Authentic Greek in the Heart of Halifax!
Experience the joy of authentic Greek cuisine at this delightful restaurant! With a warm, cozy atmosphere that's perfect for families, you'll be greeted with attentive service that makes every meal feel special. It's a wonderful spot to create happy memories while savouring delicious dishes!
Blue Olive Greek Taverna is a refreshing spot in Halifax with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that brings a bit of Greece to the city. The ambiance is charming, and the hosts are warm and welcoming, making it easy to feel right at home. The menu offers a nice variety of Greek dishes that are flavorful and well-prepared. It’s a pleasant change from the usual options in Halifax, and a great place to enjoy something a bit different. Overall, Blue Olive is a lovely choice for anyone looking to experience Greek food in a friendly, laid-back setting. Definitely worth a visit!
What a nice spot. Our server was very friendly, and even the owner walked around to check on everyone. The flavor of the food was delicious. Our only setback was that the food was not as hit as we like. We could have sent it back to be warmed up, but the food was too delicious to stop eating.
Blue Olive offers an exceptional dining experience that never disappoints. Every visit is marked by outstanding service and consistently delicious food, with the chicken spanakopita standing out as my personal favourite. To start, I recommend trying the kopanisti dip, tyropita, kalamari, or the saganaki—the presentation of the saganaki is especially fun and unique. As you enjoy your meal, the air fills with traditional Greek music, with the melodies of the bouzouki creating a warm, inviting, and vibrant atmosphere. It’s easy to feel as though you’re dining in a taverna by the sea, making each bite a small escape to Greece. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, I highly recommend Blue Olive.
I have known Blue Olive to be one of the best Pan fried Fish in the city and even with Take out it didn’t disappoint. I used to come here over a decade ago when I lived in town but now travelling in for business and staying locally I wanted to take a trip down memory lane. I ordered the pan fried haddock and some pita and dips and it was delicious. Took a while to get my order but it meant it was fresh and warm when I got back to the hotel. Price was great compared to some other more “trendy” restaurants. I will be back! Thank you.
Food, atmosphere, and staff were all amazing! Everything came out really quickly, and tasted absolutely amazing - cannot recommend the chicken spanakopita enough.
The food is awesome! All the dishes that we ordered were full of flavour and playful to the palate! The greek bruschetta was really good! Overall, it was a great food experience and I would love to visit again!
Truly delicious! I loved everything about this place, excellent service and divine food! The moussaka was delicate, very smooth with savory lemon potatoes & fresh salad 🥰 I also ordered family dinner from this place. We enjoyed chicken and lamb screwers with dips trio. Highly recommend this Taverna 👌
Ingredients taste like theyre from Sysco. Not fresh tasting.
The best service of any restaurant Ive been to in Halifax. We were a large, 9 person group of students. Both the owner and the server, Dimitrios made sure that we were taken care of. The owner offered us an extra dip on the house and free, extra bread. The food was fresh and prepared fast. To finish off the meal, the owner offered us free dessert to share as well. We could not have been served better. Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Three vegetarian mains, lots of veg dips and appetizers.
Great food, warm atmosphere. I great dining experience.
Wow amazing food amazing service amazing atmosphere
Feels like youre stepping into another country. Definitely a go to when Im In Halifax!
An update to a long time favourite restaurant. I have eaten in on quite a few occasions and also ordered a few deliveries. You can real tell the quality of a place by how they respond when something goes wrong. The last time we ordered food for delivery, there was an issue, (those specific details are not important). It was a busy Saturday night in the middle of service. When we called to bring the issue to their attention, it was brought to the attention of the people at the top. They immediately stated they would fix the issue. Then called to update us on the status of the replacement and when they were ready to leave. They were incredibly apologetic and made everything right. I was left feeling very happy with the overall interaction. Obviously accidents happen, it is how they responded that truely knocked this out the park. In the restaurant the service is always good and they are really friendly. Their food is fantastic and the portion sizes are good. I have always left there premises feeling full and satisfied. I will definitely be going back.
Had the Kotopoulo Stithos, was incredibly delicious will definitely come back here next time we are in Halifax. Service was and atmosphere was nice. Food
Awesome family owned and operated greek food!
