The worst you can expect from an Honest Restaurant chain…the staff at all is not friendly…. The taste is bad …. And the quality is beyond worst….

I recently stopped at Honest and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.Firstly, the food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I especially appreciated the guidance from the waiter, who helped me choose the perfect meal tailored to my preferences. It made the dining experience even more enjoyable knowing that I was in good hands.The service was top-notch as well. Everyone from the host to the servers was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the meal. It's clear that they take pride in providing excellent service and creating a welcoming atmosphere for their guests.Additionally, I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The music selection added to the overall vibe, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere to dine in. I love that I got all this food for under $20!Overall, my experience at Honest was fantastic, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back.Vegetarian options: Everything you could think ofParking: It’s a big parking lot
This is rated one from a 5-star rating that I had.I went to this restaurant few years back and it WAS THE best Indian restaurant in NJ, at least one of the best specially due to its Pav Bhaji, Sandwich, Pizza, and Pulav.However, since I moved pretty far now and Parsipanny is at least hour and a half drive from my place, I stopped going.But had some issue and I go to in that area and went to Parsipanny Honest for lunch and now it jas totally gone bad. Maybe there is new management.Food and service have turned bad no doubt.But also this -I don't usually mind for getting mineral water for additional charge. It's actually fine and everyone, every hotel oit there does it.But all those restaurants even have an option for getting basic water.So, even honest charging for water is fine but the issue is they also have stopped giving basic water. What is this ? Like if we want to drink water (which is a basic human tendency) pay at least one dollar or stay thirsty ?And the bottle they give are at max 20 to 30 cents. And so that's why 1 star for this.I mean charge for water fine but also have basic water available, restaurants are not required to FORCE us to have this mineral water alone.So, if they started doing this, don't know what all 5hings they will start doing. So if you want to enjoy some indian food, there are a lot of options in Parsipanny alone like Dosa House, Chand Palace, sree dosa house etc.... Honest is not at all good and even their service has turned bad.

We had very bad experience today they r not serving regular water because they have some problem. They charge us $1 per water bottle. Actual cost of bottle is 50 cents only but they r charging double amount. Top of that Pavbhaji test was very bad it just test was Garam Masala which v use for regular vegetable. Honest people are not Honest they r making Money from water also??

Went there a little before noon for takeout, the restaurant was empty and when we left a big party came in There was another guy also getting takeout. Me and my wife love Indian food though we don't know if something is authentic or not but I have a feeling this is probably on the authentic side. We really enjoyed the paneer tikka marsala. It's on the spicy side with just enough kick for me. Butter naan is also very good despite us eating it at least 40 minutes after I picked it up I bet it's even better when it first came out. We are Chinese so when we go to a Chinese restaurant with a lot of customers, it usually means they serve authentic Chinese food. There brief time we were there, we were the only non-Indian customers, this probably testament of the authenticity of the restaurant it's a little pricy though, I paid over $20 for what you see in the picture. I really like their food so will definitely go back and try other dishes

Just Say...Falvours of India...Really Enjoyed the food and ambiance.
I give 1 star for the food. It was too oily. I give the feedback to the person in billing but he even did not acknowledge it. If you love your health then my recommendation is ignore them.

Food is “OK” not so great, they do not follow the sequence, if you order soup and main course, they will get you the main course first and soup later.Also, the most ridiculous thing is they charge 15% gratuity when they just keep plastic cutlery and tap water and 1 food runner, and I bet they don’t even give tips/gratuity to employees.Gratuity should be charged if it goes to server, it shouldn’t be charged just because you do not have more customers.Think!

I love the Honest Special Grill sandwich! Wish I had a branch of this location nearby. Didn't realize this place was specifically a vegetarian restaurant, my poor reading comprehension. But a very, very good sandwich! If I could eat here weekly, I would!Vegetarian options: Exclusively vegetarian!
