Olive opens 'Olive Bistro' in Hyderabad

Olive opens 'Olive Bistro' in Hyderabad
The Olive Bistro, the latest offering from Olive, one of the finest restaurant brands in the country, has opened its doors to food aficionados in Hyderabad.
Olive's brand philosophy is about creating spaces where life slows down, around good food, great friends and unforgettable experiences.
The Olive Bistro embodies this philosophy in a more affordable, trendy and casual avatar.
The new bistro sits perched high amidst the city's seven hills at the scenic Durgam Cheruvu, looking out over what the locals call ‘The Secret Lake’, on whose serene shores teals gather and peacocks strut. Its rough white walls and flowered alleyways of cobblestone are reminiscent of a sun-washed Greek island. Step inside and it's all stonework, unmatched furniture and old pictures - a classic rustic bistro with a huge, big heart.
The menu is a truly modern-day inspired bistro experience. It is comfortable and well priced, with delicious all day fare. Mayank Tiwari, Chef de Cuisine, heads the kitchen and along with his team brings to foodies in Hyderabad, his signature style of homemade crusty granary breads, wholesome sandwiches and burgers, delicate broths, wood-fired pizzas and luscious desserts to complete the bistro experience.
Signature dishes such as the Three Cheese and Wild Mushroom Frittata; Roasted Beetroot Ricotta Arugula and Candied Walnut Salad; The OB Beef Burger; The All Veg on a Thin Crust Pizza; Roast Almond and Creamed Spinach Ravioli; The OB Seafood Grill, The OB Pepper Crusted Fillet Mignon and desserts like Vanilla Panacotta served with Pink Peppercorn and Orange sauce, the OB Insanity Cake Slice, and the Olive Signature Chocolate Fondant feature on the menu.
The ambience couldn't be better – A combination of al fresco and indoor seating options, candles and restored art come together beautifully. Soak in the atmosphere while you settle down to a languid meal with soft jazz and world music playing in the background.
The space has been gently transformed and morphed by Sabina Singh and architect Vivek Popli. Sabina’s strong individualist style and expression is evident around every turn at the charming Olive Bistro.

Speaking on the occasion AD Singh, Managing Director, Olive Bar and Kitchen said, “I've been looking at coming here from over six years. Finally a combination of the right property, partners and market came together and as such I'm extremely pleased to finally open in Hyderabad. The best restaurants need to have the owners around talking to customers, taking feedback and always improving“.
Shaaz Mehmood and Shiraz Mirza, similarly say that “We are delighted to partner with AD Singh and open the Olive Bistro in Hyderabad. The beautiful interiors coupled with Olive's warm service and delicious food will provide a much needed experience to friends and fellow diners here. ”
