Fantastic Mediterranean food served in a mom and pop restaurant.

My absolute favorite place. Its like visiting someones parents who are incredible & mom is THE BEST COOK EVER!

Excellent food and service for more than fair prices. Would definitely visit again!

Amazing, great food and service.

Authentic quaint small place in Bethlehem! Stumbled upon this gem after living here for almost 3 years! Delicious middle eastern food served by one of the owners. He said he is the Chef and but the main Chef is his wife 🥰 She cooks and he serves. We had the baba ganoush as an appetizer, side salads before dinner meal, which was the chicken skewers with rice and vegetable skewers with hummus. Don’t suggest you be in a hurry to eat and run as service is not quick, though the food is worth the wait. Will definitely be going back!

Simply the best Mlddle Eastern food in the Valley

Worlds best food, service, and atmosphere. We came in too early (not realizing they were still closedyet the owner served us without mentioning a thing. We felt like we were being served a homemade dinner. Highly recommend the grape leaves, Kibbeh, and vegetarian platter.

Phenomenal service! Cute homie environment and delicious food. I would highly recommend! What more can you ask?

Nice storefront restaurant serving Middle Eastern food. I found it through Google, stopped in for lunch, and had a delicious salad with lamb kebab and Arabic coffee. Certainly recommend for a low-key, hospitable, and delicious meal experience.

This quaint restaurant has the perfect at home cooking feeling. The dishes are flavorful and delicious! The owners are so kind and I was 100% satisfied with every dish I got. Whenever I am back in this area, Ill be visiting again.

Do NOT ever order delivery from here. EVER. It will be wrong every time.

Sam and his wife do an amazing job. The food is fresh and delicious. I feel like Im at my grandparents kitchen. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem tucked away in SouthSide Bethlehem. Quaint and intimate little restaurant with lovely owners. Fresh ingredients, ample portions.

Super friendly, amazing prices, and the food is absolutely delicious. It is a gem. If you want the best Mediterranean in Bethlehem, this is the place. Do not miss this!

Place is right next door. Perfect place for vegan and or low sodium dieting and or high in protein dieting.The Older Gentlemen is Very Friendly and Funny, and The Older Womanis very Nice and a SweetHeart. I would recommend coming here way more times then once to Eat its that good.The Backlava is a REAL TREAT!Lamb Burger cooked to PERFECTION

My family and I got take-out there last night for the first time, and we were very pleased with the food. The meat pie was amazing, as were the feta and spinach pies as well. The kebabs were excellent (the kibbeh was the best!and all of the sides were flavorful and excellent. I have never been a fan of tahini sauce until I ate it at this restaurant. And the tabbouli was outstanding and the way it should be, without all of the cous cous or bulgar added in. Lots of fresh herbs in an excellent sauce. But the star of the show was the baklava; hands down this was the BEST baklava I have ever eaten! Wow, I am salivating just thinking about it.Keep up the good work Olive Branch. We will be returning.

Delicious!! Clean and quaint. Good quantity of food for price

If you are looking for delicious, authentic Mediterranean food, look no further; Olive Branch is THE place. Ghada and Sam offer up an excellent menu to please any palate. Hubby and I were visiting from NY when we discovered this charming restaurant. The owners are friendly, the place is neat and clean (check out the gorgeous tableclothsand the food is top-notch. The servings are substantial (bring home a doggy-bag!and the ingredients are all fresh. Finish your meal with one of their scrumptious desserts and Turkish coffee.Ghada and Sam, we cant wait to see you again for great food and conversation. Thank you for leaving the radish out of my salad! 😊

I enjoyed a lunch of stuffed grape leaves and hummus. Pleasant, cozy little restaurant.

Amazing experience! The food was delicious, the service was spectacular, cant wait to come back!

My family came here to eat after days of fun in the water park! The food here was delicious and filling. There was food enough to impress vegans and meat eaters alike. The service was charming and excellent. The atmosphere is inviting and the music sounded like their hometown. We enjoyed the whole experience.

I felt like family being greeted after a long absence. Very friendly! First time customer and I will be back. The falafel was delicious! Spinach pie was amazing, pastry...can I ask for seconds?

Such a cozy lovely restaurant!! The food was very delicious. Even for a vegetarian group like ours, we had so many options. Would love to be back again soon❤️❤️

Reasonable prices, wonderful service, and some of the best Middle Eastern food in the Lehigh Valley!

