After receiving a new "Must Try Restaurants" in your area email from Yelp, I scrolled through some of the new selections. Honest Restaurant stood out among the list, and we gave it a try tonight. As my 4 star review literally says: "Yay! I'm a fan." Only living in Atlanta for the past year, we were unfamiliar with the surrounding shopping center called Patel Plaza. There are a lot of Indian stores, restaurants, and markets in this great shopping center, and Honest Restaurant is one of the newest fixtures. Honest Restaurant was full of people on a Sunday evening, and it is an order from the cashier kind of place. You can look at the menu on the wall or take a hardcopy laminated one to pick your choices. The whole restaurant is vegetarian, which is a plus for me. I could look at the menu and not wonder: Can I eat that? Does it have meat? I could try it all. Their menu includes a lot of delicious sounding choices. There were pizzas, sandwiches, a South Indian section, a selection of chaat (or appetizers), and other dishes. Now just to pick something... We ended up splitting two dishes. First was the masala dosa, which was a dosa (an enormous rice and lentil crepe) with masala on the side. The masala reminded me of almost a gumbo type of consistency (it even had okra), which was thinner than my experience with masala at other places. The flavor was good, but it was probably my least favorite part of this dish. The dosa itself was ahhmazing, and it had a dollop of potato, cashew, and pea inside to try. There were also awesome green chutney and raita sauces. Second, we tried the cheese masala pav with bhaji. I would describe this as a delicious bread bun cut into little slices smothered with masala (which was thicker than the other version) and then covered in cheese and cilantro. The cheese meets tomato meets bread in some bites was reminiscent of a deconstructed spicy pizza, and other bites were more distinctive masala tastes. Overall, we were impressed by the flavors here and will definitely be back to try something else. Go try it out for yourself! read more

I have been here several times since they have opened from then to now. I have tried multiple items on their menu and they have impressed me with their great food and service every single visit. All the items have been delicious and I have never been disappointed. The service is relatively fast, barring for a few menu items. The place is usually packed, but it is still easy to find a table. Definitely recommended and hands down for the most incredible customer service. The staff including the owners are super nice, friendly and helpful. If you are an Indian fast-food and chat lover, go for it. Prices are reasonable but not cheap compare to the other places in the area, but the taste and quantity of the food will overcome it. Regular spice levels are decently spicy. Don't ask for extra unless you can handle it. I will say that their vegetable samosas are spot on. Has the perfect amount of crisp, butter and not overly spiced potato filling. Their sauces are pretty good too. My real go to from this place is Masala Pav, very yummy, tasty and perfect spice the way I like it. The Pav or bread rolls are sliced and then stuffed with a spiced buttery onions, tomatoes and capsicum filling, then drizzled with some lemon juice and garnished with chopped coriander leaves. As this place is located in a shopping plaza there is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant which is shared by other businesses. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend the place for anybody to try at least once. Honest Indian Restaurant is well know for their famous and tasty Bhajji Pav and Masala Pav. They also sell South Indian dishes like Dosa, Rava Dosa, Uttapam and Idli. Sandwiches like Aloo Mutter, Vegetable, Cheese Chutney and Cheese Jam. Chaat items like Bhel, Samosa, Pani Puri, Sev Puri, Chatni Puri and Dahi Puri. This is a chain restaurant which has locations in Brampton, Canada and USA locations are Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. From their website: Since our humble beginnings as a family-run street-cart in 1975, our passion has been to offer fresh food by using quality ingredients. Originally based out of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, our strong customer base has allowed us to open in Thailand and now we bring Honest to the United States for the first time. All preparations are made from scratch daily and dishes are cooked to order. We use the freshest and highest quality ingredients. There are no frozen or processed products in our kitchens. To our fellow and honorary Indians, we hope you are reminded of home each time you eat at Honest. As for our first time visitors, we welcome you and promise to expand your palate with some of our favorite Indian street foods. read more

Came here today with my family and it took me right back to India! This Honest restaurant is actually better than the one I had in India. The food was delicious and not too spicy for my mild taste buds. If I lived here I would come here weekly! We got the papad chaat, a regular dosa, and pau baji and it was ALL amazing! The service is also excellent, with accommodating servers and the owner came to check if everything was okay. Definitely a place everyone should try! read more

Overrated for what it is. The Honest Special Pav Bhaji was A-OK. Its priced reasonably. Since we weren't fans, we didn't try anything else. The Pav Bhaji has a wait time of 20-25 minutes. read more

