Went here our last night in Greenport and what a great way to close our trip. Loved the 6-side Mediterranean sampler, the Greek salad, the lamb, and beef-stuffed peppers. Out-of-this-world homemade fries! Fluffy and crispy pita bread. Could not get enough. We even got to meet the owner who was so warm, celebrating her daughter's birthday as we were celebrating our own family trip. Come here when you want it all, the good food and experience. 5 stars!!! read more

Loved our lunch here! There was a decent amount of veggie friendly options. We also sat outside and street parking was easy enough to find! We got their appetizer special of different assortments and their pineapple salad. The servings were big and filled us quickly! I don't think we could've eaten another bite. The service was great and quick. Overall - solid spot for lunch! read more

Romantic, cozy venue with excellent food and family friendly vibes. We ordered the cold sampler- surprised by how good the beet concoction was- and a shepherd salad. For entree we shared a lamb kebab and stuffed peppers as well as fries. Everything was great and portions were so generous! Had to practically roll me out of there. We were fortunate to meet the owner who was as expected- kind, warm and grateful. Would come back in a heartbeat- thanks for such a great meal and dining experience! read more

Nestled down a corridor off of Front Steet lays the unpretentious Olive Branch, with its simple decor and quiet ambiance. Though, one of the best meals that I had while staying in Greenport. The menu has a little bit for everyone's taste in this cuisine, we were waited on by the owner who offered his suggestions and descriptions. We had the most delicious bottle of Turkish wine after being given a few to try, and every food item was cooked perfectly and prepared elegantly. All foods were fresh and homemade. Make a reservation though you may not need it, you will be treated to a fine dining experience in a comfortable atmosphere, with excellent service and with the most fresh and delicious cuisine read more

I went out to dinner with my mom last night to this restaurant and it was amazing, great time great experience. We ordered the tantuni as our main dish to share as well as a bottle of Turkish wine and a salad. The owner and also our server, Joseph, was a pleasure to talk with and taught us a lot about Turkish culture. I had never tried Turkish wine before it was great. Quiet place with good music. The baklava was to die for and they make it a special way. Overall 10/10 place loved it will be back! read more

While on the North Fork we found this absolutely wonderful Turkish/ Mediterranean restaurant for dinner in Greenport. The owner Yusef was so nice , welcoming and attentive! The restaurant is clean and neat with plenty of seating. The food is amazing , delicious and presented so beautifully. We enjoyed an excellent bottle of Turkish wine , something I've never had before, it was delicious ! Pita bread with Olive spread and hummus is brought straight away to the table , it was scrumptious ! We then ordered an appetizer, that we never had before , it was mussels with a potato filling wrapped in fillo dough and fried .. I wish I remembered what it was called ... WOW so good! I had the chicken kabobs served with grilled veggies and jasmine rice . The grilled chicken was flavorful and tender and the veggies of grilled asparagus, , sweet and white potato along with the rice were perfectly cooked . I can't say enough of how delicious everything was ! Yusef then brought us over a complimentary after dinner drink and rice pudding ! What a lovely surprise! Thank you that was so nice and we really appreciated it ! Needless to say we totally enjoyed our evening and would definitely return sometime in the future . read more

You can't go wrong with Turkish food! This restaurant has a very cute seating area outside when weather permits. The server was very nice and spoke to us about his hometown in izmir. The gözleme was a nice appetizer and the salads were very fresh. I definitely recommend, it is a little bit pricey of course. read more

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences we stumbled upon. We were a 12 top that had a hard time getting all our guests together. We had a wedding, a birthday and a reunion all happening at once and Yusef (I beleive the owner) A true 5 star experience and one of the most unique wine menus I have had the pleasure of investigating. Thank you so much to the whole team! read more

We are visiting from Brooklyn and visited the restaurant. I was with my sister, my mom and a friend of ours and everyone with very different palates. I am a vegetarian and there were plenty of options. By far, this was some of the best and most tasty Turkish food I have eaten! I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was also excellent and super attentive. If you are in Greenport you must go! :) read more

Delicious! Got the chicken kabob with grilled veggies and rice. It was so tasty. Will definitely be back.

We ate at several different restaurants in Greenport but this was by far our favorite especially if you love Mediterranean! The service, food and atmosphere were amazing. The owner will check to make sure you're are happy with your meal. read more

Good food is hard to come by in Greenpoint, and this place is a refreshing exception. Solid Mediterranean cuisine served by a welcoming staff in a cute set up right across the street from Mitchell Park, offering a nice people watching post. We ordered the Salmon Shish and Chicken Shish, and while both the chicken and salmon were a tad overcooked, the flavors were lovely and portions were generous. Also, since I know this was going to be your next question, that thing on the rice (in the chicken Shish picture) isn't a snail, just a carrot. read more

The outdoor seating was very nice. We enjoyed our dinner, Humus was delicious and spinach appetizer were nice.

