Olive Tree Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar Restaurant in Milton Keynes

I like this restaurant. All the staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and, you can have a good time with family or friends.

This place never stops to amaze me with their service. We have been there many times earlier but every time we go, it's the better experience...this time we went with 5-6 kids as my friend organized her son's birthday there and it was a very good experience....good food, good ambience...and specially good staff..they were very friendly..😊 was really impressed with the service..specially 1 staff that I can never forget - Dereya.. she was so friendly with the kids and managed everything really well..would definitely recommend this place 👍

Very busy in here which is a good sign. However it was very noisy so not very relaxing. The food was nice but our food was not as hot as our should have been. Food Waitress was helpful and attentive drinks waitress didn't know what wine was what and struggled with English

We baby wait to come back. Very good service, good food too

We recently had a dinner for my son’s 3rd birthday and I have to say it was phenomenal. The staff especially Deraya was so warm welcoming and was super good with the kids. The food was amazing and it was a pre order she made sure we were getting everything in time and was really patient in regards of any new customisations☺️

Food and Staff are always excellent. If you go as a group of 4, get a platter and some starters.... it'll be more than enough.

Healthy and delicious. Fair priced and a very good service !

It is at times like this that I wish I had more stomachs! The food was absolutely gorgeous, and the staff were lovely, helpful, and attentive. We will be back! Thank you so much!

The food is always amazing here. Especially with the great food recommendations of the staff. Maria, our waitress, helped us with all our enquiries. 💯 🤩👌

Outstanding food & service! Best ever so far! Thank you!

One of the best places in The UK to have a decent feast

The service was delightful and the waiters sang me happy birthday with a complimentary brownie. As much as it embarrassed me it was very generous! Thank you Maria for being so attentive x

Came here for my Dad’s 50th Birthday Party. We had a private section for 50 People. We ordered a multiple selection of platters. Food was amazing. Hospitality was outstanding. We were very looked after. Would highly recommend 6/5 stars!

Extraordinary food, great service, friendly team, suprise extras

WOW what a great place, what agreat place. X

Always good food and better service. On a week day they have an affordable lunch menu that they serve quickly so you can carry with your working day. The range of Turkish food is wide and tasty. Amazing bread and sauces.

Went to Olive Tree yesterday 19/6 for the first time and all we can say is WOW. It was 5 of us for my birthday dinner and having been to similar restaurants before we was expecting the same sort of quality, but Olive Tree is by far the best Turkish Mediterranean in Milton Keynes! The food was cooked and seasoned to perfection and the portion size is massive. We all left feeling very stuffed and satisfied. We also was very impressed with the service we received, the interaction with our kids and constantly making sure we had everything we wanted. Best service we have had in a very long time from anywhere. Unfortunately we didn't get our servers name but he is a credit to your restaurant and deserves high praise. We was booked in for 18:30 on 19/06 and the receipt says table 50 so hopefully that can narrow down our server so you can pass on our appreciation.

Very nice And the ambience in the deck core on the whole area is lovely inside, The staff will very attentive and helpful the food was fresh and first class

Amazing food and service as always

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Olive Tree Restaurant in Milton Keynes, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As you walk in, the calming ambience immediately sets the tone for a relaxing meal. The decor is elegant yet welcoming, creating a perfect atmosphere for both casual and special occasions. The menu boasts a variety of both non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes. The selection of hot and cold mezze is simply breath-taking, offering a tantalizing array of flavours that are sure to excite any palate. Each dish is prepared with great care and attention to detail, resulting in mouth-watering creations that leave you craving for more. Among the highlights, the signature dishes deserve a special mention. I highly recommend trying the Salmon or the Emperor's Chicken – both are exceptional and showcase the culinary prowess of the chefs. Every bite is a testament to the quality and freshness of the ingredients used.The staff at the Olive Tree Restaurant are incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. One particular staff member, Gulcan, stood out for her exceptional service. Her helpful nature and warm demeanor added an extra touch of hospitality that made the dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, the Olive Tree Restaurant offers a superb dining experience with its excellent food, inviting ambience, and top-notch service. Whether you're in the mood for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Just wanted to thank you to the chef Onur Hanife for preparing those lovely dishes for the photoshoot and also the lovely Gulcan for helping me label the dishes. Thank you again and next visit will be with my Family. Best wishes Rudi

We recently celebrated a significant event with a party of 20 at The Olive Tree, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. This restaurant excels in accommodating large groups, providing an exceptional blend of atmosphere, service, and food that made our evening truly memorable.

Excellent food, staff very friendly definitely recommend this restaurant!!

