  “Food was amazing. Free bread at the start. We dropped our garlic butter and they got us a new one just automatically with out saying anything. Would come again!”

  “Fantastic food. Definitely recommend the vegetarian mezze, really generous portion. My partner had the lamb too which he said fell off the bone and was really good. Attentive service.”

  “Absolutely loved our experience at Olive & Thyme! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, cozy, and beautifully curated. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and perfectly balanced, making it hard to choose a favorite. The service was just as impressive: attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring without ever feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great conversation, and savor every bite. Whether you’re stopping in for brunch, lunch, or a casual get-together, Olive & Thyme never disappoints. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!”

  “A truly exceptional meal! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I particularly recomend the conservatory area. The food was phenomenal and the price is pretty reasonable for the quality of the meals and the vibe of the restaurant. The service was also great, very helpful and friendly but not intrusive. I came with my Dad for my birthday and we shared the mixed meze plate (the fresh baked levash bread with the spiced butter and the içli köfte were particularly exceptional). We then shared a mixed grill (the lamb chops and the chicken wings were my favourite) and a findik lahmacun for mains. We just managed to squeeze in a delicious serve of the katmer for dessert. The servings are generous, delicious and beautifully presented! The only thing that would have really made it better would be some kind of refreshing house-made fresh lemon drink or similar, but the ginger beer was still pretty great! Definitely one of my new favourite places in Manchester.”

  “Prices are old in the photos, please check website for updated ones since they have increased. Beautiful ambiance, sat outside and heater was on, brilliant presentation. Ordered a kids pizza, beef burger and steak. All food was really nice. For me, kids meal was slightly overpriced for the portion - small portion, price equal to adult meal. Loved the place 💫🤩”

  “The ambience and location is the best part of this restaurant. It serves Mediterranean cuisine with a variety of chicken, seafood and lamb. The pastas are a good pick, the chicken sizzler didn't have the sizzle as expected but the chicken was good. The portions are large and can be shared between 2 light eaters. Overall pricing is high but does justice to the servings and vibe of the place. The service was good, the staff is friendly. Overall a decent experience but nothing exceptional about the food that will take me back.”
