The Blue Olive in Enfield

Had a Lovely meal with family. Highly Recommend the place.

It was brilliant the service was excellent and the food was amazing

Food tasted ok, but the service was terrible. We had to wait over 30 minutes for a plate of chips and when we enquired why, we got an extremely rude response from the waitress. Expensive and just not worth the money! Avoid folk! There are much better options up there, with much better service and much nicer staff! 👎👎👎👎👎

Great food and very nice people I will be back soon

Decent meze, nothing exciting or exceptional about the experience , functional, average portions, nothing bad but nothing specially good either for the £30 min a head with a drink. Much better available in that area, a meze should wow with overflowing Greek flavours.

great food & lovely service the dips and pits gave us life 🙌🙌🙌

I've eating here many times and the food has always been on point. I've attended with friends and family and neither have been disappointed. The food always tastes good and there is a variety to choose from. We mainly go for the meze as it has a mixture of dips, fish and meat dishes. The portions are reasonable sized.

Don't mind paying for quality but the food was very disappointing at an extortionate price. The service was slow, took ages to order, the food was bland and unfortunately will not be going there again.

It was a team lunch and the portions for each were massive. It was a good experience to sit with your colleagues and talk over other things other than work.

Some years ago I fell in love with blue olive vegetarian dolma unfortunately the taste the quality fell dramatically. I took away today and what a disappointment

Good quality food and service. Wasn't too busy on the day we went, we were greeted and shown to the table. The food and drinks came out fairly quick, we didn't need to wait around. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend this place for anyone thinking of going there.

Food is superb. I had a grilled sea-bream and it was the best one I’ve ever had. Also the aubergine baba ganoush was yummy! They gave us baklava on the house!

Very good quality food, eat in or take away. Great value

The meze was excellent. Plenty of it and very tasty. One person had the sea bream which was very big and very tasty. Would be a good venue for a larger gathering. Parking nearby was Ok (Sunday).

Dolmades used to be good but tasted different tonight - not as nice or fresh tasting. Gave us an upset stomach. Will not be ordering again.

Freshly cooked good quality food

Meze was great. Full of traditional foods. Service was excellent. Good value for money

Hey i had a experience at the blue olive and it was amazing they had one of the best waiter he was called Alex and did my table excellent i loved the food and the drink i definitely come again and i hope the waiter called alex will be there to serve my table 🥳

Good all round restaurant, food is very nice

Best Greek food and friendly staff

I really liked the food and the staff a solid 4 stars

Great evening with friends, group of 10 of us. Service was exemplary and so was the food. Haven't been for ages but won't be leaving it so long next time. Back in love with this place, thank you The Blue Olive.

Lovely food and great place. Service a bit slow but it did not deter from experience

I concour with previous comment's about the food being bland. I had a monkfish kebab that had no flavour and one piece of pepper and onion. It was dry it could have been any type of fish ?? Salad dressing just like water and a few pieces of fetta cheese was charged extra. Chicken kebab similar but moussaka was tasty.

Food is delicious but service is truly exceptional. Was there yesterday and the lovely young man with glasses made sure we had an amazing Sunday meal. Will definitely be coming back!

Average food at high end prices. Service too relaxed, toilets rather dirty.

In the past I’ve been here a fair few occasions and had a really nice meal, however I dined here recently for Father’s Day and received a very poor experience. At first, they had run out of our top 2 choices for dinner. Secondly, they brought one starter out extremely late after the others, in which we had to keep asking them for it. Thirdly, five minutes before our main meals arrived (which was a long time after we had placed the order) they told us that they only had one veggie moussaka left, and not the two that we had ordered, and pushed us to accept the alternative which was stuffed vegetables. This turned out to be sloppy, tasteless and quite horrible actually. They also didn’t bring our side order of chips that we had asked for, to top it off. We were charged for the alternative and the chips that never came, we managed to get the chips off the bill at least. It’s a real shame to say as we’ve had good experiences in the past, but on this occasion we had a really poor experience all round.

Food was tasteless. There are much better options available for Greek Food. Even had to ask twice for sauce to bring some flavour to the food. Chips were good though. Roast potatoes….I really don’t know how you can get this wrong but they tasted like they had been boiled (slightly) and then put in the oven for 10 mins……..

Had a great time and the food was great. Lovely atmosphere ann professional staff. Might be a bit crowded or loud for some people at times and booking ahead is advisable.

Five star on everything. I've been going for years and it never disappoints. Consistently excellent 👌🏽

The place is always buzzing and lively. We all enjoyed our food, from calamari, to swordfish, to lamb. The service is good too. We will come again.

Very nice staff. Only popped in for a coffee and tea, was nice!

Lovely Greet place and traditional. Plus was sitting in a greek restaurant listening to Greek music gives it that extra traditional feeling! The food was amazing tasty from the meatballs to the pork Shish. Only slight let down was new waiter making order mistakes I’m assuming being new that’s the only reason which stopped me giving 5⭐️

Really awesome food, I highly recommend the seafood meze, you get a lot of delicious seafood, calamari octopus prawns etc and a few different types of fish. Staff are really nice,helpful and always smiling.