Lovely food, friendly staff but dreadful noise and no place for quiet romantic meal if Mr and Mrs MK are out celebrating with the kids and neighbours.

Wonderful restaurant and the best food in Milton Keynes. Prawn guvec is to die for.😍Thank you for an amazing experience. The owner, Ibo, was very welcoming and friendly. We will see you again soon.❤️

Been a few times now and have not had one disappointment. Love the food, the service is very good and the pricing is fair.

Very delicious food . Highly recommend

Reserved online and got a call to confirm closer to the time. They kept a table for 8 even thought we were half an hour late. Excellent service from staff, attentive and quick. Food arrived really quickly and all together. Live singer but maybe unnecessary. Overall a great experience.

Delicious food and changed my order halfway through cooking, and it wasn't a problem.

Had platter for 2 of £50, 90% of the plate was rice, and some meat over it, the lamb ribs could not eat them as they were very hard… the rest of the meat compared to similar platters I had at the other Turkish restaurants only 2 stars…

Food is seriously sooo good here, if you love turkish and mediterranean food like I do. Great staff, was a little loud, but it was super busy, so no surprise there. Despite it being busy, we didn't wait too long for our food. Would definitely dine there again.

Food was delicious, service fantastic. Screaming children brought down atmosphere.. decor was fine. Loved our meal!

Loved the food , I had a traditional dish called Islim. And they have some other traditional options that I would like to try it next times.

Excellent service from all staff. Very welcoming smiles in a friendly environment. Our host Derya was honestly so lovely , she ensured everything was given to our table of standard . Food was so delicious 10/10!

We ordered food from Olive Tree and wow. It arrived piping hot, really well packaged and presented and absolutely delicious. The flavours are incredible - a new favourite spot for Turkish food!

Spent my 21st here and it was lovely. The staff were friendly and our host Derya was great. The atmosphere and food were wonderful. Can’t wait to come back here again :)

The food took a while to arrive but made up with the amazing flavors of the mixed grill The atmosphere was loud could be quieter

Visited as part of a large group, so was surprised how quick the service was. Lamb mousaka was amazing. Followed by a shared baklava. Great atmosphere, noisy and live music.

What a superb Resturant! Took a bunch of colleagues with me and they absolutely loved it! Food was incredible, only negative was that the dish (Emperors Chicken I think) was HUGE! Was a bit cold inside too. We had Gulcan looking after us and she was amazing! We will certainly go back again in the near future.

First time of trying this restaurant last night! Fantastic service from Hikmet and he’s colleague. The food was really tasty, we also really enjoyed the live singing too. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Milton Keynes now. I would definitely recommend to family & friends.

Good, consistent, quality food. Recommended. The desert ice-cream was really dull...however the baclava is amazing.

Best restaurant in Milton Keynes! Excellent service, friendly staff and food always cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend!

Loved everything about this place. We keep coming back and its been 4 years.

I want to talk about the food ... so f ing good the best I ever had in my mouth i will travel this far everyday for the mix grill It was like .... nevermind just say the best !! The staff was amazing I have a gluten dairy free allergen they catered to my every need My cousins birthday they made her feel so special. She even cried happy tiers. If you want happy vibes and the best food please go the staff are so caring amd catering without being over baring !!! THANK ME LATER !!!

Excellent food and service. Gulcan was so friendly and nice to my kids. They loved it.

Nice restaurant, but noisy when full.

Definitely one of the better Turkish restaurants in the area. Atmosphere is always vibrant, staff are friendly and eager to see to your needs. Food is mouthwatering and their mocktails are great. Looking forward to take my partner there. 😊

Had a very lovely dining experience, amazing food and even more amazing staff, especially Vasty.

Our first visit to this restaurant. We were made to feel welcome from our arrival. Our waitress Anna was friendly and very helpful, explaining the menu etc. Our starters arrived promptly and we're delicious. Main course was a sharing platter for two , again was delicious and plentiful. Anna and the team made a extra effort for me as it was a birthday meal, and made a special dessert and a very nice rendering of Happy Birthday. This restaurant is a comfortable and friendly where you are made to feel very welcome. Special thanks to Anna and the team at the Olive tree MK.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent food and service, can be busy and noisy, but great vibe Mains from 17 to 25

Food was lovely and our server was really friendly.

was lovely staff very friendly, food was lovely especially traliçe was so good

Had a lovely birthday lunch here. Derya did an excellent job of serving 9 people as well as taking time to take our photo. The food, as always, was delicious and the place itself is a delight. We will be back

Lovely food and very friendly staff, drinks are good and dessert was delicious

Great Restaurant, very rustic and cosy. Must visit! The waiter, Gulkan, was amazing, attentive and overall genuinely great.

