Being from Latina America you donβt have too many options in Chennai, and I was craving for Latin America food so we decided to give a try to Hola, I need it home food that include beans!) First impression: great rooftop tables with light candles, but it seems that the table cloth was old, anyway the guys were very helpful even with a lack of English. Drinks: horrible! Taste was cheap, you had to be kidding me, blackberry smoothie was bad that I didnβt finished scare that I was going to be sick after, lime soda was tasteless.Appetizers; nachos! Was very tasty but for the price you expect more nachos, the presentation is nice but still, so less nachos for that priceBurritos: gosh first impression was : β why the tortilla has this colorβ but the taste was really gooooooooood! Love it! I missed this taste so much, thank you guys!Chicken was really tasty!Price: you expect to pay this for Mexican food in other country, but you also expect this price includes really good drinks, cleanliness bathrooms and really good staff, that it just doesnβt have it... π€·π»ββοΈ good they have parking space but even the parking guy wasnβt very helpful. Anyway maybe you should come with less expectation and if they reduce the price a little it will worth the try!
The location in which the restaurant was situated is a big star for itComing to food, I found mostly continental type of food rather than Indian style biriyani (because I went an expectation of having biriyani)The taste is not sooo great compared to the price .Rather than expecting taste here, you will be satisfied with beach view from open top( open roof top is open from evening only l, so note it)I went here from dine in app so I got a discount of 50% , even though after getting such discount I felt little pricyPros-If you want to spend time with your loved ones with good viewsJust go and try the beach viewCons-*Too pricy*Washroom for hand wash accommodates only one person at a time, So you should be waiting in queue when it is rushWhich I felt disgusting
One of the absolutely useless restaurants of today..The quantity of the food served will just make u go nuts.. they hardly could cater to my 9yr old son..Taste is recommendable but very disappointed with the service and quantity..I heard the waiter passing sarcastic comments on the guest who jus left.. Id never opt this restaurant wat so ever..
We had come on a week day, so the crowd was less and the delivery was really quick. This place had a great ambiance and enjoyed the music mix. The food was really good. We tried out one dish from each category. We dint find any complaints in any of the dishes. They only had chicken and fish, so we couldnt try out the mutton and lamb dishes. I loved the chipolte sauce in the dishes. The dishes were a bit pricy, but using zomato gold they were quite affordable. Overall the experience was great. I would visit this place again next time.
It was an amazing experience. The environment is serene. A very good place to dine with friends and/or family. A couple of miles away from the beach.The pleasant view on the rooftop is appealing. However the top is not as aesthetically appealing as the indoor (at least during the day). If only they will put more attractive dinings at the top and make it more insulated from heat. Overall, I didnt regret spending my money there.

Itβs a pleasant Rooftop Restaurant with a great beach view. This place is perfect for your romantic dinner getaways. Beautiful dim lights and ambience are enhanced with their delicious dishes. They have variety of cuisines but try their pizzas and pasta which are the best. The place is right near Elliotts beach so when you are visiting , try this restaurant too. They have two levels so you can manage to get a seat even on weekends but in case you wanna go for rooftop then call them in advance. Have fun dining and enjoying the Ambience!
Located near the Bessy beach this place has an absolutely stunning indoor and outdoor (terrace) ambience with outdoor turning into a candle light setting as dusk falls.The food here is pretty expensive and not really worth the price as you can get better quality food for the same price in more exquisite restaurants like Little Italy and soul garden.If u wanna have a romantic rooftop candlelight dinner then this is the place for u.The service is pretty good.OVERALL RATING: 3/5
Such a calm rooftop restaurant which opens only for dinner. The menu is good and their sauces are so tangy. The ambience is good and Service was prompt. During summer the rooftop is hot in the night also. Management can take put up shades or place plants pots to cut down the warmth.
One of the best places to have Mexican food.My favourite was the thin crust pizza.
Really great ambience. This place has a beach view and a comfy decor but the service is really poor. The staff does not take orders properly and serve with dawdling feet. A little disappointed because the ambience is so good and it could have been an amazing restaurant had they tried a tad bit more to up their service! Would not recommend.
