    The Olive House welcome is always so warm. It's a family run restaurant and it feels that way. Service is always excellent as is the food and I think it has a good shout for being the best restaurant in Basingstoke.

    Everything was amazing! Food was the best I’ve eaten. Service was amazing and the staff were so kind. They loved to have a joke and a laugh with us. Would highly recommend.

    We came to The Olive House tonight to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and as always everything was perfect. We don't go anywhere else in Basingstoke.

    Our waiter kept forgetting what we were asking. I had to ask for a beer 4 times, and also the side I had requested to come with my main arrived after repeatedly asking for it. The atmosphere of the place is actually very nice. The food was worse than I anticipated based on the reviews. I'm a big fan of Turkish cuisine and this was probably my worst experience at a Turkish restaurant.

    The restaurant has a lovely feeling but in my opinion it was very over priced for what you got, 1 sml bottle of peroni £6.90, £21.50 for what looked like a childs dinner, I left there feeling hungry and for the large bill we got was very frustrating to have to go home and get something to eat. I will certainly not be returning there. The one at the top of town is alot more value for money.
