About Olives
Tucked away along Naguru Drive, Olives has long been a reliable anchor for easygoing lunches and lively weekend catch-ups. The sprawling setup handles groups with surprising grace, making it a natural choice when you are organizing a birthday dinner or looking for a spot that keeps the kids happily occupied with a dedicated play section while you catch your breath.
The kitchen leans into crowd-pleasing comfort, turning out generous platters, loaded grilled chicken combos, and plates of glazed ribs that match the upbeat energy of the terrace. Behind the counter, the bar team stays busy pouring vibrant, creatively garnished cocktails and chilled champagne, particularly when the Tuesday specials draw a crowd. While service can occasionally stretch thin during peak rushes, the overall warmth of the space usually wins out.
It is the kind of neighborhood fixture where you can easily settle in for hours, sharing pocket pizzas or lingering over dessert as the afternoon slides into evening. Drop by whenever you need a relaxed meal without any fuss.

Olives is overall a good place, aesthetically pleasing, the food is good and it's brought on time basically around after 20 minutes tops, the drinks are overall worth it , I had a good time there though I must say the washrooms were abit off and not so hygienic buh otherwise I had a good time while there

food and drinks definitely worth the money. service is abit slow and getting seating past 6 pm might be abit hard as it is a popular spot and usually full. very nice music and ambiance. its always a lovely experience at olives.

Fantastic food and vibes! Olive has such a great atmosphere. The pizza is hands-down the best, the cocktails are delicious. Plus, the have a dedicated playing area for kids, making it the perfect spot for a stress-free family night out. Highly recommend!

Went with my mom, siblings and a few friends. The food was really bad and dry, not worth it. When we called a waitress and complained she went and informed her manager who later defended the food. The waitress later returned with 5 others and got spits around our sitting area and they were talking at the top of their voices and nasty attitude to intimidate us just because my mom had mentioned that it's useless paying for such food

I'd been wanting to come to olve restaurant for a while but was ultimately disappointed. The waiters seemed abit overwhelmed at lunch which was weird as the customers were few at the time. We had one lady serving multiple tables and struggling to keep up with them all. The orders were taken and the food was honestly underwhelming. The honey mustard pork was just drenched in honey. The honey took over the whole taste and ended up not being nice. My friends who ate the platter also said it wasnt great. The fries weren't well salted and felt like they had just been reheated. The cocktails seem to be the redeeming factor in this place. We loved the cocktails and people seem to come there mainly for the cocktails. Disappointed overall but on the positive the cocktails are nice
