Incredible place to go for a beer, but one of the best Turkish restaurants in Milton Keynes. All food cooked at grill is recommended, despite the rest of the menu is very tasty as well. Live music on Fridays and good ambience.

Great food. Great vibe. Lovely staff. The bread was excellent and garlicky(and FREE!) Meat was extremely tender. There was a live singer - she was okay. 10/10 would recommend if you’re after good Turkish food and a nice vibe.

I had a wonderful dining experience at the Olive Tree restaurant the other day. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the food is fresh and delicious, especially the Ottoman Beef dish, which had a unique and memorable flavor. Service wise, Iram's warmth and attention to detail added so much pleasure to our meal and her friendliness and professionalism was very impressive. Highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again!

I had a fantastic experience at Olive tree and a big part of that was thanks to our waitress, Iram. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her warm personality and excellent service added to the overall dining experience. The food was great, but the hospitality made it even better. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely amazing food, grilled meat is delicious. Lamb is usually at the bottom of my preference list, but these guys can cook it in a way that moves it to the top. Shout out to their home made bread, garlic’y and I ended up ordering another plate. Highly recommend the Olive Tree 👍🏻
