Olive Naturally Indian Flitwick Branch in Central Bedfordshire

Not had a curry for a whole from Olive Had a takeaway last night Still the best in the area I think Chicken shashlik portion was huge (and tasty) My green chilli chicken dish was lovely Only minor negatives for me were Matar paneer needed more cheese for me Likewise, the cheese and chilli naan wasn’t very cheesy Wasnt sure if the Bhajis needed a bit longer in the frier? Enjoyable nonetheless

Fantastic service This was our 2 nd time visiting we need to come more ! Food was amazing Also had a ride up the road in the tuk tuk 🛺 Thank you

Our family of 7 had dinner in this fabulous restaurant on our way to and back from Center Parcs. What a discovery! I can honestly say it is the best Indian food we have ever had. Just delicious and Shah was our brilliant waiter, so attentive, interested in us and very friendly. We will definitely be back when passing that way again. Thank you Shah & everyone in Olive Flitwick. The Keane family.

Fantastic food, service and managers made sure we had a lovely evening for a short notice birthday on 8 July . We had to change the time due to taxi issues which they also accommodated . Great value for superb authentic food We will return . Thank you Shah, Sam & Ali

Really delicious Indian food. We were really impressed. Superb food, all the favourites but with many regional and street food dishes. We were really impressed with the food and service, shout out to Shah, he was super helpful….guided us on menu choices without being pushy. Top place and our new Indian favourite

A great first time visit. Will definitely return. Lamb Naga, lemon/cashew rice. Perfect in every way. Great culinary experience.

Fantastic meal in lovely restaurant … great and friendly service from Shah, with a recommendation of the nicest curry.

Delicious food! We took Ali’s recommendations and boy he got it right. Subtle spices used to enhance the meat/ sides and especially the fabulous lime and coconut rice! Service efficient and helpful.

Been to the Olive several times and find the food and staff always good. Shah is always welcoming to us, he always makes the effort to greet and remember us, we are not weekly regulars but he makes you feel you are part of the family. Service quick, food always excellent and if you are not sure about something ask Shah and he will explain if the food will be hot, mild etc... Happy food, happy people.

Wonderful menu and fantastic food. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent. Aki and Sam were really informative about their dishes and made our dining experience really fun. I would highly recommend a meal here! If we were locals we would be regulars in this outstanding restaurant.

Great food and fantastic service! Highly recommend going if you haven’t been. Good atmosphere and amazing food. Me and my partner really enjoyed our meal

First visit. Great staff and good food. Will definitely go again very soon. Value for money. Will try a takeaway from them too.

Very kind and helpful staff. Happily told us where we could find ingredients. The place was very clean and welcoming. Our server (Shar) was very helpful in asking the chef about our meals. Will absolutely come again.

The best Indian in flitwick and surrounding areas by far. We regularly eat at Olive in the restaraunt and takeaways but last night we took family from out of the area and they agreed its the best Indian they have had! Even when its busy the food is still delicious and service is on point with lovely atmosphere. Massive thankyou to Sam and the team. Highly reccomended

Really hard to fault again tonight Excellent food The lamb bhuna was superb (and I don’t normally eat lamb) Chicken shashlik was the highlight

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area. The food is excellent, with some different choices from the normal Indian fare and it is all freshly prepared, and they take notice when you ask for, say, something to be milder than usual. The food is delicious, and never swimming in grease, like in some places. Their green sauce is amazing with poppadoms, and there are a lot of delicious vegetarian options on offer. The staff are friendly and efficient and all wear gloves, which is a nice touch, IMHO. This is our go to place for a meal out.

Absolutely outstanding service and food! Without doubt the best in the area and all at a decent price. Highly recommend!

Ordered a collection tonight online Turned up to say they’d not got the order Annoyed Re-ordered and they gave me a complimentary beer 2 minutes later they came out with my order - they had got it (the kitchen had made it?) yet front of house screen not showing them the order No harm done but they didn’t need me manning at them nor the stress!? Very weird Good food though

I have been here a few times and it never fails to impress! The staff are attentive and the food was fabulous. I highly recommend

My family and I went to Olive for my birthday meal. The staff were so welcoming and kind to us all. The service was excellent and the food was beautiful. The staff at Olive got me a birthday card with a lovely message inside which was such a kind gesture. We all had a lovely evening at Olive and would 100% recommend to others!

Local friends booked for a total of 6 of us on Saturday night, a great excuse to try the restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. They recommended various dishes and we weren't disappointed. They also had an interesting range of never-seen-before naans! All their food was exceptionally tasty and not as heavy as some Indian meals can be. Finally, they kindly provided extra spoons to allow us to try their homemade Gulab desert. So often you only have ice cream, but this restaurant went the extra mile to make an excellent Gulab. If this is unknown to you, please try; my 5 friends were all impressed.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Staff were fantastic, couldn't be more friendly. Thank you Shah

Great food, great service. Very nice people. Lovely restaurant where we felt welcome and looked after. I would definitely go back and recommend 👍🏻

My go to spot for takeaways in recent years has been the Verandah in Ampthill, trouble is they’re never very organised and you often wait for ages for your food - way past your booked slot After last experience decided I’d try the Olive in Flitwick - now had a couple of curry’s from there over last couple of months and have been really impressed Quality of the food is great and on both occasions I’ve turned up and it’s ready to go The last order was for 10 of us (rugby World Cup Semi final night), even so, it was ready to go and piping hot - gave me a good discount and a bottle of cobra too Food, as I say, is very very tasty too Not eaten in as yet but always busy when I go for a takeaways Highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious and no hassle over changing certain things for us, Sam was great as were all the staff, we'll definitely be going again soon thank you

Fantastic evening. Food was fresh and delicious. Party of 2 both gluten free and one also dairy free. Allergies were well catered for, staff knowledgeable and attentive but not intrusive. Very enjoyable

Nice ambience, restrained décor, welcoming, attentive-but-not intrusive, intelligent, staff, interesting, extensive menu and the food delicious and beautifully presented. Seriously good.

Best Indian food I have tasted in a long time. The menu was extensive, staff were helpful and friendly and the restaurant atmosphere is great. Tandoori salmon was delicious we thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Wow! Excellent service, atmosphere and food. As a vegan it is rare to go into a restaurant and find the staff so helpful, knowledgeable and amenable. Shah in particular was excellent; so friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding and can't wait to go back!
