Olive

Johor Bahru


One of several international restaurants overlooking Puteri Harbour, Olive is a good choice to enjoy Indian cuisine, cooking up a wonderfully tender Lahori seekh (lamb kebab with cinnamon, mace, nutmeg and green cardamom), a tasty prawn biryani, and lots of vegetarian options. The daily lunch (RM30) and dinner (RM35) buffets from 6.45pm on Friday and Saturday nights are popular.

There's undercover outdoor seating with air-conditioning and an alfresco bar overlooking docked yachts.
