I'll give you a honest opinion Don't expect much in terms of service. This is an Indian restaurant and you know the type of staff they employ - not ones who will be attentive. Ordered pav bhaji, pani puri and dahi puri. The hot dish came out in 5 mins. It's been 18 mins since ordering - I have yet to get my simple pani puri dish. When I asked one staff member he asked 5 other people in confusion about my order. I come to find out my food was never placed but they were happy to collect the money but not happy enough to go find out about my food I had a staff member come tell me - their cook had to go to school and didn't make our food. I'm sorry last time I checked restaurants have staff scheduled for those who are leaving. But I guess this was my problem because school was more important. Anyway as I write this - I am still waiting on my food. You bet I will be not be returning. What a disappointment !! read more

Sometimes we need to travel a bit to find good food and this place surely make the trip worth it! Being vegetarians who miss their street food from back home, we keep looking for places that serves good food and Honest(ly) doesn't disappoint! We ordered- They are famous for paav bhaji , so it has to be ordered-hence we went with Special pav bhaji- buttered paav tools served with bhaji that had generous sprinkling of cashew and a big dollop of butter! Choley bhatura- chickpeas curry served up with big size puri(fried bread)- not very spicy curry and hot hot puris.....perfect... bonus was the gulab jamoon and the pickles that was served with the main dish! Dabang dosa- a fusion dish that combines the crepe from the south india, veggie masala stuffed inside from north India and generous amount of grated cheese on top.... Woah.... Absolutely delicious!! And coming from the Southern india, most of the sambar( the dal and tamarind based gravy served as a dip for dosa) doesnt get above B+ in my ratings but this one is surely an exception that i actually packed the few teaspoons of leftover to take back home To wash it all down, i had ordered masala soda- soda that is mixed with spices... do give it a try!! Overall great food , service was fast and the staff were courteous... the total damage to the Wallet was around 45$.... Will i go again? Totally yes!! read more

A lady walked by my table and spilled an entire cup of lassi on me. I asked the gentleman behind the counter for a towel and he replied with "I'm sorry we don't have anything like that here. You can go to the bathroom and wash off and then use the hand blow dryer." At this point I am still dripping in lassi and the cheap napkins are not doing the job. Terrible service. read more

Food is always soooooo good. Have tried so many things from here and rarely disappointed. This place is always packed. Their pav bhaji, baahubali sandwich, Tawa pulao, bakri pizza, dabangg dosa, masala dosa, thali, etc. are all super delicious! Would totally recommend! read more

Soooo tasty We we go I always get the mild pav bajii and mango lassi. I am never disappointed. The food is always consistently good and fresh. Maybe one day I will try something else from them but the pav bajii is so good I don't even want to lol. Oh and the Mysore masala Dosa. read more

I have many great memories of the honest restaurant. I have visited many times in India (Ahmedabad). When I knew that we have the same honest restaurant here in Atlanta, I was very excited to go and order my all time favourite and one of their speciality dish "Pav Bhaji". I felt the pav bhaji was mediocre. I do feel that the food taste could be improved a bit to match the Indian street food taste. The restaurant was pretty well set up, service was very good and very friendly cooperative staff. However, the washrooms were not cleaned. I have herd their bhakti pizza is amazing so I am looking forward trying the same next time. So far Honest serves the best street food in Atlanta! read more

Solid food, and super authentic. I was very skeptical being from Mumbai and having grown up on street food. But this place hits home, and hits hard. Service was great too. Hope you enjoy it the way I did. read more

A good place to have authentic pav Bhaji. It's a bit crowded but the food is yummy and authentic. I highly recommend eating the Bhaji Pav which is actually their specialty. The chaats and South Indian is just ok. Overall a decent place to eat it too crowded read more

One of the best Indian food places in Atlanta. We were a party of 10 people and ordered almost everything in the menu from idlis, dosas, Vadas, Puris, Pav bhajis to Thalis. This is one of the best pav bhaji places in the US undoubtedly. read more

This used to be Chopatti and I liked its buffet. Now it is a franchise branch of Honest Restaurant under the same management. Some dishes have stayed the same but now they feature the Honest Restaurant bhaji pav dishes as well as some other new dishes. It opened up in mid 2017 and has developed a new set of followers who come for the signature Honest Restaurant dishes. I originally wanted to come here because one of my Facebook friends got a great looking big dosa from here, but once we got here I realized that we needed to order some fun dishes for Robert who loves bread, potato and cheese dishes. Here's what we got. Cheese masala pav mixed with bhaji. This dish is basically a variation of the bhaji pav dish (vegetable gravy curry) with chunks of bread mixed in and cheese on top. (The other bhaji pav dishes come with bread on the side.) Definitely for people who like bready kinds of dishes. Lots of flavor too. Robert loved it! We also had the tokri chaat which is a fried potato basket filled with spicy chat - very, very flavorful! I liked this one a lot. It's quite large for chaat. Also scores high on the crunch factor. R calls it an Indian chaat version of Irish nachos. Finally we had a rava masala dosa, which is a wheat version of dosa with the potato stuffing. Lovely!! The chai tea is strong, the way we like it. The sweet lassi was also very good - thick and full of yogurt cooling power. We will come back so I can try the big dosa. We are also curious about the pizza. The place was empty when we got there but once we sat down it quickly filled up. It's a good addition to Patel Plaza and worth checking out at least once. Eat well and live long. K read more

