Olive Bar & Kitchen, Delhi
My review of Olive Bar & Kitchen in Delhi — good food, drinks and atmosphere with its own unmistakable charm.
Olive Bar & Kitchen, Delhi Review
My Take
Olive Bar & Kitchen has its own charm, and that is probably the easiest way for me to describe why I enjoyed it. The food is good, the drinks work and the crowd gives the place a pleasant social energy. It feels like somewhere you can go to spend an evening rather than simply somewhere you go because you are hungry.
At the same time, I wouldn’t oversell the food. Don’t arrive expecting an extraordinary culinary experience that will completely change your opinion of dining in Delhi. That’s not why I enjoyed Olive. For me, the combination is what works: a good meal, drinks, a decent crowd and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay for a while.
That gives it a 4/5 in my book. It’s a place I would happily return to for the overall experience, even though I wouldn’t necessarily call every dish extraordinary.
What Stood Out
Olive has enough charm, food and atmosphere to make an evening enjoyable. Its strength is the complete experience rather than culinary perfection.
Who Should Go
Couples, friends, business dinners and anyone looking for a stylish evening with food and drinks.
Verdict
4/5 — A good Delhi hangout with character. Not extraordinary, but consistently enjoyable enough to deserve a 4/5 from me.