The food was amazing, and the staff was great couldn't fault it we would definitely be going there again

Really nice restaurant, very good food and very welcoming staff. It was a busy night so took a little time to get a drink, hence 4 stars for service, I may be being a little harsh, though. I would definitely recommend the Blue Olive and I will definitely go back again !!!!

Tasty greek and Cypriot dishes. Great service too

Nice little bubble restaurant.. Quite enjoyed it!

Beautiful food, nice place, staff were nice but a bit slow and restaurant was chilly

Really didn’t enjoy our kebab wrap. Not very tasty and the chips were over cooked. Service not very friendly either

If you are looking for nice and tasty mediterranean food, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere, I recommend Blue Olive

Excellent Greek food, atmosphere and staff- especially the owners. I added more people to my booking and staff were very accommodating. I have been ordering takeaways ever since. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Decided to come to Blue Olive last night to celebrate son's 21st. Thought I'd double check on line meze per head (which said £28.50) by phoning the restaurant they quoted £28.50, so booked on the strength of that. Got there and menu quoted £32.95 per head which is what we were charged, so basically lied to my face, daylight robbery!

Average food average service another expensive kebab shop with poor food

Vibrant, great atmosphere but service was extremely poor. Kebabs were overcooked and dry. Only received an apology after we'd asked where our main course was (after an hour). Don't think the staff cared if we were there or not to be honest. Pretty average food,not very tasty and probably won't go back. Shame

Please take in mind other negative reviews. They are genuinely true. We ordered the food for my party. It was really bland without any seasoning. Kebabs were not marinated at all. Octopus was undercooked. I threw it away. The man charged me £5 on top, it would have been ok if the food was nice. It was not so bad restaurant before some years ago. I have called to them to complain about my experience. The man has said to me that they "have served 300 guests yesterday so their place is good" but " everything has happened with take away food as the driver could be 30 min late". It's shocking if they cannot take responsibility for take away orders at all, they should be dine in place only. I wish I have read other negative reviews about take away orders before. Overcooked and undercooked plus hygiene standards are your responsibility, the owner of this place.

Consistently good everything. Particularly a fan of the meat dolmades main course.

Meze was delicious and in very generous portions for excellent value. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend whole-heartedly!

Highly recommended. Lovely restaurant with great food and excellent service.

Amazing. We had steak and lots of different seafood. Octopus,calamari, prawns sea bass swordfish amazing thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 100% worth going.

Great Greek food, and great service. What more to ask? Recommended

Good food and friendly service.

ecellent food, excellent service..for 15 years same quality same friendly people ,thank you

Nice and tasty food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

We were part of a large group of 20+ people. Although we booked for 15 people, extras turned up and the staff were so accommodating. Food was very authentic. No dish that stood out above another, everything was spot on. Great evening, thank you!

Place used to be nice service and staff very good not any more

Excellent food .It's a must try the service is great, and food is really fresh and the owners are very nice and down to earth people. well worth a visit

Excellent food, excellent service.

Food was good but the food came with the salad and they sold me a Greek salad on top of it bad service wouldn't go back there again

The food is very tasty and the service is good

Yum! A friend gave us a voucher and we had the mixed meter- it was amazing. Make sure you are really hungry! Friendly service, would definitely recommend

The best fish meze in north London,it’s the third time this year and everything perfect,great service as well

Great place, delicious food and very reasonable prices.

Very good restaurant! Haven’t been to many Greek restaurants but this is on top of the list. They have a set called the meze which is for minimum 2 people (£29 per person) but totally worth it. Lots of food. Starters, fish and meat. They bring is as you go and it’s worth the experience trying everything. It’s allot of food and 2 people probably won’t finish it. We were 9 and ordered 7 mezes. Plenty!

Had a lovely family meal at Blue Olive this evening. Food was excellent, service with a smile and we all enjoyed the evening!

Lovely vibe, Stifado was delicious, attentive staff, all in all I recommend.

They simply do not have enough staff to cope with the customers they get. Waited 15 minutes for a bowl of chips, 25 minutes for a side of pitta bread and had to ask 3 different waiting staff before we got some chilli sauce. Don’t...

Delicious traditional Greek food, we had keoftedes (meatballs) and dolmades in vine leaves, I call them koubebia. Greek salad, taramosalata and pita bread. Decent prices and excellent service!

Absolutely recommend this place, had fresh seabass and my husband had octopus. The service is excellent.

This place was the bomb!!!!. Food great, staff great, atmosphere fantastic. Then…… (bring back Mario, oh and the kid of thinks he is Brian Flanagan from cocktail….stop it, just place the plates on the table like a normal person) Anyway ….I stopped visiting about 3...

Due to various circumstances, this regular fav of ours had not been visited for dine in for about 3 years. We were welcomed back like loved family and treated to food of the highest quality. Lamb souvla for my wife was as tender and tasty...

