Dining at Olive Bar & Kitchen in Mehrauli is nothing short of an artistic culinary experience. This season’s vegetarian showcase features stunning plates that turn humble ingredients into stars. Each creation, paired with airy interiors and rustic tables, makes the whole affair feel thoughtfully elevated yet deeply inviting. A couple of items that we had a chance to try are as follows:
1. Purple Mulberry Potato and Turnip
Vibrant mulberry potatoes and tender turnip slices come together in a dish that’s as colorful as it is comforting. The chef’s plating lifts root vegetables into center stage, layering visually arresting hues with delicate, earthy notes.
2. Aubergine and Piementios
Eggplant reigns here, roasted and paired with piementios, likely Spanish-inspired peppers. Every bite balances smoky, creamy, and sweet undertones, with a beautiful garnish that brings out Mediterranean warmth.
3. Seaweed and Avocado
Fresh avocado joins marinated seaweed for a dish that is both creamy and briny—an appetizing start that feels clean and full of life. There’s a vibrancy from hidden citrus or greens that perks up every taste bud.
4. Mango and Brie
The surprising duo of ripe mango and silky brie cheese arrives as a gentle fusion—whether in a salad or dessert, it’s playful, lush, and elegantly sweet. It’s the kind of flavor marriage that lingers pleasantly, making each bite memorable.
Olive thrives on taking seasonal produce and pampering it with modern European flair, and the experience here is both soulful and sophisticated. Every dish is plated with personality, while the light-filled ambiance welcomes slow, lingering meals. Its a must try restaurant on the aisles of Mehrauli.