Amazing food and quick friendly service :) can t wait to be back!
We came to this place for dinner, it took 1:45 for the busser to take our order because we asked him. The actual server never acknowledged us a party of 8 people. I own a restaurant in the USA and I can not believe the kind of non service provided at this location. As a matter of fact other guests after waiting for too long decided to leave. I really feel horrible about this location really dont understand how are they doing business. Definitely will never be back and Definitely will make sure everyone knows not to come here.
Great food. Service is quite slow and I asked the waiter for more pita bread which he did not bring until we asked again. Reservations recommended. We arrived at 7 pm and restaurant was nearly full and Very loud (maybe not great acoustics?) at one point it seemed like everyone was almost shouting to be heard - so not a great place for people who are hearing-challenged. Love the food. Scallops souvlaki is great! Parking: There was plenty of street parking available at 7 pm.
Absolutely amazing food, wonderful atmosphere and very kind staff. If you havent been here, I highly recommend it as your new Greek go to place
Very nice and cozy place. Great staff tzatziki was very delicious. Food : 5/5
Highly recommend this place! The food and customer service is perfect! I will definitely be coming back again
I know the food is normally excellent but the service was very bad. It took 45 minutes to get a glass of water. The manager was not helper the waiting staff and they were very slow serving people. We walked out after an hour waiting.
such a cozy place!!! loved the food :)
I don t go to Blue Olive often, but when I do go, the food and service is fantastic. It is a great place to celebrate a Birthday party for up to 15 people. Service was excellent! The staff and owner were super friendly! Everyone really enjoyed their food. They helped me cut and serve the cake. The finale of our dinner, was the birthday plate breaking-OPA! Thank you everything!
Blue Olive was a tasty treat with traditional Greek food at a reasonable price. We recommend it!
Cozy restaurant with awesome food and service. Jimmy, the owner, is friendly and welcoming. Feels like an authentic restaurant in Greece with the music, decor and family pictures on the wall. Try the dips as appetizers, calamari perfectly cooked and souvlaki dinner, delicious!.
Great Greek food and for a great price. The waitress was on top of everything. The feta is amazing, the Chicken Spanikopita was something new to me and the roast potatoes were to die for.
Love this place!!! The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing and the service is always wonderful.
This is by far the best restaurant in all of Halifax! The service, the drinks, the flavours of the most delicious food is absolutely incredible! The owner Jimmy works hard to ensure the best customer satisfaction. Our waiter, Sasha, has always treated us with the utmost respect and is #1 in our books! Thanks guys!!
I got take out this evening for calamari from Blue Olive. I got home after picking it up and I was really disappointed. The batter was soggy and falling off almost all the rings, and the texture was as chewy as beef. It was unpleasant and I could not finish it. I ve had good calamari before and this really underwhelmed my expectations. I ve eaten here before and ordered Yiayia s Pasta which I also didn t really enjoy since it tasted very bland and simple, like tomato sauce from the supermarket. However, my friend had another one of their pastas that I tasted and it was much better. Overall, I don t really know what to think yet and it seems that their menu items can be a hit or miss. I wish I could get a refund on my calamari.
What a Happy Valentines we had with beautiful meals from The Blue Olive! ( we did take out) We had company and everyone raved just how great the food was. Thanks once again to Jimmy and his staff for making our dinner the best! You remain my fav! We have more company coming from Whitehorse the first week in March. We will be ordering for sure!
My friends and I just had the most lovely experience here! We are all full and can t stop talking about how good everything tasted, how nice the staff were, and how homey the atmosphere was. We will definitely be coming back. :)
Hidden Gem a taste of Greece @ it s finest. A taste of Park Ex here in HRM. Great people great food & Jimmy Amazing Human!
i have had better real greek food instead old and dried up one
The best greek tabern in Halifax NS
Always great service , always good food , the rice and chicken to die for .. every dollar and every minute well spent . Thanks jimmy you the man
This is one of my all time favorites in the city! An actual cultural gem run by a family for generations. Food is always hot and delicious, its always what I negotiate for when its time for something different!! Food
Very good food, friendly service, very attentive, even if we didnt understand everything straight away, very nice.