My husbands Greek friend and his beautiful Irish wife introduced us to the restaurant. We were not disappointed. Excellent food, friendly atmosphere and lovely staff. I highly recommend this restaurant, it's fabulous. 👍👍👍👍👍

Always excellent food and service

I came here for dinner with four of my friends. A good neighbourhood restaurant. We shared a meze platter with two seafood and three meat options. The package included cold starter, hot starter, and main course. Everything was cooked to perfection. The seafood was also cooked to perfection. The interior can be improved to enhance the experience. The service was friendly and helpful, and a special thanks to the lady who served us. We will definitely be back.

Great food and a really good service, however the toilets really smelt awful. They are in desperate need of a deep clean or better still refurbishment. According to my other half the female ones needed a good clean too.

Popped in as it looks lovely from outside. We ordered pork sausages and meatballs for starters and hummus. We sent the sausages back as the pork was still pink. We were offered a replacement but we declined. Main course - I ordered a large pork...

Slow service, salad is disappointing and the veggies not freshly cut, food overall taste was less than average.

Party of nine on a Saturday night for my friends birthday. We all turned up on time at 7:30 pm and placed our drinks and food order 20 minutes later (we all had meze). The food just took ages to come and when it did...

Great food, quick service. Not very expensive for normal family ...

Good service and food was fresh

We were taken for a Father’s Day treat so I don’t have the cost but the menu looked quite reasonable. The food was excellent - I had Moussaka which was delicious and the Swordfish Kebab, Sea Bream and octopus also got the thumbs up. The...

Lovely food. Great staff. Buzzing atmosphere.

I ordered food from Deliveroo very excited since all the reviews were quite good but what I got was nothing like expected the wraps chicken was absolutely vile no taste or flavour on the chicken at all it was bland the octopus was supposed to be grilled and what I got instead was a boiled chewy octopus at least the calamari was alright but they didn’t even put a wedge of lemon nor any kind of sauce on the side. Definitely not ordering again

Fantastic Meze and great service. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal there

Great food, great wine, great service, great value (especially for the Cockfosters area). The seafood platter is absolutely outstanding.

The service has been great, enjoyable atmosphere and the food had always been superb. We have been twice and will definitely return soon.

So we heard about this Geek Restaurant online being one of the best in London. And the food is excellent 👌. Good size portions and well priced, tastes of Cyprus/ Greece on a plate. The setting is lovely and the staff so so friendly.

Great food and service. Will definitely go back

Awful food. Really gone down hill, I had the lamb souvla was completely flavourless and driest potatoes I ever had in my life. The hallomi was also the stingiest portion I’ve ever eaten. When I made a comment to the waiter he said their is...

Terrible experience. Took my wife and son to have Greek food and my favourite restaurant was closed on Monday. So we drove up through Cockfosters until we found blue olive . We both ordered soufla. Lamb for me and chicken for my wife. Mine was...

Me and some friends had lunch there and it has been delicious!!! I had a Mussaka and it was super tasty and yummy, also my friends were really happy about the food. Some of them had fish and it was fresh and really tasty. The staff was friendly and polite and the place was quite clean. Vividly recommended.

sadly this place isnt what it use to be food was rather over cooked and dry i had a drink which was wrong but the waiter had to stand next to me and smell it like he didnt believe me my son wanted non alcoholic...

Went here last night for my sons birthday been here many times but sadly it’s gone downhill food was all over cooked and dry my drink was wrong and the waiter sniffed it Like he didn’t believe me no non alcoholic beers on the menu which my son Wanted not everyone wants soft drinks when I asked for non alcoholic lager the reply was we only buy one box a year and we have run out I think they need to move with the times and cater for everyone’s needs there is a shop up the road any decent place would have gone and got some I guess because they have there regular customers others don’t matter sadly won’t be going back too many other good places to eat that offer amazing service and value for money shame we use to love going to this place

I’ve been here a few times before and I think it’s going down hill food wise. The lamb was tough and fatty. Cockfosters has a lot of good food restaurants now (Skewd etc) so competition is tough but I think The Blue Olive is complacent as they get regular customers. Friendly staff but food is letting it down sadly.

Terrible food !!!!! The food was very bland and no seasoning at all. Restaurant was empty yet the service is very slow and food takes very long to be served. Food has no taste and when I asked for some lemon and olive oil the waitress was upset. They don't come to check on you to see if everything is ok. Bulgur was very old or made out of precooked package. I had a lamb kebab which was mostly fat and I requested something else and got the grilled seabream which had absolutely no taste and no seasoning. Their food is a shame to Greek cuisine. Horrible food No wonder the restaurant is empty.

Very good!! Classic restaurant, always great in all parts!

Stifado was nice but the rice was clearly uncle bens golden vegetable microwave rice. Did not compliment the stifado at all. Hence the 2 stars

My favourite Greek restaurant for the last 25 years

The best Greek restaurant I have ever been to. Lovely, friendly people, delicious and freshly prepared food. I am a regular customer of Blue Olive and never disappointed so far. I always recommend to my friends and family.

Everything was good the environment and the dishes are delicious. I was an amazing experience for me and my family because we like Greek cuisine.
