308 Painted Post Dr, Scarborough, ON M1G 2M3, Canada
Indian Street Food Restaurant
We tried 3 dishes, dosa was below average, noodle were good flavor and the vegetable sandwich was good with a home made feel. But the portions are small according to the price they are charging. I would expect bigger portion if we are paying $13 for a dish not a small bowl of noodles.
Today I placed the order for Idli takeout. Found 3 tiny idlies !!! Are you kidding , Owner of Honest ? Don’t spoil the name of HONEST restaurant. People trust you. Worst ever the size as well as quality of Idlies with High cost of it. I would like everyone Don’t order Idlies from this HONEST RESTAURANT. Really disappointed.!!
This is my second review and it’s genuine. Owner has managed to remove the review so I had to post it again. And now I am going to take next step as I think owner doesn’t care about what he/she has done by removing this review and not responding back as well. I visited this place on 9th November 2024 and never imagined this place could be unhygienic. I always loved having food from here not only that I have ordered catering few days ago but was not aware of unhygienic food. Firstly I wanted to share experience of staff they never give attention to the people seating waiting for someone to come even if they are not busy very poor service we still like to go there because of the taste of food I ignored service. But this time it was something else and I couldn’t stop myself to give review about food that I ordered and found out insect from Pulav. When I told about it and showed to one of the staff member she said should I bring something else instead 😀I mean just to hide their mistake they are trying compassionate me with food. I could go beyond review but I understand the consequences of it. Kitchen staff should know the seriousness of it and owner please keep eye on your staff. You are loosing genuine customers by not taking action.
Fenil and Preet were very courteous even around the closing time to make sure we had an amazing experience. Great food and great people.
The food and service were both satisfactory, but I rated it 4 stars because of the atmosphere. When we entered the restaurant, there was an unpleasant smell of chlorine. The ambiance was not particularly appealing, although it was not entirely unpleasant. The food was good and there were many options to choose from. Please use some other product for cleaning.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Honest Restaurant in Scarborough, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The restaurant’s interior is simple and unpretentious, which creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the super-friendly and welcoming staff, who made me feel right at home. Their attentiveness and genuine warmth added a special touch to the dining experience, making it memorable. The highlight of my visit, undoubtedly, was the food. Honest Restaurant offers a variety of delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy any palate. I would particularly recommend the following: - Honest Special Bhaji-Pav : This dish is a must-try. The pav is perfectly soft, and the bhaji is rich and flavorful. - Honest-Special Pulao : A delightful blend of spices and ingredients, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. - Indian Style Bhakri Pizza : A unique fusion dish that brings together the best of Indian and Italian cuisines. The crispy bhakri base topped with a medley of flavors is simply irresistible. - Bahubali Sandwich : This is not just a sandwich, but an experience. Generous in size and loaded with delicious fillings, it's perfect for those with a big appetite. - Chhole-Bhature : The bhature is perfectly fluffy, and the chhole is seasoned to perfection, making this a classic favorite. - Mysore Dosa : A crisp dosa with a spicy twist, paired with their tempting sambhar, is an absolute treat. For those looking for a complete meal, the Punjabi Thali for lunch and dinner offers a great selection of traditional dishes that showcase the rich flavors of Punjabi cuisine. Additionally, Honest Restaurant caters to specific dietary preferences with Jain and Swaminarayan options available for most items on their menu, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a delicious meal tailored to their needs.
Amazing indian-chinese dishes with ample seating space during peak hours. The service was very good as well. Prices seemed slightly more than market value. But definitely worth a visit
This restaurant was amazing! My experience was awesome. We ordered Indian food which tasted great and the overall vibe of the restaurant was enjoyable. The staff were very kind especially a girl named “Vishwa”. She was very friendly and cooperative. There were Bollywood songs in the background which made me feel like I was in India. I definitely recommend people to visit this place at least once!
I ordered smosa chat, its not good in taste even not fresh.