Awesome food, awesome service! Will keep coming back here again!!! Paper roast dosa is yummy and huge - two normal size people can eat one. Dabangg dosa is delish - a fusion of north and south Indian food! Bahubali sandwich probably came out of all the character diversity in the movie. Punjabi thali has so much food and so many choices with true Punjabi flavors!! My tummy is now hurting!!! read more

I had a take out order for pani puri, when I came home and opened the packet it smelt so bad. The potato and black chana that was given was smelling rotten. This is a very bad chat place I would say please do not go here as it is terrible. read more

what fantastic experience of flavors and mouthwatering snacks & lunches. every time we visit we've never been disappointed. Today we were greeted by Musa and gave us thee best service. you are a credit to this establishment. Thank you. please make time to visit this location you will love it. read more

Pros: pau bhaji was on point. A few variations offered...will come back for more. Lassi also delicious Everything else was ok. Sandwiches were disappointing...for all the chutneys they spread on there, still lacking in flavor. Punjabi thali was standard, probably better elsewhere. I'll still be back to try more of their street food and pau bhaji! read more

Would highly recommend their pav bhaji and dabang dosa. The quantity is too much for 1 person. Their vegetable grill sandwich is on go to list. read more

We ordered Pav Bhaji, Masala dosa, Samosa Chaat, Cheese Pav Bhaji and Special Vada pav, Mirchi bhajji and Chai! Everything was just amazing in taste and quantity was decent. Would be coming back if ever visit Atlanta. read more

This place is not clean, don't eat here. My partner and I were visiting the city and my sister suggested that they have the sandwich I like, and I was eagerly waiting to see the place and try it out. We drove few hours to get here to just return empty stomach to what we saw. The place was unhygienic, as soon as we entered and all my hope to have that sandwich I wanted to try went down the drain (not sure if they have one). The floor was dirty, and the restroom, don't even ask me how dirty it was, I should just say I felt like vomiting and I did it in a bag in my car read more

Authentic Indian street food. I typically come here multiple times a month (family loves it). The Pav Bhaji is a staple. One of my favorite items on the menu is the Indian Style Bhakri Pizza (won't disappoint). They keep a variety of Indian sodas as well, try the Thumb's Up or Limca. read more

The best Masala Dosa in this area. Highly recommend all their Dosas. Busy place so go early.

I was in the area doing groceries on a rainy day and decided it was the perfect day for pav bhaji, and since I heard that Honest is famous for their pav bhaji I decided to give it a try! And I was not disappointed, it very much hit the spot and was quite filling. The aesthetic and the service had me feeling right at home. Thank you, Honest, for some weekend happiness and for making me feel at home in a new city. I would be open to coming back and trying some of their other menu items. read more

From the perspective of a hungry guy during Ramadan. My wife and I used to inhabit this place when it was called Chatt Paati. We were so happy to see the same people working at this place. The line was out the door when we went. The wait was about 30 minutes and the owner knew I was fasting and he made it a point to get me my food ASAP. As far as taste two words Nom Nom. The food which is 100% vegetarian is very filling and tarts. The talk platter is a great item to share and also give yourself a variety of items. The dosa is huge and to my surprise not oily at all. The chola comes with two pieces of deep fried roti and the level of oil is also low. All in all this place is a great value . Items range from $6.99 to $9.99 and the portions are very big. The best part is that ownership is kind and sweet. Give this place a super thumbs up. FYI to all my Muslim peeps sit down at least 30 minutes early on the weekends if you intend to do ifthar here. read more

Honest - Just some of the amazing food. Whole spread was only $33.00 !!!! - Indian Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

love that's it's vegetarian, makes it very convenient for people with dietary restrictions. dosas and sandwiches are good.

For an Indian, who thrives on Pav Bhaji- Honest is an amazing chain of restaurants, bringing the taste of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujrat, India to the North American continent. Their speciality is the original pav bhaji, with additional twists of adding cheese to it or making it garlic and onion free. They customize the spiciness per your taste buds as well. Their garlic chutney is to die for, I make it a point to buy a few additional servings of it, to use it in my everyday cooking. They do serve a few other Indian delicacies as well, but I've always be biased to Pav Bhaji. For a Floridian, driving to Atlanta to get that, is a trek, but it's so worth it everytime I visit the city of Atlanta, Georgia! They branches in a few other states like New Jersey, Texas, etc and in Ontario, Toronto as well. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

