The Olives Multi Cuisine & Cocktail Bar in Dudley

one again an unusual Madras but a really fresh, tasty and well made one. reminds me in a good way of the home cooking of my late mother in law, a madrasi lady. very nice indeed.

Unusual but really excellent jalfrezi.

The environment was exceptional, and the food was of the highest quality. However, I must commend our server, who was both polite and professional. He took the time to educate us about each dish, explaining the ingredients and advising us on what to avoid due to allergies. It was a special date night, and he truly made it memorable. It is street side parking, 🅿️ I am planning to make a reservation in October for Christmas dinner, as he mentioned that there will be set dinner options available. Additionally, I noticed there is a fire exit separate from the front door, and CCTV is in operation for safety. Facilities for children, including high chairs, are also provided. The fire point is fully equipped and up to date. Overall, I felt safe, comfortable, and thoroughly relaxed during my visit.

A very nice restaurant, nice food & good service & excellent staff & we definitely will be back soon! I highly recommend

High prices, very little meat in the dishes! No complementary sides either. Disappointing !

Very freindy staff and people. Food was delicious and fresh. 100% recommended.

Some of the best food I've had in the area! I would highly recommend ☺️

Really good experience at this restaurant this evening. The food was delicious and was served by the friendly and helpful owner/manager. There were four of us, each having different meals and finding them all really very tasty and well cooked! Would definitely go again!

Delicious food, great company. The food was fresh and tasty. Had a lovely meal here, reasonable price and will definitely return when back in the area.

Great food, decided to visit based on the reviews. You will defenitly not be dissapointed, we weren’t. Great owner. Will be re-attending.

The owner made me a special chicken biryani which was awesome . Do ask for it when your here next time

Indian food was very tasty and not too hot. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food arrived fast, but not rushed. The bar wasn't very full but I was eating early 7pm on a Wednesday.

Thank you to all of your team! Me and my friend came for a meal last night and we will be back soon. The service we received was amazing and the food was phenomenal. We had a sharing platter for starter and a whole host of plates and dishes for mains. It well and truly beat me but I couldn't stop eating. Facilities were all immaculate. Can't wait to come back and try some more of the dishes. Thank you again for making us feel so welcome and full 😄

We were staying in Dudley to visit the zoo and the Black Country Museum. We fancied a curry and decided to take a chance on Olives . Being mid week there were not many in the restaurant but it turned out to be a great choice . We had mango lassi’s , shared sharing plate for staters and then shared a dosa and a biryani. We had a good meal which was great value and we enjoyed talking to some of the regulars and the owners . All told a great evening

Amazing food and great service. Will be back for more

Excellent all round. Great service from Lina. Lovely food. Reasonably priced. Good choice of food and drinks. The lamb chops were very tasty, the nan bread was large and plenty for the main meal. A great experience overall and I hope this business does well : )

Amazing food so tasty delicious 😋

Amazing place , they have wonderful staff who are funny and very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and fantastic, very flavourful. Definitely coming again and very thankful for the complementary papadam’s and drinks ☺️

I regret to place my review here as my recent dining experience wasn't great and it fell far short of expectations. Firstly, the waiter server's aggressive behavior was highly unpleasant and detracted from the overall ambiance. Additionally, both dishes I ordered, Idli and Cheese Omelette, were tainted by hair — one dish had a sizable piece while the other had a smaller strand. Despite bringing this to the attention of the receptionist, I was not happy by her dismissive response, as she said she couldn't see the issue. She charged me £7 for a normal Omelette without chips. I just paid for it and left the place. This was my most dissatisfied experience. As a result, I have no intention of returning, despite initially being drawn by positive reviews. It's disheartening to note that the restaurant's empty state contradicts the praise it has received on reviews, indicating a significant disparity between reputation and reality.

In my opinion, the best Indian food in the area . The price of the food is very reasonable considering the quality of the food.

Great customer service and food was fresh tasty. Proper Indian cuisine highly recommended

it was ordered to deliver ,food was terrible and less than normal and priced .ore money now than before. Not good value for money was very disappointed and will not be ordering any more.

