Kathiyawadi Thali- Served with 3 sabji's, Kadhi, Rajwadi Khichdi, rotla, Khaman Dhokla, Dhokla, Srikhand, khicha papad, chach, ghee and made with love by the owner herself! I started with the bajra roti... paired it with smoky baingan bharta... Swaad aa gaya ji! Dont miss the bold flavors of lasaniya batata... And that crunchy, spicy kaju gathiya is absolutely delicious! The kadhi with rajwadi khichdi is comfort food at its finest!

Came here by a recommendation and it did not disappoint! I was really excited to have the Dabang Dosa and it was my favorite - it's spicy, cheesy, soft with all the crunchy flavorful vegetables inside. As this is a fusion dish, it reminded me a bit of a rolled up but spicy/smoky pizza. I also enjoyed the tomato and coconut chutneys. My second favorite was the Bhaji Pav - you can't go wrong with buttery toasted bread and a warm, vegetable curry that was so perfectly seasoned. The Pani Puri was the perfect, much needed bite after a bit of the spice from the Dabang Dosa. It was refreshing, crunchy and airy - the tamarind sauce really topped it off a notch. The last thing we got was the Masala Dosa - this was my first time having dosa and it really is the all-rounder. I'd love to come again just for the Bhaji Pav and Dabang Dosa!! I also want to try their desserts and other drinks next time. read more

This is too Americanized for me. The taste is too subtle and weak. They need to hear up with more spices and heat. That's my personal preference about the taste. I had the dabang dosa. It was plentiful in portion - the filling was not even but if done properly it could be tastier. It came with samber which was too somber for me. Just add water type of taste - gits? $16 I also had pani puri - pani was weak and bland. But the crunchy gol guppe were good: filling was good. $11 The service was great!! Servers were friendly and quick Seating is clean and accommodating. So much free parking. Use the coupon when u check in read more

The food is good- some things I like better than others. Their chaat, for example, may be geared for a more regional appeal. For example, it lacks the spiced potatoes that are typical in chaat. Good selection of vegetarian street food and a regular go-to, just nothing ambitious though. Their pani puris are good. Their sandwiches are a decent size too. read more

What a fun spot! The decor is very bright and cheerful. Also, spotlessly clean. The worker was very friendly and helpful, as I needed some help with the menu. I had the Pani Puri, which were crispy puffs filled with potatoes and spices and served with several chutneys. Omg, I can't stop thinking about them. Such an amazing blend of flavors and textures! I also had a Rose Falooda. This creamy drink was a flavor sensation! There were even some nuts and fruits in there for some extra texture. The menu is long, so I can't wait to go back to try more. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. read more

The dabang dosa was great but never enough sambhar especially for the costs of this dosa. Also the papadi chaat was NOT good, pass on this folks! It just tastes like raw garlic- it was so overwhelming. read more

Good option if you are looking for Indian style snacks, sandwiches, and tiffin items, but I am not a big fan of their South Indian options. I was craving Rava Dosa and Vada and just didn't have the time or inclination to cook, so I ordered from here. Unfortunately, Rava Dosa was hard and difficult to eat, Vada was bland and soft, and sides were just OK. On the other hand, I had ordered Sandwiches and Chaat items from them before, and they were quite tasty. I would rate 5 Stars if the South Indian options tasted as good ‍ read more

Weirdly, I don't like the food at other Honest locations but love it here. Not sure if this one does things differently. We often end up here after doing shopping in the area. There's even an Indian market next door so it's convenient to grab a bite to eat here after dealing with all that. The inside is clean and bright (including the bathroom). Each table is set up with a water pitcher, utensils, etc. You just go to the counter to order and seat yourself. We typically order street food type stuff here. We've enjoyed the pav bhaji, pani puri, papdi chaat, bhel, and probably a couple other things. I've also gotten a masala dosa, which was done well. I think the only thing that's been a skip for me is the veg sandwich. Maybe next time I'll try the Honest special grill sandwich. Definitely recommend this spot - especially over other Honest locations! read more

This place brings shame to Indian cuisine. I have no clue how this business is staying afloat and it deserves to close and I am sure WHO will second this. I am going to report this place to the business bureau for their shady practices. It consistently delivers awful food, rips people off and then deletes the bad reviews (it deleted my last two reviews. I gave this place two shots and it was worse every time) I dare you to try the food there and be impressed. - First, the menu is one of the most unexciting menus I have seen at any Indian restaurant. Unoriginal, very limited variety, all junk food. This would still be acceptable if anything was done well. - The food served here has little nutritional value and poorly made with the cheapest ingredients. You can literally taste the bad oil used in your burp. That's your body telling you to not punish yourself. Just look at the photos of pizza and the chaat.. They taste worse than they look if that is possible. Chaat looks like regurgitated food and that monstrosity of pizza is a crime in Italy. Has anyone working in this joke of a restaurant ever had even an average pizza? read more

