Great food! Iram and Hessaneh were five star staff 🌟

Came to Olive Tree for a Christmas party and had an excellent experience. Our waitress Derya was so accommodating and Goktug was so great with our party of 40 people! Would highly recommended both the food and service.

Nothing short of a great restaurant and the service by Derya, Goktug and team were amazing. I personally had a medical emergency and they went above and beyond to look after me and ensure I was ok cannot thank them enough. Also checking up on me throughout, thank you so much!

Slow service and wasn't attentive (although it was Xmas) table of 12-15 and we expected more

Unfortunately I didn't get any photos, 😩. 9 of us went. Service was great. Food was amazing!! Very very tasty. Price worked out around 45 quid pp including drinks and desserts. Live music plus the occasional birthday song. 🎂 Definitely recommend. I'll get photos when I go back in the near future. 👍🏼

Iram is a very professional, friendly and the food was soo delicious 🤤 10/10. We enjoyed our time

On Christmas eve we've visited Olive Tree, and it was a fantastic experience! The portions were incredibly generous and absolutely delicious. Our waiter, Inci, was outstanding—so friendly and attentive, providing fast and excellent service. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

We’ve visited Olive Tree a few times over the years and it was brilliant, but our last visit was terrible. Meeting with friends, we booked a table for 8 people. They tried to shove us into a booth for 6, saying it would be fine as we had children in our party… After we complained, we got a table for 8. The service then was also mixed. The food came quickly enough, but found we were waiting for crockery and cutlery to be replenished, and as a result food getting cold. Really disappointed, and won’t be going back.

In the such a busy period like December I would like to thank all staff for being helpful from the entrance. Especially I would like to thank our waitress Daria who went the extra mile with her job, and made my colleague special moment for her birthday. Food was delicious, my Seabream was fantastic!

Inci, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic. So attentive and great with kids and I could tell she genuinely cares about customers having a good overall experience. Food was delicious too!

I had a dinner catch-up with my friend, and Oliver Tree's Turkish food never let me down. It was generous food and good service, especially from the waitress, Iran, who was very friendly and attentive.

Food is always good & very tasty. The restaurant was very busy (pre christmas). Very noisy restaurant. The noise level is such that the only part of the background music you can hear is the annoying thudding of base beats. Not enough staff for volume of diners/tables leading to poor service following initial menu & drinks ordering, having to catch staff on the run for subsequent drinks & desserts. Always busy in the evenings but the menu & food is good.

Such lovely food, drinks and the staff are friendly and accommodating especially our waitress Imran. My mum has a lot of allergies and intolerances and they catered to all her requirements without any bother.

Had dinner with my siblings. Iram served us. She was super amazing. Her mocktail and dessert recommendations were spot on. The food tasted so good and it was a wonderful evening. We look forward to visiting again.

Great food and really nice atmosphere and service

Very good food, extremely nice staff, and enjoyable music would recommend

Very nice food and amazing service

the service and flavour of the food is amazing would definitely recommend

Lovely food and very nice staff! Thank you x

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the place was about half full. We checked before we went to ensure there were tables available. This is a favourite restaurant with our friends. The staff are very polite and helpful. The food was all good quality, well presented and good value. We didn't have to wait long to be served and the food was nice and hot. We had the sharing platter and mixed grill. The meat was delicious and there was an option of rice or chips with an accompanying salad which had a lovely light dressing. We had the sundae and cheesecake for dessert and both were delicious! There is parking outside which you can pay for via an app. We will definitely visit again!

Awful. The starter was tasteless and looked like a plate of baby food. I was expecting aubergine. The main course a lamb dish didn't have much flavour and was served cold. Service was terrible. Complaint's were made to staff who didn't seem to care. I spoke to the manager who comp'd the drinks bill for the whole party and sent more drinks over however I don't expect to go out to dinner and go home and make a cheese toastie because I was hungry. Scored 1 because I couldn't give a minus score.

The food was delicious and came on really quickly and excellent service by Iram had a rlly nice time at dinner with my friend after a long time

This is an excellent spot for a nice dinner and we got the best customer service ever by a lovely lady called Iram ☺️😊🥰🤌🤌

Disappointed really, went to the High Wycombe Olive tree ..its was really good ..this one needs to improve..I’m hoping the Wycombe team manage can re-train this team as I like this business💯😁

Extremely rude manager! We were told me have 1 hour to dine because we didn't book a table, bare in mind we had 2 kids with us. Should have talked away but we were new to the area and kids were hungry. The food was OK, however the waitress was very nice.