In here Chicken fried rice is really delicious ,really tasty and loved it. Need to try again and again 😍

Amazing service and amazing food = well worth a visit. Was a little surprised when we got there as it was very contemporary, not your usual Indian but the food and service were impeccable. Will go again and take some of our family who live in the area

Very pleased with the ordering proces with just eat. I have always had a good experience with this restaurant and I feel bad about writing this review but I feel this is the easiest way to send feedback, so here goes: Chicken dosa - lacked chicken, I. Know becase i have had this from here before Keema dosa - never had before, but far too much potatoe. May as well not be a Keema dosa Chicken madras - just the spice in wanted but the pieces of chicken were like pop corn chicken, very small and not blended in with curry. Clearly adding to madras sauce, I'm sure all restaurants do this but this was too obvious. Some of the pots of dips/sauce were only half full! Not sure if I will order again. I have had a sit down meal here before, Standards have dropped significantly.. All the best

Me and my partner visited the olives on Monday 22/01/24 what a find, the food was amazing and so was the service from lena, I can't recommend it enough..outstanding I would highly recommend ..

The olives restaurant is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience. With its delectable cuisine, impeccable service, and captivating ambiance, it is undoubtedly deserving of a five-star rating. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or looking to explore new flavors, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.

Taste was just Ok, quantity super less.

The dosa was disgusting…ended up throwing it in the bin.

food was not good at all, especially the veg korma . it tasted smoke as if the whole curry was burnt.chicken lolipop had weird oily taste. i have been frequently ordering from here but the quality and taste has gone down due to some reason. I will not recommend.

Ordered chicken Tikka biriani but did not hav saurce with the order. Whenever I been to restaurants when I ordered biriani u always get a separate source with it.

Although we couldn't order what we set out minds to: no chapatis or bhuna on the menu, also run out of paneer... The food we ordered was amazing. Staff were very friendly. I could not see the toilets.

I made a drinks order to which I received something they decided to give me in place of my order, and they failed to let me know my drink was not available. I had to ask a second time before I was told that my drink was not available. As for food, it's been a long wait so far. Plates came out with one dirty n had to be changed. Once the food came out, it definitely made up for the rest. The food was amazing.

Great food and great customer service would definitely recommend and and will definitely be coming back again :)

Tasty food, service & atmosphere was amazing. It was a good experience. Thank you guys.

The best med.vada in the olives 🤤

Well what can I say? The food here is amazing. I had Goan fish curry it was so tasty. The peshawari naan was the best we have ever tasted. The curry was top notch too. The staff are so friendly and helpful too. Leena,I hope I've spelt that right couldn't do enough for us. Thank you. Just because it's in Dudley don't be put off. Eat in its worth it! Cocktails and mocktails are beautiful. Definitely give it a try

Very tasty and good quantity. Will definitely order again

Good food. prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity you receive. Highly recommend this place.

I would give them more stars if its available. Really nice food and very nice service. Polite staff member and lovely manager who look after for their customers. Owner is really understanding and great at hospitality. Would go again n again. I strongly recommend it. 💫💫💫💫💫💫

Really authentic Indian cuisine.. served by genuinely friendly people.. Would come back here to eat every week if I didn't live 100 miles away.

Very authentic Indian cuisine served by genuinely friendly people.. would eat here every weekend if I didn't live 100 miles away.

What a find, in Dudley for a convention, accommodation very close by, wanted to eat a good meal after a day’s travel, and wow we got just what we wanted, excellent service great choice of dishes available and well priced. We will be back in Dudley early next year, we will be heading straight to this restaurant for food and good service.

Had a lovely meal at The Olives while in Dudley for work. Although it was quiet, the welcome was warm, great service with a smile and fantastic food in generous portions. The peshwari naan was a particular favourite. Excellent value and would definitely return and recommend.

Visited this restaurant today and the food was delicious. Authentic Indian food and quite affordable.

I went to the olives last day in Dudley and the food is so tasty and excellent atmosphere and the way of make cocktail and mocktail is so wonderful 👌 as well as tasty I recommend this place to everyone especially try indo Chinese items same taste like Indian food proper.

