    Vegan noodle dish
    Lori A.

    Great service and great food! We really enjoyed the vegan options. The restaurant is lovely inside and there is a patio as well, but I'm not sure how much it gets used. They were very accommodating answering our questions and recommending vegan dishes. Full bar with great happy hour too.

    Vada Pav

    Wherever I travel in the US and I see Honest Indian restaurant, I HAVE TO TRY! This reminds me of my hometown in India where it first started. I was pleasantly surprised to find this in the Phoenix area. It is probably the only honest that has a bar! And they had happy hour too! Nothing like having a glass of champagne with chaat! Their chaats were spot on, we tired sev puri, vada pav and dabeli. Indian style bhakri pizza was good but lacked the sweet and spicy sauce that I am used to. Pav bhaji which is honest's signature dish, was ok.. something was missing from the authentic taste, I can't pin point. Service was great and the ambiance is elegant. We ended with their house made meetha paan which was delicious.

    We were happy to see a new Indian restaurant in the area. When you walk in, it is bright and modern inside. Very spacious. Service was so-so. Nobody was at the hostess desk to greet us. When someone finally acknowledged us, it wasn't too friendly or welcoming. The menu selection is a bit mixed. It's all vegetarian but there are North Indian dishes and South Indian dishes. Then, there are Indochinese fusion dishes. Some items could use better descriptions or photos. There is a thali that sounded possible but I had no idea what came in it. Our server took a while to come to the table. So we ordered our drinks and food together. Then, the kitchen took a bit longer than desired to deliver food out. I love Dosa and Idli so that's what I ordered since I was starving. They each could be a meal by themselves. The idli was good but the consistency of it was improper. It did not hold together at all to dip in sambar or chutney. It tasted good was very grainy and I could only eat it with a fork. The dosa was huge and a little too greasy. They formed it so thin that it also was hard to eat with the sambar or chutneys that came with it. In the end, this place has some improvements to make but it is nice to have another place to come fix my cravings.

    Ok I'm not Indian, I'm not vegetarian and I'm not an expert on Indian food. Lols But I love it, I've had my fair share of Indian eats as well as homemade from my friends. Plenty of parking outside and when you walk in, I appreciate the nice entry with the food cart, moped and food pictures. Very instagrammy though I didn't get to take any pics of it. Lols My friend and I were super hungry and greeted right away when we walked in on a Monday evening. The restaurant is pretty spacious. It wasn't busy yet, maybe two other tables of people. Our waiter was nice and quick with getting our orders, water and serving our food. There's a lot of variety on the menu from Indian sandwiches, pizza, dosas, Bombay chat, Indian Chinese, naan, to masalas and dal. Some may say it's too much but I love it! I never see pani puris at Indian restaurants so I was excited to get this and I love a good dosa so that's what I ordered. Usually the dosa I've had came rolled with the potatoes inside but this was draped like a triangle over the potatoes. Both were delish. The only thing I didn't care for was the white and green chutney for the dosa but I liked the red one. I love Gobi Manchurian (no gravy) so I ordered that one as well, it was delish. Very spicy so I wouldn't order that if you can't hang. Lols My friend ordered the samosa chaat and liked it. I've never had this before, not something I'd order again but it was ok for me. It was interesting to see that around 8 it got very busy. My friend and I were busy talking that we didn't realize it was almost 10 when the waiter kindly told us they were closing soon! Lols Anyways, I would def come back bc there are a lot of other meals I want to try.

    Gujrati Thali

    The Honest in Chandler has to be my best experiences with Honest. The food is delicious, the service is great and the ambiance is fine dine. The ambience at this Honest is very different from the others which have been more of self service kinds! I've tried the gujrati thali, bahubali sandwich and Chole bature. All have been great but I would highly recommend the gujrati thali, if you love gujrati food. It's delicious and so authentic!

    6/2024- Bhaji Pav
    Tzarina W.