I been loyal costumers last 6 years , they never disappoint . Fantastic tasty food prepared from highest quality ingredients, lovely c, attended front of house team that creating memorable experience . Everyone that will come here once , will always come back :)

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, great service (thank you Inci!). A shame it doesn't close a little bit later, really wanted a Turkish Coffee!

Great food, very good service but was asked to leave early as it’s busy

Group of 15 attended. We ordered from the Christmas and a La carte menus. Half of us ordered the olive tree special and the portion sizes ranged from toddler to sumo. Some went home peckish!The food was dry, overcooked and bland and we had to ask for sauce. vegetarians said the food was edible but nothing special. The Christmas pre order menu was expensive and no one got exactly what they ordered. Lively atmosphere and attentive staff with plenty of parking (paid/free after 6.30pm). Disappointing experience overall.

Such a wonderful place! Great food (and very reasonably priced), great atmosphere and marvellous to spend time in. I'm a regular visitor, along with many of my friends and colleagues, because it's so good. Staff are lovely too and service is super-quick. Don't miss it if you're in the area.

The service was prompt and food was excellent. Iram( server) took good care to make the experience of dining here pleasurable. Will definitely come back again.

Venky is a consummate professional and very wonderful host. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made my mum’s birthday amazing! We’re so grateful and Venky deserves a promotion

I had the best experience! 🤩 The service by Iram and his colleagues was fantastic, and the food was exceptional. I'm so impressed, I can't wait to go back. Everything was perfect - highly recommend! #happycustomer #goodeats

The starter and the main were alright, nothing to shout home about, the portions were good but oh my god the pistachio cake for dessert was absolutely delicious. The happy birthday song they sang in Turkish for the customers was quite sweet, but it did get a bit annoying after a while. They did it 12 times whilst I was there, I counted 😂

Lovely food and an amazing waitress Iram, thank you!

Great food, but the portions were small.

Lovely place, looked after me, arrived later and still very accommodating 😁👌

Great food and service. Thank you, Iram!

Food was great. Irem was a lovely, friendly waitress who made sure we were happy with everything. The Olive Tree has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall we had lovely evening and will definitely go back.

Very cozy and warm place. Food was absolutely delicious, I would say surprisingly new taste of prawns (would like to have the recipe from chief chef). Special thanks for stuff Iram, she’s was very nice and served quick! Definitely recommend for everyone who wants a good, healthy and quick meal!

Great meal service was fast and good

Went here for a last minute work get together, food and service were great and a live singer on a Thursday night was bonus. will return.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience eating here with my colleagues from work. For starters, I had the Mushroom Sauté with mozzarella - an incredible combination of flavors, perfectly portioned, and not too strong on my palate - perfect. I paired this with a Becks beverage that tasted just like real beer but without the alcohol - as i had to drive home later. For the main course, I chose the Mediterranean Wrap with halloumi and falafel. It was very filling and came with a tangy, refreshing salad on the side that complemented the dish beautifully. Alongside this I ordered a Ginger beer, which was something different and added to the unique experience. It wasn’t like a normal ginger beer that you would find at a supermarket, it had fermented extracts which was a nice touch, helping me digest my big meal. Although the handmade desserts looked absolutely delicious, by now I was too full to try them. Instead, I finished my meal with a Turkish tea, which was unlike any tea I’ve ever tasted - fragrant and served in a charming, traditional curved glass - loved it! The atmosphere was great, with live music which created a warm and inviting vibe in the restaurant. Lastly I would like to add, the attentive service by the Turkish waitresses made the evening even more special!

Very yummy foods nice and clean extremely friendly staff

I went there for a lunch with my children and friends. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. They gave my daughter crayons to draw and later she got a free dessert. I highly recommend this place, we felt really welcomed with the children and we had a lovely time.

I recently visited Olive Tree restaurant and was really impressed. The food was delicious, the ambiance was inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive, especially Inci. A perfect dining experience all around. Will definitely be returning!

Fabulous food, great service and ambiance, shame the toilets are filthy!