I Love Love Blue Olive Restaurant
Always such great food! The 2 can dine souvlaki meal is incredible, and a great price. Highly recommend.
Love the atmosphere of this place- really felt like a warm day in Greece. The server was very nice, and the food was great. I would recommend the flaming saganaki to try!
Great Greek grub awesome
awesome food
Completely disappointed. The chicken I had wasn t t fresh definitely it was frozen before cook and also meal was too greasy and Customer service was horrible just waste of money not recommended at all pictures attached as you can see I didn t eat even 10% of my meal which I left the whole of meal left on my plate when you talked about tip waitress earn the tip with respect not to beg it like a beggar and I told your respected waiters my food is too oily and not fresh then she didn t feel like call the manager to rectify the issue and she walked away . Next time tell your waiters to be respectful to your customers and don t beg for tip please
Waited almost 2 hours for 3 meals. Very slow wait staff. Food was excellent though. I recommend take out to avoid the wait.
Ordered Solomos Skaras. It was not great, the potatoes were very tangy and salmon fish tasted raw and too fishy. There was skin at the bottom which tasted very bad
generous portions of some of the best Greek food youll taste in Canada.
This restaurant experience provides friendly staff and a very pleasant atmosphere, however I have experienced traditional Greek cuisine, the Blue Olive Greek came close 8/10.
Food flavor was excellent but a couple things. Souvlaki usually comes in a pita unless its a Souvlaki stick. And salade needs oregano and at least 2 olives. Potatoes and lamb was delicious. Food : 4/5 |
Food is excellent. Never a complaint when Im there!!
Very good food combined with a and pleasant low key atmosphere makes conversation easy. The owners or manager was very good about responding to a small hitch during ordering.
The atmosphere and service were very nice. The dips and dolmades were delicious. The salmon was well cooked but unfortunately the rice was cold. The Pasticio was lovely but the rice was also cold. Overall the atmosphere was excellent, the food was good and we enjoyed our time. One small thing would be that the washrooms could have been a bit cleaner. Dietary restrictions: Celiacs can enjoys the dips, sub veggies. They can also enjoy the dolmades, souvlaki plates, and the salmon dish.
Asked for a table for 3 at 7:30pm on a Friday evening. Host replied it ain t going to happen not we re booked or reservation only. We won t be back poor customer service off to Ella !
Lamb dish was very tasty, and great service.
Just went to Blue Olive for supper and it was fantastic! Food was amazing, atmosphere very pleasant, and the staff was very friendly! I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a high quality meal in Halifax
Wow! Finally found a Greek restaurant I d happily return to. Comfortable, cozy spot with excellent food choices. Pikilia Platter for 2. Nice selection for tasting. Shared the grilled lamb. Delightful cocktail selections and wine to accompany dinner.
Super disappointing. I was sooo excited for this, based on the ratings, but our meal was underwhelming in a few ways 1) The portions are the smallest I ve ever seen for greek food, which is usually very generous. Even the rice was limited. The chicken souvlaki skewers seemed cut in half compared to normal, about 5 inches long. I wouldn t mind if the quality was there, but it wasn t. 2) The chicken was definitely pre-packaged, not hand cut or tossed in seasoning. Totally cooked from frozen skewers that didn t string apart like real chicken. Potatoes were okay, but a bit too lemony, even tangy. Rice had almost zero flavour. Also, the baklava was very odd. Overly-spiced, almost pie-like, with a caved in filling. 3) On top of that, we never received our sides of tzaziki or greek salad. 4) Overpriced, for all of the above. Which again, I wouldn t mind if the quality was higher. It wasn t. Do not recommended at all. Sorry, Blue Olive.
One of my favorite restaurants. My absolute favorite for Greek food. Highly recommend! Food
Great food and takeout service! Would love to eat in here one day it s gorgeous
The owner was amazing. He checked on us countless times and he was extremely kind and welcoming. Very great service and food was amazing. Highly recommend this place! Thank you for the great service!
Best Greek food in Halifax! Consistently amazing food whether dining in or takeout. Restaurant is beautifully decorated with a warm cozy atmosphere. Options for vegetarians and carnivores. You wont be disappointed.
