Customer service was brilliant

"I been to some turkish restaurant 1st time and ordered for a mix platter. I had a very good experience. Service was excellent and food was really very nice and delicious. Presentation of food and customer service was brilliant. I wish I could have more then 5 stars for the olive lounge."

Leed's best kept secret

"So, on many occasions I have eaten Mediterranean Turkish food but this place is just the best . The grill, ribs, meats, salads, home baked sesame seed breads and desserts are excellent. My absolute compliments to this hidden jewel and Leed's best kept secret. Chef Sina is who to ask for."

The best Mediterranean food

"Absolutely amazing the Best Mediterranean Turkish Food. The Restaurant is beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. The food is 💯 and above. The staff are very attentive and really look after you. The chef is welcoming and the Food is out of this world. Will definitely recommend to everyone."

Hands down the nicest food around

"Hands down the nicest food around, and honestly the most fantastic service we've ever received. Kudos to the lovely waitress who simply couldn't do enough for us. Couldn't recommend this place enough, 10 stars."

Excellent food and fantastic service

"Excellent food and fantastic service. The decoration in the restaurant is amazing. Really trendy tables and chairs which are very comfortable. Supermarket downstairs has a wide variety of products that we love. Would definitely recommend"

Very good experience

"The starters and the mains were excellent. We had a cold platter with fresh naan and a meat platter for 2/3 people. In fact, the portions were enough for 4. The waitresses were very pleasant and checking on us to make sure we were fine. Very good experience, indeed."

Never had a bad meal

"Honestly the best Turkish restaurant in Leeds. Food is amazing never had a bad meal and I’ve tried everything on the menu and each time I have visited Olive I’ve had the best customer service and my food has always been on time and I have never ever been let down with my food or the service😁😁😁"

Warm and friendly service

"Yes a must! Very Authentic food, feels like you are in Turkey. Warm and friendly service and interior of restaurant is lovely. Ordered the £35 Tava Special more then enough for 3 people, abit of everything cooked to perfection 👌👌"

Outstanding service and quality food

"Outstanding service and quality food. Me and my family visited this restaurant and we really enjoyed the cosy/friendly atmosphere of the place and to top it all up, the food was to die for. Thanks and see you soon."

Authentic Turkish Cuisine

"If you want authentic Turkish cuisine this is the place. I had the Chicken shish with the bulgar rice, it reminded me of my holiday to Turkey they even do a Turkish coffee which is really nice. Friendly staff very relaxing surroundings and very reasonable pricing."

Fabulous place and great atmosphere

"I have been here quite a few tines with family and friends. It’s a fabulous place, great atmosphere, delicious food at a good price and friendly and hospitable staff. My lads say it reminds them of our holidays in Turkey."

Most amazing mixed platter for 2

"Arrived late at night without a booking. Had the most amazing mixed platter for two. Despite it being late they accommodated us with no issues and were happy and helpful all through our dining. It doesn’t look like anything special from the outside but it’s well worth a visit! Get down there. I will be going again!"