    Vegetarian! Sure let's try it! I believe outside decor had the outdoor lights hanging from the previous establishment. They added a tuk tuk which is like a little golf cart vehicle for driving people around in India. When you walk inside they have some nice up-close pictures of some of their dishes, some instagram worthy picture spots by their moped, a food stand and an a greenery vibe with chairs and their brand HonesT. There were plenty of seating everywhere with hues of yellows and bright colors adorned with lots of colorful bangles. They have a glass area so you can see the cooks. One area that we were sitting at looks like it can be a private area to seat around 20 people. We decided to do street foods only- What we ordered: Bhaji Pav- Vegetable curry with species and bread (pav) $14. Flavors were wonderful but it was spicy for me. This presentation was different for me because the pav was all mixed in the bhaji whereas I've had it with bread on the side and you dip the bread with it. Fried papad 2pc - this looks like a big round tortilla chip. It's actually made of lentils and some salt and eaten as a snack. Kids always love these. $2 Dahi Puri- this is made of puffy crisp wheat shells (puri) filled with potatoes, cilantro mint green chutney (spicy), tamarind chutney (sweet) and topped with yogurt (dahi) and sev (crunchy fried gram flour), cilantro and purple sliced carrots (which is new to me). This is a fave of mine and is a Mumbai popular snack. $9 Then we also ordered another Dahi Puri without the green chutney but still had some spices that was a tiny bit spicy. Yogurt helps to clam down that spice. Plain Uttapum - rice lentil pancake with some chutneys: a coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sanbar (which is a vegetable lentil soup). Sanbar was good but a bit of spice $9 Steam Idli (2pc) - South Indian rice cake (which are soft little mounds with texture of a cake) with similar sanbar and chutneys like above. You dip the idli into the sanbar and chutneys. The rice cakes fell apart so that is not what I'm used to. $7 Mango shake - refreshing mango shake for the summer $8 Overall tastes were flavorful, spicy is roaming around and a variety of options were available. Next time I'll have to try entree dishes with naan and some other typical foods that I've also tried. The server kept asking us if we wanted to order desserts and we kept saying no. We were full. Other than that the staff was attentive. Payment is done at the table. Until next time.

    Don't get fooled by the decor and the looks of the restaurant. I don't know how to describe this vegetarian Indian eatery. They have table service but the food menu has too much variety that gives food court vibe! Got seated immediately. We ordered 2 chai, Samosa chat w/d choley, Mysore masala dosa, and wada pav. The food came so quickly that we were surprised. Like we literally just ordered. The chai was decent, came in a red mud cup! The chat was stale. The samosa clearly was stale. The dressing on top just saved the flavor. Next our Dosa was moist, mushy, and cold. It was not crispy at all. How can a freshly made Dosa be soft and cold? The potatoes inside felt too dry. The chutney and sambar were clearly stale. Next the wada pav was decent then the dosa. I wish a normal Hawaiian bun instead of sweet brioche bun was used. The bun totally killed the authenticity of Wada Pav! It breaks my heart to see promising new business go downhill and give low importance to the quality of the food. Add to the irony is the name of the restaurant, Honest! Pls don't go by the decor. The food definitely does not deliver.

    Samosa Chaat With Chole
    Greeshma R.

    You have to try this place if you are vegetarian or vegan! This place is on my radar since the time it opened and finally got a chance to try for a lunch. The ambiance, decor everything is 5/5, finally an Indian restaurant who has given some importance to the look and feel of the place. We were seated and the service is quick and everything is digital, the menu is available and placed order to the server. We went with couple of chaat items samosa chaat and dahi poori, both excellent, flavors were good and tasty. I would highly recommend the chilli garlic noodles, the taste is top notch. We tried the chaas, it was alright and not the best. Overall a good place for lot of options. I hope they stay consistent and quality doesn't go down. The pricing is expensive and for two it turned out to be $75, it's valid for the food but not completely justified.

    So, if you visited under prior owners you would have entered a stale industrial opened area. They have softened it and brightened it. The furniture is comfy and it's not nearly as loud now that they have some furniture to absorb the sounds. This is a chain restaurant that originated in India in 1975 that was started as a food cart. In 2022 there were 39 restaurants in the US. They have an extensive menu. You can choose between vegetarian, Jain, swaminarayan. I ordered a garlic noodle dish. The waitress was kind enough to tell me that the peppers in there will light you up. I have Hindi friends. And they don't claim a temp until there are flames shooting out my ....... So I heeded her warning and asked for no peppers. Everything was wonderful. Freshly made. Fresh ingredients. So flavorful. The masala soda was interesting. Hold your breath and it won't taste so bad.

    Dabeli 2pcs $10.99
    Pratishruti M.

    We were excited to explore this new Indian restaurant with an Interesting name. It's great to have a pure vegetarian/ vegan spot. I feel such options are definitely limited. The food itself is a solid three stars, nothing exceptional, the curries were basic. Ambiance is inviting, and xtra points for cleanliness. Service was ok. We were there on a weekend and it was getting difficult to manage tables. Loved the mango lassi, dabeli and different chat options on the menu. Extensive variety but Pricing on some of the items is a little on the higher side. Definitely check them out if you haven't. Cheers!
