Olive Bar & Kitchen

Great atmosphere, lively but quiet at the same time that gives a feeling of privacy and community together which is tough balance to achieve. Colonial style building and the pebble stones floor created a god vibe. Messe non veg platter was delicious especially the couscous, sour cream and baba Ghanoush. Pizza had the thinnest crust ever but toppings were average. Service was little slow , was tough to catch attention of servers. Overall a good serene place to visit and enjoy fine Italian and Mediterranean cuisine

Dining at Olive Bar & Kitchen in Mehrauli is nothing short of an artistic culinary experience. This season’s vegetarian showcase features stunning plates that turn humble ingredients into stars. Each creation, paired with airy interiors and rustic tables, makes the whole affair feel thoughtfully elevated yet deeply inviting. A couple of items that we had a chance to try are as follows: 1. Purple Mulberry Potato and Turnip Vibrant mulberry potatoes and tender turnip slices come together in a dish that’s as colorful as it is comforting. The chef’s plating lifts root vegetables into center stage, layering visually arresting hues with delicate, earthy notes. 2. Aubergine and Piementios Eggplant reigns here, roasted and paired with piementios, likely Spanish-inspired peppers. Every bite balances smoky, creamy, and sweet undertones, with a beautiful garnish that brings out Mediterranean warmth. 3. Seaweed and Avocado Fresh avocado joins marinated seaweed for a dish that is both creamy and briny—an appetizing start that feels clean and full of life. There’s a vibrancy from hidden citrus or greens that perks up every taste bud. 4. Mango and Brie The surprising duo of ripe mango and silky brie cheese arrives as a gentle fusion—whether in a salad or dessert, it’s playful, lush, and elegantly sweet. It’s the kind of flavor marriage that lingers pleasantly, making each bite memorable. Olive thrives on taking seasonal produce and pampering it with modern European flair, and the experience here is both soulful and sophisticated. Every dish is plated with personality, while the light-filled ambiance welcomes slow, lingering meals. Its a must try restaurant on the aisles of Mehrauli.

Olive Bar & Kitchen is not an ordinary restaurant, and it is certainly not inexpensive. This is a place for true food lovers — for those who come to experience flavors, textures, and atmosphere. It is important to understand that this is not an Indian cuisine restaurant. Some visitors coming to India might expect local dishes, and here you won’t find traditional Indian food. But that is not a drawback — it is simply a restaurant clearly focused on refined European and Mediterranean cuisine. The seafood selection is impressive, especially considering that high-quality seafood is not always easy to find. The presentation of dishes is elegant and thoughtful. Service is attentive, professional, and warm without being intrusive. To be honest, meat dishes are good, but not necessarily the strongest point of the kitchen. However, everything else — the salads, small plates, flavors, and overall execution — is excellent. The atmosphere is what truly elevates this place: live romantic music, candles, soft lighting, fire elements — everything creates a perfect setting for a special evening. It is an ideal venue for a romantic dinner or celebration. A small recommendation for future guests: don’t focus only on large main courses. Order several smaller plates and salads to share — this allows you to explore more flavors and enjoy the experience fully. A beautiful evening, exceptional ambiance, refined cuisine. Five stars.