Thinking of going to a rooftop restaurant with awesome ambience? Be ready to burn a hole in your pocket!BUT WAIT.Not when you decide to pick Hola! This place has a beautiful rooftop ambience with a nice sea view. The food is amazing and the friendly waiters are an icing on the cake. Ive been there twice and cant wait for my third trip there!Must try!
Typical french restaurant. If you are comfortable with the taste of authentic french food, the cheese, flavour and dishes please do visit here. Dont expect the taste of dishes in Indian way. Price is nominal. For a couple: ordering a soup, appetizer, pizza and desert will bring 1200. The rooftop candle light dinner experience with the sea breeze and chillness will make your dinner more romantic and tasty.
Just an above average place..... Cleanliness needs improvement.... Waiters with better knowledge is appreciated.The restaurant has a place at the roof top also but the wash area for the same is at the second floor.However it has great views from the rooftop. For was above average.....
The restaurant is roof top with a great beach side view so this place is perfect for your romantic dinner getaways. Beautiful dim lights and ambience are enhanced with their delicious dishes. They have variety of cuisines but try their pizzas and pasta which are the best. The place is right near Elliotts beach so when you are visiting , try this restaurant too. They have two levels so you can manage to get a seat even on weekends but in case you wanna go for rooftop then call them in advance.
Good restaurant for a cozy weekend dinner. Not very crowded. Ideal for a small group of friends or family to enjoy a nice meal. Not much variety in the menu, but nevertheless we had a great time as a group of friends.
Extremely disappointing experience. I ordered 3 different dishes: mushroom starter, ravioli, and sizzler. All 3 are supposed to be very different. (At least according to the menu). But when I ordered it, they used the exact same sauce/base to make all 3 items! So it was like eating the same dish over and over again!They couldnβt even take the trouble to prepare different items so they dumped the same dish on our heads, not even a slightly modified version.Their βI donβt careβ attitude made me want to walk out of the place.They were playing deafeningly loud Hindi songs on the radio. Repeatedly telling them to bring down the volume fell on deaf ears.
The roof top ambience facing the beach was great, but the food was average!! If you want a great place to relax and enjoy with friends and loved ones, its a place to be!! If youre a foodie, Im afraid its not so!!!
Best place to enjoy food in roof top in sea view cold coffee and chicken chipotle was awsm
If youre looking for a place with a great beach view but minus the crowd, this one is it. Choose the rooftop for a panoramic view of the beach, along with some good food.Great place in the evenings. Food is slightly on the expensive side though. Worth it.
The food is good. Definitely priced high.Their customer service definitely needs to be improved. It took us reminding them 3 times to get hot water.
The BestWell, Being that I dont have much experience in these type of hotels, Still I would say this is the best roof top restaurants. The menu is excellent, service is awesome and the food is delicious. Nothing more is needed from a restaurant. Providing candle light dinner without ask is a plus. The view is topnotch. I will always recommend this hotel.This restaurant is forever going to be in my memory for reasons that cant be disclosed.(At least for now :-P)
The lift was not working and the staircase very unclean. Service was very slow. Needs to improve on these fronts. The rooftop breeze and selection of dishes was some savings grace.
Good pan pizzas. Smoothies were great too. But the best thing about Hola is the decor and the ambience. It has a spacious rooftop, not congested like Mash.
Dreadful experience couple of days back. What was expected to be a memorable lunch with old pals was screwed up! First the pasta served was uncooked to spoil the fun, only to make way for a nasty surprise with a screw, yes a screw in the quesadilla! It was sheer luck that it was caught between the tooth before it could be swallowed down, cant imagine what would have happened if it were not for that. Needless to say my friend had an aching tooth and upset diet. To our chagrin neither the chef nor manager was around to explain this ghastly affair.As compensation for the sorry state we were treated to a free dessert which was we gobbled down with trepidation!Will never recommend it to anyone, and would walk down to the beach to get a better view. Such a lacklustre service with no accountability is appalling to the core.
Had veg food (pasta and pizza) here and all dishes were good. The best aspect of this restaurant is the ambience, it has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area offers good views of the beach.
