Olive Indian Cuisine in Camden

Stumbled upon this Indian restaurant on way back to hotel. Good traditional curries made fresh. Chicken balti, chicken tikka, rice and garlic nan. Very tasty and just what was required. Very good price considering location, two curries, two rice and two nan plus two Diet Coke for under £40. Will return next time I am in London.

In London on business - sick of sterile chain eateries so sought recommendation from my hotel and they highly recommended Olives Indian Cuisine so I gave it a go and am I glad I did. Great food, nice relaxed atmosphere and authentic great service. So in turn I recommend Olives Indian Cuisine to you and I am sure you will not be disappointed - Enjoy Gerry

We’ve been 5 times and the food is always delicious and the staff extremely nice !! The place is cute and worth it !

Pedir comida Martes, 1 de mayo. Nos registramos el estatus en el tiempo estimado de entrega y sus seguía pendiente. Intentamos llamar al restaurante, pero estaban cerrados, aparentemente el chef toma eso día (no anuncian esto, así que ten cuidado)

Decent Indian, nice food quick service, well priced, small restaurant, they make most of their money in takeaway, so always seating available. Would recommend for a quiet night with the other half.

What an amazing restaurant food was amazing, staff where really friendly, the young waiter was really chatty and made us feel welcome. It is a little gem we will definitely be going back when we next go to london

Best indian food ever... Achari chicken... was perfect, can't stop thinking about it. And the servis was great...

The location is very central and nice deco of restaurant. Not sure why people complain that food took longer. Don't you expect your food to be fresh then please stop complaining . How can a chicken or lamb curry be cooked in 20min I loved the variety of food which I ordered and my bill came to £40 which was a bargain for me. They do all types of food even for vegetarians. The new management has done a good job in renovating the whole restaurant, the chef has been changed new waiters, nice decor, good for after work meal or meeting. Very friendly and food provided in good time which was fresh, very clean kitchen. Don't be put off by negative reviews, you need to try it out before you can judge it. Enjoy. xxxxx

Great food and service, really enjoyed

I ordered the tandoori chicken and chicken saag. Was nice and tastey. Would order again. Thank you.

London has exquisite Indian eateries. We chose this one for the location mainly as we had business in the area. Not sure about the experiences of those who slammed this place on TripAdvisor. I wouldn't say it was horrible, but definitely the food was less tasty than in other Indian restaurants in London. Th atmosphere is cosy: it is a small place, mainly specialising in deliveries. Also, they were nice to allow us to bring the wine in, so we could choose what we wanted. The staff were very nice and friendly. The price was definitely on the low side: we ordered a lot of food to share and much was left on the table. All came down to roughly 20 pounds per person, which is OK. Consider though that the drinks were not included, so some might not find it that cheap. Not a horrible experience at all, but definitely not a place to go back to.

Absolutely shocking. I called immediately after ordering as my intercom is broken and was told - no problem, we will call when outside. I answered the call immediately when my food arrived (already late) and was told that my driver had gone to another job and would have to come back when he had finished his other deliveries. When I complained at this I was told 'he is impatient, I'm sorry'. I called Just Eat to complain and was informed that the restaurant would only offer 25% off my next meal and the only way that I could get my money back was by refusing to complete the order, which I then had to. I don't want food arriving more than an hour and a half after ordering, cold and with no apology. No food, no further apology from either the takeaway or Just Eat. Absolutely appalling service.

The driver wanted me to pay extra when he came with the food and wouldn't leave. If I were a woman or elderly I would have found him very intimidating.

love their food ... they must have had a bad day coz the food wasn't excellent as always

First time ordering from here and certainly would not recommend. I ordered chicken madras and pilau rice with onion Bhaji. When I opened the tub of chicken madras I couldn't actually believe my eyes...it was basically just a tub of oil and after I'd emptied all the oil of the top there was barely any Curry left in there! It was disgusting. The onion bhajis were completely bland and tasteless aswell, do not order from here.

Forgot some Of my mint sauce and spicier popadum!

Overall it was a lovely meal and we would definitely reorder. Unfortunately we were not told the Fanta would actually be Tango which was very annoying. Our food arrived 30 minutes early which isn't a huge problem but it would have been nice to have been informed as we could have decided to go out or have a shower etc and we would not have been able to go to the door.

