Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcome from the staff, describing servers who were friendly, professional and not rushed, including one who looked after a table of ten. The food comes close behind, with the Ottoman beef stew described as beautifully cooked and full of flavour, and the lamb guvec and lamb shank praised for generous, hot portions. Others enjoyed the veg and chicken sarma and the Olive Tree Special. Desserts also draw comment, notably the rice pudding and a caramel trilece, and one reviewer notes they are freshly made on site. A live singer adds to a lively atmosphere, and one family mentions colouring sheets from the children's menu. Several reviewers mention free extras, such as lovely Turkish bread with garlic and chilli sauce during the wait, and a cup of Turkish tea on the house at the end of the meal.

“Really enjoyable meal at The Olive Tree in Coventry. The food was excellent, particularly the Ottoman Beef Stew, which was beautifully cooked and full of flavour. A lovely restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Would happily recommend and visit again! Nisi and Sriya provided exemplary service.”

“What an amazing place... Huge. More than enough staff and how friendly and accomodating. Ami was lovely as was Casey, Maria , Inie and Yunus... The food was exceptional. We both opted for the Olive Tree Special. Worth every penny. BUT dont go before you try the desserts... That Rice Pudding was the tastiest I have ever eaten. Like all good restaurants should, a free complimentary whatever should be procided during the wait time... and here was no exception.. lovely Turkish bread to dip into the garlick and chili sauce.. In the words of Arnie ... I'll be back .”

“Exceptional service! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel like I was the guest of honour they'd been expecting all week! I was given very kind personal attention, especially by Volkan and a Polish waitress whose name I don't know. The food was very delicious and beautifully presented. They also surprised me with a free garlic bread starter and a cup of traditional Turkish tea on the house at the end. The restaurant has a beautiful interior which kept me occupied while enjoying my food. Overal, very satisfied with my visit. Will be coming back again. Highly recommended!”

“From the moment you walk in to when you leave, your made to feel very welcome. The staff were polite and friendly, the live singer was great. Our server was new to her role but she knew her food and recommended some amazing things for us to try. Ww felt we could eat at ease and was not rushed. The place was a little busy but the food and drinks came quickly enough. The food was tasty and the portion sizes were big. I will be returning as there was so much on the menu that sounded yummy 😋”