I have never left a negative review in my life. Unfortunately, the standard at this restaurant was very poor. We friends actually searching for a nice restaurant to hang out and to have good food. And finally we thought of going to Hola Restaurant. Now where do I start? Having entered the restaurant, we saw that the rooftop which was displayed everywhere in the google reviews (pictures of ambience) and also we booked the same, was under renovation and we had to wait for several minutes to be greeted and seated inside the restaurant but unfortunately not the rooftop area. It was quiet a bad ambience. And those waiters was so unprofessional and they dont even know how to talk and they dont even put an effort to explain us about the recipes in the menu card. The menu cards very ABSOLUTELY disgusting, covered in oil and all sorts of dirt with the foil peeling away from the paper . We ordered Potato wedges, soup (which tastes like a pizza sauce dipped into a bowl of hot water and some veggies), nachos, pizza, pasta etc., We had as our starter, was nothing more than slices of potatoes and some ketchup. And what not, I have experienced the Worst service. Honestly, the best bit of food (only dessert) we had there, was the soft-centered chocolate cake which was also somewhat okay. For each and every food, we felt like the same taste, same spices, same salsa, same veggies, which has nothing to do with different recipe names. Lasagna was absolutely terrible.Believe me, dont go with the names of the recipe, they dont even know, how to make a normal white sauce. Honestly, I never complain in a restaurant, if you charge people, and quite a bit of money, you must give something back. I will never go there again !!! It was terrible !!! Dont be fooled, this place has nothing to do with Italian and Mexican food, and the service was very poor. KFC would have been a better choice ! Go for it guys!!
Main selling points for this restaurant is the ambiance and the roof top view you get. It makes the whole dining experience great The menu is more inclined towards Italian and Mexican dishes which are really good, no downside on the food, though some dishes can be bland. Price is a little in the higher side, but that is something youd anticipate from a place like this.
Roof top restaurant in middle of buildings. Waited for more than 30 mins after being booked the table. Food was good.
Good Food. But the ambiance and staff service should def improve. If not for the service delay, food was really good
Restaurant name has been changed, the candles and for are entirely changed. Food are tasteless.. I will never come back again.. very disappointed with the menu. When I ordered Alfredo sauce pasta but I have got some Kadi pastaπ π which is horrible
Food is not really worth the pricing but definitely a cosy place for a couple. The view from the terrace to the beach is good but could get really humid, so a little bit more ventilation would make it better. It is at an ideal place but a little difficult to figure out since there is no sign board that meets the eye level. Overall a good place to have a good time.
This is a great place with overwhelming ambiance. Family as well as singles can have a great time and enjoy. :) Awesome food and applauding service.
Nice one.. But it should have wash basin or rest room to get fresh after coming from the beach
To be frank ,I visited this place with a lot of expectations. But the place didnt meet them . You get a good view of the sea on the rooftop. The ambience is not so very good and I didnt love their food too. It tasted average. I felt the place is expensive.
Wanted to try out Mexican food at Hola. Tried the Veg Taco and Veg Quesadilla. The taco was nice and crunchy. So were the vegetables. It turned out to be really good.The Quesadilla was little bit soggy. I prefer it to be slightly crisp. The taste was wonderful though. The side portions of salsa were fresh and good. Large chunks of tomato but the sauce part didnt hold the tomato.On the minus side, the portions could be bigger.Very friendly staff and excellent service.
Seriously it is taking a lot of time. Frustrated to order more than one dish. Taste is good but the waiting time and service is below average
The rooftop restaurant was good. Food and service was great!! Definitely worth the visit
Ambiance is good. For first timer it is like a puzzle what food to choose. Great experience
Good food. Excellent roof top service. Superb view. Do give it a try.
You can get the best of Italian platter here.Mutton Lasagne is my favorite here.The store has unique desserts in place, that are made of chocolate π«.They also have some cool mojitos here.Sizzlers are special here. Both veg & Non-Veg include well cooked mashed potato with garlic cheese sprinkled on it.#yummy4tummy
Bad xperience with my family..we order 3 dish all were prepared with same sauce so the dishes taste same.. rooftop restaurant view was good but not maintained properly. Very costly..less quantity..
It has a great view, not sure about the food but they didnt even have coffee or tea to drink when we were there.