The restaurant was so nice and the service was incredible Gulcan did an amazing job serving our food! I would recommend it 100%!! The food is so good and everything is too die for!

great spot and lovely staff, especially Gulcan who was so sweet to our whole table and was extremely helpful. Will definitely be coming back again. Loved it xx

Tasty food and nice service. The waiter, Gulcan was especially kind and accommodating. The restaurant has a nice vibe!

Lovely food and customer service! Would definitely come here again! Gulcan was a lovely waiter! I enjoyed the food especially because it really home!

Great location, very clean, lovely service, amazing place, really do share this with friends Gulcan was our waitress and a lovely lady!

great workers they were super polite especially Gulcan and the food was amazing - the place is really pleasing and it was an amazing experience. will recommend to my friends in the future !!

This is an amazing place. Gulcan is an amazing waitress. I reccomend everyone goes here at least once. All the staff are amazing.

Amazing Turkish cuisine! Well done! First mojito wasn't good! Replaced on the house! Customer service superb and with live music! Would defo recommend!!!!

the food here is delisious!!! Staff are friendly and service was good.a big thanks to Derya!!!

Great taste for Turkish food. Definitely recommend the place. Just as a criticism: Waiters was trying too hard to be friendly. They need to put half of their energy to quality of service rather than trying to be warm and welcoming.

Great place, the food and service was fantastic.

Great food very friendly yvonne

Amazing service from Venky, he was super pleasant as soon as we were sat. Really helpful with the menu, we’ve never been here before and he suggested a few things which were great!!! The food was delicious too, honestly some of the freshest tasting food we’ve had since moving to MK!

First time visiting this place and I have to say it was a very good experience. We wanted to try the most items so ordered their platters. For starter we had the hot and cold platter , and then another platter that had all the meats. For dessert , we had milk cake and the famous Bakhlava . They also served us Turkish tea ( on the house ) . Overall it was very good , the service was fast and good. The staff very courteous and friendly . We saw a few bdays being celebrated and the staff took part in singing and clapping.

What a lovely establishment wonderful family feeling, very warm and welcoming I’ll definitely be back. I can’t wait to come here to eat!

Food was nice but relatively small portions considering how much you have to pay. It was a busy Friday night which meant that the noise levels in the restaurant were pretty high so trying to have a conversation was hard work. Overall the staff were very friendly and professional and left a positive impression.

Lovely food at a good price and pleasant staff.

Lovely environment and tasty food

Best Turkish food I’ve ever had in England, even better than the ones in London!!! And the waiter called Suhail is brilliant, what a patient and nice boy! He is the best! Will definitely go back to the restaurant!

Not been for sometime and I'm glade to have revisited the whole night start to finish was amazing great staff great food and a great atmosphere finished off with a nice slice of birthday cake for the birthday lady 😋 and a nice crowd of staff singing... thank you see you soon jk

Excellent evening. Food was outstanding. Lots of choice with great staff available to guide you if needed. Decent price. Excellent portion. Really enjoyed the evening. Def recommend booking for weekend place was packed, which gave great atmosphere and didn’t affect service in anyway

This is one of the best restaurants in MK. Ordered a mix grill and it was delicious. The meat was juicy, even the chicken breast skewers.

Tkt#125182/ Table#55 /30/03/2024 *For our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. Thanks to Suhail for serving us. You asked the right questions and tailormade the occasion for us to have an unforgettable personal experience and we enjoyed every moment. We enjoyed the food. And the celebration cake and the candle light was another experience too. Suhail went further to help my wife to look for her earing which had dropped under the table. You made our day. We will recommend your service to our friends and we will come again.

Very good food. Nice choice of dishes. Very good service. Loads of tables. Clean toilets, loads of parking chairs and tables outside, All staff seems to be Turkish. Perfect as a Turkish restaurant.

My family and I were in Milton Keynes for a short break, I found this restaurant online and saw it had great reviews so we had to try it! I was not disappointed, in fact the place surpassed my expectations! Service and food exceptional. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great service by karya. Came with turkish family who agreed it was the best turkish food they've ever had outside of Turkey. Very impressed.

Unfortunately me and my friends (2 couples) had an incredibly rude waiter which is a shame as the food was fantastic but the interaction at the end ruined our evening and completely dampened the mood hence only giving 2 stars. Like I say the food was great. They did forget to bring out one of our sides which we had to go and ask for which wasn’t really an issue. When it came to paying the bill the waiter reminded us that a gratuity was not Included in the price, I paid for me and my partner’s food and added on the tip for the whole table’s bill he was watching as I did this and said thank you. My friend paid for her and her partner’s but didn’t add on a gratuity and the waiter was looking over at the card machine and questioned this asking her ‘did you click at the bottom?’ (which is the option for no tip) and he then said ‘that’s very generous of you’ and then he walked off. The name Haigan was written at the bottom of the receipt we received. Doesn’t sound like much but honestly this was incredibly uncalled for, unprofessional and really left a sour note for our evening. I’ve truly never experienced this at any restaurant before and would suggest perhaps a refresher is needed in training here. The food was great but unfortunately won’t be returning due to this Interaction.

