Customer's reviews

At last a true Turkish-home cooking! Firstly, Olive House is very high quality and not expensive. So it is very good value. Secondly, I am a vegan and Turkish. I loved Olive House because they have so many traditional Turkish dishes which are naturally vegan. In addition to that they have veganised one of my favourites "Guvec" which is as delicious as meat version (see the picture). They were also very happy to use vegetable oil instead of butter in one of the dishes (just because I asked). They have a good selection of vegan deserts. Everything tastes just so delicious. This place is wonderful in so many ways. The whole atmosphere is amazing. You are welcomed with smiles, free olives and bread. The staff is incredibly friendly and they care so much about the guests. I would recommend it hundred percent. ~ Hulya Y
A wonderful dining experience! Had a fantastic lunch at this beautiful restaurant! The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. A special touch was when they moved us to the same table we had shared 8 years ago when the restaurant first opened- such a thoughtful gesture that made our visit even more memorable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a special lunch, a date or with friends and family, as in my case. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. We enjoyed a shared mixed hot starter, shared mixed main, and to continue the sharing, ordered cheesecake in two flavours, which they split in the kitchen for us. We tried something new to the menu: Avocado and Lime cheesecake - awesome! ~ Paula H
This is a family favourite restaurant. We all have a love for good Turkish food and we visit several times a year. This evening we have travelled from Tadley, Swindon and Haslemere respectively for a pre Mother’s Day celebration. Worth every mile and every minute as per usual. The welcome was warm and sincere from all the familiar faces. An obvious low staff turnover is always a good sign in a restaurant! Service of the highest standard and the food was absolutely fantastic as per usual! Great sense of humour and highly attentive. The running joke between the owners and I is that everything I order is sold out… never gets old! Always a pleasure and we look forward to coming my back again soon !! Highly recommended!! ~ Paul G
