Restaurant offers an authentic culinary journey through the flavors of Nepal, right in the heart of the city. From the welcoming ambiance to the delightful dishes, this restaurant is a gem for anyone looking to explore traditional Nepali cuisine. Restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned with traditional Nepali art and decor. The soft lighting and comfortable seating create a cozy environment that is perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The service at Olive Restaurant is exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.Ram was the best for me today it was only a half hour before closing we went asked if its okay to takeout since I finished work so late.They are eager to share their insights and make recommendations, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. And not even hesitant to serve us and allowed to be seated and enjoy the dinner Our server went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable, explaining the ingredients and preparation methods of various dishes. The menu at Restaurant features a wide of traditional Nepali dishes, each prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We started with the Momo, traditional Nepali dumplings filled with spiced meat and served with a tangy tomato chutney. These were simply delicious and a great way to begin our meal. Star of the day 10/10. For the main course, we opted for the fried rice and butter chicken with Nepali chicken masala. There is also a variety of beers and wines available for those looking for an alcoholic option. I had mock tail mango flavoured which so good. 😍🥰Thankyou Ram !! Thanks to Olive

Highly recommend :) ✨Food is always amazing ✨Flavours are super tasty ✨Spicy level is 👌🏽(we always get med/spicy) ✨Cleanliness is good, clean and tidy ✨Staff is super friendly and welcoming. We are regulars here and the staff are always kind and friendly and suggest new things to try which is nice too. But if we don’t feel like trying something new, we will stick with some of our usuals. The service is good. Food comes out in a good reasonable time. If you order a lot but you want all your food to come out at once, just let them know. They are considerate about the timing of when to bring the next dish for you so it doesn’t get cold which is nice :) but we always want our food all at once or around the same time, we just keep forgetting to say bring it all at once lol but so far no dramas :) The images I’ve attached have been our go to ever since we’ve been regulars here. Most of the food we’ve tried are vegetarian based and the staff are helpful when it comes to dietary requirements. I definitely highly recommend Olive. The staff are very nice, helpful, the food is tasty and amazing, the music in the background and the atmosphere tops off the experience. Do try it out. We can’t get enough of their food :) if I could eat this everyday, I would 😅🙈 *These are the only pics I had on this phone. There’s more on my other phone.*

I recently celebrated my niece’s second birthday at this restaurant, and I must say it was an excellent choice. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was perfect for a celebration, perfect party size area, perfect size area for chic and sophisticated decor style set up. The service was outstanding, with the staff being attentive and friendly. The staff even went out of their way to take a group photo for us to commemorate the occasion. Now let's talk about the food. Oh my, the food was simply delicious! The menu offered a variety of options. The mutton curry, chicken chili, dumplings, noodles (to name a few) were a standout. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or just a casual dining, take outs. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch, and we couldn't have asked for a better birthday celebration, and everyone had a great time. The combination of excellent food, impeccable service, and a lovely ambiance make it the perfect place to create unforgettable memories. We also did dine in, take out, multiple times during our stay in Auckland, and this restaurant never disappointed. Me and my husband look forward to returning in the future when we visit again from USA 😊

We recently hosted an exceptional event at Olive New Lynn. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed time with family and friends. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and all staffs were very helpful and polite. The food was the highlight of the event—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Chicken sekuwa was particularly impressive, cooked to perfection with a delightful balance of flavors. All our guests who attended the function loved the food and service. The owner and all staffs including head chef were very kind, helpful and had a can do attitude. They catered to all our requests efficiently and we are very grateful for such hospitality. Overall, Olive New Lynn has exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience and hosting special events. We will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you to the wonderful team ❤️

A bit disappointed with our lunch here today. We ordered the lunch special to takeaway with mild butter chicken for our kids. We wish we had known that the lunch special is only a half sized curry and not a normal menu sized curry because we would have just ordered from the menu instead. We were then disappointed again when we opened it and saw that the container was quite underfilled. Unfortunately the curry came really spicy for a mild and was more like a medium so the kids couldn't eat it in the end anyway. The taste itself was OK. A thicker more tomato based gravy which I quite like but if you are hoping for "mall butter chicken" like my husband enjoys, this isn't that type.

Went for lunch and tried the chicken tikka masala and for a lunch special the portions were perfect, very good value, came with rice and some delicious naan bread. They provided my own water pitcher and glass. Comfy chairs and friendly, professional service. Got the menu from the staff who kindly highlighted several dishes to try in the future to get a real taste of their Indo-Nepali cuisine, such dishes I look forward to trying as: Chilli Momo, Chilli Chowmein, Lamb Choila, Goat Curry, and the Olive Special (chef’s special recipe). They also do free delivery within 2km ($30 minimum order). Great location, eager to return!
