    two people standing outside of a fast food restaurant

    I was craving for bombay street food, and I feel honest does check lot of the boxes. I feel I don't want to bad mouth about the entire organization but only this location. My buddy and his family visited us from a different state and I recommended to meet me at this restaurant for dinner. Bad choice! Ordered pavbhaji - burnt brown color with close to almost no butter pav Spring dosa - very soggy! I have had very good at Schaumburg honest. Fried rice - uncooked veggies and bad oil taste Gobi Manchurian bad oil taste Couple of Mango lassis were only good So moral of the review is Dont go an hour before their closing or end of the weekend. 1star for everything except the mango Lassi's!

    Honest Niles was pretty good. We went in on a Friday evening, and thankfully, it wasn't too busy. Among 5 people, we ordered Dabeli, Pav Bhaji, Dahi Puri Chat, Papdi chat, Samosa and Falooda. Dabeli was pretty good. The filing inside mine wasn't completely heated, was kinda cold. The spice was good. OG fans, it misses pomegranates, but I can imagine that it's tedious to arrange. Each order comes with two dabelis so be aware of that. Pav Bhaji was good. The Bhaji was alright. The Pav/bread was heated and buttered perfectly. The order comes with 4 Pavs so doesn't need an order of extra bread. Dahi Puri Chat and Papdi chat were both good. If I had to choose, I'd pick Papdi chat. Samosa was alright. Not bad, not great. Falooda- I'd suggest to skip it even and especially if you love Falooda. The vermicelli was odd, there's no ice cream and it tastes exactly like rose milkshake. Not much beyond it. In all, it does the job and satisfies your Indian food cravings. Don't expect it to taste like Indian street food standards. Definitely one of the good joints in the US. Service was good, and we didn't have to wait a ton for our food. P.S. Staff and Service don't really wear a mask, so if it is important, skip this.

    Very disappointing experience Tasteless food Foods does not worth the price I feel cheated. Will never go again.

    Honest review here! Love me some indian street food, and my vegetarian family members love this place. Its located in a small strip mall across from Patel brothers. Nothing fancy here, very simple, looks like a pop up restaurant. The menu is pretty extensive which is great, although they did not have many items including paneer. Running out of paneer at 1pm at a indian veg spot ,really? Other then that the food was pretty flavorful, they do drown everything in butter though. Portions are kinda small and hard to justify the slightly elevated prices. I feel "honestly" this place can do better. The food is good, it just seems poorly managed and service very nonchalant . I think more effort can be put in overall.

    We came here with our toddlers kids and my in-laws who are strict vegetarians. The place was busy for lunch on Saturday. Good place with a full vegetarian menu. We ordered : - dry chili paneer -very good - schewan noodles - spicy and tasty. My 3 yr took a few bites but it was spicy for him - pav bhaji (it's like an Indian vegetarian sloppy Joe) - the pav(bread) was toasted to a buttery goodness. The veggies were okay too much masala. Good to try - Dahl puri - good to try but had some tad sweetness. We all seems to enjoy the food. It wasn't clear if we were to clear our own plates at the end. They have a trash in the front but the plates don't fit in the hole so I had to stuff it in.

    I happened upon this restaurant, looking for some quick vegetarian fare, and I'm so glad I stopped in. Mohnish working at the front counter was very hospitable and generous, offering me free samples of some food I was eyeing, made personalized recommendations for me (based on the fact that i don't eat dairy), and told me about the fresh masala soda they make there. I got a grilled veggie sandwich and it was outstanding. I haven't had food this good since my Indian friend's mom would send extra food with him at lunch just for me. I'll definitely be back with any friends I can bring here. I live in Evanston and the only thing at all close to this near me is at Kamdar Plaza, but its menu is not as complete as this spot.

A few "highlights" of our visit: Dishonesty: A server lied and said there was no kids' menu (which is clearly listed on their website) just to avoid a meal substitution. When I asked about ordering chicken tenders, the server told me they didn't have a kid's menu and were only making an "exception" for my daughter. I later found the full kids menu on their website. Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.

I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

Our order included: cocktail samosas, palak paneer, baigan bharta, and the chicken tikka masala. The meal comes with three naan and rice on the side, as well as a dessert. We went with the gulab jamun. I also wanted an order of soup momos, so we added that onto our already robust order as well. (They didn't disappoint, so delicious.) Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.

Some of our items took longer to come out than others (they forgot about one of the dishes), so I might not come in a time crunch, but the food was all delicious. You can definitely tell it was made with care. And although we didn't get dessert they have plenty of paletas and ice cream options! The place is clean and neat, decor is super bright and cute. There's a decent sized parking lot they share with the rest of the plaza, but it tends to fill up quickly. Not sure why but the lot was pretty busy on a random Wednesday.
