Amazing food amazing service would highly recommend!. Staff were eager to please. The only thing is as they collected the starter the mains arrived at the same time. It would have been nice to have a small break between starter and the main. But apart from that it was great !

The flavors were exquisite, with a perfect balance of spices and fresh ingredients. Every bite was a delightful journey for my taste buds. Overall, my experience at this Turkish restaurant was nothing short of perfect. From the impeccable service to the outstanding food, everything exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and delightful Turkish dining experience.

I had an amazing birthday celebration at this restaurant last night! It was my first time here, and despite the quiet exterior, the inside was bustling with people. The service was fast, the food was fantastic, and the prices were reasonable. Don't miss out on this gem—I'll definitely be coming back again!

I took my mom for a day out.. The best part of day was dinner at Olive tree restaurant.. We loved the environment, their hospitality and service... We had drinks 1st they were tasty and refreshing (photos attached).. We got complimentary garlic bread which was fresh and very tasty would want it every day, served with sauces which were delicious!!! Dinner and starters were also fresh and delicious... Attendants were so friendly and efficient , service was great.. Owner was also very friendly and kept checking around for services and if everything is fine.. Came himself to our table twice.. We were looked after very well.. Would highly recommend this place, be it family dinner/friends day out or just drinks.. Turkish tea after the dinner is a must have..
There is ample parking just beside the restaurant although its paid parking but cheap rates.. Location is great and easily accessible...

A new day. A new city. So definitely a new place to eat. Turkish or Mediterranean cuisine has mostly been a front runner on our top list of cuisines.
Olive Tree has a cosy setup with a warm ambience. We settle in and take a while to glance through the menu that offers an interesting take on some authentic Turkish dishes. We settle with the Lamb Guvec and Chicken Beyti and a glass of Ayran to satiate the taste buds.
The Lamb Guvec has tender lamb chunks lathered with tomato, peppers sauce and melted mozzarella cheese with a nacho crisp and served on a hot clay dish. A flavourful rice and salad gives the perfect accomplishment.
The Chicken Beyti (I imagined it to be wrapped up as a roll but that's Beyti Sarma on their menu) was a chicken mince kofte blended with the perfect set of spices and served with the flavourful rice and salad that just makes you go to the next bite quickly.
Let me not forget to mention the buttery garlicky bread served with accompaniments once the order has been placed that just melts in your mouth.
Would definitely get back here when I visit Milton Keynes again

Waiting services can be improved big time but due to over all experiance I'm going for 5 star.
Parking is no problem.
Female live singer was great.
Must go place in MK.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Portions were very generous. Had the large mix grill to share and the lamb was a little too tough for me. Complimentary bread was really good. Would have enjoyed more sauce with the meats and rice, was a little too dry for me.

Our first visit to The Olive Tree after hearing multiple good reviews. We were impressed with the welcome and the decor, the menu choices and the cleanliness.
The homemade lemonade is delicious, the Turkish lemonade also a delicious soft drink.
We chose the 2 person sharing platter, some halloumi and cacik. Huge portions and very very delicious. Even the rice tasted great.
The finishing touch was some complimentary Turkish tea which we loved!
Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

It's that old chestnut - when you book a table for 7:30, is that the time you arrive or the time you sit or the time you order?
On arrival at 7:10 we were parked up in a foyer area 'you've got a bit of time yet' it would have been nice to have been offered a drink;a missed sales opportunity for them. In their defense, a couple of the team did acknowledge our presence, they were VERY busy and we were actually seated a few minutes early - just not the best initial welcome.
We were very fortunate to have Eram look after us. She is so attentive and picked up on the slightest hint that we needed attention. What an asset to the team, and as things quietened down we had the pleasure of a short chat with her - charming lady.
The excellent food arrived so quickly - we'll done to both sides of the pass!
The drinks;sadly a different matter I was well through my meal before our Raki arrived and that was only after several times of asking
And how very nice to get the bill and find that a service charge had not been auto-added leaving it to our discretion to thank for service above and beyond.
Would love to have been able to give this amazing restaurant 5 stars!

