Greek Olive

I visited the Greek Olive on the recommendation of a Greek colleague and it definitely exceeded the recommendation! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by very friendly staff, who welcomed me to the family-run restaurant with genuine smiles. I quickly noted a variety of customers from birthday parties, families, couples, friends and locals popping in for food. I thought this boded well for my experience and I was so right!

Three very generous starters of aubergine dip, prawns and sausage were served quickly. The prawns were big king size ones and there were so many of them! They were absolutely delicious but it was such a huge portion (think main course serving and then some!) that I was forced to share. The aubergine dip was lovely. Followed by the ribeye steak (cooked perfectly rare) and halloumi skewers. Both mains were again very generously portioned - see photos - but sadly were not finished due to the sheer portion sizes. We were then offered, on the house, tasting portions of dessert; apple in pastry. They were warm, crispy and delicious, however, one remained uneaten due to being so full. Overall, the Greek Olive is a wonderful, genuinely local restaurant offering very good food and incredible value for money. I will definitely be returning but having learnt from the above, will probably share one starter between 4 people or forgo a starter altogether so I have room for my main!
