    Samosas and Pakora- very good
    Najwa G.

    I am not sure why Honest doesn't have great reviews as I've always enjoyed it whenever I'm there. I usually order takeout but I opted to dine-in and am glad that I did- the service is great IMHO and the samosa chaat/puris with paneer makhani were awesome. I'm glad that I have this place in my neighborhood.

    Wrong order sent. Ordered 3 pav bhaji reveived 3 mix vegetables . How crazy is that... very dissatisfying and disappointing

    Came here with my bf and we ordered samosa and spring rolls I know very simple however not so simple he is vegan and has had many many samosas in his time and this was his first visit here not mine I've actually eaten here a few times I used to work next door. He got 2 samosas and he said they were the best samosas he ever had they were a great size fresh and filling! I got the spring rolls and they came with a spicy sauce on the side and originally I thought they were going to be pieces but it was two regular sized rolls and they were freshly made crispy and amazing in taste. We will be back soon!!!!!!!

    Papri Chaat

    One of the best Indian restaurants for vegetarians. They have wide variety of menu specially South Indian dishes. Service is fast and cordial. Taste and quality of the food is better than leading Indian restaurant. Both alcoholic and non- alcoholic drinks are available. Street parking is available if you're lucky enough. Recommended for everyone

    Rava Masala Dosa
    Chris P.

    I had a craving for Indian, but specifically, a dish similar to Saravana Bhavan so I was did a search on Grubhub for nearby spots in the area and I came across Honest. Based on the menu provided they had a pretty good variety. I decided to Rava Dosa Marsala. Ordering and delivery went smoothly and respectfully. When I opened the package, I loved that the condiments were packaged separately. Personally, the potatoes were awesome, but the rava dosa hit the spot. The rava dosa especially the not so soggy parts was doused in ghee and boy I do miss my ghee. The portion was deceptively large, I had leftovers, which tastes better the next day. I learned that this spot is walking distance, but it's two blocks down from Singas (see previous review) therefore, I can work an appetite to get additional dosas and come back and enjoy it.

    First time going to a vegetarian eatery. The noodles were very tasty and flavored. The sandwich was filling but needed a little kick to it.I will be back to try the other dishes. The pan puri was very nice. I found it to be very filling. The waiter was very polite and attentive.

    Bill for meal

    While we came to celebrate a special occasion, the experience left a bad taste. After paying for our meal for 4 people ($117 +$10 tip), we quickly realized that was almost double the price we normally pay there. Before we made it out the door, I realized that they had over charged us. They had snuck in a $24.99 charge for 1/2 gallon. When I questioned it and asked for a refund, the server questioned if we bought a 1/2 gallon of ice cream. I was beyond shocked. I mean we had literally just finished our meal that he serviced us for. While asking for a refund, I also realized that he never informed us that a gratuity was charged (almost $17) and we gave him additional $10. We have no problem tipping but that is very sneaky to take an additional $10 on top of the $17 already charged. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask them to print your bill before paying instead of them forcing to use their devices. We had originally walked away paying $127 after tip for a meal that should have been $67+tax/tip.

My husband and I started with samosas which were the best I've ever had! If you're a fan, please go and try this and let me know if I'm being hyperbolic, but they were insanely good! I had the Aloo Gobi Masala which was out of this world. The flavors were well balanced and tasty. My husband had the veg biryani. The portions were plenty and the ingredients super fresh!

I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

Five flavor plate - a nice amuse-bouche that went through a series of flavors: Hawthorne jelly for sour, yams for sweet - butter melon jelly for bitter, mushroom.and black pepper for spicy, and radish cracker for salty. The bitter melon was my favorite and definitely wasn't that better - it had pleasant spices almost like a chutney. Next was mushrooms in a light cucumber sauce, followed by a savory and thick 18 vegetable soup. This was a nice back to back contrast of light and simple with rich and hearty. The next three courses were aiming to imitate meat a little more. The first was a grilled mushroom over fragrant green millet. Then, sweet and sour tofu skin, and another grilled mushroom covered in a curry sauce. Of these, the tofu skin was my favorite as the bright course in between the savory ones. Next was rice in a savory broth with peach jelly, and then a nutty noodle dish with a smooth and creamy sauce with a nice blend of spices. These helped round out the meal, and the noodles were especially tasty. To end was a dessert made from berries and sweet potato, almost with the texture of ice cream. Reservation is required and the meal is prepaid except for tip. The whole thing came to about $130 each after tax and tip. I found the meal to be less heavy than most other tasting menus and very creative.

Rich matsutake mushrooms and sweet-and-sour riblets followed, paired with bowl-steamed rice and noodles, before finishing with a refreshing sweet potato dessert. Service is smooth. Our server, Hannah, paced the courses briskly and professionally, perfect since we had a show afterward. Still, block out at least an hour and a half to truly enjoy the thoughtfully curated meal. The space is fully wheelchair friendly with wide pathways. Because it is strictly reservation-only, plan ahead. It works beautifully for celebrations or a romantic evening.