I ordered the butter chicken on October 19, 2023 which I found to be exceptional and thoroughly enjoyed. However, I again ordered on November 8, 2023, and unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with the butter chicken that day. The dish seemed to be completely different in terms of taste and quality, leading me to believe that there may have been a change in the chef or the preparation process. I value the consistency and quality of the dishes you offer. Given the significant difference I experienced between my two orders, I wanted to bring this matter to your attention. Consistency is crucial, especially for signature dishes like the butter chicken, as it helps build customer loyalty and trust in your establishment. I understand that variations can occur in any restaurant due to factors such as ingredient availability or recipe adjustments. However, the extent of the difference in the butter chicken on November 8 it was quite noticeable, and it didn't meet the standards I have come to expect from Olives. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide my feedback in hopes that you can address this issue and ensure consistent quality across all your dishes. I believe this will not only benefit your customers but also contribute to the continued success of your restaurant.

Best place in Dudley to try indian food.welcoming atmosphere.really delicious food.their lamb keema dosa is a must try.owner and the staff was super friendly .a unique place that i highly recommend.

Food was cold chicken tikka masala very spicy

As an retired Indian chef, I have to say we have had the best Indian food outside of a Indian family home at Olives, the food is not your average curry house and having eaten at Asma Khan's Darjeeling express in London I can confidently say it is up to the same high standard of flavours. The chef has trained with Michellin star chefs from Barcelona so has also included some tapas dishes on the menu, something you don't normally see, Indian food and Spanish tapas food in one place, we hope to try that next time. Do go you won't be disappointed. Service was very good too. They were happy to allow us to bring in a birthday cake.

Had my first takeaway from Olives tonight. Chicken korma and chicken Tikka. Absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Great service. Atmosphere was welcoming. Food was really delicious and made with care. The service was fast and the staff were very friendly.

Brilliant service. Food came quick and fresh. Everything was done swiftly and calmly. Friendly staff.

Great food and taste. Freshly made. Ordered the sheikh kebabs, fish pakora and garlic brocoli.

Ordered takeaway for chicken saag, chicken dosa and idli. Nice decent size portion and value for money. Food taste nice and freshly made. Returning customer.

Last Sunday we all family had a dosa nd idli at this place❤️❤️👍👍Food was very delicious as well staff member is very nice I really recommend to all this place to visits 💕💕

First time ordering and will be again!! My order was amazing!! can not fault anything, food was bang on! thank you.

Went tonight (4/8/23) with my friend Yogi and the service and the food were outstanding. I shall be bringing my friends and won’t be eating any where else now I’ve found this gem of a restaurant. Parking at rear. Couldn’t do enough to make us welcome. Family atmosphere, children’s option and welcomed. Not rowdy but quiet and sophisticated. 10/10 from me - Debbie x

Great place for trying South Indian food as well as the 'usual' curries of which there is a good variety. There is a well stocked bar and prices are very reasonable. What drew me here were the Dosa's. We had starters of Pani Puri that got our tastebuds firing as well as the Chicken 65 which was tasty. For mains I ordered the Onion Rava Dosa, my wife had a Chicken Dosa and my daughter the Paneer Dosa - They were perfectly prepared with perfectly crisp crepes filled generously with accompanying chutnies and sambar. These were very filling and not too spicy. The staff were super friendly and courteous. I would definitey recommend this place as it offers great value for money.

Absolutely beautiful food,freshly made and absolutely delicious. There are so many things to choose from deciding was difficult and I was unsure If they could offer multiple cuisines to a high standard but they blew my expectations out of the water. Would definitely come again, loved my food and was genuinely very impressed.

Excellent friendly service, vibrant tasty food, 100% recommend, clean and tidy, good value, best spot in Dudley town centre

Lovely food and the Dosa was fabulous🙂 Amazed at how efficient and friendly staff were. Food was delicious and such a good balance of flavour and was such a good price...

The food was awsome staff service was too good and they were very friendly. It will be soon asian food best restaurant and takeaway in Dudley area. Again excellent and very testy panner dosa.