Restaurant méconnu et pourtant il est excellent ! J'ai vécu 3 mois à Londres et testé des dizaines de restaurants indiens : c'est le meilleur ! Et à des prix imbattables !

Worse service ever. They should be delisted from your offering

First time to this place, ordered a mixed kebab style starter which was poor in portion size for the price. Biryanis were plentiful but good have had a bit more spice to them. Average but starters need improvement

THE WORST SERVICE EVER - I'm 9 months pregnant and was told that unless I left my house to get the good he was going, mid conversation. He hung up on me I called the restaurant so he eventually delivered a watered down cold horrible meal / NEVER AGAIN !!! I will be posting pics

Me and my partner loved and enjoyed the food very much. We definitely order again. Staff are polite to

Not many good take away currys in the west end but this one is very solid. It's my go-to delivery. Balti is great!

The food was terribly sweet and the restaurant would not take any responsibility for that. We ordered a tikka masala but it tasted like a chocolate bounty.

Excellent service this is what you call curry There was still steam coming out of the curry highly recommend

Have ordered a few times from Olives and always excellent quality.

I was so happy with the food and time it took to deliver the food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. A hidden gem in my eyes.

Good food except mutter pander was very sweet and did not taste good. All else was alright.

Meal was hot on arrival taste was good Only issues lots of sauce, very small portion of meat

Didn't get the complete order. Called them several times and waited for 5 hours but still didn't get the full order. No refund either. This is a scam and i will report them to consumer court.

Very friendly staff, food is amazing. I have tried a Chicken Tikka Karai with Pilau Rice and Garlic Naan bread. This was simply amazing, very tasty. My friend tried Sag Aloo which was very nice.

Too oily and food has no taste , really bland. Will never order again

Excellent food. If you are looking for budget and quality food then this is the perfect place. Restaurant is somewhat very old but food is excellent. We have enjoyed their starters, main meal and side dishes. I'll definitely recommend it!!

Food was bland and lacking any flavour. Delivery man struggled to find my address as he didn't understand that the building doesn't have a number.

Best tasting and most reasonably priced Indian I have had in a long time. When they arrived they already had the exact change to give me and the food came packaged in a very cute little bag!

I highly recommend this place if you are on the hunt for a mean curry!

All this restaurants are lacking quality and passion it's disappointing.

needed to be a bit more spicy but good food

I have just eaten a terrific take away lunch from here, it was freshly cooked and prepared and the manager's home made mango chutney was sublime. Adela D may have struggled as this emphatically does not taste like standard high st Indian food, it's miles better. Full of flavour with fresh herbs, chillies and tomatoes I can only say 'outstanding'!

So I ordered a chicken tikka masal, yellow dal, and 1 roti. The Chicken tikka looked and tastes like the sauce was one of the readymade /thawed to cook. Too sweet (even though the description says - spicy). There was no taste in the chicken. The dal was decent but they delivered it without any salt I specifically asked for onions and lime but that was not delivered never again!

always great service. food is amazing.

I ordered from this restaurant terrible is not the word. The ambience is like a dead house. Dirty restaurant the kitchen looks like it has bugs. To add the customer service is horrific they dont understand you. The food is cheap and even a supermarket food is better!! Avoid at al costs!!

always great service. food is amazing.

Needed to feed 10people quickly and this restaurant was recommended so thought I'd go for it even though I hadn't tried it previously. I have to say, the food was very delicious and had the right amount of spice. Would definitely buy again. Thanks

Guy hang up the phone when asked him to ring the flat number and stayed in his car outside in the street refusing to deliver because of the rain. Very very rude and arrogant behaviour. Food was worse than last time. Will not use anymore.

Order was late and cold. The delivery driver called me and told me to go and pick up my order from downstairs. I called the restaurant and half way through telling the guy what was wrong he hung up on me. Never had such bad service from a take away before. I would not recommend this place to anyone. And my chicken korma only had 3 bits of chicken in it. Over priced and very small servings.

Very good food at very sensible price. Delivery time rather long, one hour twenty at least.
