Southern avenue, rains, faint shouting of the pandal workers planning and scolding each other while planning their picture perfect abode for 'dugga ma' and Hola's newly launched pujo menu - a delightful afternoon to any Bengali foodie!

Among other things, the newly designed blackberry mocktail blew our minds! A perfect blend of the tanginess of our favorite 'jal-jeera' and the richness of blackberries, topped with grapes, this one's a game changer! To compliment this perfectly will be Cheese Chicken Fingers and Prawn Katsu Ebi Furai (simply put, a delicate version of panko fried prawns), both of them served hot, crispy and perfectly spiced with the oh-so-good dips.

Well, you can go with Noorani Chicken Kebab or Honey Mustard Pork (the pork was fab!), both of them equally great dishes!

Oh, vegetarian? Kung Pao Cauliflower will blow your minds! And hey there, to all lovers of meat, this definitely worth a try, a hidden gem of a veg starter! What I particularly liked was their impeccable attention to detail, not one of the stems of the flowers had been coated, which means every flower had been individually coated so as to add that extra crunch, yet keeping it soft and earthly.

Next up, we were served Banana Fantasy, a shake, more than a mocktail of banana (obviously!) served with strawberry syrup! Refreshing, though slightly on the heavier side.

Coming to the main course, Pineapple Chicken with Fried Rice is one of the new experiments these people have done, a tad bit sweet on my end, but could be balanced perfectly with a hot sauce dip. Nevertheless, it was a worth done experimentation, you get to eat something new. :)

But, the vegetarian dishes is what might attract you most. Ajwaini Bhey Masala (lotus stem in ajwain, a spice refreshing enough to reiterate your vegetarian palatte which has been used to ghee/garam masala flavours), Gobi Musallam (what chunky sizes of cauliflower, and so well cooked, not flower overcooked or undercooked), Daal Makhani (an absolute favorite, anyday)and Khumari roti (impressive yet again, as the intense ghee and butter had not been added, so it was extremely light) are only few of the items which they are showcasing as a part of their festive menu.

As an ending note to this wholesome lunch, yet light on your stomach, was the delicious all time favorite tutti frutti ice cream, served enough to satisfy two.

This place is sure to give you an amazing experience. Do drop by during one of these days and have a wholesome,...

Well Bengali's will never shy away from celebrating Durga Puja even if we are in the middle of a pandemic. This year, I am definitely going out to enjoy with my family and friends even if not for pandel hopping but definitely for food hopping. 😜😚

Since childhood, visiting the pandals in the surrounding areas of "𝔹𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪𝕘𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕖-𝔾𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕙𝕒𝕥- ℝ𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕓𝕚𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕚" was a quintessential part of Durga Puja plans as those areas were very near to my school. On our way back, we used to visit any familiar restaurant and indulged in Pet puja.

Now that school days are over, pandel hopping have been restricted over the last two years, it's still a ritual for us to meet and greet our school friends and re-visit those long lost memories over any restaurant. Suddenly it came to our mind , why not "𝙃𝙊𝙇𝘼 ??? They have curated their "ℙ𝕦𝕛𝕒 𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕄𝕖𝕟𝕦" and we all were interested to have a look and feel of it .

Before going into the details and menu , let me first mention you the address. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hola Kolkata is situated in Southern Avenue. The entire address reads,

" 40𝓪, 𝓓𝓻.𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓽 𝓑𝓪𝓷𝓮𝓻𝓳𝓮𝓮 𝓡𝓭, 𝓵𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓣𝓮𝓻𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓮, 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂𝓰𝓾𝓷𝓰𝓮, 𝓚𝓸𝓵𝓴𝓪𝓽𝓪, 𝓦𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓑𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓪𝓵 -700029"

Well speaking about the interior, it's hugely spacious and has got variety of section to enjoy over food and drinks. Not that IPL is back if one is visiting during the regular match hours, there are separate sections alloted where one can truly enjoy the match in the comfort of the couches. A small "ℙℝ𝕀𝕍𝔸𝕋𝔼 𝔻𝕀ℕ𝕀ℕ𝔾 𝔸ℝ𝔼𝔸 " is also adjoined once you take the entry.

We got ourselves comfortable and busy around the main entrance over clicking food and learning about the new dishes that they have launched. Artificial lights have been beautifully designed along with the huge glass pane overviewing the greenery outside.

Following are the drinks that we tried : 🍑 Peach Elderflower iced tea 🍹 Yuzu Spritzer 🍿Popcorn Shake

How can food be far behind ???? There were a lot of options we tried and tasted that includes : -

❤️ Fish Kalmi kebab ❤️Nachos Bhel ❤️ Chicken Ala Kiev ❤️ Zed Noodles ❤️ Paneer 65 ❤️ Fish Kalmi kebab ❤️ Tao's Chicken ❤️ Roasted Garlic Pork Ribs ❤️ Melting Mushroom
