Hola Indian Restaurant Uvita

Hola Indian Restaurant is exceptional! We ordered the chai, yogi samosas, chicken tikka masala, saag murgh, and garlic naan. The samosas were served with a tray of sauces that were so bright and flavorful! The samosas are a large size and were out quickly making them the perfect appetizer. The chai was flavorful and perfectly balanced. We watched as the sauce for the saag murgh was blended fresh, and you can absolutely taste the freshness in each bite. The tikka masala had lovely bits of fresh peppers and onions, which added a lovely texture and flavor to the dish. I can confidently state that this is the best Indian food I’ve ever had!! Nothing was too spicy, but everything was so flavorful!! It was so comforting after a tiring day. Also, the service was wonderful. We were kindly greeted and shown so much generosity and felt so welcome. I’m so impressed with the food and the service! I strongly recommend Hola!! They offer take out, as well!

We lucked out and had the restaurant to ourselves. Everything was SO good. The curry (lamb Rogan Josh) brought us back to life. I wasn’t expecting such good Indian food in Costa Rica but I’m here for it!!! The naan was also fresh and wonderful. We got the avocado chaat puri salad and enjoyed it — super fresh. 10/10. I’m sad we only found this place on our last night in Uvita!

This was one of our best meals in Costa Rica (having been here for 5 days already). The chef (Rohit) was so incredibly kind and fast at preparing our meals. Right after ordering, I saw him chopping tomatoes and onions, about 15 min later we have steaming, freshly prepared chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, rice, garlic naan, and house salad on our table ready to eat. I was astounded as to how quickly he prepared the freshly made, delicious meal. Turns out he has been a chef for about a decade! House salad was deliciously crisp with fresh flavors, nicely balanced with the fattiness of the avocado. Both the Chicken curry and the chicken tikka masala were juicy and flavorful. Spicy sauce on the side added some good heat. Rice was cooked well. Garlic Naan was fresh and had a nice crisp with lovely fragrant garlic. Finally the dessert bread was soft with a touch of sweetness and tangy-ness from the strawberry and passion fruit preserves. Best way to describe it for me was a milk bread with sweet, fruity, nutty toppings. Delicious!!!
