Don't drive past this hidden treasure, some of the best food and service we have ever had.
We had heard great reviews from friends who had been to Olive Hawker - we were not disappointed.
The wait staff were all very friendly, engaging, accommodating and prompt.
The food was delicious and the proportions fantastic.
This was a Mother's Day dinner for my wife. We had our little Miss Almost-2 with us. Always a challenge (and thus a rare occurrence) for us to eat out with bubba. The staff were very accommodating of us alternating taking her for walks in between dishes, and were very good with her, engaging in conversation.
We cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We look forward to returning many times. Seems like we found our default venue on the north side to take interstate visitors too.
PS: Thanks to the staff who gave up their dinner with their mums or kids, to put on such a great night for families like ours.
Well done.
We had a take away because they were fully booked. Looked like wonderful vibe when we went to pick up. Large portions, tasty.
This has been one of the best experiences I have had in a restaurant in a while. The staff were not only friendly they were hilarious and had amazing service. Then the food, the food was fantastic but the desert was next level. I had the baklava which was spectacular. Well done to the staff here next time I'm back in Canberra I'm definitely coming back.
Great family restaurant. Delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere and excellent service for a very reasonable price. Four of us shared a couple of entrees, had a bottle of wine and a good sized meal, for about $50/ head. Nice to eat your meal at your own pace without being rushed out the door! Totally recommend.
Last week was the first time visit to Olive. Meet & Greet was good. Lunch time menu was great, it was hard to select what to have, the owner suggested the lamb shoulder with lemon, it was absolutely melt in the mouth meal. Entree and desert was also very good. Will certainly visit Olive again and have also recommended it to others.
One of my favourite restaurants in Canberra. We've been here a few times now. The food is always excellent, the atmosphere calm and relaxing, and the staff friendly. I haven't had better moussaka anywhere. The meatballs are a little bland, but everything else that we have tried has been excellent. They go out of their way to cater for guests with allergies, too.
Amazing, first time and we will be back. The service was friendly and food was absolutely delicious. We also brought a bottle of olive oil to take home the flavour was divine. Amazing night out, would highly recommend.
First time there and we'll definitely be back. Good food - too many things to chose from! Great service with friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. We felt welcome and left well satisfied.
We had the lamb shoulder and moussaka and I could not fault a single element of either dish. Absolute perfection. Would also like to mention they were very accomodating of my fussy toddler and pretty much made her a dish not on the menu. Definitely worth the visit. 10/10!
Best Greek food we have eaten outside of Greece. Will definitely go back next time I am in Canberra.
Customer service is perfect everyone works together like family and you can taste the love in the food.
Highly recommend!!
