Reviews
Honest is our go-to spot for authentic Indian food. The dishes here taste just like Indian street food, which we love. Whether it's the fried rice, chaat, or naan, everything is delicious.On our latest visit, we ordered fried rice, paneer butter masala, garlic naan, a cheese sandwich, and pav bhaji. The pav bhaji, toasted in butter, was perfectly crispy and flavorful. They even serve paan, which is a great bonus for me. The only downside is that the restaurant is a bit pricey.
We love Honest, the food is fresh, delicious and made to order. Its clean, the staff is so friendly and food came amazingly quick, beautiful presentation. We go here each time we visit the area.
This place will satisfy all your street food cravings! From indo-Chinese to bhaji and sandwiches, they have to all! There is usually a wait time but it goes fast as their service is very fast. We got a bunch of different things including their famous sandwich, pav bhaji, noodles and a paratha. Needless to say we were not able to finish most of it and had to take a lot of the food home.
Delicous, friendly and clean spot. Food was very fresh and flavorful, and prices were fair. Will absolutely be back!
been here a few times now. it's a great restaurant. the flavors rock the taste palettes. i do find it on the saltier side. the dosas are the absolute best. probably the best i've had in the states. they're crispy yet soft. but you have to eat them quick otherwise it loses that tenacity. we've had the milkshakes and falooda, both are nice, not super sweet which is great.
