1 review about Oli & Ari

verified email - 14 Apr 2013

Every Thurs and Fri we go for brunch. I love trying new places and was especially looking forward to Oli & Ari. I had my eye on the Armenian breakfast pizza but I usually have poached eggs. Upon entering I think the owners were having a smoko outside. Inside staff were aloof and I didn't feel welcome. I sat in the most uncomfortable seats and had to move. The clientele were older women (mothers I presume) who lived in the area (you can hear whole convos here)...they like to get their hair done and pick at food. I love my food and I was here with the sole purpose of eating every bit...I ordered the pizza after asking about it and partner ordered a breakfast salad.
My pizza was not was I envisioned having had traditional Armenian food and it was just fatty and dripping with oil. The waiter had served it to my male partner so it was uncomfortable to have the 'oh I assumed as there was a salad it was for a lady'...anyway after that awkward moment I looked a his dish. Mint and other TINY bits of string green stuff with 1 poached egg. And it cost so much! I was flabbergasted. I couldn't eat the pizza, we swapped plates. The staff especially owners/managers NEED t be more inviting. The food quantity and price not good at all. I can see they want to attract a certain type of customers but this was a disappointment for me. Went out for coffee somewhere else after this and had a sandwich!

Approximate cost: $50
