Was my first time here and I was craving something a bit spicy. Wanted to try their momo in Johl as it is something I have never had before in my life. Let me tell it you it's one of the best decisions I have made so far. The soup that the Momos came in was so delicious, well seasoned and with copious amount of ginger. It would definitely be on my must eat soup list when in feeling under the weather. In my opinion, the soup over powered the momo and I can't really how tasty the Momos were. Something to try next time.
We recently visited the restaurant. The service was amazing and the food tasted great. huge variety of momos...yummy food , highly recommended.
will visit again!
The inside is very plain and could do with some styling and character. How ever the food was absolutely delicious. The mixed platter entrees was so good. Mains and ice cream fabulous. Attentive waiter. Clean plate between entree and main would have been nice. Will come again!!
Great atmosphere with relaxing musics and services :))
Stopped by while in the area because we'd never tried Nepalese food before and we were seriously blown away by how good it was.
The mo-mo (Nepalese dumplings) were a definite high point, combining the best aspects of both Chinese-style dumplings with Indian flavours. We tried several varieties and jhol mo-mo (dumplings in soup) were a definite favourite. Give it a go!
The momos here are awesome, really enjoyed the vege momos and the tandoori momos! They were prepared super quickly too. 😀
Very nice! Hubby and I shared a nepalese mixed entree, hubby had a goat curry and me the Olive special lamb curry and shared a garlic naan. Can't fault a thing. Very very tasty.
Went there for dinner with a friend. Food was good but a little pricy as compared to decor. There was only 1 staff who was serving 4 tables and also managing the counter. She was polite and friendly but was quite busy. Will try them again but they are not on the list for Gold members.
Loved the food and also the service. Definitely will go back again.
We had Olive special chicken main which is Yummmm and Nepali Olive special chicken Entree
I was the first customer of the day for a takeaway meal. I placed my order and was advised it would take about 15 minutes. Butter chicken had plenty of chicken and the sauce was tasty with just a hint of chilli. Kadai chicken also had plenty of chicken and a rich tasty sauce. The onion bhaji was a bit too oily for my taste and not a lot of flavour but the small pottle of tamarind sauce helped with that. The staff are friendly and polite, everything looks clean and tidy and the restaurant is well set up with room to move between the tables.

I recently celebrated my niece’s second birthday at this restaurant, and I must say it was an excellent choice. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was perfect for a celebration, perfect party size area, perfect size area for chic and sophisticated decor style set up. The service was outstanding, with the staff being attentive and friendly. The staff even went out of their way to take a group photo for us to commemorate the occasion. Now let's talk about the food. Oh my, the food was simply delicious! The menu offered a variety of options. The mutton curry, chicken chili, dumplings, noodles (to name a few) were a standout. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or just a casual dining, take outs. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch, and we couldn't have asked for a better birthday celebration, and everyone had a great time. The combination of excellent food, impeccable service, and a lovely ambiance make it the perfect place to create unforgettable memories.
We also did dine in, take out, multiple times during our stay in Auckland, and this restaurant never disappointed. Me and my husband look forward to returning in the future when we visit again from USA 😊
Lovely restaurant. Beautiful food. My favourite was the Chilly Momo with Chicken. So so good. Will definitely go back
From the food to customer service, everything was so great about this whole restaurant.
Came for a visit after someone recommended it - Lots of yummmmm here!
Entrees were Garlic Tikka, Schezwan Momo, Garlic Momo
For mains we had Chicken Curry, Aloo Palak (potato & spinach) and garlic cheese Naan.
Glad we came and will be back to try more!
My first visit to Olive was at lunchtime on a weekday and my friend & I were drawn in by the beautiful aromas. The food was delicious & the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Service was outstanding- the meal was a totally unexpected delight. Surely this must be New Lynn's best kept secret? I was so impressed I went back for dinner a few days later with friends and everyone was super impressed. Namaste Olive! 🙏
Their service and food is top quality! The staff and owner are caring people who take good care of you. We’re regulars here and their menu has a great range of options. Covers each individuals liking.
Amazingly delicious Momos. Great service. Simply amazing.
Olive never disappoints with food and service.. I also want to mention staff name Ram, he was amazing and welcomed us with great smile and amazing service.. chicken tandoori was so tender and flavour full it was just perfect.Thanks Ram and all the chef for making our dinner amazing.
Food is very good here. Delicious, clear and balanced flavours. I have tried most of the famous Sandringham restaurants but by far prefer Olive.
They also have a lunch special which is delicious & very affordable -- I recommend the chicken curry or fish masala.
Great and tasty food. Was soo good I forgot to take pictures. Delicious, will be back for sure!
Edit: I had to go back and once again the food tasted really good. The dumplings are so yum! And this time I took a couple of pics 😊
