The Olive Crown in Lambeth

Al principio fui al restaurante solo para tomar un café, pero después de probar algo de comida quise ir a cenar. La comida era increíble, todo era fresco y cocina muy bien, los precios son buenos y las raciones son muy buenas. El personal es muy agradable y el servicio es excelente en general. Además, la vista es genial, es del parque común de Clapham. Gran lugar para la familia, amigos o incluso solo. Perfecto para fiestas también, el interior se ve bien y tienen un área exterior. + hey tiene algunos postres tradicionales increíbles.

Increíble Mousaka, Kleftiko estaba delicioso, los giroscopios eran fantásticos. El pan pitta estaba recién horneado al igual que el resto de la comida. El personal fue genial y las críticas de cinco estrellas que nos llevaron al restaurante fueron bien merecidas. Gracias por una comida encantadora. X

Alloggiando nelle vicinanze ci ha attirato la possibilità di gustare del cibo greco in zona poco turistica di Londra. Anche mio figlio di 8 anni, abituato alla cucina italiana, ha mangiato con appetito! Conto assolutamente onesto in considerazione di quanto bisogna sborsare per cucina industriale in centro. Lo raccomando

Era nuestra primera ocasión en degustar la comida griega, y lo hicimos en nuestro viaje a Londres en este restaurante. La verdad es que nos sorprendió para bien, y de hecho fuimos en 2 ocasiones en nuestro viaje. Gran sabor con un restaurante con ambiente romántico apto tanto para parejas como familias, amigos... Además la camarera era muy simpática y atenta!. En cuanto a los precios, no son baratos pero en general creemos que la calidad-precio no está mal. Recomendable si buscas probar comida griega.

Visitamos esta noche sin reserva previa y pasamos una noche fantástica. La comida, el servicio, el ambiente fueron excepcionales. Mi hija de 2 años también fue muy bien cuidada, ¡una ventaja adicional! También atendieron nuestra dieta halal. La comida era fresca y no podemos recomendar este restaurante lo suficiente. ¡Olive Crown definitivamente se convertirá en un habitual para nosotros! ¡Muy recomendable!

Staying at the Windmill on Clapham Common (a great Young's Pub and Hotel) for a couple of days. Arrived after 20 hours of flights and had dinner at the Olive Crown. Very welcoming , relaxed with great food , just 2 dishes, Grilled vegetables and a Kleftiko and a couple of Greek beers. Perfect . Great service. The owner told us that he had just recently opened. A small family run restaurant with an outside terrace, nice people , great food, it deserves to succeed, many thanks and good luck. John and Claire from France

This was a chance find while looking a quick lunch before a gig. The weather was glorious so we sat outside. Another diner commented that the food was amazing, “as good as anything I’ve eaten in Greece” we get actual words. The waitress was lovely, very polite and accommodating. My wife ordered lamb chops and a glass of wine. I ordered Gemista. My wife ask them not to serve the potatoes. The wine was lovely and reasonably priced. When the dishes were served we thought each dish was for two people, the food smelt amazing. The chef had chosen to fill the plate with extra grilled vegetables to replace the potatoes. The stack of chops were cooked perfectly and the presentation was really nice, the meal looked very appetising. The gemista looked very authentic and tasted amazing, cooked perfectly, well presented, a lot of care had gone into the meal. I would highly recommend this family run restaurant. The staff are very polite, professional, very welcoming and warm.

A perfect local restaurant. Staff are so lovely: charming, professional, just spot on. Food is good. It’s Greek. I like it. I enjoyed it. Wine list is fine. Decor is good. Prices are reasonable. What more can you ask. I went there because neighbours had recommended it. They were right. Special mention to the waitresses, especially the lovely lady from Albania, who will be a huge asset to whichever company has the foresight to hire her when she graduates. Great evening.

Great food, reminding me of real greek gyros and chops to die for.Service was welcoming and very polite! Great value for money and definitely going back for more!

I ordered an Aubergine Starter , and a Traditional Greek Chicken Gyros . It was very fresh , smelt amazing and the seasoning was just right . Loved the quality and the prices are just right for the portions and quality . I recommend this restaurant !

