We frequently visit Honest restaurants in Bensalem PA, East Windsor, and Edison. In Edison Honest restaurant I found that they have changed the price menu and all the prices on that menu are ridiculously high. Our two people orders of Soups, chat, two nans, one Veggie, and two Lassi cost us $76.00. I have checked other places the same menu prices are very reasonable. For example, Garlic Nan’s price is $7.79 whereas in other places the same Garlic Nan price is not more than $5.00. Edison Honest they are openly robbing you. Service is horrible. I ordered all the above items and they delivered all of them at the same time. I told the restaurant server, can you bring one after another. No courtesy.

The food was delicious. I thought this was a vegan restaurant, but they cook everything with butter. One fish they were able to made with olive oil, which was nice and delicious. I would definitely go there again.

One of our fav Indian vegetarian places to go to. Whenever my brother comes here from California , he always has to make a stop to have the Chinese bhel. We love the samosa chat , pav bhaji too. The butterscotch shake is also great. Had Chinese one time but didn't like it as much. Service is great.

My friends in NJ sang so many praises for this place, that we had to order when we visited. Note this review is for Sep 2021. We ordered pick up: Pav Bhaji - Not exactly authentic and famous Mumbai Pav bhaji, but still amazing. This was the closest and the best I have had in the US. Comes with 2 pav, we ordered extra. Dried Manchurian - Comes with 7 or 8 balls and has the right amount of spice. Again not the same, but great. I loved it. Fried Rice - Simple yet delicious. Not so spicy but flavorful. Bahubali Sandwich - I am generally not a fan of sandwiches, but this one blew my mind. Loved loved it (it had quite some Amul cheese on it). If you are craving for local Mumbai food, don't even think twice. You will love it. And every bite is going to remind you of the good times and great food you had in Mumbai.

I've been wanting to come here for a while because I've heard the pau bhaji is really good from multiple ppl. My family and I tried a few different things and it was good. The waiter was great, especially considering how busy it was.

Have tried before in honest in Piscataway. I kind of liked that better in taste. Edison was good too, but not dishes. We ordered some veg Hakka noodles and sHezwan friend rice . Both were ok. We also had manchurian dry . Not sure - may be I ordered the wrong item for this place. Not sure what they specialize in .. Will try chaat items and Indian food next time . Disappointed with indo chinese . Lots of parking space available and good service overall..

We went on a busy Sunday evening. There were some negative reviews , so we were slightly apprehensive. Our fear was wrong. The service was prompt. Food was fresh and very tasty. Servers were efficient. I recommend this place to all food lovers , who are not in habit of unnecessary complaints.

Highly recommend this place for the authentic Indian taste. Some recommendations: Pav Bhaji Indo- Chinese Pulavs Punjabi - so far I've tried Paneer Angara, Paneer Toofani and Paneer Handi and they were all delicious. Perfect Indian taste buds spice level.

So living in the Bay Area we've heard a lot about this place. People drive all the way to LA to try this out on the way and since we were in Edison, we thought might as well. We went in with a mission to try out just the pav bhaji and we were in and out of that place in less that 15minutes. Though I must say, the pav bhaji was worth it! Perfectly balanced spices and not too buttery. Bombay style bhaji is usually more mashed and has a smoother consistency compared to the one in north india and is usually heavier on the tomato side. This one however, had the perfect taste. I would probably drive to LA to taste this if the one here is as good as the one in NJ

We stopped by at this restaurant after buying grocery at Patel brother. Decent good, decent ambiance and good service. We went on a Friday evening, so we did not have to wait.
This is a better Honest restaurant than the one in Parsipanny or Jersey city. However there are so many other amazing options in Edison that I get takeouts from here less than I would want to. Definitely order by calling the restaurant or stopping by because if you place it online the prices are $2.00 more per item. I have tried their cheese butter masala, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala, paneer kadai as well. Most of the brown curries have a prominent cardamom taste which I am not a big fan of. I would not come here for their Paneer curries because of that reason. Their Pav bhaji , pulav , pizza etc are better than the other Honest. Definitely coming here every time I stop at Patel's.
Prachi S.
Definitely not the same as it was before. Ordered an Indian style pizza, crispy and ample cheese but the sauce was lacking. Their pav bhaji is usually really good though!

We stopped here ,enroute back home to Massachusetts,for lunch. We had been here a long time back when a friend brought us over suggesting this place had one of the best pav bahji dish! This restaurant is pure vegetarian. This trip we ordered their signature pav bhaji along with butter roti , dal makhani, Chana masala and paneer butter masala. Pav bhaji was good, not too greasy or overly spicy. I think the balance was good. Nothing exemplary. Paneer butter masala, dal makhani were also not bad and Chana masala was good. For butter roti I was not expecting tandoori roti, rather the tava roti. But it was fresh soft and we enjoyed it piping hot with the side dishes. Service was good. This place also sells fresh paan/beeda-betel leaf stuffed with candied fruits and some other flavors. It was very good and we packed some to go! I will suggest this place a visit at least once.

When Honest opened its door we were one of the first to visit and really enjoyed their pav bhaji, dosa, chole bhature, grilled sandwich, noodles and masala soda. The quality and preparation used to be best and fresh! Over years, the quality has gone down and most dishes are low in quality and taste bad. The amount of oil in almost every dish is excessive and at times old. We now avoid going to honest!

There were a few hiccups with the order (gave me dry fruit falooda instead of rose) and the uttapam was a little undercooked. But the excellent customer service made up for it. He was so good about fixing mistakes and was so good about checking up on the table to make sure everything was good.
