Olive Bistro

Top choice in Hyderabad


Located in a secluded leafy location with lake views from its terrace, this atmospheric restaurant is one of the hottest places in town for Italian and Mediterranean food. Choose from pasta, risottos, meat (like lamb ribs with roasted cous cous) or great seafood; try the gambas pil pil (prawns cooked in a garlic and hot pepper sauce).
