Olive Indian Restaurant

You'll find Olive tucked away on Lawn Lane, in that stretch of Hemel where you've actually got proper independent spots worth seeking out. It's the kind of place where the kitchen knows what it's doing with spices—not dumbed down, not trying too hard. Walk in and you're met with the real deal: competent, unpretentious Indian food that takes care of itself. The sort of restaurant where people come back because the food's reliable and the portions won't leave you hungry. It's not fancy-pants or designed for Instagram; it just does the job brilliantly.
