland main courses. The chicken in the chicken pizza was rare (ie nearly absent). But the desserts were sweet. Overpriced.

Our third visit to the Olive Branch and the standard doesn't fall. Charlotte and 'Ari' looked after us very well (3 adults and 2 children), the food was delicious and in generous portions and the atmosphere was great. A very pleasant lunch - thanks to all concerned.

High standards at this small chain of Yorkshire based restaurants. Very tasty freshly cooked East(?) Mediterranean food. Doesn't pretend to be Michelin bound but they serve tasty freshly prepared dishes at a value price. Especially good value special deals for mid week lunch. Good wine list with lots of variation at keen prices. Cheerful and helpful staff who served us lunch on a surprisngly busy Tuesday. Our bill came to just over £60 for two courses with coffees for two including a bottle of excellent 2014 Montagny. Most restaurants would charge this just for the wine- they did tell me I had the last bottle, though.

As before, the restaurant is welcoming, the staff are great (thanks Hanna) and the food is delicious. We were 3 adults and 2 children this time in for Saturday lunch and we all really enjoyed our meals. Why this restaurant doesn't have a queue outside continues to surprise me!

Visité este restaurante de nuevo con un grupo de amigos. El lugar estaba lleno de clientes felices disfrutando de su velada. La selección y el valor de la comida fueron fantásticos como siempre, complementados por algunos nuevos staters especiales y platos principales. A pesar de estar muy ocupados, nos cuidaron muy bien Charlotte y Zoe, que estuvieron atentos. Bien informado y útil. La oferta de 2 cursos entre semana es inmejorable.

La comida era buena y el personal agradable, pero la cuenta fue un poco de sorpresa. Lo que sucedió es que dijeron que hay un acuerdo para el arranque y el principal para 14. 99. Nos imaginamos el plato caliente que dijeron que sería 1. 50 extra, que estaba bien. Pedimos un entrante y dos platos principales, pero en lugar de aplicar el trato a los más caros, lo hicieron a un precio más barato, lo que resultó en una factura de alrededor de 5 más alta de lo esperado. No es un problema, pero no se siente muy honesto. ¡Asegúrese de revisar su factura antes de pagar!

Éramos 6 adultos y 4 niños para el almuerzo en un sábado. El restaurante era cálido y mediterráneo, el servicio era excelente (gracias Charlotte) y la comida era realmente deliciosa. Nuestros nietos fueron muy bienvenidos y, aunque no hay un menú dedicado a los niños, tenían medias raciones a mitad de precio; La variedad de platos es muy amplia y disfrutamos de todo lo que pedimos. Charlotte nos habló de la oferta de 'dos cursos para 16' que hicimos y las raciones fueron generosas. Nuestras carnes asadas (cordero, chuletas de cordero y parrilladas mixtas) eran excelentes y la lubina era muy, muy buena. Esa fue nuestra primera visita a The Olive Branch, pero ciertamente no será la última.

Extremadamente sorprendido de lo ocupado que estaba este restaurante en un día de la semana. El servicio que recibimos fue brillante, un restaurante completo y, sin embargo, perfectamente controlado. A pesar de lo ocupado que estaba, no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para que llegara nuestra comida y todo estaba delicioso. Tuve el queso y el bistec de cabra fritos y mi amigo tenía hummus y fajitas, porciones enormes y todo muy sabroso. Bien hecho. ¡Volveremos!

My first visit to the Olive Branch for several months and I was quickly reminded of what I had been missing .The 2 course midweek offer is fantastic value .The menu offers an amazing selection of Turkish/ Greek food and my friend who is a vegetarian said there was an excellent choice of dishes which is not the case in many restaurants

Our first visit this evening to this restaurant, but we will certainly visit again in the near future. The restaurant although not large provides a comfortable dining experience and the tables were well spaced so providing a good level of privacy. All 6 in the party enjoyed their well cooked and presented dishes. The staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no childrens menu, but our two pre teenage granddaughters had no problem in selecting meals they both thoroughly enjoyed.

Thomas's Tavernalocation-icon1 Orchard GateGreek

Why on earth Thomas's Taverna isn't packed to the hilt amazes me. Situated in the main street in Otley, with plenty of on road parking in the evenings, it is an ideal location. Dint let the Cobble Cafe signage outside deter you - that is during the day - at night the cafe is transformed into a typical Green taverna, crisp blue and white table linen and little twinkling lights, with just the right level of Greek background music. Because there are only the choices of meat or vegetarian meze on offer time is spent preparing a few dishes rather than juggling making a huge variety, resulting in the food being amazing, from the starters of dips and a lovely fresh Greek salad - with plenty of feta cheese - not the usual odd piece if you are lucky - to the meatballs and the spinach filo pie to die for. Then when you think the food can't get any better comes the chicken and usually lamb although this week we had the beef stifado. mmm mmm.

Souvlaki Restaurant and Barlocation-icon18 Great George StreetGreek

Very disappointing after waiting a while to be served we selected Moussaka to informed none left this was 6pm. Then we both opted for lamb kleftiko to be informed only one left. I opted for lamb chops. Both meals disappointing- lamb chops very dry and hard , Garlic bread was hard over cooked more akin to a crisp bread. lamb kloftiko joint very fatty and in a watery soup. We had starters which to be fair were OK . Two drinks each, two starters , two mains, two sides £90 including 10% service charge. Not the same experience we had before lockdown. In our opinion very poor, two main items on menu not available at 6pm? poor main courses and over priced

Acropolis Mediterranean Restaurantlocation-icon74-76 Otley RoadGreek

We called in on a wet Sunday night after an early showing of a film at Cottage Road. The restaurant was very quiet with just a couple of tables occupied, one with a large group. There appeared to be only one waitress, but service was excellent - she was friendly, efficient and thorough and moved very fast - literally running up the stairs to the kitchen - and nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good - we had meatballs and spicy kofte for starters. Both were tasty and came with a basket of pitta bread. For main courses we had beef stifado. This comes with rice and we also ordered a portion of spinach and onion as a side. The stifado was delicious - you could taste the spices used in the sauce which was rich and full of flavour. All the food came piping hot and portions were generous. A couple of complimentary squares of baklava finished the meal off perfectly. This is a great little local restaurant with lovely food and fantastic service and we will definitely go again.