Always delicious
A very cosy restaurant with warm decoration and delicious food, I highly recommend this place! The owner is very friendly, I also recommend the Greek drink too.
Could not have asked for a better dinner for NYE. The chicken spanakaopita, has got to be rhe best thing I ever had. We just love this restaurant!!
truly excellent food and service, Jimmy will take care of you!
Ordered some takeout online for the family, was shocked at the great price, went to pick it up and had a wonderful/safe/fast pickup experience then brought it home to discover that it s excellent food as well. Truly well done - enough to leave a review at least!
Had the BEST takeout from Blue Olive this week!! We got the skewer family meal (an amazing deal), and some sides. Everything was so flavorful, well presented, and hearty. The spanikopita was maybe the best Ive ever tried, and the dips were delicious. Ill definitely order again, cant wait to try more!
Delicious food! Their potatoes are amazing and our waiter was very knowledgeable! The place is nice and clean, with a relaxing atmosphere.
EVERY TIME these guys are on point for the quality of food AND service!! We had such a great meal all around the table. Even one of my most pickiest friends came and she loved everything on her plate, that says a LOT! Thank you again Blue Olive for the delicious food, the wonderful service and the newly made memories!! I can t wait to come back again!
This place is hands down our favourite! Lemon potatoes are life! Thanks to Jimmy and the crew :-)
We had a fantastic meal at Blue Olive last night - The food was delicious as always, but what really shone was the hospitality. Jimmy made us feel very welcome and taken care of, and went above and beyond to make my wifes birthday very special. It was a lovely evening, thanks Jimmy! We couldnt recommend Blue Olive Greek Taverna enough!
My favourite Greek spot. Food is consistently excellent and served in a friendly environment.
Seems great not enough tables
After a ridiculously long week the Blue Olive came to this tired mamas rescue. A wonderful family meal without all the work! We ordered the souvlaki family dinner and it was AMAZING! My kiddos, 4 and 7 loved it. More than enough for everyone with seconds and leftovers for tomorrow! Will definitely be ordering this again.
Good food
Absolutely incredible food and customer service. I cannot recommend Blue Olive enough. Plenty of vegetarian options are available!
Amazing food. Very welcoming staff. Dinner specials are fire
The food is absolutely delicious !!! I will visit again for sure !! God bless this awesome place n ppl
Great fresh food with friendly service. I love the family meals and the variety of healthy options
The food is absolutely amazing. I have never had a chance to sit in, especially because of covid and restrictions. However, anytime I order takeout it usually takes longer than they say it will, so you end up waiting around the restaurant for an extra 5-10 minutes which isn t ideal. If they say 20 minutes just save yourself the time and show up in half an hour.
good food and vibes. OPA!
Lovely little spot for dinner or lunch. Food was tasty and the owner actually pulled down the front awning for us because the sun was in our eyes.
Amazing place! Wonderful service and delicious food! We celebrated our paper wedding anniversary last night and the waiter and cheff made us to feel very special. The place is lovely and the food was delicious! We definitively recommend this place.
Great place , tasty and fresh
Good experience and salespeople. Amazing food and service. 10/10 rate. 5 stars. Please go there. Totally underrated. $81.54 for three people with beer and dessert. Very filling. Please go there. I hope this is helpful.
Fantastic meal and a must go spot in Halifax. After eating our mousakka and scallop souvlaki we are heading straight to the travel agent to book a trip to Greece. It is that authentic. Service was great and food quality and quantity were top notch
Seen it for years from the outside, but went in for the 1st time & am glad we did. A great ambiance, delightful server, and the food was was the best Greek Ive had in ages. Well be going again.
These guys are doing it RIGHT! The food is so fresh and delicious. The service, on top of it, is nothing but the best. We are so lucky to have this gem in the city! Looking forward to enjoying and sharing with friends for years to come.
Best Greek food in the city! I always order from their website for delivery and it arrives fresh and hot under 45 min every time! Highly recommend the pita wrap combo and the rice pudding!
My lady and I stumbled across this place and we re beyond delighted with our food, was a warm welcoming environment, Jimmy and his family treated us like one of their own! Can t wait to come back for round two.
