Very nice food, service prompt and efficient. Convivial atmosphere. Baklava for the table at the end of our meal a nice touch and they were delicious. Good selection of hot and cold mezze and main meals. Maybe the service could have been improved by being suggestive of what to order, in what combinations, etc. overall a very pleasant Sunday lunch with family and friends experience.

The food was succulent. we had salmon and sea bass as mains. They were both very juicy and delicious. The waitress was very pleasant. Two negatives but overall 1st experience is very positive: very noisy and tables for 2 people are far too small!

Food is fresh and very tasty. Love their Lebanese salad. It is bright with lemon and olive oil and one of my favorites. The chicken I had was well spiced and grilled with great flavor. Turkish coffee and Lebanese pastries to end it was perfect.

The food is absolutely delicious! The service is also just as good. The staff are super friendly and very welcoming. We sat at a table near the door and as other patrons were leaving, I could hear them all commenting how good the food was! Highly recommend Oliviya.

The lovely waitress was so kind even got me half a bottle of Prosecco (not on menu)! The team were ultra friendly and the food was delicious! It was quite loud though but the restaurant was packed so unsurprising. Thanks for a gorgeous evening!

I have never enjoyed Lebanese food as much as I had last night at Oliviya! Everything tasted superb, from the starters to the mains and the dessert. The chicken was cooked to perfection! Apart from that the ambiance was beautiful and the service was on point. The way they took care of us and my kids, from accommodating us when we ran late, to giving complementary drink to my kids. Overall great experience. Recommend 100%

Delicious Middle Eastern food with attentive service in a lovely setting. A nice selection of fresh salads and good selection of cold and hot starters. Tender chicken cubes and perfectly cooked rice. Possibly too thin pitta bread to scoop the tasty humus. Nice ambient lighting, warm colours and clean fittings. Hampstead needed this!

We came 21:30, the vibe was good with Arabic music, the food was tasty, the house wine was good, the desert was great. What else is needed?

A decent local Lebanese eatery. Smart surroundings and friendly service. Good portions and tasty food and although not top notch, one lamb dish was over cooked and I’ve had better chicken livers, it saves you a trip to the West End. That said, I would visit again.

We eat here often and it has always been very nice. Yesterday, being Sunday, they said they had sold out of many dishes. We tried to order 1 of their specialties but it was sold out. The very nice server suggested that we order the trio of kebabs. They were all very well done and dried out, like british cooking in the 80s. Pretty inedible.
