Cute restaurant. Ample seating, which is important if you have a large party. And the space itself is spacious so you’re not bumping elbows with the party next to ya. They have a mixture of small and big tables. Big table a bunch of individuals sat and ate. Seems trendy, a lot of people coming in.

The layout is wide open with lots of natural light. The atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful and the positive energy rushes in as soon as you enter the cafe. The staff was passionate and friendly, and the food was absolutely superb. The line can get long sometimes but they get the orders out in a timely manner.

Nice eating area on the street side with large windows. Upbeat happy music, added to a nice ambience. Clean bathroom.

What a find!!! Hola deserves all five stars (and more)! Very creative menu of multi cuisine items, really difficult to choose from. All dishes very nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Quite different ingredients but blended harmoniously to generate a surprisingly delicious effect. Portion sizes are huge, so be prepared to take half of it home !

Thanks Chef @Supratim Das for the lovely spread of dishes. The ambience was very, very comfy. Made our morning and afternoon very very relaxing. Highly recommended!
