A pleasant evening with work colleagues. The staff were really attentive but not intrusive. We shared two of the mezze between the six of us. A good selection of typical Turkish fayre... The hummus and bread were particularly delicious. I had a mixed plate of various meat. All perfectly cooked and a good size portion. No-one had room for dessert... Maybe next time.

The Olive House is a fantastic restaurant serving authentic and delicious Turkish cuisine in Basingstoke. The cozy ambiance and warm decor make you feel like you’ve been transported to Turkey, adding to the overall dining experience. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. I ordered the köfte, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The lamb guvec was rich and flavorful, while the Adana kebab had just the right amount of spice. To finish, I had the baklava and a traditional Turkish coffee—both were an absolute treat! If you're looking for a great Turkish dining experience, The Olive House is definitely worth a visit!

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!

One of the best, if not THE BEST place to eat at in Basingstoke. A superb nicely decorated venue with warm and welcoming, always smiling staff. The food was delicious and we will certainly return soon. Bonus points to Ellie for serving us and chatting to us.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Friendly and helpful smile. As soon you crossed the door, you are received with a warm welcome and big smile, Food is tasty and good portions. Lots of vegan options available.
