Its nice to find a decent fast food restaurant in an area with an infinite number of Indian restaurants. Don't expect fine dining decor, just come for the food. Service is pretty fast. Menu is a bit smaller than when it first opened but you should be able to find something for you. The haka noodles were a bit soft, but the flavor was good. Their Manchurian and Panner 65 were pretty good. They're known for their Pav Bhaji which hits the spot. Food is served a la carte and comes out as it is ready.

The location is easy to get to. The food is decent. I love their Kolhapuri and Kulcha. I am not a fan of the pav bhaji but my partner loves it. The service is alright. The ambiance is a little lacking but it works.

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

Ordered take out from this location and the experience was pretty decent. We ordered 6 bhaji pau, 5 veg pulao and extra pav. The order was ready within the specified time and we had to wait only about 5 mins or so for the food. The food was the appropriate level of spicy! Will order again!

Review is for the unlimited vegetarian thali at lunchtime. This is not the best Indian food I've ever had, but it was one of the more delightful Indian meals I have had in New Jersey lately. What made it especially fun were some dishes that I had not had before. Some reviewers are comparing this to other Honest locations. This was my first visit to any of their restaurants, so Honest vets can keep that in mind. Usually Monday to Thursday they have Gujarati food as the unlimited lunch thali option, And on Friday it is Punjabi. But the Punjabi chef was there today instead so we were treated to very tasty Punjabi food. Naan, samosa and rice were OK. (The menu said roti but it was white naan). Also It was not the best dal I ever had. But I liked trying some Indo Chinese dishes in addition to the Punjabi food. I started with Manchow soup, which surprisingly came with fried Chinese noodles on top. It was very garlicky, and a nice change from typical Indian soups. The raita was excellent. I enjoyed the butter paneer and mixed vegetables. Spinach with Chinese corn was also fun to try even if not something I would order al a carte. My favorite dishes were the delectable carrot halwa (i'm a sucker for that dish but this was particularly good) and the surprise complimentary buttermilk served with fresh coriander (what we called cilantro in California). I would definitely try the lunch thali at Honest again on a visit to this area. Service was also very friendly. And they were very patient with my older friend, even as she asked about 25 questions about what she was eating!