Having travelled from Ashford, Kent we decided to have dinner at the Olive Tree and I would 100% recommend eating at this restaurant. The staff are friendly and attentive, thank you Venky for your hospitality. The atmosphere was beautiful and they have the most vibrant Happy Birthday song too. Happy birthday to their customer. Alhamdulillah I can confidently say this is the best Turkish food I've eaten and knowing it is my favourite cuisine, I will definitely be visiting again, InshaAllah. Thank you for a wonderful evening and delicious food.

Excellent service, very good food , professional staff, and quick served . 5 stars + from me .

I visited Olive Tree last Thursday and the food was absolutely delicious. My overall experience was spot and I do need to give a special mention to the waitress Inci, I think that’s her name. She went above and beyond and after having a few requests she accommodated them with no problem and remained friendly throughout and made sure we was looked after! Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Best Turkish place I’ve been to in a while. Food is good, the bread is a highlight! Waiters are quick and efficient. Parking is relatively easy if it’s not a busy night. Definitely a place to keep coming back to.

We celebrated our 2nd year anniversary here and had an amazing time. The service was quick, considering how busy it was on a Saturday evening, we were served ver quickly to the point that our main meals were ready before we finished our starter. The waiter service from Venka was amazibg, he prepared us a cute chocolate brownie as a token of our anniversary. Thank you Olive Tree! Great ambience, lots of birthday celebrations, loved it 😀 ❤️

I visited the restaurant on the 3/11/24, the food was so over priced and the portion was extremely small. I use to visit this establishment regularly before but the price seems to be going higher and higher. Was really disappointed about the quantity Service was good

Excellent customer service and overall experience. Olive Tree just never miss! Our favourite go to for a delicious Turkish!

Delicious food with sweet people! Try must if you were around MK, the Lunch Course is super cool! Great ambiance, Great Service.

Had a lovely meal here! Our waitress Eram provided a lovely service and was very attentive and helpful! Thank you :)

Absolutely brilliant, Love the food, the service was very good and the food came out quick and was on point with everything il be visiting It again when am next in Milton Keynes

Food was good. The restaurant was full of people, that says a lot. There were a lot of service personnel, they were constantly scurrying between the tables. But I didn’t like the level of their service. The appetizers were brought very quickly. After that, we started waiting for the main course. About 20 or even 30 minutes passed, the waiters kept passing by, not bothering to say that the main course would be later, or to ask if everything was okay. I asked the waitress when the food would be. The waitress left and never came back and didn’t comment on it in any way. When I asked our waiter, a young man (waiters don’t have badges, I don’t know his name), where our food was, he waved me off (!!), showing with his whole appearance that he was serving another table. I went to him myself and finally he apologized, saying that the kitchen was overloaded. In the end, the food was brought right away. The hot dishes are very large, I advise you to order for two, or not to order the appetizers. First, they also bring a free appetizer. But the overall impression was spoiled by the ill-mannered and impolite service staff.

Lovely menu choice, friendly and accommodating staff, food quality excellent and the service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

First visit, varied menu for both veggie and carnivores. Generous portions well presented and full of flavours. Friendly staff and service, will definitely visit again !!

Our second anniversary was excellent. We didn't have to wait long for service from drinks to appetizers to main course. The staff were quite friendly.

We were very pleased to have a lovely evening. My company was perfect and lovely. The food was very tasty and a good portion. The price was affordable and would definitely encourage me to go again. The staff were friendly and helpful and I will count the visit as most memorable. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making it a great evening.

I came to the restaurant last time it was amazing. How much is it for two people for dinner? I’m coming this weekend for the evening. For dinner again

Absolutely in live with Turkish food and this restaurant in particular. My daughter and I had amazing time eating delicious food and being served by friendly staff

Great place , great atmosphere.,, food always good , very large restaurant and always busy , been few times over the years never disappointed…. Thank you to management and staff 👍👍👍

Fantastic food and cocktails with very attentive staff

The Olive Tree is conveniently located on the main road near Milton Keynes station, with plenty of parking available (though it's paid). When we arrived, there was no one to greet us, and we had to ask a waitress if we could take a table. It was a Thursday evening, and while not packed, the restaurant was fairly busy. The Turkish music playing added to the ambiance, but it was a bit too loud, making conversation difficult. The staff seemed a bit distracted and weren't particularly friendly, but service was quick. I ordered a glass of white wine, which unfortunately tasted a bit sour. To start the meal, they offer complimentary bread with dips, which was a nice touch. The food itself was just okay. I enjoyed the chicken shish, but the chicken sarma had a strange taste and was overly spicy for my liking. The halloumi fries were delicious and very well prepared. We also ordered chilled mezes, but since they were pre-made, we couldn't make any adjustments—like leaving out the garlic from the cacik, for example. The portions were huge, which is a plus, but the baklava we took away had an odd taste and wasn't particularly enjoyable. All in all, while the food had its moments, this wasn’t the best Turkish restaurant I’ve been to, and the experience was a bit disappointing.

