I have eaten in the restaurant previously and found the food and the service to be fantastic. I stupidly decided to try an alternative restaurant for a take away on 6/8/22 but when I phoned them to order, most of the dishes I wanted were only available in the restaurant not to takeaway and yet their takeaway menu is not on the website- long story short, got my Olive menu, phoned, ordered, requests happily accepted and order arrived 20 minutes earlier than predicted. Food was fantastic and service on phone also brilliant so I phoned and commended the manager and team - will be sticking with Olive from here on.

I ordered from Olive which I found online so I thought I’d give it a go. I spoke with Abul who provided great customer service and I only had £20 towards my food but my total came to £22. He kindly offered to give me my meal for the amount I had and the food was absolutely delicious so hats off to the chef. I will certainly recommend to family and friends in st Neots. If you love Indian food I’d suggest using these as I’d give it 10/10. Thanks

We recently moved from Bluntisham, a village near St Ives to live temporarily in Eynesbury before we move to Cornwall this Summer. We found Olive through recommendation about their food, & decided to try it out for ourselves. So last Saturday evening my husband & I decided to dine at Olive. The restaurant was full & clearly busy, we were warmly greeted & seated…We talked about our Indian Heritage & the regions of India. As for the food, it was delicious. I was really surprised to find this type of taste in this part of the area! The spice blends were so well balanced in the dishes we had. My husband & I experienced very charming & professional staff, who were attentive & made adjustments to the dishes/spice levels for us. This restaurant is comfortable & cosy, yet modern in many aspects without losing the Indian charm & authentic music in the background just makes the ambience right. My daughter booked a table for 7 of us Saturday just gone for my 60th birthday meal. Fantastic service yet again. We had ordered variety of food - Everything was tasty, with a really enjoyable evening. My family must have mentioned to them about the birthday, therefore, at the end of our main meal, suddenly the lights dimmed, platter with a birthday candle on an Mango Kulfi-ice cream & a shot/liqueur, a birthday card & birthday singing… the staff presented that to me, along with a small earthen pot filled with chocolates. That’s pretty special! Without a doubt, we’d return again. Olive Staff, I have been to few restaurants & few very good ones in London, but I’ve never left feeling this special - Thank you!

Amazing. Our first Indian restaurant meal and we brought our family from France too for her birthday. The staff were kind and helped us understand the menu. They brought out an ice cream with a candle and a shot for my Aunt's birthday and sang to her and she was so touched. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all great. I've now got a taste for Indian cuisine and dare not try anywhere else because this was one was great. I like that they use natural products. I ordered a fruit cyrry but asked them not to put sugar in but spices instead and it was scrumptious. I have to be careful with added sugar and also chemicals and after meals out sometimes I feel poorly, but after this meal I just felt happy! I'm coming back for my birthday! Shout out to all the staff especially to RAKIB. PS: I had the indian icecream for dessert that comes in a cute pot. Very nice!

This was our first visit to Olive and the whole experience was a delight. The staff were very welcoming, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We chose poppadoms and the home made chutney tray to start (6 dips + an onion mix) introducing us to an amazing variety of flavours and textures. Our main courses consisted of Parsee Roast Duck Narangee with mushroom and spring onion rice and Keralan Jumbo Prawn Curry with lime and coconut rice. In addition we had Peshwari Naan. The meal was exceptional. The staff were very attentive, without being pushy, for the duration of our stay and without hesitation we will eat at Olive again. Thank you for a lovely evening of wonderful food in ambient surroundings.

Thank you for a fabulous meal last night. The menu advice was spot on which meant our meal was tailored to our needs. Food beautifully presented, flavours were amazing. A new condiment we tried was lush, if you like coriander. The service of the team as always was spot on so thank you. Definitely 5 stars from us.

Fantastic service and food. We booked a large table for our work colleagues and the service was exceptional. We felt very safe as all covid safety was adhered to and the staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. The food was beautiful and everyone had a really super evening. Thank you to every member of staff who made us so welcome.

I’m so very disappointed to have to write this, as we usually travel to this Indian for its quality however tonight we arrived for collection on time, but our food was cold, our starters were only half the portion size we usually receive and one of the curries had bones in which we weren’t made aware of this curry contained bones. Bones are fine, but it is a bit of a shock to your teeth if you’re not expecting them. Unfortunately we will not be ordering again

10/09/2021 6.30pm My sister booked a table her on my recommendation for my birthday. We were unable to get there at original time booked but when she rang it was not an issue to change the time by half an hour. The restaurant is beautiful and the hygiene level is excellent. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful, they really do make you feel like you are the only customer. The food was delicious and the portions generous. This really is the very best Indian restaurant in the area. My sister was really won over and we can’t wait to go back. They pushed the boat out knowing it was my birthday too. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who enjoys excellent food & service. Well done to Abu and his team great work guys.

Absolutely delicious takeaway last night from Olive! You are spoiled for choice on the menu and everything was incredible! We cannot wait to try some new dishes and visit the restaurant - one of the best Indians we've had and we eat a lot of curry!

We have recently had two takeaway orders from Olive. On both occassions the food was outstanding. We love the variety of the menu, we have our favourites but also tried different dishes and all have been delicious. They are a busy restaurant and sometimes orders can be longer than expected so book early and expect an hour wait for food, but it's definitely worth the wait. Restaurant staff and delivery all very polite and helpful. Highly recommend.

Hi, we have been in the restaurant many times and the food has been excellent. We just received our New Year’s Eve order and the quality was extremely poor. We called up Wednesday with the aim to to order and reheat for Thursday to avoid the rush but was assured all will be ok Pre-ordering Not only was the food 1hr late! But it was lukewarm. It had a strange taste which was unusual to this dish we had ordered several times before and the prawn Pasanda had only 3 prawns in!? Very disappointed, will not order take away from you again. Shame because we regularly visit your restaurant. Nigel

We enjoyed an amazing takeaway for six a couple of weeks ago. It was our first experience of Olive and the gentleman taking our order was so courteous and helpful and when I collected the meal everyone was very smart, efficient and friendly. We all love Indian food but collectively agreed that this was the best we'd ever had. It may have been our first time with Olive, but it certainly won't be our last - thank you, we'll see you soon!

We have just had the most yummy takeaway and got one for my Daughter and husband too and they loved it. My husband fetched it and said the staff were so friendly and it was all very COVID safe. This made his day. We will definitely be getting another meal again. I was recommended The Olive and it did not let us down. We live in Buckden and we’re more than happy to drive over... See you again soon

The meal was amazing, I loved the chicken tikka masala, the butter chicken, the chicken korma, the naan bread, the papadums. Each time I go here I am never let down! The staff are brilliant, very good with COVID-19 restrictions, and are very honest when talking about times and delays due to how busy it is and other reasons. As well as this, they cater to vegans and people with allergies as much as they can. They are very polite and will check your temperature as you come in, which I think is brilliant. Couldn’t find a thing to complain about, if I’m truthful. This is my favourite restaurant, and I’m sure any bad reviews would be due to waiting- weekends are very busy and no doubt stressful for the staff.

Although you were very busy you were still able to fit us in last minute which wasn't easy for a family of five and we really appreciated it and the staff were as usual amazing. Thank you once again and see you soon and we promise to book in advance next time kind regards clare Harris and family

Home Delivery. The food was very tasty and delicious and the selection of dishes on the menu was very interesting and a bit different. However, everything arrived tepid and luke warm and we felt we had to rush through the meal before it went completely cold. Suggest that Olive needs to find a way of keeping home delivery food hot. As the food was so good, we will definitely use again.

We are closed now, open at 05:45 pm