Authentic Greek food. Great service.
Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you Jimmy and Georgina!
Great food and great service. This is not fast food so be prepared to enjoy a nice evening out. The food was delicious especially the dips. The service was excellent with the waiter cracking jokes and ensuring we had a great time. We will be back!
Fantastic food, fantastic service. Would highly recommend.
The food is usually good, but the service has consistently been lacking. We have had them lose or forget our take out and delivery orders multiple times, they seem to be consistently understaffed which makes for long waits to pick up takeout. Orders often mixed up or are no longer fresh. Vegetarian menu has few options with protein.
It s hard to find Greek food in Halifax recently. So happy they are sticking around.
Unhappy with my first experience here. We had an online reservation but the restaurant did not receive it. Love Greek food and was excited to try this place for my 4th wedding anniversary but we couldnt be accommodated. I am still hope to try this restaurant because it was recommended by a friend.
Best calamari around, now that Athens is gone! Charming atmosphere as well.
Food was actually very good but my Moussaka had a sharp screw baked into it which I nearly swallowed (mistakes happen) I called to let them know and was told I would receive a call back. Nobody got back to me.
Tasty food and friendly staff.
Best tatziki in a long time.
Not a lot of quantity.
It was our first time at Blue Olive and it won t be the last. Our food was excellent and the staff was second to none.
I m sure food is good but if you can t be seated if you re alone, you have an opportunity to actually try it. Really should have disclaimer on website. I took a bus to get there on a rainy night at 5:15 pm and was told I couldn t be seated. I understand understaffing but do better.
Amazing!
Great food, staff and fair pricing!
Always a great atmosphere. Owner is amazing to deal with. Amazing amazing. Try it out.
Had the take out. Was a very good supper!
Amazing food every single time! Fantastic service. Blue Olive is an excellent local business and a treasure to the community!
This is the best Greek food in town hands down! I have been coming here for years and it s always been an amazing food and service here consistently.
Wonderful greek Food ever you taste
This place has hands down, the best Greek food in Halifax and absolutely incredible service! Thank you Jimmy and the whole staff for your fantastic work!
I like chicken souvlaki more than lamb but everything was so good!! The plate was so big we couldnt get dessert but were coming back soon for sure!! Any recommendations on desserts are highly appreciated
The Blue Olive NEVER disappoints!! This is the first time we have ordered take out. The staff are always amazing, even for pick up! Fourth time in total eating here and the food is always full of the best flavours and so fresh!! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant (and Ive tried many similar).
Best Greek food in Halifax
Very attentive and respectful staff, beyond what would normally be expected. Very fair prices for such delicious food, and a small intimate atmosphere. Definitely recommend for a date, family dinner, or any occasion. Best dining weve experienced in Halifax since 2 years.
Awesome! The chicken with spinich and feta cream sauce was to die for. Cost atmosphere, great service and the food was wow.!
Excellent food and service
Feels like I was back in Greece! Awesome food and authentic
Excellent staff, service and delicious food at a reasonable price.
Simply awesome! Thanks as always Jimmy and crew!
Best place for Greek in HRM. Never disappointed.
Best greek food in HRM!!
Love this place! The food is delicious (large portions, perfectly flavoured, and well cooked) and the atmosphere is great for casual conversations. My wedding party and I wanted to stop by after the ceremony (outside of their regular hours) and Jimmy was able to make it happen! We had the place to ourselves and they even brought out a special dessert platter with baklava and rice pudding for everyone. Would highly recommend!
Never had a bad meal here! The food has always been delicious (highly recommend the moussaka) and the chef pops out regularly to check on the diners which is appreciated. The staff we have had have all been very kind and accommodating with great drink recommendations.
Everything is delicious, best tzatziki ever!
I ordered a mix of starters and a few skewers for take out last night, less than an hour before closing. They were clearly extremely busy, but we got our food within half an hour, and it was well worth the wait! The food itself was fantastic. Best ingredients, very well made, and good quantities too. The service was great despite the late hour. Will definitely go back again! Highly recommended.
Had the soulvkai family dinner, it was excellent!
Excellent food , really fresh ingredients..small place but worth going though.
