Started in 2002 by a Greek woman from Corfu and her Thai business partner, Olive now boasts five outlets around Bangkok and fills the niche for authentic Greek and Mediterranean fare that is hard to find in these parts. Elena Karoumi hails from Corfu and still makes all the traditional recipes her mother taught her to the pleasure of plenty of locals. The relaxing main restaurant on Ekamai Soi 12 serves excellent souvlaki, moussaka, tzatziki, and other Greek favorites along with Mediterranean staples like hummus and baba ganouj. There is also strong Greek coffee and plenty of sweets like baklava to make for a complete meal.
