The Olive Branch Mediterranean Cuisine

The Olive Branch is a family owned Cahaba Heights restaurant where kafta, shawarma, hummus, tabbouleh, and grilled vegetables form a colorful spread. Portions invite sharing, and the kitchen keeps herbs, citrus, char, and spice in balance. It works as comfortably for a casual lunch as for a table filled with small plates at dinner.

The Olive Branch builds its gyro around seasoned meat, warm bread, fresh vegetables, and a generous spoonful of sauce. The Gyro Deluxe adds enough heft for a full meal while keeping the contrasting textures intact. Its Cahaba Heights dining room has the ease of a neighborhood restaurant, with a broader Mediterranean menu for mixed appetites.