Been recently for a work dinner with 8 colleagues on a Tuesday night.
It was surprisingly busy and packed.
Service was decent but nothing great.
Food was decent too, if you like grilled meat with chips / rice.
Again desserts were decent too !
Overall .. a good place especially if you like meat and rice / chips type of food
Verdict - 4/5
Budget- easily £40 a head with 1 beer can go more expensive depending on how much booze you have I guess
When we were about to leave .. they somehow poured the leftover oil somehow in a tank / drain where there was maybe some meat was left. The whole restaurant started to stink and left a sour taste / smell.

The experience at Olive Tree was bliss, I absolutely love it. The meals tasted great, and the service was wonderful. Got a complementary appetizer, and I cannot express how wonderful the taste was. The meals were also fast to be served, but maybe because we were early. I absolutely recommend this place.

Disappointing experience in an olive tree. We normally go in towcester and love it there usually always 5 stars. This experience in Mk was completely different. Food dry chicken gloopy moussaka and service disappointing given incorrect drinks twice and wrong food at one point. Seemed v unorganised making this experience seemed like a different place to what is normally 5 stars to 2 stars � shame really was looking forward to it
Marina Podobed
Very cosy place with turkish decor and according music. Big variety of meat, seafood and veggie options - 5� on the menu. Was very pleased with freshly made vegetable and meat dishes. For mains we have ordered Mixed vegetable grill and Olive Tree special. Everything was professionally presented and served. Can’t say a bad word even if I really try. Definitely worth a visit. Thinking to come back.

Ate here last night with my boyfriend. We ordered mixed shish - lamb cooked really well, so I assume things have changed since previous reviews.
Decor and atmosphere is really beautiful with all the coloured glass and brass. I'm genuinely SO PLEASED to see a new restaurant that isn't a chain be so busy on a Thursday night...
However, if I have to compare to the equally as successful Turkish restaurant only a few miles away away (Antep Kitchen Wolverton/Capadocia Newport Pagnell) the other two food wise really out shine Olive Tree.
Menus are incredibly similar throughout all three, but the portion sizes at Olive Tree compared to the other two I actually found quite cheeky. The Mixed Shish was £13/£14 and for that I got 4 cubes of chicken and 4 cubes of lamb, on a tiny round plate, with a tiny, basic salad and rice. I would have been quite p*ssed off if I'd have chosen just chicken shish.
The staff were very attentive and I was really impressed with how fast the food came out - the kitchen view is really impressive.
It was great to try out as a new place in town, but when I fancy Turkish cuisine again, I'll choose one of the others as I hate feeling ripped off. If the plate of food was £7/£8 I would go regularly and probably be inclined to order multiple side dishes too.
I know restaurants are businesses and have to make a profit, but there is a line where management get greedy or dishonest and it really isn't fair on the fab people you have working your floor as they really do you proud.
Asia the waitress, especially - thank you. You asked me plenty of times if everything was okay - I just thought it better to review after the evening as I could see you were very busy �

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and good food at a reasonable price. Ugne, our waitress was extremely helpful and knew a lot about all the different food on the menu.

Just ate at the olive tree, our waitress Irina was amazing and very tentative. The food was wonderful, the chicken in my dish was very tender and came out steaming hot. The atmosphere was nice with a background singer. It Was great to see the manager hosting and looking after the staff as well as the customers. We will be back �

Having just got home from olive tree, I had to quickly get on Facebook and write a review. I have to say was one of the best meals I have had. The service was unreal!! So friendly, so polite, and their tolerance of children was amazing. Our waiter Hikmet was just unbelievable with our 2 year old son, picked him up for a cuddle, helped him with his food.
The food was fantastic. Such authentic Turkish flavour and am now stuffed.
Literally can't fault the place and will defo be going back again.
Well done Olive Tree.

Fantastic!!! We went for dinner last night and it was amazing. The food is fab, the atmosphere was vibrant and the staff are impeccable. All staff were lovely and very helpful and pleasant. Our waitress was Bianka and she looked after us superbly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food is amazing and I can see why this is a high rated establishment. This is now one of our favorite places to go.
Gordon Impey
Went on Monday evening, and it was fairly busy. Seated quickly, all 4 dinners were very good, and superb service from Nadine.
Would recommend the Beyti Sarma. My partner had Emperor Chicken and really enjoyed it, although it was a bit sweet for my taste. Will be back!
