    Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with cheese
    Shruti Y.

    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.

    Mysore Masala Dosa
    Nidhi P.

    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.

    Paneer pakora
    Kermeka D.

    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.

    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.

    Masala Pav Dry

    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.

    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.

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

    Service is bad. Need to push to get what you want. Food overall below par. Cake pastries are stale. Don't go for hype.

It is still a great value at 21.99 for Saturday lunch buffet. There is a good selection of Indian staples, chicken tikka masala, paneer sag, Muton stew. All very tasty though some of the chicken in the tikka masala and the pepper chicken were a little dry. They also had gulab jamun and other sweets. Being so busy, food is constantly replenish from the kitchen. It's one huge open room and quite hectic at lunch time. There were a lot of servers and they were good at clearing out plates, refilling water and overall vein attentive. The interiors are neither here nor there, not basic, but thankfully not garrish either. The sound level though, quite noisy. It you're craving Indian buffet in the Cerritos or Long Beach area this place is still with a visit.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years now. Service has been hit or miss. But…read morenothing I couldn't look past. Today was some of the worst service I had ever seen from the front desk team. The hostesses appeared to be discriminating against a woman because of her service animal. I'm not sure they understand how ILLEGAL what they did today was. We arrived for Mother's Day because my mom loves the all you can eat buffet there and it's one of her favorite restaurants. The hosts up front seemed a bit scattered and were quoting random times to people. We were told it would be about 15-20 minutes. I think we were seated after 30 minutes. They called us up and then told us wait the table isn't ready so asked us to wait another 5 minutes. The reason I took off 3 stars is because a very nice woman had been waiting with her friends and her service dog longer than us. She was extremely patient and kind. She waited outside with her dog and didn't complain once about the wait. I heard the hosts discussing her dog and they were like oh that's a BIG service dog. It was just a normal small sized black lab. And they never began preparing a table for her. The woman finally came in after about 30 minutes to say she had been waiting and was told they were just setting up a table. They kind of brushed her off and said we will get to you. It seems like they had no intention of ever seating her and her friends. They seated multiple large groups before her. We were table of two and we got sat so we thought she would be next and she wasn't. Eventually the poor woman left. They have a sign outside saying service dogs are allowed. This is not true. And you will be discriminated against and not be given a table. I'm not sure if the hosts know how illegal their behavior was. It was clear her dog was a real service animal and the hostesses did not care for her at all. I was a hostess at two restaurants when I was younger and I have never seen anyone treat a customer so poorly before. I truly hope they apologize to this woman. - As for inside the restaurant the servers and waitstaff were extremely friendly. It is a bit scattered and you don't know who your server is so it is hard to flag people down. But they still serve water, naan, and anything else you need promptly. The entire restaurant was packed. Every table was full and the staff always had the food trays full of items. The items also all tasted fresh. All besides the Hakka noodles. That one was a little soggy or over boiled for my taste. I am vegetarian so I got their spinach and mushroom pasta which was surprisingly good. Paneer tikka was also very good. They also had channa/chole. They have street food station where they made fresh pani puri which was great. I believe this station is switched out each buffet day. The last time I was here it was dev puri. And they had someone making paneer tacos. The man making the tacos was really friendly and seemed really happy to be helping everyone. They had samosas and puff pastries as appetizers. They have wide variety of sweets such as carrot halwa, gulab jamun, jalebi, sweets, Kheer, and mango fruit custard. There is a variety of meat dishes such as tandoor chicken, mutton, chili chicken, and chicken curries. I think the only issue with this place is how the hostesses treat customers. Especially new customers. This is their first impression of the restaurant.

The flavors were good with the smokiness of the eggplant and the warmth of the spices. - bajra roti (2/10): this was not very pleasant to eat. It was much thicker than i was expecting which made it hard to tear into small pieces and chew. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, though there are other nearby places that I have enjoyed more.
