Every menu item is made with love and has an authentic, rustic feel that is reminiscent of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern culture. The staff are inviting, attentive and have a warm familiarity that sets their guests at ease. The worst thing about coming here is that I can only eat so much and I always want to try a new menu item whilst longing to revisit old favourites. Each meal is quite sizable, so a single main is often plenty. Olive Thyme consistently offers MORE. More flavour. More food. More joy. Always a good week when I've eaten at Olive Thyme.

I was craving middle eastern food while visiting my parents and when my god-parents wanted to have…read morelunch one day I suggested we go and have a middle eastern meal. My god-mother's friend suggested King Ahiram. The place is just a take-out place with an adjoining room with tables and chairs where you can have a "sit-down" meal. So we ended up ordering a selection of items. I don't know. I am used to going to Little Arabia for my middle eastern food here in southern California and my favorite place in Brisbane is Nono's and omg.... the food here was kinda on the dismal side. I felt really bad that my parents and god-parents had to sit through a different cuisine which I've been touting as so fabulously delicious only to be faced with really sub-par Mediterranean food. We had falafels, hummus, babaghanoush, kebabs, these crescent pastry things which looked like empanadas -- everything was mediocre at best. The meat was dry, the dips needed more olive oil.... falafels were hard as rocks. Tabouleh was flavorless. I never heard the end of it after the meal, even from my son who is an avid fan of this cuisine. We are definitely going back to Nono's next time.

King Ahiram was always a popular option among my uni friends when we needed a quick, cheap meal…read more The funny thing was that nobody actually knew what this place was called because the most prominent words on the sign are CAFE LEBANESE FOOD. It's only when you really take notice that you see King Ahiram's name on there. So yeah, until I paid closer attention when I decided to review it, this place was always known to me and everyone I know as 'the Lebanese place'. I guess the point I'm making is that at a place like this the name is unimportant. The food is tasty, cheap, and a bit on the greasy side so it ticks all the boxes for hungry youths. I wouldn't go here expecting a gourmet meal, but for the prices and the convenience it's worth munching on a felafel kebab or cabbage roll. 'The Lebanese place' might not be fit for a King despite its namesake, but it's definitely fit for a starving student.

I should have heeded my instincts and went somewhere else when I saw the three stars for Ahmets. I…read moredidn't and I got exactly what was expected, three star quality. We ordered a variety of dishes: manti lamb dumplings 9/10-these were little parcels of deliciousness, the sauces complimented them perfectly. Sigara borek 9/10-the right level of crispy and melted cheesy goodness. Garlic prawns 9/10- excellent flavor with a sauce you just have to keep dipping your bread in. Mini lahmajun 4/10- flat and lacking in flavor. Roasted eggplant 3/10. There are so many delicious ways to prepare eggplant and this was just bland and uninspiring. Beet dip1/10-just awful, and I love beets. The bill was quite steep and frankly, not worth it. Service was fine, and the outdoor seating area was nice, like the rest of the establishments on Little Stanley Street. It had some decent aspects, but I'd eat somewhere else. I'm still baffled as to why it was so busy, I didn't think it was worth it at all.
