Honestly, not only was this the best meal of our vacation, but it was also the best Indian food we’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest woman who truly went above and beyond for us—you can tell she cares so much about this place. She even surprised us with a free mango dessert after our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming (even without the sweeping views some Quepos restaurants have), and the food absolutely speaks for itself. The butter chicken and chicken korma were hands down the best I’ve ever had, and my wife absolutely loved her paneer dish. Everything was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. An absolute must-visit in Quepos—fantastic food, wonderful people, and an unforgettable experience! The food was amazing I am usually picky with Indian food if I am not in the UK or India, but glad I went. Everything was made fresh and full of flavours . They even make their own yogurt for the mango lassi. The service was really good Dhanbeer super friendly and also gave a free mango kulfi which was really good My visit to Hola India Manuel Antonio was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The service was truly excellent—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. We felt appreciated as customers the moment we walked in. The food was superb. Everything we ordered was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and perfectly spiced. It's easily some of the best Indian cuisine I've had in a long time. The ambiance is great too; the restaurant has a very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere that made for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. To top it all off, they brought us ice cream on the house as a lovely, thoughtful gesture. It was a very nice detail that truly made us feel valued. Overall, we felt very welcome and well taken care of. If you are in the area and looking for a top-tier dining experience with amazing food and wonderful people, Hola India Manuel Antonio is a must-try!

You absolutely must try Hola Indian Restaurant in Manuel Antonio – it's a true hidden gem! Our dinner there was exceptional from start to finish. The hostess was an absolute treat, making us feel incredibly welcome right away. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. We especially enjoyed the rich Lamb Bhuna and the aromatic Chicken Chettinad. The Punjabi Chole and Palak Paneer were also perfectly prepared. And definitely don't miss the Chilli Mushroom appetizer—it's a fantastic way to start your meal. Hola Indian Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience, and we can't recommend it enough!

We stumbled upon Hola Indian Restaurant during our stay in Manuel Antonio and were so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which had just the right balance of flavor and spice and my wife had the Lamb Korma, which was tender and packed with creamy and sweet flavor. We did ask for the Korma to be made with coconut and Alex (our waiter) gladly noted it in the order. Both dishes were served with basmati rice and the best Garlic naan we’ve ever had!! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and Alex made us feel right at home. If you’re craving something different from the typical beach-town fare, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Costa Rica!