Without any doubt, this is the best restaurant in Milton Keynes, the service team and the restaurant atmosphere gives that restaurant a unique experience that you won't forget. I want to call out Hakan who always goes above & beyond to make sure we have an awesome & enjoyable experience.

Had a wonderful meal for my daughters 15th birthday. It's a Thursday at 6.00 and we had a fabulous meal. It was clean and all the staff were warm and friendly. They surprised us with a fountain candle in chocolate fudge cake singing happy birthday. The whole restaurant joint in. Lovely touch. The platter for 4 is certainly a great variety and was an adequate serving. Well done Guys

Great quick lunch, very reasonably priced

Lovely night with the girls great food

Lovely meal, quick service thank you 😊

Great meal and good service from Venky. Just turned up and was accommodated fairly quickly with friendly staff and good atmosphere

Super tasty authentic Turkish food. Excellent service and prices. Best in Milton Keynes!

What more can I say? Absolutely amazing service 💯%. The food is sublime and the staffs are very welcoming and professional. Will definitely be coming back! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

A great find, Venky was an amazing host. Had an amazing meal and desert. Would recommend it to anybody and the cheesecake is the best

Staff were very attentive, arrived for a 60th birthday and all the staff made such a fuss and made my whole family feel welcome and valued. To top it off, the food was amazing! Will be returning!

Visited with kids and friends, atmosphere was amazing staff super friendly and kids loved the food!

The food was nice and well prepared, the servers were all attentive and did great jobs serving us and the food came out really promptly. The restaurant was really busy so they did a great job to keep up. The only annoying aspect was the happy birthday music that blared out 4-5 times whilst we were there and made it difficult to have a conversation but only a slight thing for an otherwise great meal.

Always lovely food and friendly staff.

We had a lovely dinner Sunday evening and everything was amazing,fast service and food on top as always,we had Mixed Grilled Platter and our favourite dessert Kunefe

Food and atmosphere good. Waiter very rude when we did not tip.

Nice restaurant from the inside, with ample parking outside. This is a bit of a belated review, so I don't remmeber what my dish was called - it was a traditional dish. However, I do recall enjoying the meal. Would visit another time to try the charcoal grill menu.

The food at this place is amazing! All the ingredients are fresh and very tasty. Also, the people who are working there are warm and friendly!!

A very welcoming (complimentary bread and dip) pleasant Turkish restaurant where we had late lunch before heading to the Ice rink and it was busy and enjoyable. The service is basic but works (missing cutlery, pour your own drink the. need to ask for second round of drinks). My main course (Adana from the Charcoal Grill) portion size was small (2 small kofte) to average making the value for money mid range.

Great place to be, my second time. Seems to be my go-to place when at MK. If you love Turkish meal, you're better off visiting this place.

Great food good service by Eram tonight

Lovely meal staff very friendly

Very nice restaurant, the service is very nice, fast and competent. It was great. We felt very well looked after. The food was wonderful. The wine is a poem. Even the baklava was homemade, fresh and incredibly tasty! Conclusion... Always very happy

Went here with family for my brother's birthday and I absolutely loved the food! I would definitely recommend it to someone that wants to try Turkish food. Nice service too.

We recently traveled from London to Milton Keynes and had the pleasure of dining at The Olive Tree. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be returning to The Olive Tree next time we’re in Milton Keynes. Highly recommend!

Great food, great portions and very friendly staff.

This used to be one of my fav restaurants Food is still very good.. even if I noticed a bit of a change.. Service not great like few months ago...

Fabulous food 😋 and great value 👌

I'm really disappointed with my recent experience at Olive Tree, especially since it used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Has there been a change in the chefs? The food was super greasy, the rice was soaked in oil, and the meat was fatty and overly salty! Something went wrong, and I'm really disappointed because this used to be the best Turkish restaurant for me. Please review the chefs!
