Two things we love for local eats - vegetarian and desi. And the wife cannot stand cilantro. So when the super friendly staff said the entire menu can be made without cilantro she thought she just found desi restaurant heaven. We had no idea they had dining but were geared to take it to go. Will definitely head back for a dine in because the place is very comfy, swanky, vibe. Neat, clean and can be a great spot for a few friends to get together or have a nice table for 2. Ordered up a bhaji pau, palak paneer, pondicherry dosa, and a couple naans. We ate for 2 meals worth of- and it was perfect. Nothing salty, big issue sometimes with desi grub. And even as "hot" feel like it was perfect amount of heat. Just counting down the days till our next visit.

I called at 1:44pm to order for 2 aloo parathas for pick up. It took them 25 mins to make it ready. No one knows what’s going on. One person says 5 minutes another one 2 minutes, it’s insane. I’m not sure if they don’t have enough chefs but since the new management has taken over this place is not what it used to be. I have been going there for ages, it’s one of my favorite place but now I’m not sure anymore. Every time the food tastes different. One time my aloo paratha looks like real paratha another time like today it looks like stuffed naan. It’s so weird. Like seriously get your act together and be like before!!! I won’t be going there anytime soon. I’m really disappointed. Waited 25+ minutes after calling for 2 parathas and getting stuffed naan is simply disgusting!

With so many options available in the area, I feel there’s really no reason to come here. It felt like a comedy of errors unfolding in real-time. While systems are designed to avoid single points of failure, this place seems to have multiple points of failure—and we witnessed them in execution. Some orders made it through, while others were inexplicably dropped from the system even after being repeated several times. When we asked about the difference between the regular pau bhaji and the Honest special pau bhaji, the waiter replied, “There must be something different between the two, only the chef knows.” As it turns out, the difference was cashews and raisins in the bhaji—an unnecessary and gimmicky addition. Both versions of the bhaji were unimpressive. The fried rice was stale and overly spicy, even after specifically requesting they be made non-spicy for the kids. The dahi vada was dry inside, and some of our “cocktails” never even arrived. The abysmal parking situation does not help—though that is of no fault from this establishment. The good among the chaos - the Hakka noodles and sizzling paneer were flavorful. Wish all the dishes were at this grade. My honest opinion of HonesT - avoid.
