Excellent service, fresh food. Ambience was acceptable because the music wasn’t too loud, so you’re able to talk. The kebab platter was excellent, there were a lot of options, and each piece was cooked thoroughly and delicious according to our spice tolerance. The bread basket was delicious, and the chicken korma and chicken tikka masala dishes are also recommended. The menu is very extensive, it even has some Asian options, and it caters to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. The owner is a very nice gentleman. Definitely recommend, it’s located quite centrally in manual, Antonio, and close to a lot of the resorts.
Very good food and great service by Dhanvir. Probably the best Indian food we’ve had outside of India, the US, and the UK. Made everything extra spicy like we liked and explained how they make everything fresh including the paneer, masalas, and kulfi. Highly recommend to Indians and non-Indians visiting Manuel Antonio We got the Chili Paneer, Chicken Vindaloo, Chicken Biryani, and Mango Kulfi. Everything was great but the mango kulfi was truly incredible. Perfect balance of creamy with the mango flavor, not icey at all like most of the other kulfi in the world when you take it out of the freezer. Maybe it’s the local fruit but there’s some magic in there!!
The Indian food here is awesome!! The secret, as we were told, is that everything is made from scratch—no ready-made stuff, including the masalas, dahi, and kulfi. We wanted something off the menu, and the chef made amazing grilled paneer, stuffed mashroom and wrapped seekh kebab, ....— all were absolutely delicious. Thanks, chefs!! A true Indian food experience. We were already full, but still wanted to try both the strawberry and mango kulfi. They kindly served us small portions of each, and they were so yummy—the perfect ending to a sumptuous meal.
We had a really good time at Hola Indian! Our favorite was the garlic naan, it was warm, freshly made, with melted butter on top, and it tasted really good. We also ordered the prawn coconut curry, perfectly spiced with well-cooked prawns. Our waiter Gib was very nice, his service was timely and polite and he made note of my tree nut allergy.
We ordered Honey chilli potato, paneer tikka masala, bullet naan and coconut rice and every dish tasted amazing. Don’t miss out their kulfi, it’s refreshing and yummy. We were greeted by Thanveer, he was very humble and great to talk to.
