Olive Limes in Dacorum - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Apparently permanently closed :(

Warm beer, they ran out of Cobra, service amateurish at best, ate there last year and it was good, maybe a new chef or owners, not sure, you would be better off across the road, maybe try again in 6 months or a year or so. Bit disappointing really, but they had a good run

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant. Food was first class, nice drinks and service was very good. I have been before and will continue to visit.

OMG ! What has happened to the wonderful Olive Limes Having visited this lovely restaurant for over a decade I was shocked to experience a truly awful experience this evening. Poor and slow service, low quality food and a lack of options on drinks made the experience a very poor one. The Raja land was a signature dish for many years and to see the sub standard, low quality food that was served today was a real disappointment. Olive limes is going through a managerial change and the chef has left. I really hope that they get back to where they used to be. Many apologies from the staff did not cut it I'm afraid. I will be avoiding the restaurant I have always recommended for a few months until they resolve these issues. Also get the basics right and replenish the soap in the toilet guys, seriously! Disappointing at best!

Fantastic atmosphere and service and the food was delicious. It was our first time at Olive Limes and we will definitely be returning very soon.

It's still one of the best curry houses in the area. Big tasty portions, but this time round, the number of chilli's on the menu didn't reflect the dishes before us. The two dishes with 2 chilli heat last time were our limit (madras), but this time we're very mild. The 1 chilli heat was too hot for the person who ordered it.

High quality, tasty dishes that were all well presented. Excellent service too! Well done Olive Limes! Highly recommended.

What a lovely place.. popped in for an early friday night meal and as usual we were not dissapointed! The prawn pure’ was delicious and the whole meal was so well cooked and spiced. Warm friendly staff and attentive servjce. Thanks for a great friday treat 👍😃

This is an Indian restaurant with a modern interior, friendly service and a choice of interesting dishes alongside the typical Indian fayre, although the menu could do with more detailed descriptions of the dishes. The quality and taste of the food was excellent and well above many other Indian restaurants in the area.

Excellent experience at this very smart restaurant. Service was faultless and fast. We told them we had only an hour as we had to be at a theatre booking and they responded accordingly. I would definitely visit again and maybe take our time more to enjoy the excellent food. We were booked for 6:00pm (when they open for the evning) and by 6:30 there were many tables occupied and the place was buzzing. 10/10.

My wife and I visited the restaurant last week.The restaurant ad ambiance is good and we were treated in a courteous manner on arrival.parts of the meal were good i.e pops,rice,bread and wine.However,the main courses for both of us were very poor.They were tasteless.It was if half of the spices and ingredients were missing.My wife had a chicken dish and the chicken was served in very large pieces.The reader may think that I know little about Indian/Bengali cooking but I personally have lived and worked there.We shall not be visiting again.C and K

Absolutely delicious food, lovely atmosphere and attentive service - a wonderful experience for a family meal and we will be back!

Once again a fabulous meal at Olive Limes. Spotlessly clean, friendly service and the food is to die for. The broccoli bhaji is just sublime. Would highly recommend

I would highly recommend this place. Food is fantastic and staff are brilliant. There is plenty of parking close by too

Excellent service, great staff friendly and helpful. Catered for a large party. Everyone was accommodated. Some food was interesting and spicy!!! But I was warned. Great night thanks

What an absolutely fantastic restaurant. We were a big group of friends, an old work colleagues get together. We were upstairs in the larger function room, but the staff did an excellent job looking after us. The food was just amazing, tried some dishes I'd never had before and I was sold, just so tasty. If you're looking for somewhere to eat in the area, get yourself to this restaurant. Great staff, great food, in an amazing setting. The owner, Ala, is extremely friendly and will definitely look after you.

We went as part of a large group 38. The manager was very accommodating and arranged a set menu. The food was amazing. Great quality and portion size. The staff were friendly, nothing was an issue. I would highly recommend and will be back.

Booked for my wife’s 40th birthday surprise party for 38 people and wow !! Could not of asked for a better venue !! Zahid the manager was absolutely incredible along with his team !! Zahid understood what I wanted and was so brilliant with the way he helped organise the evening !! Top guy and top service ! The food was fantastic ❤️ would highly recommend the Olive Lime and thanks again to Zahid it would not of been such a success with yourself and your amazing team ! One happy wife ! A⭐️

Visit the Olives Limes a lot but on this occasion for my wife’s birthday the restaurant was freezing, my wife, mother in law and father in law had to sit and eat dinner in their coats , food was ok but the whole experience was spoilt by the temperature.