Our favorite place to get Greek food.
Great food and service. Enjoyed the table-side flaming cheese and calamari appetizers. Entrees of souvlaki of chicken and lamb, both juicy and spiced perfectly. Waiter and waitress friendly and helpful and restaurant stayed open for us as last customers. Highly recommend
love the food and the staff
I ordered food for delivery and was disappointed that there was no cutlery provided as well as no napkins. Before placing the order, I called the restaurant to verify that they still deliver to the Oxford Taproom, which they did, thinking that they would supply cutlery. After placing the order through their online delivery system, I was given a 40 min wait which is completely acceptable given that it is a busy summer day. After 57 mins of placing the order, I called to check on the food and was told it would be there shortly. An hour and 10 mins after placing the order, the food is delivered without cutlery and napkins. When I called to ask about this, a few hours after eating, I was told that the taproom I had my food delivered to had been supplied with cutlery and napkins. No apology was given and I was disregarded and hung up on. Very bad service. This is not how to treat customers. I was also given the excuse that the Blue Olive is short staffed and that was why the food took so long. I work in the food and beverage industry and would NEVER tell someone that the reason their food was delayed was because of staff shortage.
Decent but the portions are small. I ordered salad and got a plate of shredded lettuce.
The food was super ,and the employees were so nice and helpful.looking forward to going back soon
My parents asked my partner and I to take them here for their anniversary, as its their favourite restaurant in the city. I can see why! Our starters (saganaki, shareable platter) were delicious, our mains (lamb, seafood pasta) were mouth-wateringly excellent, and our dessert (baklava) was to die for - some of the best Greek food Ive had. The servers and the owner were all extremely warm and friendly even though they were short tonight - they were clearly working hard to make sure every customer was enjoying their experience. Thank you for your kindness, your amazing food, and for ensuring my parents had a special evening. Well be back next time were in town, and my parents will continue to sing your praises in the meantime!
Always great
My favourite Greek Restaurant! Very good food and attentive service. The owner will visit your table, if time allows, to check on your satisfaction. Nice atmosphere.
So good. SO GOOD. Go there. Get going. Do it. Do it now.
Great service. Scallops were cooked perfectly! Had a roudy guest but staff handled them perfectly. Even offered us desert or 20% off our next visit. Owner was amazing 100% will be back on our next visit.
We went there for my birthday dinner tonight and it was the best experience in a restaurant that Ive had in years. The staff was phenomenal and the food was beyond amazing. My whole family enjoyed every bite they ate. Would highly recommend this place !
Weve ordered from here many times and the food has always been amazing. Everything tastes super fresh even though its a bit of a drive to deliver to us. Quite possibly the best Greek food weve ever eaten.
Always a good time going here. Lots of delicious eats on the menu. Great staff. Bonus: if its your birthday you can smash a plate on the floor!
Best Greek in Halifax
Excellent as always!
The best Greek food I have had in Halifax. Dont forget to order the flaming cheese appetizer for your table!
It s rare to find good Greek food in Halifax (I m Greek so I m ahem picky). Blue Olive doesn t disappoint. I highly recommend the spanakopita/tiropita for apps. Kopanisti is mouth watering. The chicken spanakopita is decadent and Jim is the epitome of a gracious host and filled with Filoxenia
Embarrassing. I brought my friend here from Greece and was very disappointed and embarrassed by the tiny charred, tasteless bits of dry excuse for the lamb souvlaki. The Greek salad had not 1 cucumber but tons of romaine, which is not a true Greek salad. My daughters moussaka was burnt, dry and tiny. Just terrible. Will NOT be back. Ruined our night.
Ordered take out for some friends. Some of the best Greek food I have had in awhile. My friends agreed. Also, nice to talk to the owner, Jimmie, he is the best
I absolutely loved the Blue Olive. The staff were amazing as was the food. I will definitely be going back here.
The food was excellent, the staff was helpful, pleasant and engaging. An excellent place to enjoy tasty Greek food, especially if you like garlic.
Thank you so much for the food, we just ordered for delivery and everything was delicious!