Surprised to see such high ratings and reviews, the food is quite average, majority of our dishes weren't good, we went at lunchtime and it was relatively quite still the food took a long time to come, mango lassi poor, rava dosa not cooked properly, uttapam mix not fermented so flat and chewy, chicken noodle was sweet had ketchup type sauce in it, butter chicken gravy not correct had added red colour in the chicken. Your average type fare, nothing special. Service on the other hand was great, Jatin who served us is an asset and works with enthusiasm, that was the only saving grace. I have to be careful in future about simply following Google review and visiting a restaurant.

Super good food service and interior needs to be busier on a Fri night 👍

Tried the Olives for a friend's birthday as we'd heard good things. It was amazing. The food is to die for and the service was brilliant. They couldn't do enough for you. Definitely the best Asian food around in Dudley.

Nice place for a family meet for lunch .. especially the Dosa.. the taste is exactly the same as proper South Indian spice mix.

We had a recent experience to dine in with our family and friends at the olives. I loved the fact that every food they served was made personal.I have severe food allergies and ordered an omelette which was made to perfection.A big thanks to jag for the wonderful dining experience. Well done

Very beautiful restaurant, great cocktails selection, quality food presented by amazing chef, really friendly and amazing service, humble owership, and had great time time family… big thank you for the olive family and see you soon🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Wedding anniversary celebration excellent service, food outstanding, highly recommend this establishment. Lovely to see the open kitchen and the master chef producing such delicious food. No ask too small very attentive staff.

La comida muy buena, lugar muy limpio y el personal muy amable

Very good restaurant and good staff👍👍

Very nice tasty bit sparse on chicken, though, but other than that, great.

It was very tasty and loved the environment over there. Will surely visit there again. Over nd all must recommended.

Hidden gem lovely restaurant, amazing staff great customer service nothing is too much trouble. The food was very tasty and fresh definitely would highly recommend we will be back for sure.

This was a great little restaurant on Dudley High Street 👌🏽 food was delicious and service was fantastic. We will definitely be going back with friends and family. Our only recommendation would be that they play Indian music instead of English pop music- is doesn’t suit the restaurant.

Just been to this place, new restaurant in Dudley interior is so good feels like back home Coming to food that’s very tasty, I loved bar counter as well

We tried mysore masala dosas, masala dosa, idly vada, chicken tikka masala with butter naan, every dish was pretty good. But the shows topper is mysore masala dosa. It tasted really really good and is a must try.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Will revisit this place for sure.

Delicious food and service also very nice.

Very best food, Excellent service. Loved everything. Please do visit here😍😍

Juss love the vibe there !! <3 Amazingg food and good service 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Very friendly staff <3 And Delicious food 👌100% recommended !

I wholeheartedly suggest this restaurant to anybody.I purchased a few items for my daughter's birthday, and the meal was really great; I have no complaints.The staff is quite pleasant. Once again, many thanks to Shan and his colleagues.

Loved this spot - I had the goan fish curry and I would 100% recommend, it was delicious!

Been a customer since the day they opened and I have to say this was needed in dudley different food amazing taste and best service ever. You got this customer loyal to the best food place.....

Lovely food and the Dosa was fabulous🙂. However, the Biryani did have a small stone in the rice, which looked like a dried apricot stone.

Food is tasting fresh but there seems to be inconsistency with spiciness. My meal was inedible due to being far too hot and I only order items which aren't usually extremely hot. Food description should be listed on the menu with a chilli score and chefs should then adhere to this to ensure consistency with each other & over time.

We had a butter chicken curry & egg fried rice. The taste is unreal would Definitely recommend to eat here.

Terrible second time ordering know and chicken curry was like water chicken inedible and had just been pulled off a skewer that must of been pre cooked first one I ordered was fine but it's like because I didn't leave a review from first order all have been terrible since

Delicious and tasty food!!! I recommend them.

Great food, will be using again 👍

Spicy butter chicken which was a surprise, but still really good.

The food was awsome staff service was too good and they were very friendly good Asian taste food ul find in there best multicusine resturant in dudley

Fantastic food, high quality A+++

Was blown away by friendly and efficient staff. Went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Food was delicious and the flavours were spot on. Food was also freshly cooked. So glad I found this Gem of a restaurant. I will definitely be back for more.
