Located in Cahaba Heights, the Olive Branch is a local favorite for authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
The Olive Branch MEDITERRANEAN cuisine
The Olive Branch Mediterranean Cuisine opened in February 2005 and is located in the Birmingham suburb of Vestavia Hills.. Since then Rana Shunnarah and her family have been serving both classic Mediterranean dishes and American cuisine with the specialty cooking you can only get from our house.
Here at the Olive Branch, we are committed to preparing healthy, authentic & delicious Mediterranean cuisine. We use only the freshest ingredients and the finest cuts of meat and fish in preparing each meal as it is ordered.
The restaurant is positioned in the heart of Cahaba Heights, just behind the Summit shopping center. The restaurant offers the choice to enjoy Alabama's beautiful weather on the outdoor patio or watch the art of cooking as it happens in the open-kitchen dining room. Our goal is customer satisfaction. We promise to provide our guests with a great tasting meal and excellent service. We hope you enjoy your experience with us.
