Tried the fish meze at blue olive and it was great. You get quite a good selection of fish. My favourite items were octopus, swordfish and calamari. I visited when it was relatively empty at around 4pm (pre-dinner rush) and the service was good but service is expectedly slower during busier times, so definitely worth factoring.

Food was tasteless. There are much better options available for Greek Food. Even had to ask twice for sauce to bring some flavour to the food. Chips were good though. Roast potatoes….I really don’t know how you can get this wrong but they tasted like they had been boiled (slightly) and then put in the oven for 10 mins…….. More

I concour with previous comment's about the food being bland. I had a monkfish kebab that had no flavour and one piece of pepper and onion. It was dry it could have been any type of fish ?? Salad dressing just like water and a few pieces of fetta cheese was charged extra. Chicken kebab similar but moussaka was tasty. More

Lovely atmosphere, staff and food. Had the meze and it was all so tender. Only thing I would say is food needed a bit of salt (I know this is preference) also the prawns were very soft but needed some sort of flavour - was hoping for a bit

So we heard about this Geek Restaurant online being one of the best in London. And the food is excellent . Good size portions and well priced, tastes of Cyprus/ Greece on a plate. The setting is lovely and the staff so so friendly. …

Lovely Greet place and traditional. Plus was sitting in a greek restaurant listening to Greek music gives it that extra traditional feeling! The food was amazing tasty from the meatballs to the pork Shish. Only slight let down was new

In the past I’ve been here a fair few occasions and had a really nice meal, however I dined here recently for Father’s Day and received a very poor experience. At first, they had run out of our top 2 choices for dinner.

Great evening with friends, group of 10 of us. Service was exemplary and so was the food. Haven't been for ages but won't be leaving it so long next time. Back in love with this place, thank you The Blue Olive. More

I've eating here many times and the food has always been on point. I've attended with friends and family and neither have been disappointed. The food always tastes good and there is a variety to choose from.

  • Chris A

Really awesome food, I highly recommend the seafood meze, you get a lot of delicious seafood, calamari octopus prawns etc and a few different types of fish. Staff are really nice,helpful and always smiling.

The meze was excellent. Plenty of it and very tasty. One person had the sea bream which was very big and very tasty. Would be a good venue for a larger gathering. Parking nearby was Ok (Sunday). More

Really nice restaurant, very good food and very welcoming staff. It was a busy night so took a little time to get a drink, hence 4 stars for service, I may be being a little harsh, though.

Food is delicious but service is truly exceptional. Was there yesterday and the lovely young man with glasses made sure we had an amazing Sunday meal. Will definitely be coming back! More

Good quality food and service. Wasn't too busy on the day we went, we were greeted and shown to the table. The food and drinks came out fairly quick, we didn't need to wait around.
