Olive Bistro — Restaurant in Mumbai

Today we went to OLIVE Bistro. It is located on 3rd floor of Oberoi Mall - Goregaon. It has great ambiance and is gracefully decorated. It has beautiful seating arrangements and a big screen. It has got an apt environment to spend quality time with your friends and family. To each patron they give a box of sanitized splayds. This is a unique concept and displays the safety conscious attitude of the management team.

We ordered: Melon delight and Peanut butter and Nutella : Melon delight was refreshing. Watermelon is a summer fruit, which is healthy and tasty. It has lot of vitamins, antioxidants and very little calories. Peanut butter and Nutella has mainly four ingredients - peanut butter, nutella, milk and vanilla ice-cream. It was rich and decadent.

Mediterranean plate (veg) :The Italian cuisine is called Mediterranean which includes lots of vegetables, fruits, cereals and olive oil. This plate was humongous in size and was scrumptious. It contained hummus, tzatziki and baba ghanoush and was served with falafel and pita bread.Tzatziki is a dip of South east Europe and midddle east. It is made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, salt, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice. Baba ghanoush is an appetizer consisting of eggplant, oilve oil, lemon juice and tahini.

Cheese Fondue(veg) : Fondue was made with Swiss cheese, nutmeg and white wine. It was served with bread sticks, tossed baguette slices pita chips and garlic tossed vegetables. A baguette is a long thin type of French bread which crisp crust. The fondue was served on a continental candle. It was thick, tasty, delicious and a must try dish for all the cheese lovers.

Chicken wings in peri peri sauce : Six pieces of soft, tender, juicy chicken wings were tossed in the peri peri sauce. It was delicious.

Goan fish curry: It was chef's own Goan curry recipe with fresh surmai fish. It was served with rice, chopped onion and cucumber salad. The surmai piece was large and thick. The fish piece so large that it was difficult to accommodate it in the plate without cutting into parts. The gravy was rich, thick and tasty.

Mt. Chocolatius: Its a signature dessert of Olive Bistro. Warm chocolate is encased in its own bake and is served with white chocolate and orange ice-cream. Presentation of the dessert was extremely beautiful, unique and the taste was lipsmacking.

We were greeted by Mr. Raj and Akshay. Both were polite, well mannered and safety conscious.They helped us in selecting the best dishes to suit our taste buds.

Over all a must visit place for the ambience, food quality...

Olive Bistro is located in Goregaon East. Its on the 3rd floor of Oberai Mall opposite Farzi Cafe.

The ambiance is really classy because of the selection of lighting & different types of seating arranged in systematic manner. The place is decorated perfectly with little elements which sets a nice theme. Visited here on a week day, but the place was crowded.

Mr.Prakash made our experience really good & knows the menu really well & gave us good suggestions. The service was nice & the staff was really friendly.

The menu is specialised in serving European, Chinese & so on. Went here for 'The Burger Festival' & the set menu for the festival is really good. The veg & non veg dishes are perfectly balanced. The quantity & quality of the food is good. Price wise its worth it.

What I Ate ~ Appetizers ~ Baked Stuffed Mushrooms - One of the most famous & signature dish of OB. Ricotta & thyme stuffed mushrooms, baked with spicy tomato sauce & crispy couscous. Tasted really amazing. Everything was just perfectly. The mushrooms were super fresh & the sauce was good.

Grilled Portuguese Chicken - Chicken grilled in Portuguese style with spices served with mayo. The chicken was fresh & the marination was nice. Found the sauce a little watery, the chicken could been grilled for more time. Overall it tasted nice.

Burgers ~ Bistro Veggie Burger - Both the Burgers were served with potato wedges, caslow & salad. The bun of the Burgers were really good. The presentation of the Burgers were really good.

Veggie patty served with green lettuce, cilantro mayo with yellow cheddar cheese. The burger was awesome & really flavourful. The yellow cheddar & mayo tasted really well. The mayo was just great. Overall it tasted really great.

Bistro Classic Burger - Crumb fried chicken brea*t served with siracha mayo, green lettuce & egg. The patty was nicely done. The mayo goes really well with the burger. Tasted nice.

Dessert ~ Dark Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream- Perfect end to the meal.

Mocktails ~ Melon Delight. Kokum Ginger Story. Both the mocktails were refreshing & tasted really nice. The kokum mocktails is totally recommended.

So if you are looking for some great Burgers & good food. Do...

Couple of days back I watched Highway On My Plate where they recommended Olive Bistro of Hyderabad for Sunday brunch. While I haven’t been there but Olive Bistro recently opened in Oberoi Mall, Mumbai and we visited the place for a Sunday lunch after watching a morning show movie.

Ambiance:

The first thing you notice just as you enter the restaurant is maverick ambiance. Be it the saucers clad chandelier or a black VW van with random scribbling or wood framed menu – the restaurant shouts “maverick”. Even though it is in the mall, the glass walls ensured abundant natural lightening during day time which gave the overall ambiance a very fresh feel.

Food:

We ordered Eggs Florentine, Mild Cheddar, Corn & Jalapeño Croquettes and an All Veg Pizza. One thing which stood out was the plating which was very innovative. Full marks to chef for that. As we placed the order, we were served some schezwan style chutney in a stone vessel along with some bread. Eggs Florentine was simply brilliant. Eggs were poached to perfection and hollandaise tasted exquisite. Muffin base completed the dish perfectly. Mild cheddar, Corn & Jalapeño Croquettes was good. However, with such delicious appetizers, they were expected to push the paddle with the main course but that’s when they sort of applied the brakes. With them pulling off complicated recipes like Eggs Florentine, a decent pizza should have been a cake walk. However, pizza was disappointing as the veggies did not look fresh and were a little off taste. On top of that, we had to settle for maida (all-purpose flour) base, as wheat base was not available. Overall, they nailed the starters perfectly but looks like they need to work on main course.

Service:

Service was excellent. The food arrived very much in time and the staff was very courteous. What we also loved was the kind of arrangement they had for kids with a stroller for toddlers and a small chair with table and chalk for the kids where they can scribble anything.

All in all, Olive Bistro provides excellent food. However, I won’t call it value for money, given their rates which are...
