Been going for years and it’s best marinade/grill by far, in fact everything I’ve tried has been good for both lunch and dinner, plus the staff are always warm and friendly, definitely worth going to both with friends and family!
This is mine and my Daughters second visit to this lovely Turkish restaurant in the heart of Leytonstone E11.We really do enjoy the good food here and the amazing service we receive.I would thoroughly recommend this delightful place to my friends if they fancy a nice meal out ...,,,, Tracey from Walthamstow �☀️��
Absolutely fabulous meal today... We dropped in on way back from the stadium in hope of a good meal and 8 of us including 2 kids and some picky eaters had a wonderful meal, very friendly staff and great value. Thankyou!
Best and excellent foods in leytonstone .friendly staff .recommend to everyone.
Adorei o restaurante, a comida e o staff. Foram muito atenciosos, gentis e educados. Almoçamos uma vez e pedimos o jantar, em casa, duas vezes. Antes de viajar de volta, voltarei lá. Super recomendo!
Went here with friends for a meal. We had an amazing night. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious. Will definitely be going back to eat here.
Came here with my fiance for our anniversary meal. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. We will definitely be coming back.
Fresh and testy food,quick service,friendly stuff,good prices,would recommend !
Gr8 staff very welcoming, very cosy venue. Orders taken quickly food as described fresh, hit and very tasty. Went for friends 50th, staff took photos for us and joined in with the cake eating lool. My only moan would be no apple tea. Easy to get to on public transport I'll be returning.
Great service, amazing food and acceptable prices! Cozy atmosphere and pleasure guaranteed!
Tried THE OLIVE for the first time and it was a wonderful experience. Veg Mussaka turned to be to a great dish with Garlic Mushroom as side dish. Me and my husband really liked the place, taste and quality of the food and would definitely go to THE OLIVE for another meal.
Welcoming service and a versatile menu with food well prepared, Efes beer and nice wines available. Outside terrace and helpful, friendly service.
Not too sure what the moaning is about - this place is great! The food is delicious and the prices are great too.
We visited on a busy Saturday evening & had no problem getting a table. The staff were very friendly & attended to us very quickly. We decided to go for the Hot Meze Platter for two & everything was really tasty. I recommend The Olive!
Popped in here as it's on my walk home from the station and as a fan of Mediterranean food, had always been curious about it. The interior is clean and simple.
Between two of us, we shared the Mixed Hot Meze starter and the Olive Special Mixed Grill. So basically, a whole lotta meat. All of it was well-cooked and decently spiced, and the rice was actually fantastic, particularly where the juice from the meat had lightly soaked into it. However, the salad was unfortunately covered in a HUGE helping of red cabbage, which I'm not a fan of - and there weren't many leaves underneath either.
I did feel that value-wise, it was a little pricey for the amount we got, and we weren't told that the sparkling water poured into our glasses would be costing us an extra £3. Otherwise though, I did really enjoy the mezes and would head back, although probably opting for one of the standard a la carte dishes instead.
Lovely relaxed environment. Great food and staff. Will definitely be going back again soon.
Amazing place. Always friendly, and the food is the best in Leytonstone!
The food is DELICIOUS!!! The staff is friendly, restaurant is clean and cozy! Highly recommend!
A very enjoyable evening sat outside the Olive in Leytonstone in a cool summer breeze. If only it were situated on some exotic beach front - instead of a busy polluting noisy High street... nevermind.
Just close your eyes and enjoy the food and drink...and hopefully your good company.
We ordered a bottle of House Red with four glasses and two 'Sharing' platters, One was hot food with a fried selection and the other was a selection of cold dips. It was perfect!
It all came to around £50 which included a service charge.
We're looking forward to returning again and trying out some other dishes...
Recommend 🌟
Good restaurant offering various meze combinations. Vegan and vegeterian options available, mucver and aubergine salad are the best. Nice staff and cosy atmosphere.
Very tasty Turkish food, cooked and presented with care. Nice atmosphere, especially sitting outside watching the world go by on a sunny evening.
The service was a bit inconsistent but the manager was particularly helpful and explained that they were short staffed which accounted for the wait between courses.
This aside, I would strongly recommend The Olive for authentic Turkish food at reasonable prices.
Food was mouth watering. My lamb just fell off the bone 🍖 good service and price will definitely go again. 👍
Lovely place, right by the leytonstone station, East London. The bus is right on the opposite side and so is the underground.
They serve Turkish/Mediterranean food.
Service was great.🥳🤎
Seating both indoors and outdoors😊
I really enjoyed it. Brilliant customer service. I ordered the lamb ribs which were exceptional and presentation was on point. Mrs went for the lamb moussaka which was really good, nice portion too. For starters we went with the garlic mushrooms, which seem to vary by restaurant, again it was something I thoroughly enjoyed, usual bread and salad were provided. Baklava was lovely and the kids were spoilt with free ice cream too. Would definitely recommend this place and would most certainly visit again. Halal of course.
I visited the restaurant for my mum's 60th birthday. All of the staff gave their best to make our day even more special as they checked up on us often if we need anything. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent as well as the cocktails. Highly recommended place to visit!
Came here with my auntie for the first time.
The staff were friendly and welcoming the food was amazing.
Defo recommended.
really enjoyed my food here today. was able to sit outside and enjoy the sun on a nice warm sunday. our host was lovely and accommodated our needs as well as she could. food was of a good size and the menu had loads of traditional turkish dishes at reasonable prices. I had the prime lamb burger which was very juicy indeed. came with well cooked chips. my partner had the beef doner kebab with rice. we also enjoyed some lahmacuns which came with a great side of salad. it was all halal too! do recommend for a nice quiet lunch to any locals that are milling about the area :)
Very good food, generous portion and great service! So glad to have this local restaurant, will definitely visit regularly.
My favourite restaurant! I'm a regular here and always order the mezze selection and double up on tzatziki and kisir instead of houmous and saksuka. Food is always fantastic and service is great too! Yum!
A fantastic evening, amazing food, so tasty and very reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly and accommodating staff. Thank you.
A fantastic little Gem of a Restaurant situated opposite the Underground station. A regular choice of mine. Visited again today 5/7/20 and all of the staff are wearing masks, taking track and trace, disposable menu, and holding each plate with a fresh Knapkin.
I come to the olive every Friday with my dad for the last 4 years. Its the highlight of our week spending time together.
The food is great always on time and cooked to perfection. The chicken wings, chicken liver, mucver are some of our favourites. But the list goes on.
Onur is great and all the team are fantastic and super friendly.
I highly recommend coming down to have a good time in the sun out the front or a cosy meal indoors when the weather gets colder. 😁
Finest place in leytonstone to have a Turkish food , but this time I had it beef burger & I would say it is far better in taste than all the known burger brands around . Hats off to their chef and ambience is also elegant. Must visit place when you come around this place . Totally worth the price . Keep it up guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