Everything was quick, finding table, serving food, tasty food. But to get the final bill had to wait for atleast 45 mins and many reminders.

We have visited this restaurant several times and every single time the food, ambience and service are impeccable. They are especially hospitable to children which I appreciate immensely. Whenever I have friends or family visiting from out of town I make sure to take them here for dinner. I would like to say a special thank you to our server Ferhet today he was very attentive and service was top notch!

Perfect food that I actually craved for. Definitely recommend.

Very Good Place!! The food is obviously delicious and very filling, but the thing which amazed us the most was the speed and efficiency of service. The staff are friendly, the music is good, the décor is all around minimalistic but very Mediterranean.

Just brilliant 👏 everything was so good. Great selection of tasty traditional meals. The food presentation was great, the cocktails were great. The vibe was on point. The restaurant itself it well presented. The staff were really good. Fabulous and big thumbs up from us. Will be back.

I have been to the Olive tree restaurant before and as usual the food was delicious, I have to say I wasn't too impressed with the bread too garlic for me, but the main meal was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The drinks were good too and the service was top. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived( we arrived earlier) but it was busy by the time we left, the staff were very helpful. I haven't visited for a few years and am happy to say it is still top on my Turkish restaurant. Will definitely visit again with my family.

I've been rushed, even the restaurant had only 3 tables occupied and barely opened. The server ignored my order a few times, only a friend of mine(male) ordered for me, he listened. Loved the food but you need to keep an eye out for the service...

4 of us went there on Friday evening and we were served by a lovely gentleman called Suhail. I have never had such a brilliant experience, Suhail was extremely polite, very friendly, and very professional. He treated us like kings and queens, it was the perfect dining experience!! Well done Suhail, thank you for your excellent service! All the very best for you!!! ☺️

We ate here last night, although being extremely busy we had such great service. Unfortunately we didn’t get our waitresses name. We enjoyed our food, although I did feel that the quality was better when we ate here previously, on a quieter time. They seem to make birthday’s special for people, my children loved joining in the clapping.

Great place good service and the food is quality - try the lamb , wow !

The food here is delicious! Good presentation, fresh and full of flavour! I have visited the Olive Tree quite a few times now - the mocktails, cocktails and food were 10/10 everytime! There was one bad experience (which did not stopme going back again) with a waiter. If you go in a group and need seprate bills for work purposes, let them know when you place your order, not when you ask for the bill! Apart from that service and atmosphere is great!

I have come to the conclusion I dislike Turkish food 🤢 got the sharing platter for 2 which should be renamed bone platter... mostly chicken wings very disappointed and the hummus was bland and tasteless.

Great food and staff - I had one small problem with my drink but Staff quickly fixed it

Yum food, good for occasions, a little expensive

We had a dinner as iftar there. Since we put a note about iftar, we were treated exceptionally well and food was ready on time. I'd like to thank Gulcan and Venky, they were all around. Gulcan, with her cheerful smile, made our daughter comfortable and happy. We ordered Olive Tree Special and Beyti Sarma, they were really delicious. And the complimentary bread and dips makes you feel in a small Anatolian village.

Very child friendly, food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend, and will be back again.

The food was fantastic, however our visit was dampened by the conduct of the waiter when we were paying our bill. The waiter who was tall with curly dark hair, Haigan, made a comment about us not tipping. His remark was ‘very kind of you’ after asking us if we added a gratuity when paying on the card machine. We did not tip as one of our dishes was forgotten about and we had to ask about it and wait for it to come out. It was a bit shocking for a waiter to make a remark like this and was a real shame as the food was brilliant.

Friendly staff and good food. They have a selection of dishes that are cooked on charcoal - this is very apparent in the flavour 👍🔥 The staff are very friendly and the service is good. The food is quite expensive, so it's a treat rather than a regular destination. The downsides are that they do birthday celebrations a lot - maybe 7 times whilst we were there! It's a bit tacky - where they play birthday music and syst go to the table and clap. The men's toilets needed to be cleaned. Overall, a good restaurant. I have been there 4 times (including once for my wedding lunch!).

The food was excellent.. the staff were amazing .. and the menu is not overly expensive