On a bitterly cold Monday evening, a good friend and I made another visit to our favourite Tring Indian restaurant, and as usual, were delighted with the food, service, and ambience, an experience shared with around a dozen other diners. We'll definitely be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed it, amazing decor- especially upstairs. Great service and food.

Outstanding every time. Dishes cooked expertly well, attentive waiters and a high attention to detail in every aspect.

This place is very nice, clean and and has such good food I would really recommend for family. !!!!!

We enjoyed Christmas Eve here with our family. The food was delicious and staff were warm and friendly.

Enjoyed Christmas Eve here with family as we did last year too. 8 of us altogether. Food was excellent and service was friendly and efficient. Surprised by how quiet the restaurant was. Great location for us as we can walk from our home.

Wonderful food, amazing service and I can’t wait to go back. Superb restaurant

Sadly we were disappointed by our experience at Olive Limes. Although the food was nice, the service was slow. Additionally, the waiter dropped food into a guest's handbag whilst serving us, there was no tea or coffee available and we were overcharged by £60! This was rectified when we pointed out we had been charged £66 for poppadoms. Our dissatisfaction was evident by the fact we did not leave a tip. I don't usually write reviews but you asked for honest feedback.

Excellent experience and service. Staff we exceptionally polite, helpful and well mannered which makes all the difference. Food was tasty too and fast service

This restaurant has 100% declined ! The heating doesn’t work and people were eating with gloves on, we ate with our coats on. The service was shocking (just 2 waiters for upstairs who were expected to do everything)- no drinks could easily be ordered and dirty plates sat on our table for 30 minutes after finishing the starters. The mains for all of us tasted the same (we all had different with varying flavours/spices and heats). The Bombay potatoes were hard. The meat chewy. The food cold. We will never return. Shocking!

Food is good quality but the staff are very judgemental and give of an atmosphere that they don't want you there. Wouldn't recommend.

Awful service, cold room upstairs we sat with our coats on, food tasteless and dry. Meat in curry's were fatty and full of gristle . Toilets broken and unable to flush. Overall a bad service and no apology from manager. We paid for our drinks and poppadoms which is fair enough. But would not be recommending to anyone and will not return. Sort your service and chef out or you will go under...fact.

Excellent food and service . Highly recommended. Food is of a very high standard and the staff could not be any nicer. Well worth a visit.

Well what can I say the first time I have br0ught my friends and they absolutely loved it as did myself and husband the service and food was impeccable we weren't rushed or bugged it was the best evening we have ever had thank you so so much we will be back

Really lovely food, excellent customer services if you like indian food you will love this place

Great menu. First visit and had a problem deciding on a starter. Too many enticing choices. Have already decided must go back soon.

First time at this restaurant. Very friendly service and helpful. Menu varied and some new dishes not seen in many other Indian restaurants. All food was tasty and hot, served in different shaped dishes. Food seemed to be prepared and placed on the serving plates carefully rather than in piles. Chicken in our chicken tikka masalas was large pieces, almost half a chicken breast, so you knew was fresh not processed. Great place to eat and would definitely go again. Enjoy

Omg it’s pathetic the food is horrible the puris were so tiny and tight no taste at all , the guy who was serving doesn’t even know anything about the food toast without butter. Go there if have extra money to waste.

Olive Limes is a wonderful dining experience - a very special place . I visited on Friday with my parents and boyfriend . The staff were so kind - they prepared a specially requested amendment to a dish for one of us . The food was as always superb and the service top notch . The Chicken Shashlik is amazing !! Thank you Olive Limes .

Really fantastic service and delicious food… really comprehensive menu and very pleasant restaurant. The service was timed just right ….. helpful but not intrusive…what more do you need!

we had a great time with friends

We had spotted the restaurant was offering a special menu for August-three courses for £15. The venue was gorgeous with relaxing music and despite being quiet (early on a Monday evening) we felt very comfortable and welcomed. The food was delicious. Smaller portions apparently than...

We went to try the Indian Colonial breakfast and throughly enjoyed it! Three of us had the thali and one had the egg roll - it was all delicious! A wonderful service too! I think this is a very different thing for the restaurant to...

We had a really fantastic breakfast at the Olive Limes! Amazing value for money, authentic, honest , homemade Indian food. Family of four and two kids with coffees came to £50 which is awesome! Service was excellent with an attentive server and all around nice...

The best Indian restaurant in Tring by far ! Professional friendly staff and great tasting food.

Went with my wife for a birthday meal. Food was plentiful and well cooked and presented. We both agreed it was the best Indian meal we had eaten in a long time in such a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant was very well attended on a...

