Honest Restaurant Cleveland

Y'all, this was one of my favorite meals of 2024. Everything from start to finish was incredible and I've been daydreaming about going back every day. I started my meal with the pani puri which was perfection. You make each individual bite yourself and everything was flavored perfectly. For my main course, I had the Malai Kofta, this is my go-to meal at Indian restaurants so I had to order it as my first time here. I'm so glad I did because it was heaven in my mouth. The sauce is so silky, sweet, and spicy, and the kofta was soft and delectable. I ordered a dessert of kesar pista falooda which seemed to have been from the Gods. This pistachio, saffron, dried fruit masterpiece was so good that I drank it fast enough to give me a stomach ache. I give this experience 100% and cannot wait to go back and try more things from the menu!

Food was super good and authentic. Almost everyone eating here is Indian- That's a good sign. Portions were large and flavors were very good.Had the honest special sandwich and dabang dosa. I would order both again.

I was seeking a vegetarian restaurant and discovered this place. This was my first time trying the food. I ordered Masala Papad (I loved it) and Bhaji Pav (spicy but very tasty and I added a photo of it). Overall the food was great. The ambience was casual and family friendly. The service was ok.

Decent vegetarian food in Cleveland. This is a part of the chain of Honest restaurants all over the country. We ordered the vada pav, kachori chaat, honest special pav bhaji, Mysore sada dosa, masala dosa and jaljeera. The vada pav was very good and authentic to what I've been used to back home in India. The dosas were good too. The Honest special pav bhaji had too many raisins and was on the sweeter side even though I had asked for a spicy version. The kachori chaat was just ok. The jaljeera was a little artificial tasting as compared to what I have in India. The service was quick. They were nice but overtly pleasant. The ambiance is very simple. There is a parking lot outside, which is nice. If you are wanting Indian vegetarian food without a lot of frills, this is the place. Don't expect to get fancy food or service when you come here.

Great spot for vegetarians. Selection for food and dessert is great and very affordable compared to other Indian restaurants in the area or Cleveland! Service was good and service was quick!

I got take out from here earlier this week and it was absolutely delicious! I tried the honest Thali so I could get a taste of some of their curries and other items and it was phenomenal. There was so much food, I actually got 2 meals out of it! I didn't dine in but when I did go in to pick up my order the entire restaurant smelled amazing and looked so bright and welcoming inside. I will definitely be back!

Super friendly service and great food! I had the dabang dosa and it was delicious. Really good mocktail too! The server was great about answering our questions. Come hungry! Very large portions.

We almost didn't find this place because it gives off a breakfast chain vibe from the outside. I liked the sea foam green booths and chairs and the wallpaper was really nice. Place looked clean. The food we ordered was delicious and I made a point to order things we normally would get at our local Indian restaurant. We ordered Sev Puri, my favorite and something i would order again. It was the perfect app, light and refreshing and packed with flavor. Up next was the Veg Jaipur curry. We ordered it medium and it was seasoned perfectly. Spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. We also ordered the Spring Dosa, unfortunately I thought the menu meant it was vegan as is not that I had to request it vegan. It came with cheese on it. My wife didn't mind and enjoyed a couple pieces then we packed the rest to take home for our kids. They all enjoyed it. Roti and naan we also had and enjoyed as well as a chai tea for my wife on the way out. Everything was great. What I want to point out is the dishes marked as vegan aren't necessarily already vegan, you need to ask. I didn't and ended up with a dish I wanted to try. It couldn't. The only thing I would give a negative comment about was the disposable plates and cups. It cheapened the feel a bit. Maybe that's why the prices are reasonable?I really liked this place and will definitely go back to try other things there.

Fresh, authentic Indian street food. Honest offers a myriad of Indian cuisines. There's plenty of South Indian, North Indian as well as street food options. The serves was quick and the waiter was very attentive to our large party. We all had fun and can't wait to come back to this restaurant

Honestly this is one of the few Indian places that has some real good authentic Indian spices and flavors, oh and they're purely vegetarian. My favorite things to eat here are - Manchow Soup, all of their dosa varieties, vada pav, pav bhaji, most of their chaat items ( Chinese bhel, sev puri, Pani puri), noodles and Manchurian (both dry and gravy). The place is huge yet simple, they're usually pretty busy so I prefer to order takeout instead. Once you get your orders in the service is pretty quick though. The only thing I was disappointed with was Shrikhand - which is a sweet; hung yogurt mixed with nuts flavoured with cardamom and saffron. It was neither sweet jor had flavors of cardamom or saffron. But overall I do like their food and one of my to go Indian food places especially when I'm craving pure Indian flavors s.
