Had the hot mezze platter and a chicken gyros. The food was fresh and really tasty, generous portions and good value for money. Will definitely be back.

I’m vegetarian and was thrilled with the variety here. I had the halloumi souvlaki, it was spot on! The pita was warm and soft, and the halloumi was perfectly grilled. Loved the laid-back vibe and quick service. Highly recommend for a filling, hearty meal

Thank you 🤩
A wonderful find. Great Greek food, typical menu of wraps, soyvlaki and burgers. Everything was made fresh and the service was fantastic. They were disabled friendly and took great care of my dog. This is a great place for a quick bite or catch up with friends. Maggie was our server and was absolutely amazing. We will definitely come back.
This was my second visit to the Olive and once again it’s been wonderful. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The lady behind the counter was really friendly and looked after us really well. I would absolutely recommend the restaurant and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for having us.

- Really looked after my son and made sure he’s got enough to drink. He also got a lollipop at the end, which was really lovely.

This place never fails to prepare a great meal- I can highly recommend the Chicken Gyro for quality and quantity, exceedingly excellent every time and value for money. Plenty of choice on the menu, and I’ve never been let down with any item, delivered or dining in.
The only gripe about this place (which is not their fault), is the place physically is on the small side. The good news though, you can book tables to avoid missing out. This is definitely the best Greek in Leicester, without a doubt!- Service

The Olive is my go-to lunch place now. Tried their lwrap and it was loaded with flavour and perfectly spiced meat. It comes with fries inside which was a game-changer. The rice box is great too – healthy but still filling and I love that you can add any protein. A solid 5 stars!

Tried the sharing plate with a friend and it was perfect loads of food including skewers, Greek salad, and those addictive potato fries. You can really tell everything is cooked with care. Finished off with the pistachio chocolate cake – wow. The Olive is a real gem for authentic Greek food in Leicester! 🙌

Been eating here (lunchtime) for a while and always been happy with the food. Nice, freshly prepared traditional Greek street food. Price is pretty good too. Staff are friendly and thankfully they have recently changed the seating around to accommodate more customers. Give it a try if your passing by I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Fantastic quality ingredients and yummy food! No frills kinda place with a decent number of options on the menu (including vegetarian), fast service, simple dining. The only slightly off putting thing about the place was the couple of TV screens with constant government/NHS covi…More reviews
Fantastic quality ingredients and yummy food! No frills kinda place with a decent number of options on the menu (including vegetarian), fast service, simple dining.
The only slightly off putting thing about the place was the couple of TV screens with constant government/NHS covid propaganda on loop!! No idea what that was all about, but I've not ate out for some time so could be a new thing for restaurants.
All in all, a perfect little place to enjoy some tasty and healthy food at a reasonable price. You can't go wrong!- Service

I've got to say, this little restaurant is a hidden gem. 6 of us ate there last night, and we all agreed the food was amazing! Don't normally do this, but we thanked the chef, as it was that good. Highly recommend this place and will definitely go again, next time I'm in Leicester.