On a nice Sunday afternoon, my friend and I had made plans to go to this shopping center and get some food. I didn't know exactly which place we'd go to but in the end, we ended up here. Although I'm a fan of Indian food, there's still a lot about the culture that I just don't know. So, my friend took the lead. For our meal, we got us pav bhaji and sev puri. I was very skeptical about this whole vegetarian thing. But man was it good. The flavors they put in their food here is really top notch. I wanted to order more of it. The place can get a bit packed at lunch time on a Sunday, but service is nice. A man, who seemed like the manager or owner walked around asking people how they were doing and if they needed anything. Great to see this proactive customer satisfaction. I apologize for the lack of detail in this review. I have to say I ate those two delicious things but had no idea what was in them :) Definitely looking forward to make my way there again! read more

It's...good but not great. The dosa is middling, as is the channa bhatura. The standout was the Thali which I would recommend to anyone who comes here. read more

I love food at honest their quality and quality is outstanding, taste is always consistent. I always prefer honest for dosa or bhaji pav Highly recommend read more

Honestly, this place is OK. The prices are a little steep for what you get. The wait can sometimes be a little long especially if you are doing take out. The place is clean inside, and there's always plenty of parking. We got the chaat and had them keep it all separated to mix at home - worked well and didn't lead to soggy food. The pav bhaji was good and 1-1.5 buns per person is sufficient. It was tasty but lacked complexity and depth. Guess I've been spoiled by mom's cooking! Personally, I like the place next door, but to each their own. Give it a shot if you haven't been... read more

Indian street food served in a casual indoor environment. Honest Restaurant is located in the Patel Brothers shopping plaza off Church Street in Decatur. When you're facing the Patel Brothers supermarket, the restaurant will be on your right. The plaza is always busy, but there should always be a good amount of parking there. Food is ordered at the counter and you will get a number so your food can be brought out to your table. The food is cooked to order so you may have to wait around 15 minutes. On the Menu: First off, I should mention that the food here is vegetarian. The main items served here are bhaji pav, pulav, sandwiches, Indian "pizza", and chaat (snacks). Bhaji pav is a vegetarian curry that is served with bread (pav). You can elect to order this dish with cheese on top. Pulav is an Indian rice dish with spices and vegetables. Dosas are essentially crepes, but much larger that are served with chutneys on the side. In the chaat section are puris, which are crispy wheat shells that are served with a mixture of potatoes, vegetables, chutneys, or yogurt. What I Tried: Bhaji Pav ($7.99) - This dish is essentially a diced vegetable curry served with a side of diced red onions, lime, and two warm buttery rolls. You're supposed to break off pieces of bread to scoop up the curry, but I ran out of bread and ended up eating the extra with a spoon. The cashier suggested that I order extra bread - looking back, I think that would have been a good idea. I ordered my dish spicy and found it had a very good level of heat. The curry was flavorful and went well with the soft, warm bread. My only criticism is that the curry may have been a little too rich for my liking, but it is street food and maybe this is how it's supposed to be. You can get reasonably full off of one menu item. Verdict: Vegetarian food that is a little heavy, but very flavorful. It's a decent place to stop by for Indian street food after you grab your groceries from Patel Brothers. read more

Honest - Bhaji pav - Indian Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Can I be honest? ( **Groans**...yes I know I know) Jokes aside, Honest Restaurant is honestly a fantastic indian restaurant, and some of the flavors I tried here were so delicious that I knew I was coming back before I even swallowed my first full bite! Honest, first off is a busy store, especially on the weekend when we went on a Sunday afternoon, although don't be fooled....it's the entire patel plaza (where Honest is located) that is slammed with traffic on the weekend...so much so that finding a spot to park in this strip mall area was really very difficult. We all ordered platters, but what I decided on was the Bhaji pav ($7.99), which comes with buttered crispy bread. I was asked if I wanted two slices of bread because they were popular. Trying to watch out for carbs, I declined, but after taking a bite, I should've got another! Bhaji pav is basically a thick vegetable curry that is served with the previously mentioned bread. Also served were diced onion, lime, and other spices. Frankly I didn't think it needed anything else because the flavor was great, and some of the best indian i've tried. Whoa was the Bhaji pav good, and i'll certainly get this again when I visit! I did try nibbles of this and that, and everything I tried was nicely flavored, so even if you don't get the Bhaji pav, you're in good hands here. As I mentioned the busy environment of Honest Restaurant is busy enough where there are signs asking you to not take a seat at any of the tables until you've ordered, just in case some people try to come and swoop in to take tables before placing an order. Anything else? I was explained the backstory of Honest, but admittedly I forgot. With that said, the food is the star of the show here with Honest Restaurant, and if you have any interest in indian cuisine, and are vegetarian friendly, you kinda owe it to yourself to come here. Very delicious! Definitely a fan! read more

