Wow experience. Food is excellent. Ambience is even better. The owners and workers are awesome. Great service. Ample parking. Can be clubbed in with Indian grocery shopping. It's a win win. Definitely recommended if in the area looking for an awesome vegetarian meal. Options for great snacks, lunch dinner and desserts. Will try the indo Chinese next.
I am a vegetarian.. and this place is just perfect for me. The food quality is just yummm! My personal favorite is the new sugarcane juice they’ve started.. this area was so missing it!
We had a delightful experience at Honest restaurant. Visited with family, including my parents and a kid. We ordered a variety of food—dosa, pav bhaji, paneer chilli, spring rolls, and ended with faloodas. The food was great. Parents and Kid loved it. It’s a great spot for vegetarian food lovers. Highly recommend it. We’ll definitely be back!
AMAZING experience when we tried Honest in Mechanicsburg's grand opening last week! Very clean, modern restaurant/bistro type of vibe with an ordering/paying station in front, waiting area, self-seating and juice bar in the back. We tried a mix of different food items and all were finger-licking tasty! We got indo-chinese bhel, szechuan noodles, baubhali sandwich, fries, bhakri pizza and pav bhaji. I can't wait to go back and try the pani puri and falooda! (We did take out because #covid - hence some of the food pictures)
Ok, so I ordered Paneer Chili, because I've had it elsewhere, I asked for it mild. But not quite understanding the spice level of the dish with gravy, it came out spicier than I was expecting (it is called Chili 🌶 after all). I was not able to finish it, realizing my mistake, I asked for a Paneer Tikka instead. And although I realized it was my own mistake, and I was fully intending to pay for my mistake and the second dish, the wonderful guy with glasses 👓 at the counter waived my second bill. Soo kind!! I would say Excellent customer service, and great food too!! The Pistachio Faloodi was amazing too!! 😋🍧🍨 Highly recommend!! 👌
It is said that in America, 90% of Indian restaurants are owned by Nepalis, who don't have much knowledge of authentic Indian taste. However, the owner of Honest Restaurant is Indian and has a deep understanding of Indian flavors. That's why I would recommend everyone to try this restaurant at least once.
Honest has been our go to restaurant for whenever we want to eat good food. I am a huge Indian food fan and will not compromise on it so I prefer going to honest. The restaurant and the staff have been wonderful to us. It’s almost an year that we have been their regular faces. Their food quality is amazing, has taste and definitely hits the spot. It’s always clean. The food is fresh. I love their North Indian food options a lot. Chole bhatura and Chole Puri are our favourite. I will definitely recommend them anytime.
