“ Food was absolutely amazing and authentic. Calamari was up there with some of the best we’ve ever had! Amazing atmosphere and the staff were so kind and attentive. We will be back! ”
“ Awesome. One thing to note is the mandatory service charge, service was great for us so happy to pay it, although not mentioned anywhere in the restaurant. Other reviews mentioned small portions, we did not find that the car, and I'm a big eater. We had a smashing sharing platter which was classed as a nibble, between us both we enjoyed it very much and were quite satisfied with just that. The mains arrived and my goodness the lamb shank was as large as I would serve to the whole family, the picture doesn't quite do it justice. The veg risotto was tasty, but lacked any interesting bits in, such as a garden pea, pine nut, olive or something like that, so ended up quite a homogenous meal. The shank was delicious and featured some tasty potatoes, long stem broccoli and beetroot which was nice, there was one cherry tomato which seemed to be maybe three by accident as it was solo. But really helped break through the very tasty but ultra meaty vibe of the dish. We had chips as a side which were utterly perfect. I don't think I've ever eaten so much meat in one sitting so we had no room for dessert. Setting and decor was nice with candle light I don't think we'd go again simply because we'd like to try other places, very happy we went for a romantic dinner. The imported beer was tasty as was the prosecco. ”
“ This little spot is just too cute. It is intimate so on busier nights, you may want to plan ahead. Servers are polite and very friendly, patient. But let me get to the main point which is, in one word... Moussaka. Been to Greece and this was as close to authentic you will find outside of Greece, as the Greek versions I tried had more eggplant. Overall...I recommend this little gem of a restaurant. ”
“ Went the last night with friends to celebrate my birthday and absolutely love this place! Best risotreto ever and spanikopita was out of this world! Plus the wine selections and recommendations are fantastic highly recommend anyone to go there ”
“ Greek Menu The portions were much bigger than we expected. Food was prepared for every order. The sandwiches were hot when delivered. Happy to get fresh mint tea, not a lot of restaurants have this options. You can ask the staff not to add any sugar into your tea. Prices were surprisingly reasonable. The tables and seats are not too close to each other. Clean and roomy toilets. The overall environment is comfortable for customers. I would return to try other items on the menu! ”
“ Hazel was great. Super quick service which I love and the food was amazing. Me and bf really enjoyed flaky cinnamon dessert and they looked after his nut allergy. ”
“ First of all, the food is delicious. I visited Cambridge one year ago and I had a business dinner there. Because I had good memories about that dinner, I decided to revisit the restaurant in this second trip. This time, in addition to the great food, I had a very pleasant experience with a darling waitress named Hazel, who made everything she could to offer me a great dinner. Also, I observed how friendly and patient she was with some guest next me who had very detailed requests. ”
“ Had a fantastic experience at The Olive Grove. Josh, our server, was great – so friendly and helpful with the menu. We were even treated to complimentary Prosecco to celebrate our engagement! The food was delicious and full of flavour. Great value for money and excellent service. It’s a shame this restaurant isn’t in London – we’d visit regularly. A must-visit spot in Cambridge for a great lunch! ”