With so many Indian choices around here its sometimes hard to choose! Since Id not yet ever been here, I decided to give it a try. You pay at the counter, take a number and bring the food to your table. The cashier was very patient as people ordered. They have no photos on the wall or anywhere else for that matter, but I wish they did. It makes it much easier for many to order with photos. As they delivered food to people Id hear people asking, whats that?? These are Indian people too! The way they fix up the orders its really hard to tell. I think they would sell more food if they showed off some of these dishes with photos. I had the masala dosa, and green chili pakora. The masala dosa was very good. Better than any Ive had in India, Dubai, or the US. The green chili pakora was good to. The place is kept clean, they have a free water and ice dispenser, and the help comes around and asks if all is ok. That is rare when you order at a counter. I read on their website this place started with a family food cart in Ahmedabad in 1975, and now is a US chain with 7 locations, only one in Georgia. read more

We went to this restaurant and ordered a chana puri plate at 1145 and they told us it would take thirty minutes to make an order for three people. Then My father in laws chana was extremely spicy to the point that it was inedible. The rest of ours was not. When we asked for a return, he refused to return it saying it was "all the same." Typical crap Indian customer service. Rude management and argumentative people. Don't go here if you want to be treated kath respect. read more

Everything I order when I go is always so delicious! Give their Thali's a try, you won't be disappointed or hungry lol

Came here with a group of 5 and got dinner and beverages for everyone for less than $50! The pav bhaji and all of their dosas are really good, but be prepared for LOTS of spice. My uncle can usually handle any spice level but even his eyes were watering. We all ordered some mango lassi to keep our mouths from burning. There are countless good Indian places in Atlanta but if you're in this area and want a good meal on the cheap, come check out Honest! read more

I ordered the Cheese Pav Bahji with bread as well as Masala Chai. I expected the Pav Bahji to include paneer and that the bread would be naan, roti, or papadum, or some other bread representative of the cuisine. I was surprised when the food arrived and some nondescript, apparently western style cheese, was grated on top of the Pav Bahji. The bread was two grilled hamburger buns. They were square like the kind served at Krystal's. The Pav Bahji was still very good. The cheese served to take the edge off the spice. The tea was tasty and was served with sugar packets so the customer can customize the sweetness. The tea was also very hot without being dangerously scalding which I deeply appreciate. Nothing ruins a meal like getting scalded by food or beverages served at unsafe temperatures. Overall, Honest is okay, but there are so many beautiful Indian, Bangladeshi, and Paki restaurants in this area that it might be a while before I rotate round to it again. read more

Overall this place is worth checking out if you're looking for Indian street food, but I have had better. We tried several of the items including the bhel puri, pani puri, one of the dosas, and a potato patty thing. I liked the bhel puri the best, but found the pani puri disappointing. The shells were served straight out of the fridge and there was hardly any filling. The service was good, and the price was fair. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood, but maybe not drive out of your way. read more

Great food! I highly recommend the Masala Cheese Pav Bhaji. Their food is always fresh and warm. I would have given a 5 star rating, but there was a language barrier, which caused to get the wrong food item. Once we got the right food it was great! It's always busy here so be sure to have one person order and the rest of your party scope out a place to sit. FYI: Parking is always difficult here during the weekends because the shopping complex is packed! read more

Honest - Masala Cheese Pav Bhaji Mixed - Indian Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Based on the reviews, I was looking forward to visit this place. The ambience of the place is good, and very close to a place in India. Service is a very strong factor and one of the strong aspects which would bring back customers. There was rava masala dosa and rava onion dosa on the menu however I wanted a combination of rava masala n onion dosa, staff at the ordering counter honored my request. Along with dosa I also ordered a pav bhaji. Indian food is known for its spices and flavors however I felt the food was a bit bland. Pav needed more roasting and bhaji some spices. That being said the combination of both still tasted good. Dosa was one thing which I did not like at all. Potato stuffing has no salt, just bland and dosa itself has too much oil. Dosa is considered to be healthy with hardly any oil however the one I got had loads of it. read more
