The gujju guy’s attitude was worst. We were super excited to try out this place, drove from northern Cali to specially eat at Honest but were super disappointed. The food quality and taste didn’t match the actual Honest restaurant at all. We are originally from A’bad and we know the taste of Honest in and out, this place completely failed to maintain the authentic Pav bhaji taste and didn’t live up to our expectations ?. . Not only that the other dishes ordered were also below average. The whole point of opening a franchise is to match customer’s expectation by maintaining that exact quality standards else it doesn’t make any sense. Anyone can sell the same menu items without getting franchise. Not only that, at the end when I asked the guy to share the no. of the Honest management who manages Honest franchises just because one of our friends in norther Cali is interested in opening one, that guy just rudely denied to give out the no. by saying that Honest doesn’t give out franchises anymore, so I can’t share any nos.with you, which is pathetic. Why would he have a problem in sharing a no.and while Honest is in expansion phase why would they not be interested in giving out a franchise? Would not recommend this place to anyone for sure. This guy not lost us but many other future customers as well. I hope Honest management team Reads this Review ****

It seemed like the food was just heated and served to us. Pav bhaji was horrible. Triple schezwan was ok and sandwich was ok.

Honest restaurant not being honest, Clearly mention on menu card as service tax will apply on 5+ people still on final check service tax applied on 5 people. So people be careful with the how many people you are going. Really, bad

Good food and good service. But there has to be some limit on quantity, Increased the price of falooda and reduced the size of the to go cup, extremely small! Doesn't make sense to me how do they charge 9$ for like a 1/2 cup falooda?!!!
Expected more flavors and taste. Thai took for ever to come, but was adequate in content and taste.
