Surrounded by numerous other Indian restaurants, Honest Indian is one to add to your list when looking for southern Indian slanted cuisine. Ordering delivery on a Saturday evening from DoorDash was a breeze and took about 45min to arrive. I decided to try the Papdi Chaat and had to go for one of the dosas--I settled on the Spring Dosa. The Papdi Chaat was a tasty appetizer, coming with a smattering of chutneys and yogurts to customize with. Flavorful and fresh--a great starter for 2-3 people. The dosa was the standout though! More than enough for one diner portions wise. The dough was paper thin, crispy and held up well to a brief reheat in the air fryer. The filling was a deliciously complex blend of spices with just a touch of subtle heat. Excellent first impression, Honest Indian team and looking forward to my next meal!

Food is ok, service is good, but the their overall cleanliness and overcrowding is a little concerning.The customers are primarily Indians and that is usually a good sign regarding food quality, authenticity, and price point.I probably would only do a takeout and call in the order if delivery was not an option.

For a Sunday night, this place was packed! This attests to the amazing food and service provided when you come visit.We ordered masala papad, masala dosa, mysore sada, bhaji pav, chaat papaadi, and grilled vegetable cheese sandwich, masala soda, and a mango lassi. Every single item was delicious! They also do Jain/Swaminaryan options which is a great advantage for pure veg food.

Food here is always great, especially when you need to eat vegetarian options. The restaurant is casual and the employees are nice and considerate.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and I ordered the chilly baby corn and the chilly garlic fried rice.The food had a lot of flavor. The chilly garlic rice wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was still very good. The corn dish was a good amount and it didn't feel overly greasy. I would def. come back and try more options. It was very busy, so I did have to wait about 20 minutes for my food, but it was worth it.

My experience at Honest Indian Restaurant in Maryland fell short of my expectations, especially given my positive dining experience at the similarly named establishment in New Jersey. The Special Pav Bhaji was bland and lacked flavor. The accompanying buns were not heated properly, resulting in a semi-burnt inner crust and a hard center. The Bhel Chat was unremarkable, failing to impress with its average flavors. It's a self service restaurant so nothing worth mentioning about the service.On a side note,restaurant can get pretty loud when busy.

This is a chain which apparently started in India and is now pretty widespread in the U.S., as this is my third Honest. However, the others were more traditional sit-down restaurants, while this one was an order at the counter kind of place, which was chaotic right up until it closed. The large families that congregate here will do that to you, though to the restaurant's credit, staff were pretty efficient about clearing tables and getting us our food.What arrived was credibly rendered food with an enormous array of vegetarian choices. My chole with puri was large and perfectly portioned; my fried bread ran out just as the last bite of chickpeas disappeared, and I did appreciate the onion and pickle accompaniment. I was stuffed having had a South Indian lentil donut, with no room to even finish the accompanying sambar. Indo-Chinese soup and classic dal and rice looked appealing as well. Then again, I could order just about anything here.

Good for Indian veg food and street food. Dahi puri and vada pav are good. Stay away from their rava dosa. Somehow quality has degraded over time.

Changing my review to a 3 star, since the restaurant tried addressing the concerns in a cordial manner. Provided some suggestions on what they can do to improve availability of food advertised on menu. It was frustrating to hear a no every time I visit during weekends for a simple Dosa. May be they should just place a note at the counter and on the site that no dosas would be served during peak times and that will solve the issue.
