Food: This place is such an underrated gem! Please try their sandwiches, such as their Bahubali Sandwich, as they are unique with various layers and chutneys! They also come with great fries! We also liked their Dabang Dosa with many fresh vegetables inside and three chutneys on the side, and their Bhaji Pav. However, you really can't go wrong with any of their chaat items! Service: There is usually one employee handling the front desk and taking your order, and they are polite and will refill your water. Ambiance: This place is spacious with many tables. There is usually a lot of space to sit, so your wait will be super short! Please visit this place and try their innovative items! The sandwiches are as good as you get in India, with green chutney and mashed potato inside! Nearby, if you need a sweet treat after, we liked Cake Korner! read more

Fantastic quality and taste of everything (street food and sandwiches) we've ordered so far. Good service as well

Very comfy place to enjoy vegetarian Indian cuisine! We enjoyed the two curries we had (Palak Paneer and Khaj Curry) so much that we even ordered some Garlic Naan afterwards to try and finish it up (it was nice of the staff to add on to our order even when it was close to closing time). We also liked how the Samosa Chaat because it was somehow simultaneously refreshing and spicy at the same time! Great spot - I'm so curious about their other dishes too. read more

Honest waste of time. Went in to order take out. One of the staff asked me to put my order through their kiosk. Did that and waited and waited and waited. For longer than 30 minutes. We checked in with the staff several times and even requested water. They kept assuring us they would. They would disappear in the kitchen come back, no food, no water, no status on the order. Finally i was pretty worked up asked another staff member to check. This person came back and said that somehow the order had reached the front desk in the computer but not their kitchen. No apologies offered just stated the fact that they would cancel the order they never received. I promised them I would never be going back to the place. Why bother going to a restaurant which cannot even offer water to paying customers. Stay away. read more

Had Honest catering for a birthday party. Horrible experience, will never hire again. We had 6 entrees, they ran out of 2 of them before everyone ate and blamed us for eating too much food instead of admitting they brought insufficient quantity. The owner and his wife are arrogant and have horrible customer service skills. We spent 30 min talking on the phone with them to figure out a solution, they refused to apologize or offer any resolution, and even commented they regret accepting our catering event in the first place. Save the headache, go with anybody else instead of Honest read more

This location can be a hit or miss. Honest is known for their pav bhaji and this time it was terrible. Tasted nothing like the authentic honest. Dabeli was very good. I also tried their kaju butter masala and cheese kofta.. they were very oily but taste was decent. They need to do a better job with cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

This is an incredible restaurant. We got here at 9:15 PM. However, they seated us despite the closing time being 9:30 PM. We are from India so we like authentic Indian food and enjoy the vibes as well as experience along with the music that's been played, and it is surprising to see such hygienic food, and super tasty Indian food being prepared by other Indian in Los Angeles. We really enjoy that experience and we highly recommend this restaurant. We do not know why it has three stars. My family and I have been coming here for 10 years and have been enjoying it thoroughly and think it should be having five stars on Yelp. read more

On my list to avoid. Mediocre, overpriced food with mandated tipping for not so great service. Coasting on the Laurels of its restaurant in India and elsewhere. The Food Business is tough. Indian customers are very value oriented. This restaurant doesn't cut it for my value proposition. read more

This is a review for take out only. Went to pick up a grilled vegetable sandwich with cheese for a quick bite right as they were opening the restaurant. Place looked clean, and the service was quick. The sandwich was pretty good. Simple ingredients made into a modest sandwich. I liked it. read more

Honest - Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with cheese - Indian Near Me - Artesia, California

This place has been very hit or miss for me, but unfortunately more miss. The quality and quantity have dropped a lot over time. I've tried this place multiple times, hoping it would improve, but the last few visits were a disappointment. I ordered items like pav bhaji, pani puri, the Bahubali sandwich, pizza, and more, and the taste was never good. It also left my stomach feeling upset afterward. Based on my recent experiences, I wouldn't return. read more

Hadn't gone to this place in a year since we had a bad experience last time. Food wasn't great. But this time they really stepped it up. Each dish was flavorful. Cheese pau bhaji, kaju curry, mysore masala dosa, Chinese bhel was the best ! I was just curious as to service charge is already on the bill if they make us order through qr code ... there is no service to be charging that but anyway. read more

The food was good here but service was lacking. There was only one other party in the restaurant when we came in for lunch on a Saturday, but it still took a long time to bring our food and i had to remind our server that I had ordered a mango lassi. The lassis are prefilled in takeout cups and placed in the refrigerator case at the front so there is no reason it should have taken so long other than that she forgot to bring it. We also ordered manchow soup, which was great. The Honest sp. Grilled sandwich was delightful. It is a layered sandwich with just the right amount of flavor and Amul cheese. The paneer pakoras were also good as was the plain dosa, served with an assortment of chutneys and sambhar. We may come back since the food was decent but we were appalled at the incredibly slow service especially since they were not busy. I definitely would not come here on a day they are busy or if I were in a rush. read more

