One of the top two Indian restaurants in Richmond! From starters to main course dishes – the taste of the food takes you right back to India. Best part – this is a 100% vegetarian restaurant.

Some dishes I’ve had and loved and would definitely recommend:

Choley bhatura – Hands down the best dish, the bhatura is so fluffy and the choley is so flavorful.

Pav Bhaji – This is very close to the Mumbai style pav Bhaji you know and love.

Dabangg Dosa – Has a lot of veggies, cheese and masala making it super yummy!

Dry Gobi Manchurian – Loved this, had a good indo Chinese flavor.

Some dishes I’ve tried and somewhat liked, but can be improved:
Dry Manchurian (did not like the flavor)
Samosa Chaat (very delicious, but has just one samosa 🙁 )
Chili Cheese Naan (more like a regular naan, not enough cheese)

One of the best Indian comfort food spots! Everything tastes fresh and flavorful, but their Manchow soup is a must-try — perfectly comforting and delicious. The pani puri is absolutely amazing, full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. A great place when you’re craving authentic Indian food. Will definitely be coming back again!

Dining at Honest Indian Vegetarian Restaurant is an experience I will remember fondly. From start to finish, everything about my visit exceeded expectations.

The restaurant immediately sets a welcoming tone with its clean, well-organized dining space and warm ambiance. The staff greets you with genuine hospitality, and their attentiveness makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Service is prompt, courteous, and professional, with team members ready to answer questions and provide thoughtful recommendations.

The food itself is exceptional. Honest stays true to its name by offering authentic Indian vegetarian cuisine prepared with care, precision, and integrity. Each dish reflects the vibrant flavors and traditions of Indian cooking while maintaining a freshness that highlights the quality of the ingredients. The spices are perfectly balanced, never overpowering, and each bite feels both comforting and memorable. From their classic street-food-inspired snacks to the hearty curries and breads, the menu offers something for everyone without compromising on taste or authenticity.

What impressed me most was the consistency. Every plate arrived beautifully presented, hot, and prepared with attention to detail. It is rare to find a restaurant that can deliver such a high level of quality across multiple dishes, but Honest accomplishes it with ease.

Overall, Honest Indian Vegetarian Restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it is a destination for anyone who values authentic flavors, excellent service, and a dining experience rooted in tradition. Whether you are a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or exploring it for the first time, you will find Honest to be both approachable and extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to returning many times.

We decided to go to this place as they offer a wide variety of options, especially Indian street food. The place feels like a typical Indian restaurant (in a good way) and the ambience is warm and welcoming.
The service was excellent, we didn’t have to wait long for any of the dishes.
As a party of two people we couldn’t order everything we wanted to but here is what we did:
Dahi puri: really liked it 5/5
Chhole Bhature: 3.5/5
Gobi Manchurian: 4/5
Paneer naan: 4/5
Cassata ice cream: 5/5

Everything was fresh and hot. We really liked the low key atmosphere here and would be visiting soon to try out more dishes.
Would definitely recommend it!

Ordered the Bahubali sandwich, which was absolutely superb. When I’m ever in the RVA area, I will be sure to come back and try other dishes.

I recently visited Honest in Richmond, Virginia, and while I must commend the ambience and food presentation, which were both excellent but the taste of the food was highly disappointing. I have previously visited their branches in Dallas and Troy, Michigan, and had an outstanding experience at both locations, where the flavors truly stood out. Unfortunately, this branch did not meet those same high standards.

I would like to appreciate the Telugu staff member who received us warmly and took the time to explain each dish in detail. Their service was excellent and made us feel welcomed. I hope the taste of the food can be improved to match the quality of service and the standards set by their other locations.