Went here after a really long time. Great food. What I was most impressed was the service - whether the owners or the staff - top notch !

First rule: BE PATIENT. STOP BEING DUMB LITTLE ENTITLED PIECES OF SHIT AND YELLING ABOUT NOT GETTING YOUR FOOD WITHIN 2 MINUTES. Now, to the actual review: the food is phenomenal. Pardon the hyperbole, but I had a religious experience eating the Bhakhri Pizza. The Pav Bhaji brought me back to the street foods of India and the Chilli Cheese Paratha was sublime. We also had the Chef's Special Dabangg Dosa which was straight out of a "fancy" South Indian dosa places in India. All in all, great quality food with a taste that is on par with actually eating in India. For anyone familiar with Indian street cuisine, you know that the former statement is the highest compliment for an Indian restaurant in the US. The owners are friendly and helpful as well! There might be a little bit of a wait due to so many people flooding in at peak hours, but the wait is more than worth it. read more

Worst tasting dosa and coconut chutney every. Never had sambhar without one veggie piece. Terrible! Do not recommend at all!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! I always get the thali - and extra dal! (Sometimes I get the idyll - which I love with the coconut chutney for breakfast!) I recommend this restaurant to everyone! Just absolutely delicious! read more

[place: 3.5/5] honest is a fast food style type of spot. can accommodate for large groups and fairly clean [menu options: 5/5] this place has your not-so-common indian type of food! it's great to see that there's a variety of indian food near atlanta [food: 4/5] depending on what you order, the food here can either be a hit or miss. i ordered the bhaji pav with roti instead of bread for myself, but i tried small bites of other things as well. the bhaji pav was very flavorful, which was great! the sandwiches here are okay. the pani puri was delicious - it's a great app to share! the saffron pistachio lassi was AMAZING - definitely recommend ordering that. the dirty chai tea was also good for an after meal drink. the presentation of the food was very nice considering it is a fast food style type of place [service: 3.5/5] the service here is not the best, but not the worst - they were super accommodating of our large group! [overall: 4/5] would recommend coming here if you're craving indian food but don't want to have the typical butter chicken and tikka masala. honest has good and interesting food you can't find at other indian restaurants! read more

Living in a other busy city I was used to eating South Indian food from several different restaurants. But this place really hits it well. First of the the cleanliness of this restaurant is amazing. Starting from the counters, kitchen, restrooms and even the staff dresses up wearing a suit. Second, their rules of not blocking a table before ordering which makes it very easy to find a seat after you order. Third, the quality of the food was fantastic, delicious, delectable, flavorful and scrumptious. Fourth, their prices are very reasonable and they fit anyone's pocket. Last but not the least the customer service was amazing!!!! The owners along with the staff go out of their way to make you feel like you are a guest and they respect your privacy and keep asking if you like the food and need anything else. I felt like I was attending a wedding and was treated with soo much importance. I would highly recommend each person to give Honest restaurant a try. read more

Current college student from India, came here for some "ghar ka khana" but didn't have a lot of expectations for an Indian restaurant in GA, based on past experiences. Highlight: Best food I have had in years - even considering the local Indian street food, just amazing. Worth every penny. Will definitely recommend it to anyone. Must haves: Pav Bhaji and Punjabi Thali! Words can't describe it, you must try it. read more

This is one restaurant that has consistently served fresh and flavor food every time I have visited. My only issue with this restaurant (and many other similar India restaurants) is the way their Kitchen is organized. It looks like the Kitchen is focused on a food item and not on an order. We were two of us and ordered one Veg Pulao and one Pav Bhaji. Both in my experience are quick to assemble. We were told when we ordered that our order will take 20 minutes and items will be served as they are prepared. Please understand that is not OK for the following reasons: 1. Some people will be waiting while others eat. This is a cafeteria model and not a restaurant model and does not give your customer a good dining experience. 2. Your tables will be occupied for a longer period than required when you space out delivery. Which is bad capacity utilization and not good for business. If two people took 30 minutes to complete a meal that consisted of 2 items that are quick to assemble, imagine what will happen to a larger group of say 4 or 10! I, however, must appreciate the service as in the cashier personally came and apologised for the delay and sounded sincere. read more