Vegetarian options: Great food options, quite environment and excellent service. Food
We recently hosted a party and I couldn t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, each food was amazing which make our event truly memorable. The food was absolutely exceptional every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The menu offered a great variety to suit everyone s tastes. Thank you, Honest, for making our event a success! Highly recommend. Vishva was the best to help out and plan out until the last day.
Amazing customer service. Food was good .good veggie spot
Amazing food
Ordered vegetable pulao and veg noodles. Both were oily, we couldn t complete it. Honestly it s not worth it. Food : 1/5
Amazing food! And quantity is great! Definitely will comeback.
Amazing service and Food. Will definitely come here again Food
Consistently good
I like coming here.
Great service and food
I ordered buy one get one from Uber but they just sent me 1 plate chole bhature, its literally fraud. I order stuff and if say to change something or add a note to do something its a waste they dont care what comes in Uber . Its a fraud restaurant. Nothing honest about this. My 22$ was a waste Edit- they replied that theyve checked that I ordered just 1 chole bhature, 1. The order of name is different from the id I am writing review, these guys must be in some kinda private inventory agencies. 2. I can send the screenshot of my Uber order and pics for what I received and also the condition of bhature . 3. You guys cant help I can send n number of orders and a request to add napkins ... U guys cant even fulfill that. I had to order sometimes just coz its nearest. 4. Learn to accept the mistakes.
Worst experience ever, poor quality , no respect, greedy people, .
We were there for the first time and the experience was too bad Bad customer service we had hair in rice and we wanted to exchange it for one paratha but they refused to do so Not recommend at all
I recently ordered from this restaurant and i had an incredibly disappointing experience. The food quality was terrible it was bland, overcooked, and seemed like it had been sitting out for hours before being sent out for delivery. The portion sizes were shockingly small, especially considering the price I paid. To make matters worse, the delivery time was far longer than expected. I was given an estimated arrival window, but my order showed up nearly 1 hour late, and when it did arrive, it was cold. I was hoping for a better experience, but unfortunately, I won t be ordering from here again. Total letdown all around. I ordered smosa chaat but unfortunately there is no smosa in chaat as you can see.
Terrible experience, worst service. They don t even change the status of the food thats not available. And after that they call the person to replace the item with another one. If someone from restaurant management is checking this review, please update your food availability in the delivery apps so one would not have to suffer because of your irresponsible behaviour.
Amazing food and customer service by Preet. The owner should give him a raise for up-sale. Will visit again
Mysore masala dhosha was really best , also bhaji pav ....it was all yum , also the staff was very friendly , especially zarna she was so sweet
Thanks to Vishwa for serving us. Great food once again.
We had a nice experience 10/10
Food was okayish but service was great
Great food..so tasty just like Mumbai! Amazing service by Preet Food
Vishwa service was great.
Today I came with my 10 friends at honest Restaurant for their unlimited lunch. The food was simply outstanding-each dish was packed with authentic, mouthwatering flavors. The Pav Bhaji was perfectly spiced , the Manchurian had just the right taste, and the , and sevpuri was so satisfying. What really stood out, though, was the amazing service we received from Vishwa. From the moment we walked in,she made us feel welcome and ensured everything was just right. Vishwas attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly elevated our experience-they didnt miss a beat! If youre craving great food and top-notch service, Honest Restaurant is the place to be. Highly recommend it.
Vishwa provided excellent service, the food was amazing as always!!!
Amazing food
Great tasting food. As close to home as it can possibly get.
The food and service is amazing
Food was good. Service was the best part. Preet was really good. Will definitely come back. Food : 4/5
Food was amazing! And Preet provided amazing customer service. Highly recommend their pav bhaji and dosa Food : 5/5
Had the Katappa sandwich. They have amazing jain options. Ordered masala jain pav bhaji as well.
I had dinner today night all food are good and staff are friendly
Best bakhri pizza
Great food and chat. Loved the masala chhaas
Finally honest in Scarborough love the food.. Dabang dosa was good.. Hakka noodles need some changes..sev puri was really good. They updated taste after I guess lot of complaints. And jow its really worth to try.
Ive tried their pani puri and I was disappointed in the taste. I would recommend their Aloo Parantha, its could. Overall, I think they should work on their food quality and taste.