Beach view and good food go hand in hand. And Hola is on point with their food taste and ambience
The place is good and I went for a dinner at the roof.The food is delicious and I recommend it for a romantic dinner.
The place looks less maintained. When we reached there I saw left over pasta on 2 tables. Being an Italian restaurant left over pasta is a bad sign. Late I ordered it myself. The mushroom in the pasta were tasting as if they were fermented. I left it also.
An above average Italian restaurant near Besant Nagar beach.. when we went on 1.1.19, the lift was not working and had to climb up to the second floor.Food was ok though not great..One can enjoy the taste only if they like Italian delicacies. Views from roof top is appealing. Place appear not well maintained. Location and roof top view are high lights of this place.A good place for small groups to enjoy. Price , though is on ahigher side. Will give an overall 3.5 stars..
Good food and ambience. Found this place to be less crowded at Besant Nagar although food is of great taste
Good place and food is really good
Roof top restaurant. Great ambiance.. Breezy as it is adjacent to Beach.. Fine dining
Except for the time taken for the dishes to arrive, everything else was too good at Hola. Rooftop is a plus here. Paneer Shaslik Sizzler, a must-try!
Though the place is good, too costly it is. And not much variety to satisfy customer.
Service and hospitality was not that expected.. But the view and ambience is worth it.
The pizza has a few strands of hair which the mgt was not apologetic about. When we asked for a discount, we were told the drink will be made complimentary. However an exorbitant service charge was applied. This is very mean and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Worst customer service. We had a reservation through eazydiner and when we reached the place they said they blocked all the reservations from such online portals. They even did not try to offer us seat and they said they have communicated such online portals to stop online reservations. The persons behavior is such bad and rude.
Nice pizza! Great view
Just okay place if you are a food lover because the taste was just okay and not great for the price they charge. Good if you want to spend sometime inside AC and have a conversation while having your meal and the place is next to beach so you can finish your meal and go for a walk to besant nagar beach.
Its amazing .....price worth the foods taste & quantity...Ambience is so lovelyyyyy!!!!!β€especially the rooftop is priceless....loved itt
Good location. Decent tasting food ( I am vegetarian. Tried pasta, soup and naachos). Open terrace seat arrangement is the USP.
I would give a 5star .. The best crispy π Eva.. Best place to hang out with your partner.. Price way too costlier than normal pizza corners
Very good food, very slow service.
Food is really good. Will excite your taste buds for sure. Staff is really courteous and its right next to the beach.
The place especially the rooftop is good.. But the staff keeps coming and disturbing if we dont constantly order even though we run up quite a high bill..
Awsm ambience, beautiful beach view.. Night time is best to be there with loved ones to have a beautiful candle light roof top dinner
The location and view is pretty good. Can improve on the ambience and food.
Decent Italian fare, however the lasagna was very disappointing. It fell apart and was completely overcooked. Most dishes are a tad bit pricey for the quality and quantity.
Nice place, not so authentic though.. their definition of a tortilla needs to be redefined.. expensive for the quantity being served
Pleasant rooftop restaurant
Not so economical but a good place to have Mexican cuisine with few italian dishes as well. Good place for romantic getaway along the Besant nagar beach. Great food, good service
Great place good food and a a nice view if not for the high back couches
The food that I ordered had an aluminium cleaning coil piece. Completely spoiled the evening. Bruschetta ordered was completely soggy and inedible. Wish I could give half a star.
Beach view mexicano restraunt. Food was okish
Upscale restaurant in Besant Nagar must have pizza , down was lamb Lasagna spoiler alert if fan of lasagna not to order here for sure
Good to dine out. Had my favourite Jamesbond007 pizza. Would like to visit again.
Portion is less as compared to the price otherwise the quality, taste, ambience, location & service are amazing.
Nice setup. Located at a prmi location. The ambience is really good, the rooftop dining gives opputunity to overlook Bay of Bengal while you are waiting for you food to arrive and while you are having them. The quality and quantity of the food servef with respect to the prices to be paid are fair enough.
Good for roof top candle light dinner bear beach
Run down place..might have been good some time back...more of Italian dishes on menu then mexican
Romantic and pretty as always. They can up the quality of food though.