We tried this place out on a Saturday evening. There was a line at the door. There is no table service to order. The place was jam packed inside the restaurant. So much so it was difficult to walk around. It was quite noisy. Children were allowed to scream and jump up and down at their tables. This was more than one table of kids. My friends who we met there ordered dosa and they had to wait for over half an hour to get their order. Food was mediocre. I will not go back there. Also, as a final note the line to get get grew and grew. The place inside was chaos with so many people. I am sure if the fire department happened to come by they would have shut the place down for the overcrowding. read more

At first when I read vegetarian restaurant, I immediately thought I was going to dislike it. Not the biggest meat lover, but I am no vegetarian! This type of Indian cuisine is quite different from what I am used to experiencing. I am used to the naan, butter chicken, & chicken tikka masala. This is very different. & not in a bad way either. I came here with a group of 4 of us. We ended up trying their Chatni Puri, Dahi Puri, Bhaji Pav, & masala dosa. The masala was a huge crepe with soup. My absolutely favorite was the chatni puri. Freaking delicious. I could eat this all day. I will definitely be back when I get the chance. read more

To be honest, the food here was really good, but I feel as though the service could have been better. I ordered the Bhaji Pav with cheese and a mango lassi. It was quality Indian food, and I would go there again. read more

Had dabang dosa , Dosa was very good , filled with lot of cheese, but it's very expensive

It was great to have the pavbhai by honest in Atlanta. It truly did taste like the ahmedabad honest pav bhaji. It reminded me of home. Probably the best pav bhaji I've had outside of India! I ordered a couple of their sandwiches and Indo-Chinese items and they came out really good as well. The service was superb. The staff was friendly and quickly got the food on the table. The ambience was nice, the place was clean and I am definitely visiting this place the next time I have a hankering for a PavBhaji read more

During "Operation Evacuation", aka Hurricane Irma, we traveled to Atlanta. While searching for a vegetarian meal, we came across Honest Indian Restaurant in Decatur, GA. The staff was very friendly, explained the vegan options for our evacuation host/cousin and offered suggestions. We ordered Samosa Chaat and Dosas-- the size of a giants shoe. :) Everything was seasoned to perfection. I wish there was a Tampa location! Can't wait until return, it's worth the 6 hour drive. read more

All right, so before I dig into writing the review about this place, I would like to say that I have been to the Honest chain of restaurants (it's an Indian chain and they have opened a franchise in Atlanta) over a couple of dozen times. So this visit was more out of nostalgia then anything else. Also, I had been to Chopaati earlier and I had a great experience of that place. However, I was not that thrilled with my visit to Honest. We ordered Pau Bhaji and Bahubali sandwich (a jumbo sandwich with multiple chutneys and sauces). The Pau Bhaji was quite up to our satisfaction however, the sandwich was kind of mediocre. That being said, the service was prompt and the place is reasonable spacious and clean. I do feel, however, that the food taste could be improved a little bit. read more

We went there because of the reviews in yelp. Looks like the quality of the food seems to be going down big time. Though the place is busy, the taste of the food leaves a lot to be desired We ordered pani puri. The pani was really salty and no flavor. The much touted pav bhaji, the masalas were grossly undercooked. The only passable items were the samosas and the gulab jamuns. read more

It's always hard to impress in the restaurant business when your business is yet another restaurant in a saturated area, but this restaurant is very good. The food is fresh and delivered to your table quickly. My wife ordered the cheese pav bhaji which is served with vegetable curry and the amazing pav (bread). The bread is very buttery, warm, and soft. Very addictive. I ordered the honest punjabi thali which comes with 2 curries, 2 paratha dal, rice, mango lassi, sweet, papad, and pickle for 9.99. Everything was well seasoned and served with love. Excellent meal. We will be back. read more

This place was pretty lit when we went on a weekday for dinner. The service was good, and staff was friendly. The restroom was dirty, that I refrained myself from using it. Despite the atmosphere, this place is still worthy to check out especially to have some flavorful food! I went there to try out the pav bhaji, since everyone raves about it. I felt the pav bhaji was mediocre. However, the bhakri Pizza was amazing! Everything about it was absolutely perfect! I would definitely go back to have the pizza! read more

Everything is good. Thali was generous. Rava masala dosa was delicious. Coconut chutney was great. Service was good.

The Chana Puri is truly one of the most amazing things I've ever put in my mouth...you should go just to experience it. Also, having tried every chaat stand in Patel Plaza, I can say, with confidence, that Honest's is the best. My kids love the idli and mango lassi. The ingredients are unbelievably fresh and I love that they use all compostable/recyclable containers. And finally, the free Gulab Jabun is a nice touch. AND...they deliver! read more