Second time we ordered the Family Meal for four to take home. Great tasting food, professionally packed and presented and a great price. Completely contactless with curbside pick up.
fabulous food and wonderful service
Just ordered the family feast. Awesome experience all around. Easy to order. Delivered to our door. The food was amazing and so was the presentation. Not our last order
Food was yummy as always. Love the lemon potatoes.
Delicious food, quick delivery, well packaged. Very easy online transaction & social distancing delivery was easy. Enjoyed the grilled chicken souvlaki plate with roasted lemon potatoes, rice, tzatziki and Greek salad. Will order online again !
The Blue Olive is our favorite greek restaurant in Halifax! Its dining room is closed due to Covid-19 so we ordered take out. It was easy to order online and ready in time and delicious as usual. Always great food and service from this place!!
First time getting food from Blue Olive. It was Excellent. We hope to be able to visit the restaurant in the future when everything is open again.
The chicken kebab meal for two came with four generous skewers, ( lamb, beef ,veggie and mixed are options)delicious roast potatoes , rice and a large greek salad. The best recommendation I can give that family ordered it two nights in a row....and its on our menu again . A definite 5 stars and it will be our take out first choice until Covid restrictions are over and we can sit at a table , hopefully outside , order wine and share the meal with friends. Thanks Blue Olive. Fantastic meal.
What a treat! I was in town staying at a local hotel and ordered from the Express menu. I was really looking forward to my order and wasn t disappointed. I ordered the Feta & Olives to start, Chicken Spanakopita for an entree and a single beer. The order arrived on time, and to temperature. Each dish was very flavourful and tasty, reminiscent of Greek restaurants on the Danforth in Toronto. Of course my Stay the Blazes Home Garrison Beer was ice cold and complimentary! Can t wait to come back to Halifax!
Very tasty lamb souvlaki.
Grate place for breakfast , Greek food at its best
Another lovely meal at th Blue Olive. Jimmy makes the whole experience a pleasure. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Went there cause it has good reviews on google. But got very disapointed. I waited for 40 minutes for just a soulovaki plate. The food was not good, the size of skewers is small and it was cold, meat and rice was cold, and only potatos was hot. And for such kind of eatery it is overpriced. The only thing was good is waiters service. I would better go to some chain greek restaurant. Wouldnt recomend this place.
Ordered the chicken and pork Skrews and Greek lasagna. The lasagna wasnt very good. But the rest of the meal was terrific.
Excellent meal. New in town and had no recommendations. If you like Greek food, you went to try them out!!
Excellent food.
Great service. Souvlaki and potatoes were tasty.
Just excellent! The lamb I had was perfect and Ill be back regularly now that I know what Ive been missing.
The food is absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last!
This was such a lovely experience. The staff were wonderful. The restaurant was so clean and organized and the food was phenomenal and reasonably priced.
Great staff- order chicken plate.. yummy! And salmon which wasnt very good unfortunatly.
Had supper here tonite with my daughter & we both very much enjoyed our meals. Great staff and location, we will definitely be back. Many thanks Brendan & Lily
just had the souvlaki dinner for 4...thanks, Jimmy, it was spot on
! Yum
Location is good in the city, however parking is issue in this location. Decoration and layout: the restaurant is small to medium size, decoration is cozy and warm takes me to Greece. Colours is ok. Cleanliness, is extremely clean, they clean the tables and changes the table covers (which is really appreciate it) Services, I was expecting to see water for each person on the table. However we had to ask for it. Timing, I my opinion, it took in expected and more than usual time to get the food. Which I see it is not plausible. Quality and quantity: quality of the food was nice and testy, I like the preparation but quantity I did not feel I am full. Prices I see the price was $$, Conclusion: it is nice to try it as probably my experience is different.
Wow. This place was amazing
Had a very good lunch
Great food....fun, quaint atmosphere!
The food was very good, and I enjoyed my dinner
I think this is the second Greek place to occupy this location ... and boy do I have a story about my experience at the first iteration of this establishment. But I wont tell it because Im not sure if its the same owners. 3 stars!
The pits bread was untoasted kalimari was thin and boring had twelve ravioli for 17 bucks. Wine was good
They serve a wicked Greek salad. Yummm
Food and service always excellent. Good value too.
