I took our senior managers. It was quiet night (state of origin) but food was fantastic.
We had a booking at 8 pm. We were informed on the night the kitchen closed at 8.30pm. Everything seemed rushed from here on in. Including being told a 9.45 the restaurant would be closing. We did not have time to order coffee. Not a pleasant experience as it was too rushed
Everything was perfect, the service, the food and overall atmosphere.
Lovely Turkish restaurant. I'd imagine this place is bustling on Fridays and weekends. We were only one of a few tables dining when we went, so it was quite a quiet atmosphere. I prefer a little livelier setting, if only to make conversations at a regular volume not feel awkward. But the food was gorgeous and tasted amazing. Service was also top notch.
brilliant evening. always a good night at this restaurant. food was terrific as usual.
The food was mostly quite good. But the baklava was disappointing - there was not much flavour, it was really bland. Where was the honey/rose/lemon sauce that gives baklava flavour? I am part middle eastern so I know good baklava when I have it. The dips at the beginning were amazing, the lamb main delicious, my husband enjoyed his prawn main also, and the haloumi was another highlight. Service was great, very friendly.
Best Turkish food I have ever had in my life.
Good but overpriced particularly the glasses of wine 🍷 🙏🏻
The food was very good, and the service professional but very rushed (it was Mother’s Day). The music was too loud, making it hard to talk/listen to other people at our table.
Amazing food. Took my work colleagues out and they had amazing service and just such good food. We got the chefs tasting menu and such good options, especially the dips and kafte.
Excellent. Also have a wide range of gluten free meals
Lovely atmosphere but overpriced. All mains averaged around $38 to $40. All bottles of wine around $80. It’s a very expensive family dinner which is a shame as we won’t be returning.
The food was superb, we had the Chefs menu and our tastebuds were delighted. Timely service meant we were not sitting around for ages waiting. Easy parking.
great restaurant. food very fresh and amazing. definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family
Atmosphere was lovely Plenty of wine options Food was incredible, so delicious! Coffee was perfect The owner was a fabulous host, going out of her way to ensure our experience was second to none…and it was♥️ I highly recommend Olive Thyme for a memorable dining experience.
They didn’t have a record of our online booking when we arrived… very disappointing… they found a table for us anyway…won’t use your service again
Always delicious food and excellent service at Olive Thyme, but somewhat expensive - for special occasions only.
We enjoyed an exceptional dining experience of calm and ambiance for our Sunday lunch. Absolutely loved the food, the timing between courses and the superb waitress service. We are keen to come back again.
Great restaurant with excellent food, you have to try the octopus
Authentic Turkish food that was beautifully presented, excellent table service . Food was a ten out of ten. We will go there again.
Great decor and excellent service. Convenient parking behind the restaurant. We keep returning for the Babaganouj - best in Brisbane!
My main course which was cheese wrapped in pastry and deep fried. The whole thing was so salty and greasy I couldn't eat most of it. My wife had a garlic prawn dish with zucchini strips. The prawns were tiny and of poor quality. The price for some very ordinary food and slow service ( I ordered a glass of wine, the even asking twice never appeared) was terrible. I will never go back. Awful restaurant.
Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Real turkish cuisine in Brisbane I have ever experienced.
We try to always have a dinner when our family are together for a wonderful meal at Olive Thyme. Always lovely xx
The meal was amazing with a lovely ambiance and friendly staff.
The food was good and well presented the service was ok. However the ambient temperature inside restaurant was way too hot again. The aircon units are not powerful enough to cope. Several tables and staff were fanning themselves with menus to try and keep cool. We ate and left for another venue as quickly as we could
The food here is absolutely delicious 💯. Highly recommended and definitely will come again soon
I tried Turkish cuisine first time and I have become a big fan of this. I am definitely gonna visit this restaurant again.
Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Would definitely book again
Great atmosphere exceptional customer service , fantastic food. Will be back
I visited on a Wednesday for lunch. It was my birthday. We were the only people in the restaurant! The hostess was very gracious but my lunch companion and I couldn't help wondering why they wouldn't just cancel our reservation. I would have understood! Anyways, always LOVE this restaurant and am so excited everytime I get to visit. Thanks!
We had nice meal in pleasant surroundings. The young lady who served us was lovely and very obliging.
Absolutely love Olive Thyme. The owners really give a personal touch to every costumer, ensuring that they talk to everyone. That personal touch is something you don’t see often. The food is incredible. The wait staff are friendly and always offering assistance. Olive Thyme is hands down our family fave.
Like a trip to Turkey in humble Albion Brisbane it’s a dining experience not to be missed. Absolutely impeccable food, menu, service and ambiance. Perfect for all occasions
Deliciously fresh and divinely flavoured . Attentive service . Social eating experience
We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we went there first time great food great service, we left happy.
Great food, great service. Had a fabulous time and will come back.
Excellent food, great service, very good value for money overall and look forward to visiting again
Loved Olive and Thyme. The food was fresh and so so delicious and the service team were generous with their patience and knowledge of the menu. Great to have on-site parking too!
The food is always absolutely fabulous! Quiet during the week.
Food was excellent. Service was fantastic. Atmosphere was brilliant. Acoustics does require attention. Drink prices are on the very high end of the market. Shows where the business is targeting their profits.
Food as always was delicious!!! The Raki Roll was delicious!
Interesting food and cocktails. Reasonably good service on a really busy night but will visit again on a week night.
Service was slow at first, but improved, food was great.
Exceptional menu, attentive service, deliciously flavorful food. Very impressed indeed. Olive and Thyme, thank you!
The food was amazing but the service when busy was ordinary
The food. Services and wonderful cocktails where great highly recommend for everyone, so nice to see white linen tablecloths back at restaurant loved the decor.
We had Chefs selection menu. Was amazing food and more than I could eat. The accommodated my Gluten Intolerant issue with no problem at all. Service is fast and courteous. We sat in back room which is much quieter than the front room. Heaters and knee blankets were provided if desired. Overall great dining experience.
It was a great experience from the atmosphere to the friendly customer service to the delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
Fine, we like Turkish food and any other from that part of the world.
