I went in for lunch. I was greeted and seated right away. They have a very organized menu , with pictures, and some of the items have descriptions. My food came quickly and was delicious! I tried some new things and loved it all. Don’t be afraid to try things. It’s all good!

Overall, the experience was decent mainly due to the management. The food tasted good, though many menu items were unavailable, which was disappointing. Otherwise, everything else was satisfactory. Improving hospitality could make this place much better.

Specifically for the Mechanicsburg location. Horrible food quality, taste and service. They changed the recipe or something but the food had no taste or proper flavor whatsoever. We ordered Pav Bhaji and it was basically mashed potatoes with some veggies also mashed with garam masala. I’ve been to other locations and you can’t compare them to this one. We also ordered pulav all you could taste is raw ginger and garlic and black pepper, hardly any salt. The khoya kaju had a somewhat decent taste and the naan was basically rogani naan heated up in a pan with butter. If you’re wanting to get some tasty Indian food this is NOT the place to go. Between me and my husband we wasted $60 on food that we couldn’t eat! Honest franchise needs to re evaluate this place for quality control. Also they need to invest in a better ice machine.

Very disappointing experience. The food tasted terrible. Pav Bhaji was bland and seemed to be made with frozen vegetables. I can honestly make better Pav Bhaji at home with fresh ingredients.
We ordered milkshakes for the kids and were very disappointed. The taste was terrible, the presentation was poor, and it was served in a plastic cup even though it cost nearly $10. The milkshake was watery and lacked flavor.
The sandwich was extremely bland and nowhere near how it used to taste earlier. Considering the quality, the prices are ridiculously high.

It is a half cooked restaurant, half of the menu is not available. Less staff on the premises makes the wait time 40 mins after placing the order. We ordered indian style pizza, paid in full before dinning. Half way through the dinner, restaurant manager told us pizza isn’t available and he cannot refund us either. Instead he gave us 2 spoons of paneer chilli order. If the staff is incompetent to process a simple refund or deliver only half the menu, restaurant must close as this is unacceptable and ruins the franchise name. We went in with high hopes but came out frustrated and disappointedly hungry.

Tried Honest Indian recently. Food’s decent, nothing fancy. Just basic Indian fare. Not bad, not mind-blowing. Simple spot if you’re looking for straightforward Indian food.
Their Indo-Chinese is the best so far in the area. Definitely recommending anything and everything on the indo-Chinese menu item.

NEW UPDATE THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE MET ME AT GARBA FUNCTION INSTEAD APOLOGIZE HE WAS KIND OF THREATENING ME AND TELLING ME TO REMOVE MY REVIEW WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HIS EMPLOYEE DOING WITH ME OWNER SAID IF YOU GOING TO TEACH MY CHEF HOW SPICY IT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR KID HE WILL GET MAD ON YOU LOOK AT THE ATTITUDE (OWNER HAS TO THANKFUL TO ME I DID NOT COMPLAIN TO FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE HEATHE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE TILE ON TOP OF OUR HEAD WAS MISSING NOT ONLY IN THAT PLACE MISSING FROM BATHROOM AS WELL BATHROOM WAS DIRTY AND FILTHIEST NOW WE WILL NEVER GO AT THIS PLACE FOR SURE) AND GOOD LUCK CUSTOMERS Worst food and service ever. Always still food. Advice not to order Chinese bhel because every time I got the burnt noodles in that. And we ask them to replace they argue. The place is dirty as well specially restrooms. Not sure about the kitchen but should be dirty as well. No customer service at all.If you are lucky then you will get the desired taste and quality in food. Always get out from there with bad experience and mood. Avoid to go on ur special day as will be spoiled.

Tried their for 4-5 times. Pav bhaji tasted very consistent everytime.
Most of the dishes we tried tasted good.
Sev puri was very tangy. Vegetable cheese sandwich could be more flavorful.

Very modern vibe to an Indian Restaurant! Order and pay at the front and food comes to your seat. Have lots of various dishes that I would want to try later.
Must Try:
•Paneer Chili
•Samosa Chaat (the chutneys made this dish VERY good)
•Kattappa Sandwich (four slices of bread with various layers of chutneys and veggies. This could easily fill 2-3 people up!)

My HONEST review (no pun intended :])
Had 4 plates-
1. Vegetable sandwich (grill) – $7.99
Toasted bread with tomato, cucumber, green chutney with chips and ketchup on side.
My take….3/10. Dish was warm as expected. Extremely mediocre sandwich with mild taste for $8 (I mean c’mon tomato and cucumber only?!….one would think vegetable sandwich would have vegetables. However raw onions on side was on point with paprika on it.
2. Bahuballi sandwich grill – $11.49
4 layer sandwich shredded beet/carrot/onions/tomato/masala mashed potatoes with seasoned fries and ketchup on side.
My take….6/10…interesting taste..new thing to try. Dish was warm as expected. Hate it or love it type of taste. Didn’t really appreciate the sweetness in the savory mix. If you like spicy sandwich like typical Bombay sandwich from India..stay away from this…
Btws I looked at some pics and ordered this based on how it looked and it looked different so I asked the guy where the cheese on top? He replied oh that’s just for the pictures online…not cool man not cool. I wanted the cheese drizzle.
3. Veg noodles with Manchurian
Essentially description as title says haha.
My take….5/10…very salty(coming from my sister who adds salt to all foods who thought it was salty) and very oily. Instant stomach reflux inducer. Again mediocre taste. Medium spicy. Noodles were cooked. Small amount of veggies. Food was warm as expected.
4. Mysore masala Dosa
For those that don’t know, it’s a Savory crepe with special Mysore spice spread on it (medium to hot ) with mashed potatoes mix inside and tomato red chutney and coconut white chutney and sambhar.
My take….6/10….mediocre taste.
Dosa and mix inside was room temperature (not warm as expected) however it looked fresh. Taste was decent. It was not too salty or too spicy. If it was little more warm, it would’ve been better. Sambhar had a good taste and it was warm as expected. It was not too salty or spicy and had a good taste. Chutneys on side weren’t anything special.
Comparison made with nearby restaurants (NOT India or NJ or bigger cities which have MUCH better food quality… obviously.
Overall, food quality was mediocre. 6/10. Nothing special, but certain plates maybe unique to this restaurant in comparison to others nearby in Harrisburg area like pav bhaji.
Would I come back again? Yes. I’d like to try other plates, but frankly, these plates were very disappointing and I will likely never order them again from here (perhaps I hyped myself up from “honest” name from India).
Service was decent. Gentleman was nice. Order at front of store first then sit…pay when you leave. Credit cards accepted. Breath mint fennel seeds/saunff/mukhwas at entry.
Tables were spaced. Felt okay. We took off masks when food came. Waiters/staff didn’t wear masks just fyi if you care.
Btws they charge for water (understandable food prices went up a bit from Covid)
Enjoy.