Booked this restaurant because of the great reviews and we weren't disappointed. New, clean and modern decor. Service was very good, food was very lovely. Was a little quiet, discovered it hasn't been open long, so feel is not really known about yet, but sensing this place is going to get really busy. Sometimes travel to north London for Greek food, so is great to finally have this little gem on the doorstep. Loved the Tzatziki and really fresh pitta, places so often get this simple dish wrong. Saying that, all the dishes were really fresh, very tasty, and well cooked, potatoes particularly good. We pretty much cleaned the plates!!! They came up tops on hygiene, one of my biggest bug bears, both restaurant and toilets were spotless. Always love receiving a warm welcome, but also love when people respect your space and let you eat, which was just what happened here, brilliant, a little chat, and then you are left to enjoy the evening. We will most definitely be back. Highly recommend giving it a try.

What a surprise for us when we attended this restaurant because what we encountered was a truely excellent dining experience. We had the choice of either internal or external seating and we chose to sit outside. The menu was very appealing and when we ordered we were very pleased with each of the courses, they were very generous servings and each course was delicious. Between the four of us, we each had a great representation of the menu and each of us were in full agreement that it was a very satisfying dining experience. The customer service staff were very professional and efficient whilst at the same time displaying a desire to ensure all of their customers had a very pleasing dining experience. Cost wise, it was very, very reasonable for what we received and again we were pleasently surprised at the very reasonable total for the night. Overall, a very pleasurable dining experience and this restaurant is Highly Recommended.

I always have an eat,pray,love moment at this restaurant...the service the food is exquisite.Thank you for making my birthday so special.

My wife and I are visiting from the US with another couple from Australia and decided to try this restaurant for a Sunday dinner near where we were staying. What an absolute delight! Great food, excellent presentation and service. We started with the aubergine salad with warm pita bread. Delicious. Then we ordered 4 mains which we all shared. First was the sea bass with citrus seasoning, roasted red peppers and rice. Outstanding flavor. Mousaka was next. I didn’t try this one, but the person who ordered this really liked it. Then the pork kebab platter and chicken kebab platter. Both enormous and delicious. Tender, flavorful and juicy. Also served with roasted red peppers which were sweet and tasty. At this point we were completely full but the waiter mentioned the freshly made kadaif and baklava. So we had to try these as well. And these were delicious as well. And beautifully presented on slate. Unfortunately for us, we had to waddle away from the table! As mentioned already, we are all visiting from out of the country - but would ALL heartily recommend this restaurant!

Was a nice food nice staff and very very friendly.the mix grilled that I had was delicious.it was enough for 4 of us.fantastic service.i will come back of course.

I had lunch here today and was so pleased with the high quality of the food and fantastic service. The food was so delicious and very good portions too. I just love Greek food. I was so well looked after by Fernanda, who was so lovely. I also met Albania who enquired if everything was alright, which of course was more than alright, everything was so good. This was my first time in this restaurant and will return again with my friends and family.

We visited the olive crown for dinner on a Friday night. Great food and generous position sizes. We will be back.

Having completed the Moonwalk we needed somewhere within staggering distance from the hotel. Food was absolutely delicious, staff attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was good with Greek music. Well worth a visit. Thank you and good luck we hear it's a new business.

A second wave of guerrilla promotions on local community networks took us there...…….my wife, my aunt and her 16 year old granddaughter. I am compelled to see that , when it is not quite prepared with top skill and care, Greek food can be deeply...

We went to the Olive Crown this evening after reading positive recommendations. We were in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine in this lovely sunny weather. This feels like a family-run enterprise who geniunely care that their customers have a good experience. The food was delicious...

Really good Greek food, lovely staff, fun atmosphere and a great location. Best tzatziki I’ve ever had. Great new restaurant, thoroughly recommend.

Wonderful staff, authentic Greek and without a doubt the best Souvlaki and tzatski I’ve ever had. Great for a fun night out with friends! Can’t recommend more!

Finally got round to visiting last night with some friends and what a treat! Lovely attentive service by both the owner and the waitresses. They recommended the meat platter, and various starters. The Saganaki is to die for, and the meat platter was cooked to...
