Olive Cafe & Bar, Borivali, Mumbai

“A sun kissed terrace. A well-stocked bar. And a menu that takes you on a culinary tour of the Mediterranean and global flavours.”

The Rooftop at Sky City Mall, Borivali, unfolds as part of a large open-air terrace that feels relaxed and expansive. Tall ceilings and large windows flood the space with light, while whitewashed minimal walls, gentle arches and Olive’s iconic gravel retain the familiar DNA. A sculptural reed sun-ceiling installation becomes the heart of the restaurant, and swing seats overlook landscaped greens and the constant movement of the Mumbai metro beyond.

Bask in natural light by day or enjoy the dreamy ambiance of candlelight by night. Come here for a leisurely lunch in the sun-dappled terrace, a romantic dinner for two, or a raucous evening with friends at the bar. A gourmet café menu and freshly brewed coffee, bespoke drinks, hand-crafted cocktails are some of its everyday elements. There’s always a reason to celebrate the beauty that is Olive.

The outlet carries forward the Olive legacy, one that feels perfectly in sync with the city’s ever-moving heartbeat.

“Food inspired by travels is the real deal. The secret is to turn any dish you plate up into comfort food - soul satisfying, honest and unpretentious all at once.”
