Love eating at this place. All delicious items. Paav Bhaji is of course the best of all. Their grilled Bombay sandwich, Dahi poori, Chhole Bhature. Absolutely delicious.
I was seeing a patient in town and chose to stop by. The quality of the food was amazing. The service was great. They were very patient with my indecisiveness. I chose to have sizzling vegetables with cheese, chai, naan and raasmali I definitely look forward to coming back again
We were a big group and came in without calling. They were very accommodating and provided over the top service. Definitely will becoming here from now on!
Absolutely loved my experience at Honest Vegetarian in Hillside! 🌱 The food is fresh, flavorful, and there are so many amazing options to choose from. We started with fresh juices, followed by a wholesome moong dal dosa that was perfectly made. Everything here is 100% vegetarian, and they also have plenty of vegan-friendly options. The dahi puri and chilli paneer were delicious, and the mushroom sizzler was incredibly satisfying. I also loved the comforting daals, fresh tandoori chapatis, and their pav bhaji — a must-try! The masala soda was super refreshing, and ending the meal with paan and falooda was the perfect finish. Great food, great variety, and a wonderful place for vegetarian comfort food. Highly recommend!
10/10 one of my favorite Indian restaurants in NYC! Staff is so kind and helpful, food is always amazing. Will always come here when I’m craving dosas
Hands down the best Indian Veg restaurant in Queens. Love their Dosa , Chole Bhature and Indian Chinese. If you haven’t tried it u must ! They have amazing vegan Ice cream options!
Honest Restaurant in NYC truly lives up to its name! The food is absolutely delicious with bold, authentic flavors that taste just like home. Their menu has a huge variety, so there’s always something exciting to try—whether you’re craving classic dishes or something new. The customer service is outstanding. The staff is warm, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you walk in. Everything was served fresh, quickly, and with a smile. If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fantastic overall dining experience, Honest Restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
General opinion: -> all veg items / no meat / halal options -> open till late comparing to the other stores in that location -> stuff behavior and welcoming 10/10 -> clean -> Prices $$ , less than the other similar places -> food quality 👌 😋 i liked them. Taste may vary based on your choice. No comment on taste. But foods are fresh. I will recommend this store for a quick grab or a heavy food time. Street parking but not easy to find. Regarding my food choice: I love their dosas.
Two things we love for local eats - vegetarian and desi. And the wife cannot stand cilantro. So when the super friendly staff said the entire menu can be made without cilantro she thought she just found desi restaurant heaven. We had no idea they had dining but were geared to take it to go. Will definitely head back for a dine in because the place is very comfy, swanky, vibe. Neat, clean and can be a great spot for a few friends to get together or have a nice table for 2. Ordered up a bhaji pau, palak paneer, pondicherry dosa, and a couple naans. We ate for 2 meals worth of- and it was perfect. Nothing salty, big issue sometimes with desi grub. And even as "hot" feel like it was perfect amount of heat. Just counting down the days till our next visit.
I recently visited Honest, an Indian restaurant , and had a wonderful experience with their authentic flavors. The Punjabi thali stood out with its variety of delicious dishes that reminded me of home-cooked meals from my childhood. The naan served at Honest was incredibly soft and complemented the rich gravies and curries in the thali perfectly. While the Gobi Manchurian with gravy was good, I personally prefer the dry version for its stronger flavors and crispy texture. The Masala Vegetable Grilled Sandwich, although not as spicy as I expected, might appeal to those who prefer milder flavors. The spices were well-balanced, but I prefer a bit more heat. The restaurant's ambiance was welcoming, and the service was excellent. The staff's knowledge about the dishes added to the overall experience.
This was a better place until the new management took over, the food takes really long to get to table plus the only food what we liked out of ordering 5 or 6 plates is the only Tandoori Panner as a appetizer and the cheese Bhaji Pav was also really mouth watering, their Dosa was not at all up to the mark as it used to be, it appeared really good the presentation was also worth it, but the taste lacked a lot on this plate. The potato mix was really bland and not at all hot inside. The servers were really laid back, forgot our one plate we ordered and had to wait almost 10 minutes to get it and we were 4 people and added their own tip for $20 the bill was over $120 plus the tip without our consent he added and said just to sign. Didn’t argue but if it was worth the service would have happily taken this cheque. Well we may still come back later if people post some good reviews back to back. 💯👍💯
This was a very disappointing experience. I spent $94 and received food that felt cheap, poorly prepared, and surprisingly skimpy in portion size. The pricing is completely disconnected from the quality. If you are ordering from this area, do yourself a favor and choose another restaurant. You can get far better food and larger portions for much less. I regret ordering here.
With so many options available in the area, I feel there’s really no reason to come here. It felt like a comedy of errors unfolding in real-time. While systems are designed to avoid single points of failure, this place seems to have multiple points of failure—and we witnessed them in execution. Some orders made it through, while others were inexplicably dropped from the system even after being repeated several times. When we asked about the difference between the regular pau bhaji and the Honest special pau bhaji, the waiter replied, “There must be something different between the two, only the chef knows.” As it turns out, the difference was cashews and raisins in the bhaji—an unnecessary and gimmicky addition. Both versions of the bhaji were unimpressive. The fried rice was stale and overly spicy, even after specifically requesting they be made non-spicy for the kids. The dahi vada was dry inside, and some of our “cocktails” never even arrived. The abysmal parking situation does not help—though that is of no fault from this establishment. The good among the chaos - the Hakka noodles and sizzling paneer were flavorful. Wish all the dishes were at this grade. My honest opinion of HonesT - avoid.
I called at 1:44pm to order for 2 aloo parathas for pick up. It took them 25 mins to make it ready. No one knows what’s going on. One person says 5 minutes another one 2 minutes, it’s insane. I’m not sure if they don’t have enough chefs but since the new management has taken over this place is not what it used to be. I have been going there for ages, it’s one of my favorite place but now I’m not sure anymore. Every time the food tastes different. One time my aloo paratha looks like real paratha another time like today it looks like stuffed naan. It’s so weird. Like seriously get your act together and be like before!!! I won’t be going there anytime soon. I’m really disappointed. Waited 25+ minutes after calling for 2 parathas and getting stuffed naan is simply disgusting!
Terrible service, they have made their portions are cut in half, and the prices are double the price, i have known this place since it opened now it is just terrible. I ordered springroll the price from before is way higher. And when i got it, it was just 2 pieces cut in half to make 4, while the restaurant just next door gives 5 spring rolls in lower the amount. I hated them last night, i had went for a new years dinner it was a terrible experience, they took out order wrong 2 times.
I just ordered indian thali. I found a rigid plastic marble while i took a bite for the rice and daal. I already have toothe problem this made it more worse. And this is not the first time that has ever happened. I tried not to give a review last time. But couldn’t stop myself to share it on the reviews.
Absolutely terrible. Paid $14.49 for a sandwich that was basically bread and onions. No filling, no value, no shame. This is not food — it’s a joke. Complete waste of money. Never ordering from here again Answer of your reply I have attached the uber order receipt And i just want to know who like to have this big chunks of onion in there food.. and the bell pepper you have mentioned .. check it by yourself how many pieces of bell pepper it has.. you have mentioned about cheese too it has no cheese at all there was only plain boiled potatoes in it..
I have been going to this restaurant since it opened, but yesterday i went after a long time where they changed everything. Their portions are seriously half the size if before. And the service was is terrible they took our order wrong 2 times. The whole time half of our food waa cold while we waited for the other half. And with the portions getting smaller the prizes are double and i know it very well. I had to pay $200 for one family , where at other restaurants i have never payed more then $100