Nice curry, check your bill they cheekily added on a few things we didn’t order

Excellent restaurant for vegan food. The whole menu can be made vegan, as it is cooked with vegan ghee and the owner is super friendly and helpful. The food was also delicious, the service was impeccable. The owner made a special tea with ginger and cardamom and cinnamon and lemon (rong chai?)and it was delicious! 5/5 would eat here again!

Fantastic food with great service will definitely be going back with friends to share the experience ( large portions) be carful how much you order !

We went for their weekend 'Colonial Thali' brunch. The restaurant is very fancy with a lovely easthetic, rather formal. We were greeted warmly at the door. Service was incredibly slow, despite us and one other table being the only ones present. After a 25 minute wait for 2 dishes, the Thali platters came which had a variety of 'Indian' style dishes. The food was just fine, you get quite a lot for your money. However the food was rather bland for Indian food unfortunately, lacking spices, heat and seasoning. The waiter explained it was 'Anglo' Indian food, so adapted for the local customers, which was rather a shame. We also ordered two 'lattes' which were from a machine in restaurant - were very bad quality, hardly any coffee taste, just tasted of piping hot skimmed milk. Overall, glad we tried something new. It is good value for money, however we won't be returning, purely due to the slow service, over formal atmosphere and muted flavours of Indian dishes.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff had done their best to seat us at a quiet table to accommodate hearing impairments. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious - beautifully prepared and presented. The menu has a variety...

Lovely friendly atmosphere, staff very good and food excellent and good variety. Would definitely recommend

Dined on a quiet Monday evening. Manager and team were attentive and helpful. We are repeat customers and all 4 of us were very happy with our food and the service. It is our go to Indian restaurant in Tring and we will be returning.

amazing food, great friendly service, wonderful setting, difficult to say more, fantastic! Actar (apologies if spelt wrong) a great host, by far the best Indian food I have ever had! (And that’s a lot!) brilliant olive lime tring,Thankyou!

Came in late at night, after they had finished serving food, but they made the effort to give us a dish and side after hours and offer us drinks while we wait, every time i have been in here the food has been class and...

Food was excellent and well presented. Ambiance was also good, music at the right level and spacing between tables. I will definitely be going back and recommend it to friends.

Food inedible. Rice dry, overcooked. Lamb curry chewy. Local friends say quality has nose dived Never again

Excellent food and service. Really tasty and very generous portions.

The food was delicious, the manager helped me choose my dish and suggested they would make it less spicy which they did and it was the best curry I've tasted. We went as a family of four for a birthday meal and the service was...

Beautiful food. Really friendly staff. Large portions. Quiet on a Friday night.

Love the olive limes! Food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We visit regularly and are never disappointed.

Lovely fresh food, different to the normal offer although those are also available. Big portions, left with a doggy bag as did everyone else we noticed!

A perfect quite comfy place to be. A fantastic warm welcome very friendly staff and the most important thing is you are not rushed. It’s so relaxing and the food is stunning and so much.

As always, fantastic fresh tasty meal. Service was 100% spot on. Another wonderful meal. By far the best Indian restaurant in Tring.

Been here before had some very good food but last night the food was not good , the mint sauce tasted very odd I think it had raw garlic in taste not good starter onion bhajis were good but could not use the mint sauce...

Good portion food with average taste. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Service was good. 👍

Arrived on time and served immediately with drinks. Took 40 mins for someone to take the order and we had to ask if they’d forgotten about our starters, which were lovely when they finally arrived. Same problem with mains which were served 2 and a...

WOW!!!!! What can I say. My family had booked my surprise birthday party into another local (Aston Clinton) Indian restaurant. They all turned up (22 of them) ..no record of booking!!!! Time to find another location rapidly!!!! Luckily this fabulous, accomating restaurant were able to...

Table booked for 8 o’clock we arrived bang on time, asked for drinks then waited and waited and waited for our meals finally left at 10.45 after complaining about waiting nearly 2 hours for our food order. Food was ok but we left feeling very...

One of the best places I dine in. The staff was so nice and accommodating and made the meal very special. I am very sorry I didn't took any pictures but will definitely go back 😊

Wonderful dining experience. Couldn't be better. We will be back soon

Great food and helpful friendly service. The Peshawari naan was the best I have tasted. We will be back soon. Also nice looking wine bar opening soon as extension

We booked here for dinner and had a excellent experience. The food, service and ambience were all great. We were told that they had run out of a certain drink that I wanted to have with my meal, but they made extra effort to find...

Had booked but didn't have our booking down. Fortunately seated all 6 of us upstairs. Bit pricey but lovely curry, service good, one young waiter in particular very friendly.

Best Indian restaurant in tring.

