Olive Thyme

Unassuming, welcoming and then completely blown away. Sibel is the perfect host, making you feel at home, while Yalcin prepares every dish a masterpiece of flavour and authentic style! Fresh ingredients, expertly crafted and paired with the perfect wine.
Try the octopus, lamb koftas and rolled baklava!

What a treat!!!

How lucky are we to live around the corner from Olive Thyme! Whenever we want to sample Brisbane’s best (by far) Turkish restaurant it’s just 5 minutes away. Thanks to Sibel and her staff for moving to Albion.

Amazing!!
Great food! Impeccable service! Our 3rd time!!!

Love it
Beautiful Turkish food, great atmosphere and great service

Exceeded our Expectations
We were recommended to dine at Olive & Thyme for their authentic Turkish cuisine. Our meal ended up far exceeding our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and their wonderful staff went out of their way to make our dining experience the best it could be. Even though the restaurant was full we didn’t feel crowded, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Exceptional
I’ve been thinking the whole drive home on how to describe our experience tonight and I just cannot find the words. I don’t think we have ever stayed close to 4 hours in a restaurant with our 3 year old daughter. From the ambience to the decor, the staff and most importantly the food we cannot fault a thing! Everything has been thought of so finely, the flavours are amazing and absolutely incredible, it definitely is not your standard Turkish restaurant (finally!) if you are after a true Turkish, fine dining experience look no further. Definitely something Brisbane has needed for a very long time and safe to say they delivered above and beyond! You truely need to experience it for yourself to understand this review. Wishing this restaurant absolutely nothing but the best and utmost success!

Fantastic service,Super fresh delicious food.

Best family restaurant!
Our entire family really enjoys eating at Olive Thyme Cuisine. Not only is the food amazing, but the atmosphere is gorgeous!! The staff are always happy, helpful and you often find the owners taking time with the families throughout the night. Our children range from ages 7-14 and it’s the first restaurant where they can enjoy a proper nutritious meal and not nag to hurry up and leave. And we are a family that travel with electronic devices may I add.
Thank you Olive Thyme Cuisine for always going above and beyond! We can’t wait to be back.

Wonderful place,great food

Sensational

Everything was excellent from the friendly and welcoming staff to the food and drinks

Best Turkish restaurant we have been to, and our favourite place to eat. Amazing food, great atmosphere and excellent service.If I could rate six stars I would!

From Turkey with love
Every time we come to Olive Thyme, it is an absolute pleasure. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with Turkish ceramic plates, and the waitstaff are very friendly and helpful. The menu caters to all dietary requirements, and each dish has so much passion and love drizzled in. We always order a dips plate with lavash bread, the halloumi dish and octopus meze plate, and we NEVER skip desserts... And every second Friday is live music! A must-go for your next night out.

Wonderful place
Delicious food and friendly staff. We really enjoyed there. You should have go and try lamb cutlets.

Name of perfection
I have dine in there several times. First of all the taste is way beyond my expectations . On the other hand it’s cosy warm and chic environment which gives u an amazing feeling like u are at home with good vibes. The owner Sibel is an extraordinary woman with all welcoming and the stuff are very smiley friendly and kind. I am definitely addicted with your food and hospitality. It is also very good for big groups yet we dine with work colics and very inspiring environment for talk about business but also celebrate birthdays etc. and I love the live jazz on Friday evenings too.

Delicious
It is one of the best experiences that i have in Brisbane. Not only the very delicious food but also the presentation and service was excellent! I ll definitely come back again and many many thanks for an outstanding dinner.

Best Turkish food in Brisbane.
Love how they have cater to gluten and dairy allergies and have amazing options for vegetarian and vegan diets. The dishes are well presented and the flavours are so delicious ?? I would recommend Olive Thyme to anyone and everyone.

Absolutely perfect
Best Turkish meal my husband and I have ever had. Beautiful food and amazing service

Outstanding!!!
Olive Thyme bless us away in every aspect. Before anything was the amazing customer service we received. Being a first time visitor to the restaurant we thought it was going to be “Just another Turkish restaurant” but we were blown away at how far from it was and how unique everything was set out from the layout to the menus, everything had a detailed touch to it. The staff were absolutely delightful and especially the host Sibel. She goes above and beyond with her beautiful smile and welcoming personality. The food was to droll over and I cannot wait to go back to Brisbane and visit Olive Thyme again. Everything about the place was great ???? big thumbs up guys!

Best Turkish Food
I have been there two nights ago. Im stiil under impression. How beautiful restourant and foods. You are just amazing Olive Thyme!!!

Amazing Olive Thyme
The food, wine and service was very special. My son just loved the ‘Lamb Cutlet’ and ‘Taze Fazulye’ was so delicious and tasty. The Meze plate was absolutely divine with the rich flavours. I don’t think you can find the same taste anywhere else in Brisbane. Service was also very attentive and welcoming. Finishing with chocolate brownie with icecream was such a great idea. Many thanks to Sibel and Yalcin for sending us home with a good taste in our mouth.

Lovely, delicious and generous plates. Requires online booking
If you want to experience reel Turkish cuisine, this is the place. I recommend Lahmajun, meat platter, meze plate, dips plate and Turkish bread. Also soujook-hallumi is a great Anatolian mixed, the fig puree from Aegean part, hallumi from Mediterranean and the soujook from middle part of Turkey. You can find selection of the best Turkish foods, and the closest taste is just 15000kms away :)

Great ambiance, gluten/dairy/vegan/vegetarian friendly
Private deck at the back is great for big functions if you want amazingly delicious food and great space, family friendly with enclosed kids play area and a devine menu that suits all dietary requirements and budget.

Delicious

Excellent service, large meals well priced

Amazing Worker and beautiful dishes! Olive Thyme has the best Turkish food I have ever eaten!

As Triditional as home..

You won’t find better, I’m still in shock at how good it is!