The food was absolutely incredible and the service was amazing. The person who took our order was so helpful with our questions and was so kind to us while we were there. We ordered a ton of food, great prices and great quality. Couldn't recommend this specific honest location more! 10/10!! read more

Updating my rating because the last few times I have ordered from here for delivery their pav bhajji has been pretty consistent. I tried Hakka noodles for the first time from this location and they were amazing. Definitely these would be my go to going forward along with dabaang dosa read more

This restaurant used to be good, their pulao is still good but pav bhaji standard has gone so low. They have raised prices for such mediocre food. It's $14 for pav bhaji and it was watery bhaji and not tasty. I'd not go here again. read more

Their food is great but they use old smelly expired nuts in their Falooda preparations. This can make customers sick . I have been sick from eating this . Please make sure you DONOT use or keep old expired food products . Not good for business!!!! read more

I was in the mood for Indian for a while and finally got a chance to swing by this spot today. I called in my order of the vegetable noodles and manchurian. I arrived about 15 mintes later. I parked in the plaza lot and walked in. I gave the lady my name and she said it will take 10 more minutes which I couldn't wait so I paid and told them I would be back. I arrived after a while. The food was ready and left. When I got in I ate and the meal wasn't bad. It was just very spicy and I wasn't feeling too many of the mixed vegetables they put in the noodles. There was plenty and I couldn't finish it all. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

I love Honest Indian food. I met a lovely woman named SK working there tonight but all the servers and chefs are so friendly. The food is South Indian vegetarian and absolutely delicious, the chutneys are so fresh. My favorite are the dosas but there is something there for everyone. You order at the counter and the food is served quickly and brought to the table. The restaurant is always clean, service is excellent, price is great and food is amazing. I eat here several times per week. read more

We visited Honest Clifton place during our grocery run, the place is new and super clean. We were welcomed by Akanksha who was friendly and her recommendations were bang on. Food was fresh, flavorful and delicious, reminded me of streets of Bombay! We ordered: 1. Dabang Dosa (hearty crepe) - 5/5 - it's tasty and very filling 2. Vada Pao (Indian vegetarian hamburger) - 6/5 the best I've had in a long time 3. Masala Chaas (spiced yogurt drink/buttermilk) - 5/5 flavorful and fresh Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick delicious bite in the area! read more

I come here for the masala chai as it's the closest in the area but I've always found the taste to not be authentic BUT, I still got it. I keep getting it and keep thinking it's not the best and just found out it's premixed / premade and dispensed from a machine! The audacity of this restaurant to not make chai from scratch. I mean it's not difficult and reeks of laziness and cutting corners. The place is not even busy. The food is okay and not fast for what seems to be a "fast food" / snack restaurant. Food is okay and not on the level as restaurants in other areas. It's close so I get my Indian "fix" sometimes. For real authentic Indian food, I go elsewhere. read more

Uncle Electrick G. here again to give his honest review of Honest, a vegetarian restaurant franchise originally started in India, way back in 1975; a couple of years before Billy Joel released his 52nd St. Album. Over the past couple of months, some of my family members have suggested that I try Honest. I told them, "I don't care what you say anymore, this is MY life. Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone!" The family then suggested a detox from Billy's 52nd St. Album. Feeling shameful, I looked into the mirror and said to myself, "You had to be a BIG SHOT, DIDN'T YOU??!?" It was then that I knew I didn't need to wait Until The Night to tell my family I was ready to go and that lunch was on me. Located in the tail end of a strip mall, the restaurant looked like it was Half A Mile Away. We walked in and I was surprised by the classy ambiance. The layout was tastefully done and had great lightning. Quickly scanning the menu, I noticed there was a good amount of dishes that are mostly found in the southern part of India. Funny, the restaurant was founded by a family from the western part of India. What difference does it make when the person preparing the food is probably familiar with Rosalinda's Eyes? Our lunch was delivered, with some delay, to our table and looked good. Utensils weren't provided, but the table did have little bins full of individually wrapped plastic forks and spoons. I could be wrong, but I don't remember them having plastic Stilleto's, which would have been handy to cut into some of the food served here. Overall, the food was okay. One of my family members remarked that the sambaar had an overwhelming garlic flavor; that's not how sambaar should taste. The Rava Masala Dosa had a nice crispy shell, but was a bit too salty. Thankfully, not as salty as the food found at Darden Restaurant's authentic Italian chain (see my other review). And similar to Zanzibar, they'll even open a tab at Honest in case you want to order more after you've finished your meal and still have hunger pangs. English speakers know that Honesty means truthfulness. A non native speaker would look at that word and angrily ask, "Why the hell is it spelled with an H?" Regardless, a better question to ask is would Billy Joel eat here? As Fletch would say, "No never. Never." P.S.: To the Zoomers and anybody else who thinks Drake is real music. I made several references in this review to Billy Joel's 52nd St. Album. I strongly recommend you give it a listen. Warning! The album contains things you might not be accustomed to: real musical instruments, comprehensible lyrics, and talent. read more