Had a lovely afternoon lunch with two friends on a Saturday. We had the sandwiches, panipuri, and pizza. Everything we had was delicious and full of flavor. I was completely satisfied with the entire meal. The sandwich was filling. I would 100% recommend this place for vegetarian eaters. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The restaurant itself is located in the corner. Parking can be challenging, but it is worth it if you get a spot. read more

A excellent vegetarian joint for Jain food options. It has been a mixed experience sometimes too good and other times pretty okay. Service is non existent as usual in Indian establishments. Restrooms are horrible not sure what kind of sanitation standard to expect after experiencing to have to use it. read more

I just wanted to say a HUGE SHOUT OUT/THANK YOU to jashan. I dropped water by accident and it went all over the table and on the food. She came right away and cleaned the table and the floor and also she got us another food. She definitely has a great customer service read more

Used to be a good place. Now they give 5 Manchurian balls for $23. Quantity lowering alongside quality doesn't make it better.

Poor quality food and unfriendly service at this Honest location. We arrived in early evening on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, we asked for a booth but were told no. Then it took quite some time for food and drinks to be served despite it not being busy. Dosa was wilted and cold, pav baji had no flavor, chaat was ok and paneer had a very odd taste. I do not recommend this place, there are much better other food options in Artesia. read more

We loved the rava onion chili dosa and spring dosa. They were crispy and delicious. The chutneys and potato masala were yummy. We came at 3pm when most restaurants were closed on Monday . I am not sure why the reviews are low. The wait staff was nice. But of course it was slow at this time so we got more attention and fast service. We will definitely come back. read more

When we talk about lack of professionalism this place is a perfect example!! Upon walking in we were seated immediately but it took them 15 mins to take our order despite the place being empty. We waited patiently but 2 of the hosts were too busy playing highschool flirting game and finally I had to call one of them over to take the order. To be frank I lost my appetite due to their hospitality but we ordered 2 plates of chole bhature. The food was mediocre nothing compared to the honest restaurant here in NYC I guess the quality varies per location. Not very thrilled with this place at all and do not recommend it. Giving it 2 stars simply because the gentleman who gave us the check was polite and apologetic. read more

I always find there food amazing. They have good variety and their quality remains consistently good. Servers are very helpful as well.

It's okay. Food isn't bad but is amazing. Honest is known for its pav bhaji but honestly you can find better that's not just a butter bath. The are does seem kind of grimey. The bathroom is a disaster. Water tastes funny. And cold drinks tend to be served at room temperature. read more

Honest has been our go to place for Indian food any where we go. Specially when we are in LA we visit this place for sure as we use to love the food. We regularly order Bhakri Pizza and buy Bhakri Pizza base as well from Honest and this time we were just given a really small pizza on Roti with very minimum amount of veggies. Being a regular visitor this is really disappointing. We also ordered cheese sev puri which was did not have enough cheese just few strands. read more

Honest is really famous in Ahmedabad, Gujarat where it originated. Each Honest is a franchise so chances that they will be consistent is very rare. We had these at Artesia Honest and I truly recommend it: 1. Dabang Dosa 2. Veg Kolhapuri and Chapati 3. Saffron Lassi Not recommended surprisingly when we went: 1. Pav Bhaji ( Really shocking it was very sour and cold) 2. Lime Soda with Masala (Its ok) 3. Vada Pav ( Vada is very very small no clue why) read more

It's interesting how polarizing the reviews are for this place. Not a lot of ratings in-between the extremes and it seems that my review will be one of those rare ones. Our experience was fairly positive. There was a bit of a crowd near the doors as we approached the restaurant. The hostess had us wait a few minutes after we asked to dine in for lunch. Our waiter wasn't the friendliest but not off-putting either. Just straight up doing his job which was fine by me. And he could confirm which menu items were vegan when I asked. The menu has an Indo Chinese section which is pretty cool. We ordered the Vegetable Chili Garlic Noodleswhich smelled soooooo good when they brought it to our table. Very flavorful too! https://bit.ly/3v6vp9y The Spring Dosa was tasty as well which came with delicious sambhar, tomato chutney, and coconut chutney. https://bit.ly/3on4Hp4 We also enjoyed the Vegetable Pakora. Though I haven't had a pakora that I didn't like. https://bit.ly/3ROBvoJ When it got close to the end of our meal, an older man came to check in on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. He was much friendlier than the waiter that we had so it was nice to end our experience on a nicer note. Would I eat here again? Probably. Admittedly, I'm not rushing to go back since I could likely find an equally good dosa and pakora at places closer to me. However, those noodles were pretty memorable which is what bumped up what would've been a 3-star review to 4-stars for me. read more

