The Olive - Leytonstone

The Olive 25-27 Kirkdale Road Leytonstone London E11 1HP Tel - 020 8539 6664 Web - www.theoliverestaurant.co.uk Cuisine - Mediterranean This restaurant does nice simple food, I dived in here on the way back from work one night after missing out on lunch. It was a little quiet but that was no doubt due to eating so early. We had a few dips with Pitta, all freshly made, the Humus had a good texture and the Tzadziki was nice and light leaving me to be able to taste the fresh cucumber. For mains we both decided to go for the Mixed Grill. The presentation and taste was as good as, if not better than most of the chain Mediterranean eateries you find in the City and at a slightly cheaper price. The restaurant was nice and clean with the service attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back here again and would suggest you give it a try to. Price wise, including a bottle of Red wine, your looking at £40-£45 for two.