Have been to Olive Limes many times and it was always an excellent experience, unfortunately times have changed. The once outstanding menu has been cut down and now resembles one that you would find at most Indian restaurants. The food itself was okay, but again...

Excellent food very friendly staff. Music way too loud in the toilet though!

Stunning indian food in an equally stunning setting. Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive too! We loved everything we ordered - have ordered from here multiple times but this was our first time dining in and would highly recommend it!

2nd time visiting and both times we have had a great experience, great food and a relaxing and enjoyable evening

Had dinner on Christmas Eve with daughter, son-in-law and 4 adult grandchildren. 3 vegetarians and one doesn't eat fish. We all found plenty on the menu to enjoy. Food delicious and waiters attentive, efficient and friendly. Pistachio ice cream had run out but coconut flavour...

Excellent food. Slightly bizarre service and the soft drinks are very expensive - if you want a “large coke” they basically pour two tiny bottles into a pint glass and charge more than alcohol. The food though was on the money, which was just as well. Good portions and great depth of taste - just like a proper curry in India.

Lovely food, some old favourites but a good range of new dishes notcseen before, love the Chennai chicken curry! Staff friendly and attentive. Contemporary downstairs and quite colonial/victoriana upstairs. My new go to restaurant.

Absolutely lovely food they where so welcoming would definitely go again

The food was great, reasonable price, friendly staff, good service. Highly recommended. I would defiantly visit again.

We were there as a group of 21. Not always easy to serve a large group. The team did an excellent job. Food went down very well and the service was attentive and prompt. Will be back

Excellent food and outstanding service

Went as a group for the evening. Ample space and the delicious food together with the friendly staff made the whole night very enjoyable. We had a mixture of Thai and Indian and finished off with the chef's special off the menu masala tea and Indian sweets.

Excellent food, good size potions. Highly recommended.

Having been a regular firm favourite for many years and consistently the best Indian restaurant for miles, sadly the last few visits have left me disappointed. Now with a much more limited menu, and when served, sadly dishes of poor quality, it’s hit and miss...

Staff friendly and attentive. All our food was lovely apart from a king prawn main dish - the sauce was good but the prawns where tough, cold and watery. Not good enough for a dish costing nearly £20. Rest of our meal was lovely, but...

Superb food and service. Having been several times now we can attest to their consistency. Today, to you it all off, they chased us down the street with our 5 month olds personalised blanket which was a gift from friends. Above and beyond- thank you.

Love the new pared down menu and change in cooking style and presentation. Everything was absolutely delicious (I did try a bit of everyone’s dishes!) and portion sizes just right. Would highly recommend!

We arrived a bit later than planned. Staff were most accommodating and friendly. Food was brilliant, service was great. Would definitely recommend.

One our favourites always look forward to the meal planning what we will eat. Imagine our surprise when one of our favourites was not on the menu a chat with the team, they checked with the chef and all sorted. Nothing is too much trouble,...

We had a really fun night at Olive Limes. Staff were attentive but not intrusive, explaining and suggesting menu choices. Really loved the menu, with some dishes we hadn’t come across before and also suited the vegetarian preference for some in our group. The quality...

Last minute bookings for a Indian meal with my brother. We ended up here from Leighton buzzard and I’m glad we did. I have been here before a few times but not in the last 15 months. Great service very nice staff and friendly. Food...

This restaurant is amazing. The ambience of this restaurant is amazing. The food is amazing, the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. This was a last minute booking, although they were busy, they accommodated us. Drinks and snacks on the...

I used to love this place but the last few times it has been expensive and average . Last week (sept 2022) I went with my friend. The food I ordered was a medium spiced dish ( as described by the waiter) - but when my starter - paneer tikka and my main chicken dish came the food was so so spicy 🌶 🌶 🌶 hot I couldn’t eat any of it. It was an endurance test for my tongue and taste buds. My friend asked for a spicy dish - and ate it - but said the next morning he felt like his stomach was on fire. I used to work In India and love Indian food - but it’s more about the taste and spices than ‘who can eat the hottest’ .

Lovely food, lovely people. My only feedback would be confirm upon booking if the table is upstairs or downstairs. Both are lovely but offer completely different dinning atmosphere. Downstairs is modern, sleek and new. Upstairs is vintage, grand and heritage. Amazing people. Will be coming...

Our favourite Indian restaurant in Tring. We have visited many times and the food is always delicious. We visited this time to celebrate a special birthday and all of our guests were wowed by the food.

Beautiful food and very attentive service. Our waiter was able to advise clearly on the menu and make dairy-free recommendations, and everything we ate was wonderful. Thanks for a lovely evening!