After driving by so many times we finally got to come check this place out. We got excited and ordered a lot of food for 2, but we liked everything we got. We tried the dahi Puri, baahubali sandwich, masala fries and paneer 65. We loved everything but the baahubali sandwich was my favorite. We probably could have just done the dahi Puri and sandwich for 2. The portions are big so the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Honest franchise should take the name away, horrible service. Full of attitude of working just order from barcode. After that no service but they will charge 18% for tip. Food taste is not the same at all, food portions are going small and very small. Price are increasing. Disappointing is small word for this place and specially from Anand this is very disappointing to see my favorite restaurant going this bad. read more

A friend took us here for dinner and ordered for us. They have authentic vegetarian Indian food. Our friend ordered samosas, vegetable cheese sandwich, Indian pizza, Manchurian balls and Bhaji Pav. I think my favorite dish was the Bhaji Pav because I just loved the warm butter bread dipped into the vegetable curry. My boyfriend also got a mango lassi to drink that was thick, yet refreshing. I really helped calm the spices from dishes like the Manchurian balls. I also liked the cheese sandwich, there was a lot of cheese but it was light and tasty. The Indian pizza was also a very interesting dish and was unlike anything I've had before. We had a great dinner here and the service was great. read more

I have tried most of the Indian restaurants in LA area and this by far is the worst I have ever been to! Like I can't explain how bad the food was. They butcher Indian food like anything even after pricing is crazy high. We ordered paneer 65 , speical pav bhaji, cheese pulav . Paneer 65 was more like fried paneer on a bed of chill oil, sour cubes of paneer , overflowing oil. Nothing close to authentic of indo chinese. Pav bhaji is a joke here , bhaji was screaming diarrhea. It was so watery and unauthetic , the only special was the worn out cashews on top which I dont know how it is an add on. Chese pulav had a smell, it tasted stale , was served cold and had no taste Whatsoever. I wish they would stop fooling people . I dont know why places like this even exist. If you are taking the money, make good food. Cant understand the disconnect. Never coming back and dont recommend at all. read more

I tried this place based off of a friends recommendation. She's been here a handful of times so she knew what to order. We came right before closing on a week day and we were seated right away. All of the items were super flavorful. The four layered sandwich was huge, as expected, but a little too much bread for me. The Indian style pizza was very unique. I would definitely come back to try different items. Especially samosas! read more

I usually don't write reviews but felt that I needed to warn people about this place. Went there for lunch with the family. Wanted to try a new place. This was NOT IT! It was a warm day, they served us drinks (colas, lassi, jhas, etc.) at room temperature and warm tap water. The food was disgusting. Half our party didn't get their food till the end when the other half was already done eating. Nobody enjoyed their meal & left most of it there. On top of the waiters didn't even check in on us.. But they add their tip on the bill whether they serve you or not. So if you are craving Indian food go to any other place but here. read more

Very bad experience! Went to the restaurant today and ordered food to go. Ordered Idli Sambhar and two orders of Potato Vada. Requested extra sambhar as well. The hostess confirmed the extra sambhar I ordered. The order did not come for forty minutes. After I inquired, the waiter brought the food. However, the extra sambhar I ordered was not included. I was told I need to pay for the extra sambhar! I was disappointed with the service. Since the quantity of the sambhar was not enough, I paid the extra charge and bright the food home. This was the worst food we ever had. The Potato Vada were not fresh, they were refried. The chutneys came with the order were not enough for one order let alone the two orders. For Idli Sambhar, In place of the coconut chutney, we received sweet yoghurt! The Sambhar was tasteless not resembling an authentic South Indian sambhar at all. We threw away the Sambhar. We are definitely never going back there. I couldn't give a rating lower than one star since it is not available. Jay Sheth read more

Mind blowing food!!! This is the second time we visited Honest after our long day at Disney. Exhausted and tired, OMG, their food brought back the life in all of us. Trust me, I am saying the food tasted like heaven not just because we were tired. The food was literally the best Indian food you can find in LA. The spices and the amount of flavors was perfection to the dot. We ordered below food items, each one of them were finger licking delicious. Cheese Pav Bhaji: that cheesy bowl of bhaji, is outstanding! That's our absolute favorite from day one. Cauliflower Manchurian- the wok on that dry cauliflower fried with masalas was yum (kisses to the dish). Sev puri- it was crispy and decent plate of sev puri. Raj kachori - It was good. Loved the freshly fried, crispy balls filled with chickpeas and veggies. Triple Schezwan Rice - Loved the spice and hot rice with noddles, with the hot sauce to garnish. Must try! If you haven't visited this place, you are missing out. Price wise it would be medium read more

It used to be good but the quality has definitely gone down. We ordered a couple of chaat times that were okay, but the paneer 65 is definitely not what we expected. It's not coated in batter and fried with the right spices. It was an oily indochinese mess that did not taste good. read more
