The Blue Olive - Southwark

I am Greek, I have eaten in many Greek restaurants in Greece cypris and uk, and this is not the best, but it is very good, there have eaten on Saturday night and on Sunday I was more than satisfied with staff and I think other reviews that these people have no idea what good food is. I like it and my wife, who is now a housewife, but was a top cook in the west end it is 1 of the better Greek restaurants out there

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.

We have absolutely love this place despite not being that local to us. The food tastes superb, the meat so tender and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff is second to none. They will go out their way to accommodate you. Also the vibe is perfect! It’s not pretentious, and doesn’t need to be. In my opinion, those places are always compromised somehow. This is definitely my favourite Greek Restaurant in London

Lovely atmosphere, staff and food. Had the meze and it was all so tender. Only thing I would say is food needed a bit of salt (I know this is preference) also the prawns were very soft but needed some sort of flavour was hoping for a bit of garlic rather than just a cooked prawn. Again, very tender food just not as full of flavour as I would have hoped. Meze on the reasonable side and you do get a lot of food but drinks are quite expensive £6 for a large beer and £3 for a bottle of Coke but that's Cockfosters I suppose. Desserts were lovely and the baklava was 10/10 just very small. Will be back, but hoping there is a few more herbs and spices on the food.

I have been using this restaurant every time we visit the UK since moving to Cyprus. The quality of the food is fantastic, with a great wine selection. The staff were excellent, and when I had a small issue with some tough meat, they swiftly replaced my meal and even gave me a free drink. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my family and friends, and give it a 10 out of 10. It's important to address any issues with the staff directly, rather than posting negative reviews online without proof. We will definitely be returning for Christmas. - Andy Mand Anderson
