I had an amazing meal at The Olive Branch in Selby. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly, and the service was top-notch. I’ll definitely be going back!

We have been planning to try this place for a long time and unfortunately it really disappointed us. The service was great but the meals were way overpriced, small and tasted average.

We ordered the meze hot and cold starter £22 which had 3 dips 2 pieces of sausage and 2 calamari and 2 bread sticks with a bit of salad in the middle if we had ordered these individually they would have cost less than £20 what were we supposed to eat the dips with, who knows. We waited 40 minutes for the starters and another hour for the mains. My husband was asked if he wanted desert which he did and after waiting 30 more minutes for the desert menu we were told they had run out of all deserts. Two tables at the side of us left because they waited over an hour and no one took their order. Then the bill would have come but we had to go for it, then they tried to charge us £150 and tried to charge for a bottle of wine we did'nt have. Then it turns out they don't take card payments so I had to go to the cash machine and they treated my husband like a criminal while I did this I suggest the crime might be taking cash only! . The bill ended up being £130 which included £9 for soda. We've been here in the past but it's changed and not for the good. I'd also advice wear a coat because it's freezing.

Eat here for the first time. It was cold at first but we soon moved to a warmer table. The decor was very nice and the staff were really nice and friendly. All our food was very nice. Would happily go back there again

A wonderful warm welcome. The food was hot and delicious as usual. The dessert was tasty. A delightful place to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you

Lovely food, friendly staff but they seemed to be overwhelmed at what was a busy time.Some customers had been waiting a long time for food and even to order, which was a shame because the food was very good.The young staff seemed to need direction, which wasn't very evident.Once that is sorted, I'm sure things will improve.Vegetarian options: The moussaka was very good

Late - 2022 Great Turkish food, friendly staff and well priced. The Feta is especially deliciousNovember 2023 - I’m not sure what is going on here at the moment. As you can see in my first review above, we very much enjoyed this place. When I recently visited, the staff seem different, portions are tiny compared to what they were. Feta isn’t as nice. Mixed grill is lacking, cocktails were poor.Not sure if ownership, chef or team has changed or costs are forcing to reduce quality but our meal did not represent value for money or the quality it once was.

Was very disappointed with the food and slow service given that the restaurant was near enough empty, very pricy for the quality and service they delivered.