I'm not a fan but it's good to satisfy indian street food cravings. I find their indo chinese chole bhature and masala pav decent. The food is high on calories with cheese mayo and butter but dine for occasional indulgence. We order by phone and food is generally ready in 10 minutes so service is fast read more

Extremely slow preparation for a fast food kind of experience. Do not eat pizza here. It is like a biscuit burnt up and topped with so much cheese you can't see what you are eating. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. We really enjoyed the Dosas and Mango Lassi. The staff was very kind and helpful!

Friendly fast service, chill vibes in a clean dining area. Interesting "Indo-Chinese" half of menu has good "wok breath", and with the fried cauliflower and paneer slices, I didn't miss the meat. Samosa chat was bright with lots of fresh flavor, including fresh pomegranate seeds and julienne beets. I didn't get the usual mango lassi, but the kaju anjeer (cashew and fig shake) was creamy, sweet and refreshing - a great new experience. Ginger chai was piping hot and deliciously spicy. read more

It's frustrating how overpriced this company is already, but their food in Edison and jersey city usually justifies it. The price for food here is completely unjustified. Sure, the staff is nice - but they were missing multiple chaats, didn't have paneer 65, couldn't make a certain way of pav bhaaji and if I remember correctly, they had some issue with the pizza... lol we settled for the other type of paav bhaji and a pretty disgusting samosa chat. We only finished the food since we were there for roughly 2 hours and catching up. Naturally, we thought we could at least supplement the food with a classic Indian soft drink - thums up, limka or even Fanta... also didn't have it Frustratingly, we cut our losses and just asked for 2 cups for water. They said "no water, only water bottles ... At this point, we just laughed. Paid the ridiculous $40 for 2 entrees and 2 waters. Ate the equivalent quality of a run down Burger King for a well known establishment, and called it a day. The place was clean though, cashier seemed nice, and ample parking - but the sign didn't line up. There's maybe 20 Honest locations in the state of jersey - save yourself the time and discomfort and go to one anywhere else. read more

Updating my review. This location is hit or miss. Some times dish are just great tasting and presentation specially is great Some days it is just meh!! Difficult to crave Indian street food and do not know what to expect. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The food is truly authentic and delicious. And so affordable! We will be going back all the time!! Just a suggestion: Try the 'gobi manchurian (dry)'. They do a great job! read more

Very quick and friendly service. The restaurant was clean and employees were wearing masks.

Been here twice. The food is really good and the service is pleasant. The restaurant also smells nice when you walk in. It's a small but diverse menu so you should be able to find something. It's all vegetarian though so keep that in mind. Admittedly, their prices are a couple $ higher compared to JC .... but portion sizes are good for one person and most importantly, the restaurant is clean. I don't mind paying a little more for food that tastes good and is served properly/cleanly. If you are looking for the cheapest deal out there, this isn't it. But if you want good food at moderate prices, check them out. Takeout is available but some of the things like dosa will generally not travel well - don't blame them! Go in, sit down, and enjoy. read more

Finally! Finally an Indian place that I can reach while still being chained to my job! I definitely want to (read need to) try more stuff on the menu but was a little intimidated so I chumped out and picked a sandwich. An Aloo Mutter sandwich. I had a vague idea of what was in it but thankfully the gentleman taking my order was gracious enough to explain it to me. I did. Have to wait about half an hour for the food, which I understood being that they were so busy. Boy was it worth the wait. The bread was grilled perfectly to a crisp and the contents within were nice and hot, spicy and delicately soft. I also had the mango lassi which was standard. I'm slowly trying to phase out meat from my diet and this place is completely vegetarian so it'll be easy to come here and stay on course. Definitely check this place out! read more

Great food, great staff and great service. We tried a bunch of different plates and they each seemed to get better and better. The bread and butter of this place is the Pav Bhaji, pun intended. It was the right spice and buttery goodness. The Dabang dosa was probably my favorite dish. It is a dosa filled with potatoes spices and Amul cheese. It's paired with a nice sambar and coconut chutney. The Mexican bhel was a fried delight of sweet and spicy. It starts off sweet and ends with a nice kick. The triple schezuwan rice is a noodle and rice dish that is paired with a manchurian sauce. The plate tastes good alone but the sauce adds another level of flavor. The pizza is topped with cheesy goodness. Don't be alarmed that the cheese is not melted, it's an Indian speciality. The cheese jam sandwich was also tasty. It is made with a sweet chutney that has you awaiting your next bite. The service was fast despite being a weekend. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more
