  Waaaay too overpriced, so are every other restaurants. Terrible service from outside servers. People who were working inside the kitchen were serving better and quicker than who were outside. One thing I found ridiculously weird about servers was forcefully using english with a fake American accent and it genuinely pisses me off everytime I go. We constantly speaking in Hindi with them and they keep throwing their fake American accent in front of my family was beyond disrespectful. I go to an Indian restaurant to meet my people and to communicate with them in our language. But they just try to look cool (idk in front of who?) while they clearly know that Im trying to speak hindi and its not like they’re Telugu who barely speak hindi, they all are north indians but still they act like they know nothing about their language.

  Really enjoyed our visit to Honest Restaurant. We ordered the Masala Dosa, Bhel Puri, and Cheese Chilli Garlic Toast, and everything was very flavorful. The Masala Dosa was crispy and well made, the Bhel Puri had a nice fresh crunch, and the Cheese Chilli Garlic Toast was definitely our favorite. It was cheesy, spicy, and packed with great flavor. The food tasted authentic, the portions were satisfying, and the service was good. Overall, a great spot for Indian street food. We’ll definitely be back.

  Absolutely loved the vegetarian food at Honest Restaurant. The Paneer Diwani Handi was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being too heavy. The garlic naan was fresh, soft, and full of flavor. What I appreciated most was that the food tasted authentic, comforting, and freshly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the menu has a great variety for vegetarian food lovers. Even if you are not vegetarian, this is still an excellent place to experience the perfect mix of Indian spices, flavors, and authentic cuisine. Definitely one of the spots worth visiting if you enjoy genuine Indian food. Looking forward to coming back again!

  Today I visited this restaurant on Mother’s day with other 4 family. We order Indian Bhakhari pizza and Chinese Bhel and many more items . Surprisingly I found wire in Chinese Bhel. It was sharp and tangled and I thought it is hard cook Bhel item but it was 1 inch tangled wire. I reported to employee and he said that he is gonna talk to Manager. After long time waiting for manager there is no response from any of the employee. I asked again for manager and employee said they will not charge for wire food. :-) This is not joke and it can be serious and dangerous if this kind of mistake happens to kid’s food. Very disappointed with this episode..😡 1st photo Bhel with wire 2nd manager card with food and wire Finally all I would say : Beware of wire in food and drinks and chew properly😡

  had heard a lot of good things about this place, but my experience was disappointing. To start with the positives, the ambience was decent, the place was clean, and the lighting was nice. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of my visit. The lady taking orders was very rude and unprofessional. When I entered with two other people, we waited to be assisted, but she did not come to us. Instead, while attending to other guests, she gestured from across the restaurant and pointed us toward a table. That felt inappropriate and unwelcoming. After we sat down and looked at the menu, we ordered a few items, including samosa chaat. She told us they were out of it, so I politely asked what she would recommend instead. She suggested vada pav and then asked if I had ever had it before. I replied that I had eaten it back in India, but not after coming here. She immediately responded, “Well, this is not India.” I was honestly shocked and confused by that response. I could not tell whether she was trying to recommend something or discourage us from ordering it. Considering this place has such a big name and reputation in the Cleveland area, I expected much better hospitality. I really hope the owner considers hiring or training staff who understand basic customer service. Overall, I was very disappointed.
