Really good place with a great view of Besant Nagar Elliot’s beach. Interiors give you a great new experience! The food was good (not the great I have tasted). Enjoyed the pasta and sizzlers! Keep a check on quantity, one dish can easily can fit 2 tummies. Smash potatoes are the best 😍

Review β„–3

Being from Latina America you don’t 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 didn’t 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€œ why the tortilla has this color” 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 doesn’t have it... πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ good they have parking space but even the parking guy wasn’t very helpful. Anyway maybe you should come with less expectation and if they reduce the price a little it will worth the try!

It was a ecstatic moment to cherish with beach water ripples to be heard.Breezes right away from the sea hit you making you feel more pleasant and realizing the beauty of the evening. Must visit place if you love to visit outdoors and have a cozy date either. ❀

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.

It’s 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

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.

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!

Review β„–33

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.

Review β„–37

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 couldn’t even take the trouble to prepare different items so they dumped the same dish on our heads, not even a slightly modified version.Their β€œI don’t care” 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.

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 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)

Review β„–45

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.

Review β„–47

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.

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.

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.

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..
