Olive Basil - Muscat

Its a nice place that has good food. The ambience is something unique, but still have a good vibe. I went with my friend and we wanted to try something new so we ordered the Honey Chilli Lotus Stem and it was delicious (more favorable for those who like the flavour of bbq sauce). Also ordered the asian bbq cottage cheese and pan fried chicken dumplings. The dumplings were cooked right and the chutney served along with it was great.

Schezwan chicken fried was the best partWas not that spicy but was super yummyPan chicken was good.A good place to visit with your friends

Its a wonderful place to have food with your loved ones. The restaurant was less crowded hence we were able to sit for a long time and chat and slowly eat. The food was really good and was quite pocket friendly too.

So I visited Olive and Basil, Adyaar a while back... My order was purely vegetarian.<br/ We started off with the Hot n sour soup. Damn it was delicious and it lived up to its name. Definitely a must try ! Rs 120)<br/ <br/ Pan fried Momos, my personal favourite, was cooked to perfection and the chutney served alongside was ultimate , it was spicy, and had an essence of coconut and spices and it was truly amazing. I literally sat and ate the chutney separately in the end. Rs 160)<br/ <br/ For the mains we ordered schezwan fried rice and schhezwan chopsey my fam's a huge fan of spice and vegetables in brown sauce for sides. The gravy was good... But the vegetables were a bit too large in the gravy for my liking... The broccoli seemed slightly undercooked. The chopsey was really good and crispy although the sauce was a bit more on the sweeter side... That was the only downside of it... The rice was perfect... Could have been a little more spicy though.<br/ Gravy rs 210, rice rs 160, chopsey rs 160)<br/ <br/ The biggest downside was the late service... Even though we loved the food... We got really tired of waiting for the food... Even a. Few who came after us were served faster..<br/ <br/ On the whole I wud rate the experience a 3.5/5 .<br/ <br/
