The kitchen was very clean and the service was pretty good. Their chicken shish was really good!! And the best part that will make me visit them again was the dessert options, we tried the pista leaf and the milk cake which was the best!!!!

The food was lovely as was the atmosphere (nice booths, lighting and music at just the right volume in the background). The service was excellent and all of the staff were attentive and checking if we needed anything but particularly our first and last server Yilmaz. Would recommend eating here :)

Great food & attentive service. The interior was slightly darker than I’d have gone for as it was a very sunny day outside but inside was a bit darker than I’d. That wouldn’t stop me from going again though - food was brilliant!

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!

Booked a table for the family and the service was brilliant. From start till the end. We ordered food but forgot to order for one person. Thank you to our waitress who put our order first for an extra main.

Lovely succulent food, pillowy rice, kind and considerate service. Our waitress Iram was cool. Would recommend although felt vicarious embarrassment from the opposing weatherspoon customers. Do they have no shame? Inshallah the employees are paid well. The fall of Constantinople was well worth the sacrifice for my privileged appetite. Also the Turkish tea loaded with enough sugar cubes to contract diabetes slaps harder than an Arda Guler top bin screamer at the World Cup.

me and my friend had our lunch at Olive Tree and this was our first time at Olive Tree. I often walk past this restaurant but never had a proper chance to eat in. We ordered mixed grilled meat and hot meze. Their food was amazing and their customer service was great too. Especially one of their staff named 'Pram' treated us so kindly. We will definitely visit here again soon..!

Yesterday, my husband and I went to our favourite Turkish restaurant in Milton Keynes – Olive Tree – and once again, it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely amazing, full of authentic flavours and perfectly cooked. A special thank you to Inci for the superb service – she was so warm, attentive, and made our evening extra special. Highly recommend this gem if you’re in the area!
