The Olive Branch Café & Restaurant - Oxford

Great value for money for good quality lunch. My son had the pancakes with fruit and Nutella, they went down very well! Service was great, staff were very kind. I would definitely return 🙂

An excellent find, although a place we have walked past various times. No more, if you have given this place a miss for places further in town then stop and give this place a go. We have wraps and they were excellent, tasted so fresh and full of flavour. Staff were great and the bill was very reasonable. Will definitely return.

A perfect place for Breakfast or Lunch. It was an amazing experience. The food was really tasty and good and the service was excellent. The coffee is really really good. I had two mochas and the hot chocolate was delicious as well.
Must try the Mozzarella Sticks💯

We were excited to try this place, as we enjoy Turkish/Lebanese cuisine and wanted a halal option in Oxford. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing today. We had to clear our own table as it hadn’t been cleared from previous diners, and the server was dismissive when we asked for help. Other tables had also been left uncleared and diners coming in were unsure as to wait to be seated or just find a table. The food delivery blocked the entrance and bathroom, and some frozen items seemed to be thawing instead of properly stored. Food was acceptable but overpriced, and lacking in accompaniments like bread and sauces. I had to ask for chilli and garlic sauces several times before they were brought out. Another diner was asking for her money back because of how long she had been waiting for food. The bathroom also needed attention. Given positive reviews, we may have caught them on an off day, but we won’t be returning.

There was a delay to my train so I popped out of the station. Visited the Olive Branch and it was great. Hot chocolate was great, the decor was nice and the barista I had was very kind and polite

I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant in Oxford Centre, just a short walk from the train station, and it was an unforgettable experience! The Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine here is absolutely top-notch, with authentic flavors that transported me straight to the Middle East. From the tender chicken to the flavorful lamb tagine with rice, every dish was a delight. The coffee was exceptional as well, providing a perfect end to a wonderful meal. The service was excellent, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. If you're in Oxford and craving amazing Lebanese or Moroccan food, this spot near the train station is a must-visit!

Wow! I’m a big coffee guy, have my own rig at home, and focus a bit more than I should on coffee. Anyway, all that to say that this place blew me away!

We had an espresso, cappuccino, and a dirty chai and they were all phenomenal. So much so, that I felt compelled to write up a review - 10/10. Will definitely be coming back here - what a lovely find.

Close to Oxford railway station, this is an excellent Mediterranean café bar with good food. There is a tapas menu, tagines, burgers, pancakes and I enjoyed a wonderful shakshuka with merguez sausage and pitta bread. The service was attentive at all times. It is level access and there is one toilet. I don't often visit Oxford but I hope to visit the Olive Branch again.