Great place for appetizer and glass of wine in the heart of Greenport. During the summer on Mondays you can hear the music from Mitchel park. Food is authentic and flavorful. Only negative was the bathroom, not exactly neat and clean. read more

We were excited to discover Olive Branch, a hidden gem with phenomenal Turkish/Mediterranean food and outstanding service. The menu consists of traditional kebabs as well as more unique or uniquely presented items. Everything was delicious. In addition, we were impressed by the attention and care offered by the owner. He served our young kids as they were adults, taught them how to eat properly, and offered a dessert if they were to finish their meals. In the end, I was touched when he brought out delicious Baklava only to discover that one of my kids cannot have gluten. A few minutes later, he returned with delicious Lokum specifically for him to try. Overall, it was a stand-out meal and a memorable experience. read more

Excellent Turkish food, shared a plate of appetizers with pita, the shepherd salad and chicken schnitzel and it was all fantastic. The service was impeccable and the baklava for dessert was divine! Beautiful atmosphere for a wonderful dinner. read more

In LI to visit family and went there for dinner with my Aunt and sister. Food was very fresh and tasteful and the presentation was excellent. They had the ottoman Shephards salad and I had the lamb kabob. The baba genius (sp?) was excellent. I was very surprised and please the Yakut (red wine from Turkey) was very good. read more

Ambiance needs lots of work. The hummus spreads were good, but the rice was cold in the middle and sort of wet (not freshly made). No problems with the service. I would not recommend this to a friend. read more

Food was good, authentic, but very overpriced. $22 for a small shard's salad with 2 chunks of feta. Won't be back unless price adjustment.

Our 1st Visit to Olive Branch Restaurant. We were greeted by the owner Yusef and Michelle his wife who makes you feel very welcomed. The Chef is very passionate about his food & it shows. His recommendation were awesome. They had a two piece duo playing the piano & sing wonderful music. We started off with delicious platter with Hummus, Beets, Eggplant spread. The Spinach Spanakopita was the BEST I ever had. I could of ate that as a meal. Absolutely made fresh on premise. Dinners were all cooked perfectly! For dessert I would highly recommend the Baklava. I'm usually not a fan but the Owner told we it was like no other & he was absolutely correct. We can't wait to come back again. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Visited Greenport with another couple on a recent Thursday... Beautiful town to spend some quality time. We were there late afternoon so we wanted to catch a bite before dark, when it gets colder! As we drove thru town we saw a couple of Igloos in a courtyard which belonged to OBR. We called to ask if rezzys were needed for immediate arrival and were told "come on down" and when we parked and walked in we were met by Ahmet, our server who told us our igloo was awaiting us. He unzipped the entrance, turned on the little heater and asked for drinks...Well, after asking about their wines, which we were not familiar with, he brought out a tray with a bottle of each for us to taste.... an amazing gesture! We ordered drinks and then perused the menu. We chose to forgo appys and go for the entres. We shared an incredible Ottoman Shepherds Salad which was perfect! Our choices were the Kavurma Dinner, Lamb Shish Kebab Dinner and a couple of Tanturi Dinners over rice. Meats were cooked perfectly as ordered and was so tender and veggies were nicely charred and tasted great. At the conclusion of dinner, Ahmet brought out comp Baklava for us...delish! We had an enjoyable time and service was exemplary.... l read more

The short: HIGHLY recommend this spot if you're looking for either a cute lunch cafe or a delicious Mediterranean meal! The longer: this restaurant is nestled in a corner off of Front Street. In the warmer months there are tables outside. The restaurant is actually two spaces: the back left has an adorable cafe & shop for quicker bites & the restaurant has fuller meals and a gorgeous dining room. I haven't tried the cafe yet-- but have gotten take out several times from the restaurant, and it's easily now one of my favorite spots in Greenport! Michele & Yusuf - the owners & chef, respectively- are the absolute sweetest & most hospitable restaurant owners I've ever encountered. They truly care about ensuring their customers have an amazing dining experience-- and they see to it personally. The food-- AMAZING & soooo fresh & they give you very, very generous portions. Their grilled chicken is literal perfection in any form. Their tzatziki is creamy, yogurt-y deliciousness. Their gyros, meat & rice are all seasoned just right. I have never had a bad meal here. And, they have a ton of Turkish wines to try! Super highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and looking for a high-quality, affordable food & dining experience! read more

We haven't tasted flavors this rich since we were actually in the Mediterranean! The lentil soup was fantastic, the Octopus dinner was the best we've tasted outside of Greece. The Tantuni lamb was to die for, and the Ottoman's Shepard salad was so fresh and bursting with flavor. We have found a new favorite spot in Greenport! Don't be fooled by the subtle decor, as it only adds to the authenticity of this fantastic restraint. read more

We really enjoyed the food and the service at Olive Branch. We shared together our late dinner of the large combination platter, Spinach kopita, tabouleh salad and home fries...YUM! I had a glass of Turkish white wine which was really good. Perfect with our food. It was three of us and we left feeling full of tasty and healthy food! After we paid the check, we were offered Turkish coffee and pomegranate tea. Everyone was really nice there and you could tell they love the food they are serving and want you to enjoy it too, which I feel like is part of the experience. The outdoor cafe part looked so cute but it had just been a flash downpour of rain, so we ate inside which has less ambiance in my opinion that the outdoors but still nice, enough space in the table for all the food we were sharing and extra plates. Beautiful blue water glasses. Gorgeous coffee service too. read more
