Good cuisine, laughter, culture, and discussions all come together in a lovely melting pot at the relaxed, welcoming Olive Café & Bar. Olive is a way of life, not just a restaurant, and it’s ready to bring its distinct charm to Kolkata! The distinctive sun-dappled courtyard, sophisticated verandah, and lively bar are all characteristics of this Mediterranean-inspired retreat.

Among its regular features are a gourmet café menu created by Chef Jyotika Malik and handcrafted drinks made by lead mixologist Harish Chhimwal. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two with live grills beneath the stars, a boisterous night out with friends at the bar, or a relaxed lunch in the sun-dappled courtyard.

Take a day trip through their whimsical cuisine while lounging in the sunshine. They have bowls full of sunshine and goodness, salads that go shockingly well with their award-winning pizzas, live grills, decadent desserts, and classic Olive dishes. They also have mouthwatering small plates that will leave you wanting more.

The brand’s distinctive elegance was taken into consideration when designing the new Olive Café & Bar in Kolkata. Essentially, the area embodies the city as a muse philosophy, skillfully incorporating aspects influenced by Shantiniketan by Rabindranath Tagore. Olive is a cozy and welcoming place because of the natural light during the day and the romantic candlelight at night, as well as the white pebbled courtyard, bougainvillea blooms, and comfortable armchairs. Architect Vivek Popli and Design Director Sabina Singh overlay subtle coastal touches at every stage.

Olive adores its tunes. Listen to their carefully selected playlist of your all-time favorite jazz, oldies, and funky old songs that create the perfect atmosphere for a fantastic evening.

Signature drinks in their sustainability-focused beverage program strike a mix between Kolkata’s thriving and rich drinking culture and the renowned Olive history. Each of the menu’s three sections—Olive Signatures, Classic Tipples, and Olive You Kolkata—has a distinct personality of its own. Drawing influence from the city’s past and present, as well as its love of sweets, spice, and sour, the Olive You Kolkata area offers creative cocktails with a regional flair.

The Olive Café & Bar continues the passion and dedication of AD Singh and the Olive Group to provide a consistently excellent and high-quality experience. Their goal is to balance traditional cooking methods with modern approaches.

Chef Jyotika Malik, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in London with experience working at Marco Pierre White’s Michelin-starred Mirabelle and The Dorchester Hotel in London, contributes her own touch to the carefully crafted cuisine at Olive Café & Bar. They have bowls full of sunshine and goodness, salads that go shockingly well with their award-winning pizzas, live grills, decadent desserts, and classic Olive dishes. They also have mouthwatering small plates that will leave you wanting more.

The lunch menu features hearty, comforting, genuine, honest, and unpretentious food that draws inspiration from international cafes. The dinner menu is a little more sophisticated and primarily consists of Mediterranean dishes that are well prepared using premium ingredients.

The signature dishes include Sweet Pots, Super Bowl Salad, Gooseberry & Mango Salad, Artichoke & Celeriac, Ginger Salmon, Prawn Pil Pil, Lobster Linguini, New Zealand Lamb Chops, Olive Classic Espetadas, along with Churros with dulce and chocolate sauce, French Toast, and Tiramisu served in a picnic basket.

The drinks on offer are Yellow Taxi, Mishti Joy, Fire Cracker, Tolly Gunge, and Hoogly Ho! Gimlet.

The coffee menu offers a variety of distinctive and wonderful concoctions made with 100% quality Arabica beans that are carefully brewed both hot and cold.

The Northern Indian Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh is the source of their special hand-rolled teas.
