    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

    Parsley Tabbouleh Salad is on the left and chopped lamb Tantuni on the right. Both very good the salad has many tomatoes though

    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!

    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 .

    We were here for a family group brunch. It was fabulous - $45 pp. Three different omelets - lamb, cheese and beef, feta tomato salad, sample appetizer platter, Shepard's, salad, pita bread, Turkish bread, mussels in phyllo dough lightly fried, stuffed grape leaves and a few desserts served with Turkish coffee. The owner is lovely and accommodating.

    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.

    Came here for the first time on a Saturday night and it was really busy. We made a reservation but…read morestill had to wait a bit to be seated. It's tiny inside but clean. We got the mixed cold appetizers which tasted really good with their bread. The mixed grill was very good, their lamb is one of the best we've had. I hope they consider adding iskender to their menu in the future. Unfortunately we didn't experience the best service when we were there. They didn't give us menus so we looked it up on our phones, and we had to flag the staff down to take our order after almost 15min. We asked for water refills and yogurt sauce but received neither and no one came to check on us. We didn't want to wait longer so we opted to skip dessert.

    Let me talk about the kebab -- the quality of this place has significantly declined over time. When…read morethey first opened, they were truly making authentic Adana kebab. The chef was from Adana, and he used to prepare lamb meat properly with a zırh (traditional curved knife). But those days seem to be long gone. During my last two visits, there's been a noticeable drop in flavor. It seems they've switched from hand-minced meat to machine-ground meat, and they've started mixing in beef as well. The kebab, which used to crumble with rich texture, has now turned into something more like a cheap supermarket meatball. Despite charging above-average prices, this decline in quality is unacceptable.The kebab was served with both rice and bulgur pilaf, but both had clearly been sitting for a while. The rice, in particular, seemed like it had been cooked 2-3 days earlier -- it was far from fresh. It might still appeal to Turkish customers who have never actually had proper kebab even in Turkey, but to anyone who knows what Adana kebab is supposed to be, this is a joke. I assume most of their customers are foreigners who don't really know what to expect from a real Adana kebab -- so they've taken the easy and cheap route. To make things worse, during my last visit, one side of the kebab was burnt. And the chef, like a typical trickster, had placed the burnt side facing down on the plate, trying to hide it. That's just shameful. And finally -- here's a photo of the cooked tomato they served. Completely white and unripe. Really, chef? You didn't notice when cutting it? You didn't see it while cooking? Or even when plating it? If good tomatoes are hard to find (which they're not -- they're just coming into season), then don't serve them at all. If someone asks, you simply say "It's not the season, and we couldn't find good-quality tomatoes, so we chose not to serve any." But you don't serve pickling-grade, pale white tomatoes on a plate. Also, the place is now covered with signs saying it's alcohol-free -- seriously, there are nearly ten of them across the entrance, exit, and walls. When I asked the waiter about it, he explained that the restaurant is now a "halal establishment." But here's the strange part: since the place opened, I've been there around seven times, and every time I brought my own alcohol, the staff gladly served it to me at the table. Surely they didn't just now discover that alcohol isn't considered *halal* in their religion.
