First things first, you can never just go to this place and fill yourself properly with just 1000 bucks (which zomato says is enough) for 2! You’ll require close to 800-1000 INR per person if you are actually hungry and not wanting to stick to one dish and pretend to be full till the brim after polishing the plate clean.
Hola is a very cozy Multicuisine Restaurant serving North Indian, Chinese, Oriental and Continental cuisines. The seating is inside a cubicle with a small tv attached to the wall. Therefore every cubicle has a tv of it’s own and the sofas are actually very comfortable.

Coming to what we had and how our tastebuds reacted to it.😊
1) Devils on horseback @Rs.445.00, (Taste Rate – 4/5) :
Devils on horseback is all about 6 pork sausages nestled in bacon and cheese, served with a chilli honey dip which was pretty hot due to the usage of pepper. The pork sausages were delicious! So amazing! And when combined with cheese and bacon, it was like an explosive bomb of flavour in your mouth. The quality was top notch and so was the whole experience with this dish. So loved it.
2) Porchini Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Oil (With added shrimps) @Rs.475+Rs.85 (for the shrimps) = Rs.560.00. [Taste Rate – 3.85/5] :Very few places can make a good bowl of risotto but this place has definitely mastered the art of making one. Risotto is nothing but italian khichdi with arborio rice, cheese, fresh cream and herbs. I am glad they actually used arborio/pearl rice for making the risotto because not many places do that. The risotto was creamy and rich with a great flavour of creamed mushroom. I am not very sure of the truffle oil though! The rice was amazingly cooked. Inspite of being creamy and smooth there was a bite to the rice which I really liked. The presence of the shrimps didn’t make much of an impact. The garlic bread was generously slathered with butter and was enjoyable. 😁 Overall, a pretty nice and comforting dish.
3) Crispy Jumbo Prawn Bao @ Rs.495.00 (Taste Rate – 3/5):The baos here are made of lotus stem flour and there actually appears a difference in taste in the bao than the usual bread flour baos i.e. the baos have an unusual but pleasant sweetish tinge to it. The panko fried jumbo prawn inside was absolutely awesome! So fresh! 5/5 for the quality and taste of the prawn. The bao was pretty soft too but somehow the combination of the bao and prawn with the various other sauces did not work for me. I felt that the mustard sauce was overpowering and the other two sauces, I couldn’t guess.
Quantity is pretty unfortunate for the price paid. Sigh!
4) Dry Roasted Chilli Pork @Rs.495 (Taste Rate – 3.5/5):Even though the quality of the pork was mind blowing, I was very disappointed with the quantity that came to our table. It wasn’t even sufficient for a single person, to be quite honest. I have had better grade pork at a price less than this. There were hardly 8-9 pieces of not exactly paper thin but almost slim pieces of lean pork meat tossed with crunchy green bell peppers, onions, spring onions and garlic in oyester sauce. I have no complaints in the department of taste, but I would have never paid 500 bucks for thr portion of pork meat that I received.
We ended up paying Rs.2100 (including 5% GST) with a half filled tummy and a very sad soul.
So, if you are in a mood to sit here and enjoy the ambience with just 2 dishes and have a lot of money to spend, I’d recommend you to visit this place. Otherwise, don’t waste your money on the food here.
That’s it folks!
Stay beautiful. 🙈💓
Happy eating.❤❤