By far my favorite go to place for a yummy lunch. Love the shish kabob or swarma sandwiches. Very delicious food. A friendly older couple own this restaurant, who cook and serve yummy authentic Syrian cuisine, have Syrian music, table setting, really makes me feel like I am on an exotic vacation. I love this place.

Great food! Owner even gave us a piece of cake for free while we waited for our to-go order.

I feel so at home at this restaurant. The dinner for 2 during the week is an excellent option with a nice selection of appetizers, kebab and dessert.

Had the meat pies, Shawarma with lamb and baklava. Enjoyed the flavors of all three courses.

This is a hidden gem of south Bethlehem! Delicious, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting on a regular basis!

We were delighted to find this gem of a Middle Eastern restaurant so close to the Lehigh campus. We enjoyed excellent authentic appetizers and entrees that we all shared and enjoyed! Atmosphere was cozy and inviting, service was great, and the owner’s family offered us their table as we didn’t have a reservation on a Saturday night. We left feeling like we had enjoyed a meal prepared by one of my Syrian aunties! We look forward to future visits!

Possibly the best middle eastern restaurant in the valley, and Ive been to almost all of them! If you can, go on a Friday or Saturday for dinner and try their fish special. The housemade sauce on it is super tasty. Overall, food is super good and super cheap.

Service was friendly and quick, food was excellent and reasonably priced. Restaurant was tastefully decorated. We will go back again and again.

The shawarmas and falafels are authentic. The arnabit is a default appetizer order. The stuffed grape leaves, kabobs are good too. I’ve also heard that the coffee is amazing and is served in a Turkish coffee pot. Rightly priced and neatly maintained. The place is a little small but the staff are really nice and accommodating.

warm and inviting atmosphere. beautiful embroidery on table clothes. chicken, beef and lamb kabobs were excellent. grape leaves so delicious. everything homemade. all served on beautifully designed plates. service impeccable. i cannot wait to return.

Amazing food! Very reasonable prices, great portion size. And a warm, cozy atmosphere. The cauliflower app and the catfish entree was to die for!! Def try!!

My favorite vegan place ever! The owners are so kind and sweet, remember what I always order and even how I would like my coffee to be and my water with a half of hot water and a half of tap water ❤️❤️Try coffee, veggie platter, falafel, roasted veggie, and homous next time folks! 😊

Good Mediterranean food (tho its the only one aroundand not too expensive. But the waitress are not very friendly. Sometime just look angry serving customers, not sure why she still works there.

This is our go to place for middle eastern food in the Lehigh valley . The owners really know how to make homemade from scratch babaganoush, hummus, falafel and more. The food is excellent and the price is too low for the quality. Love it.

What a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. We ordered the pie sampler, kabob combo, dessert and coffee. I cant remember what the dessert was called, but it was yummy!

Great little middle eastern resturaunt. Cozy atmosphere and the food always tastes delicious and authentic.

This is the best restaurant in the Lehigh VALLEY...

Always high quality Middle Eastern good. Best Arabic coffee Ive ever had. Owners are incredibly friendly.

Cute little restaurant that serves delicious food. My favorites are their hummus and grape leaves (both meat and vegetarian), along with their falafel wrap. Their dessert, Knafeh, is delicious, especially if you get it fresh made. I come here as often as I can!

Absolutely amazing!! Authentic Mediterranean food. This is really homemade. I have tried so far hummus, labne, lamb Kabbab and they just cant taste better. Highly recommended!! Clean. Welcoming just authentic!

In town to visit family and popped into this cozy little restaurant. Glad we did, as the food was fresh, authentic, and so very tasty. The owner warmly greeted us when we entered and promptly took our order. The food arrived one course in time after another. Would definitely come here again.

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere!They are always great at accommodating vegetarians and vegans!Highly recommend the grape leaves and falafel.

My sister had been going here for years, as she lives close. One of her favorite places to dine in the Lehigh Valley. I had the pleasure of finally eating here a few weeks ago. Wow! The food was wonderful! The man who waited on us (the owner, I believe?was very friendly and was great with my nieces. Oh... make sure you save room for coffee and desert. The rosewater pudding is so delicate and refreshing, and the coffee? Its tiny but heavy and fragrant all at once. I will be back here soon.

Food is awesome. We usually share a bunch of apps. Kibeh, hummus, and spinach pies are our favorites. Sam, the owner, takes good care of you.
