For a Sunday night, this place was packed! This attests to the amazing food and service provided when you come visit. We ordered masala papad, masala dosa, mysore sada, bhaji pav, chaat papaadi, and grilled vegetable cheese sandwich, masala soda, and a mango lassi. Every single item was delicious! They also do Jain/Swaminaryan options which is a great advantage for pure veg food.

I ordered a rava onion chilly dosa and a samosa chaat, and let me tell you, I felt like I was back in Chennai with my family eating food from an authentic dosa spot. The flavors were delicious and the food was so good, will definitely be ordering more in the future

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and I ordered the chilly baby corn and the chilly garlic fried rice. The food had a lot of flavor. The chilly garlic rice wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was still very good. The corn dish was a good amount and it didn't feel overly greasy. I would def. come back and try more options. It was very busy, so I did have to wait about 20 minutes for my food, but it was worth it.

I selfishly almost don't want to say too many good things about this spot so that it won't get too crowded when I want to go in, sit down and enjoy a meal. It can appear to some as a bit of a bare bones restaurant styled setting in that there are no wait staff and items like cutlery and napkins are setup as self service but don't let that stop you from sitting and enjoying the meals freshly prepared. The items I've had were very good, some include several paneer dishes - tikka masala, tawa masala, butter, etc., the Hakka noodles which is one of my favorites, the chaat, aloo, bhaji and more. The workers have all been very nice and welcoming and once, while waiting for my takeaway that was only a couple minutes delayed, we were offered an item to enjoy while we waited. It was a small gesture but one that will keep us going back. Since the food ranges from various parts of India so I recommend you try the varieties and mix it up a bit from your ordinary Indian dishes that are served in Baltimore and surrounding areas. Do the dosa! Get a little spicy with a dish but be sure to get a mango lassi to soothe the taste if you're new to spicy. Live a little.

This is a chain which apparently started in India and is now pretty widespread in the U.S., as this is my third Honest. However, the others were more traditional sit-down restaurants, while this one was an order at the counter kind of place, which was chaotic right up until it closed. The large families that congregate here will do that to you, though to the restaurant's credit, staff were pretty efficient about clearing tables and getting us our food. What arrived was credibly rendered food with an enormous array of vegetarian choices. My chole with puri was large and perfectly portioned; my fried bread ran out just as the last bite of chickpeas disappeared, and I did appreciate the onion and pickle accompaniment. I was stuffed having had a South Indian lentil donut, with no room to even finish the accompanying sambar. Indo-Chinese soup and classic dal and rice looked appealing as well. Then again, I could order just about anything here.

Of all the Honest chains I've been to (about 7-8 so far) this is my favorite location! Clean, nicely decorated and boy they bring ahmedabad flavors into your plates right away! The Punjabi thaali is HUGE- make sure 2 people are sharing. By far the largest sized Naan/roti comes here. Chaat was extraordinary, Papdi Chaat is massive serving of Papdis which stayed crisp till the end coated in gujarati phenomenal chutneys. Pav Bhaji is superb- authentic goodness in your mouth and the sweet Paan is a delicious finish. Staff is kind, courteous and very helping. Bathrooms were very clean and we were the first customers of the dine-in AM when they had opened. Will return every time we see in Baltimore!
