The Grape Leaf

“The service was exceptional, the food was good, and the ambiance lovely!!”

We’ve been to The Grape Leaf many times and always enjoy the food. On this visit, I had the lamb biryani with lentil soup—spiced beautifully with plenty of lamb and saffron rice—and we paired it with Turkish coffee, which complemented the meal perfectly. Portions are hearty (enough for another meal), and they offer a wide range of vegetarian options. Overall, it’s a great place for anyone looking to try delicious Mediterranean dishes while supporting a local favorite.

The Grape Leaf is a cozy, locally owned Mediterranean restaurant in Louisville. The food is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. While the menu may not be extraordinary, the dishes are consistently good and made with care. One thing that makes this place unique is that they do not serve alcohol and do not allow BYOB, which creates a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. If you're looking for healthy Mediterranean food and a casual dining experience, The Grape Leaf is a solid choice.

This is a well established Louisville eatery and for good reason. The dining area is well laid out, conducive to convivial conversation over food that is well prepared and served with attention and kindness. The menu offers standard Mediterranean fare, with many vegetarian options. Portions are generous and the flavors are both authentic and delicious.

My favorite food is their babronia, which is a combination of beans and veggies in a red sauce with spices. It tastes so good, and you cannot get it anywhere else. I also like their baba ghanoush and their grape leaves. Mmm!!! Their Greek salad is also my favorite, but I forgot to take a picture of it on my recent visit, because I ate it so quickly. Lol. The waiter we had forgot to bring our silverware and plates for appetizers, on our previous visit. He apologized, and gave some silverware after our food had arrived...he said they were quite busy, but we were one table out of about 5 other ta
