Olive and Basil, this small cafe tucked in Adyar serves relishing and delectable Chinese, Asian and continental cuisines. The décor is quite simple with black cushioned chairs and sofas that goes along with the light paint textures. They are known across the city for their pan Asian cuisine that includes a variety of Chinese and Thai dishes. The Olive and Basil offer some uniquely flavored momos and noodles.

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 part
Was not that spicy but was super yummy
Pan chicken was good.
A good place to visit with your friends
We tried the garlic chicken fried rice at last visit and the food was really delicious and well presented. Overall a good meal and great value we will certainly be going back.
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.
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)
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)
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.
( Gravy - rs 210, rice - rs 160, chopsey - rs 160)
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..
On the whole I wud rate the experience a 3.5/5 .
A really decent place to hangout with your loved ones. Food quality is great and staff is also nice. Veg fried rice and dragon paneer were awesome.
Went for dinner to O&B, the food and service was really good. What stood out was the overall upkeep of the restaurant. Poorly maintained. Not a place where you can comfortably eat without worrying about the hygiene. We ordered a bunch of stuff, soups and prawns in starters and American chopsey and a garlic based mains. The food was great and so was the staff serving it. I don’t intend to visit this place again but give a chance, I would be happy to order home delivery.
Good food Not much place to sit, Beware of the quantity of fried rice here it can be for two people.
I have been here many times... A great option for Chinese.. Corn kernels and Lotus stems are a must try for veg.. Schezwan veg rice is good not too spicy... Also this place has Zomato gold so you can get great discount...
Tip: call before going and tell them to turn the AC on. Good food and good service. Its a small space so ambience is decent. It's located on the main road so parking is an issue. If you go by bike still it's okay you can manage. No way for cars, you have to park it somewhere else and walk. Still the food was nice. Ice tea was not available when I went. I had Pan fried Chicken, garlic and Chilli mixed(chicken & prawn) fried rice, Lemon soda. Overall God experience.
Recent time favu spot for Chinese and Asian cuisine. Restaurant seems to be small and cute but the food really speaks out. We ordered atleast 5 to 6 items, each tastes delicious especisally their Chinese gravies were really good. Will refer my friends to cisit this place too.
A small restaurant with good ambitious. We went to this restaurant late night, but the staff were very kind and gave us the ordered menu with a smile. And then we came to know that they have closed the restaurant and only for us they remained open. The taste blended our taste buds especially American chopsuey soup Gravy.
What ever others say but I love the food what we had, we had tumpura prawns, honey lamb, manchow soup, fried rice, pat thai Noodles & more. Everything was very good & phenomenal in taste. Price is also reasonable but service was very very poor idk why.
Love the quality and quantity of good! Tasty momos at the best 😋 the place and ambiance is not that great, kinda small place! No parking availability is a huge concern as on my first experience had to go around the outlet couple of times to find a parking spot in the road.

We had great food here late at night, so parking wasn't a concern for us but would be if you're looking to dine in during day time. We ordered Momo's, cracker chicken, corn cornet and Szechwan fried rice. Every dish was absolutely good. And the place had a good ambience too. The staff were courteous and very responsive too. The pricing is also not too heavy on your wallet. The wash area could be better maintained though. Will definitely visit again.
Parking is the only point of concern. Rest all is good. Beautiful steaks and sizzlers. Zomato gold accepted. Toilets could be neatly maintained and better ambience from road to dining table is recommended.
It may have been one of the nice places to hangout in Chennai and so we tried out with my friends, but i found it really disappointing.
The food items were very mediocre, the service even more, we were the only customers(table of 6) one evening. They were preparing everything all at once. It took them half an hr to give us soup and then everything was dumped on us while we were eating soup.
