What a fantastic little restaurant in St Helens town centre.
It's a mix of Indian and Italian food. Which is quite rare to see. I ordered a lamb shashlik with garlic and coriander naan. All very fresh and made to perfection.
The poppadoms with a choice of 4 dips are melt on your mouth.
There's no bar licence so if you want alcohol with your meal, you can take your own and they will provide glasses with ice. Or, you can go next door to the pub and take it with you. We took a bottle of JD and a bottle of coke with a box of San Miguel beers.
The staff are so funny and helpful with a great sense of humour. Nothing is too much for them. They will and do anything you. So just ask them.
We were celebrating a 3way shared birthday, they even brought us a cake with a candle and took our photos all with fun and laughter.
5 meals of both pizza and Indian with poppadoms for starters cost £78. The portion are generous too.
The manager is fantastic
Table for 24 people
The food was gorgeous
The staff was brilliant
Will be going again
Highly recommend
Went last night with a friend. Really enjoyed it the food was tasty, a very big selection on the menu it took us a while to decide what we wanted. Our server was great really friendly and funny. Will definitely be returning and trying different dishes as there were loads i wanted to try
I would Absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Delicious food, lovely and welcoming staff, fantastic service. I have been a few times food is always piping hot and always tasty. Great menu lots of choice either Italian or Indian cuisine. Will definitely be back. It has half price deal on at the moment so even better.
Such a lovely restaurant. Staff were so friendly and attentive. My husband had Indian and I had Italian and both starters and meals were delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely come back

I am very very happy to re-review The Green Olive. This time we ate in, and with a party of 22!
Everything I mentioned in my previous review has been fixed. The food was out of this world and the staff, especially the female waitress (her name escapes me at the moment) were 100% on point, super friendly and very very helpful. As I mentioned above, we was a party of 22, so unfortunately we couldn't get everyone at the same table but this did not take away from the experience and from our reason for being there, to celebrate a something within the family.
I have rated the atmosphere as a 4 because for the life of me, I can't remember if there was any type of music being played or not but the restaurant was packed (unlike in my original review) and the noise of happy customers was very clear.
We will 100% be going back and we have since recommended The Green Olive to pretty much anyone who's asked us about nice restaurants 😁
Great job guys 👏👏👏
Got ourselves a takeaway, never been here before. The food was nice but we was missing some of the order so had to do a couple trips which meant the food we did have was then cold when we ate it. Staff were very distant, almost couldn't be bothered. We didn't eat in but kinda glad we didn't as there was zero atmosphere. Place was empty so wasn't even any noise from customers chatting and laughing etc.
Wasn't overly impressed with the whole experience.
We've been a few times now, the food is always brilliant and the staff and service is second to none.
Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back
Staff were really attentive and made us feel really welcome. All the food was really fresh, good portion sizes and very tasty - and there is a wide menu to choose from. The poppadoms for the table were gorgeous and came with little sauces that were also lovely. The meat in the curry fell apart in your mouth. Staff offered to bag up any leftover food to take with us. Would recommend.
As a new costumer, never been here before, I can honestly say it is a nice atmosphere and the staff was lovely. The food was amazing, was disappointed when I found out that they didn’t have Vindaloo on the menu but madras is close enough. Would be definitely coming again, would recommended going here and will be telling friends/family about this place. About time St.Helens got something good.
My friend and i went on a Saturday evening the service and food was amazing we had planned on going bowling afterwards however the food was so plentiful we ended up going home to get into comfy clothes 🙈. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough they also told us to come back midweek as its cheaper (they have offers on) but in all honesty i really didnt mind paying full price ! We even got a takeaway menu as we left. I will definitely be eating here again. Well done to all
