We came here with our toddlers kids and my in-laws who are strict vegetarians. The place was busy for lunch on Saturday. Good place with a full vegetarian menu. We ordered : - dry chili paneer -very good - schewan noodles - spicy and tasty. My 3 yr took a few bites but it was spicy for him - pav bhaji (it's like an Indian vegetarian sloppy Joe) - the pav(bread) was toasted to a buttery goodness. The veggies were okay too much masala. Good to try- Dahl puri - good to try but had some tad sweetness. We all seems to enjoy the food. It wasn't clear if we were to clear our own plates at the end. They have a trash in the front but the plates don't fit in the hole so I had to stuff it in.

My visit to Honest in Niles left me disappointed. Despite a relatively empty restaurant, the service was slow, lacking urgency and attention. The dahi puri was a letdown with sour, unfresh dahi. The taste fell short of authenticity. While the ambiance was pleasant and staff polite, these positives couldn't compensate for the overall disappointment. Honest should address these concerns to offer a better dining experience. Regrettably, I cannot recommend Honest based on the slow service and subpar dahi puri.Note: This review reflects my personal experience.

I've been honest a few times and every time have had a different experience - to start all the food takes a very long time to get made and for your order to be done. I've tried a bunch of different foods off their menu and my favorite has to be the pani puri, chutney cheese sandwich, and dosa. I'm not a huge fan of their Pav bhaji and I feel like all their Indo-Chinese is very burnt and overcooked, and very Smokey!

We usually go to Naperville location. We thought of trying Niles location but we totally regret it now. The food quality does not match and presentation of food is not great. Ambience really sucks. We ordered chole bhature and cheese sandwich neither the taste or presentation was consistent with the location in Naperville. Never coming back. This is one of the reason I do not like indian restaurants because they lack consistency in taste every time you eat there.

I was craving for bombay street food, and I feel honest does check lot of the boxes. I feel I don't want to bad mouth about the entire organization but only this location. My buddy and his family visited us from a different state and I recommended to meet me at this restaurant for dinner. Bad choice! Orderedpavbhaji - burnt brown color with close to almost no butter pavSpring dosa - very soggy! I have had very good at Schaumburg honest.Fried rice - uncooked veggies and bad oil tasteGobi Manchurian bad oil tasteCouple of Mango lassis were only good So moral of the review is Dont go an hour before their closing or end of the weekend.1star for everything except the mango Lassi's!

Honest Niles was pretty good. We went in on a Friday evening, and thankfully, it wasn't too busy. Among 5 people, we ordered Dabeli, Pav Bhaji, Dahi Puri Chat, Papdi chat, Samosa and Falooda. Dabeli was pretty good. The filing inside mine wasn't completely heated, was kinda cold. The spice was good. OG fans, it misses pomegranates, but I can imagine that it's tedious to arrange. Each order comes with two dabelis so be aware of that.Pav Bhaji was good. The Bhaji was alright. The Pav/bread was heated and buttered perfectly. The order comes with 4 Pavs so doesn't need an order of extra bread. Dahi Puri Chat and Papdi chat were both good. If I had to choose, I'd pick Papdi chat. Samosa was alright. Not bad, not great.Falooda- I'd suggest to skip it even and especially if you love Falooda. The vermicelli was odd, there's no ice cream and it tastes exactly like rose milkshake. Not much beyond it. In all, it does the job and satisfies your Indian food cravings. Don't expect it to taste like Indian street food standards. Definitely one of the good joints in the US. Service was good, and we didn't have to wait a ton for our food. P.S. Staff and Service don't really wear a mask, so if it is important, skip this.

Honest review here! Love me some indian street food, and my vegetarian family members love this place. Its located in a small strip mall across from Patel brothers. Nothing fancy here, very simple, looks like a pop up restaurant. The menu is pretty extensive which is great, although they did not have many items including paneer. Running out of paneer at 1pm at a indian veg spot ,really? Other then that the food was pretty flavorful, they do drown everything in butter though. Portions are kinda small and hard to justify the slightly elevated prices. I feel "honestly" this place can do better. The food is good, it just seems poorly managed and service very nonchalant . I think more effort can be put in overall.