Ridiculous!!! My baby was crying and we had to leave. Asked one of the cashier to take our payment we need to leave!! They took so long my wife had to leave alone. Never coming back. Also, the food tastes like trash!!
Recent experience. Ordered Punjabi thali and the sabzi (paneer) was spoiled. I did not expect this to happen after spending $50 + on my order. I wish I could get a refund or credit.
Ten staffs are working in the kitchen. But still they are not able to deliver the food on time. Worst staffs. They were very rude. 5 or Ten minutes delay is fine. But after I reached there I was told it will take 20 minutes. But it went more than 30 minutes and gave me food. It is one of the Worst Restaurant. They are not organize. If I know the telephone no or email of Gupta owner of the retaurant, will send my grivances.
I just ordered the regular Pav bhaji from this restaurant via uber eats, and the food here sucks. I ordered some extra pair of pav and all the buns were burnt and they were hard as rock. Additionally, the bhaji also tasted a bit odd than usual, very dissatisfied never going to order from here again!
Food is absolutely heaven! we ordered cheese Pav bhaji, cheese tava pulav and dabang dosa and all very amazing. Only point is it s bit less in quantity compared to other honest we ve been too, else food is great! Service was nice, the lady was lovely to talk to. I would highly recommend this place to desi fast food lovers :)
We ordered Paneer Lababdar at the restaurant the main course was just too watery and there were so less paneer inside it. There was a staff with specs who behaved so improperly and in a rude manner and was answering that this is our regular recipe and we cannot do anything on it. Worst experience ever. The behavior of the person was just terrible and rude.
Paneer lababdar was scrumptious
I had an amazing experience at Honest Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, Fenil and Preet made us feel so welcome and took care of every detail to make our meal enjoyable. The food was absolutely incredible, and I have to mention the Paneer Lababdar specifically wow! I m typically not a fan of paneer dishes and usually avoid ordering sabji and roti at restaurants because of the overuse of masalas, especially when they add too much cardamom and clove. But this dish completely changed my mind! It was perfectly spiced without the overwhelming flavors that some places use, letting the ingredients really shine. The roti was fresh, soft, and complemented the paneer perfectly. I genuinely felt like I was eating homemade food, which is rare for dining out. Honest Restaurant has definitely set a new standard for me when it comes to Indian cuisine, and Im already looking forward to my next visit. I only wish they offered a tiffin service for people like me who crave this quality of food but dont have the time to prepare it ourselves. If youre looking for a place with excellent food and service, you wont be disappointed here! Highly recommended!
It was a pleasure dining at Honest. We tried the Katappa Sandwich and Pav Bhaji, and both were absolutely delicious. The customer service by Vishwa was outstanding-she was quick, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend for tasty food and exceptional service
Amazing
It s one of the best restaurant for Indian restaurant with great service awesome food
Great service, n great food. Love the vibe of place. Highly recommend for vegetarians
Thank you for providing tasty and yummy food. Big shout out to zarna for awesome service.
I ordered catering from them. And quite literally my party was hit because of food from here. It was amazing. Literally every one in my event asked me for the caterer.
Review: I recently dined at this restaurant and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a soup, which seemed fine at the time, but shortly after reaching home, I started experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea. The food quality was clearly lacking, and it left me feeling unwell . This was a very bad experience, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable meal. It s disappointing to see such low standards in food quality. Definitely would not return here.
Excellent Service Gurleen
Gurleen served us food so nicely
The food, service, taste, atmosphere and the staff everything was just so perfect and amazing.
The server was very great. The food tasted just like back home. Best place in GTA for Indian food. Had an actual sandwich after a long time.
We enjoyed delicious snacks and the service provided by gullrit was excellent.
Gurleen was wonderful so friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was just as amazing, especially the Kattapwa sandwich! Fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Overall, a great experience at Honest - a True Bite!!
Food and service was too good
Good food and amazing dine in experience. Staff was very polite especially Preet who helped me with my diet restrictions and suggested me dishes.
Gurleen served us very promptly with our order and their whole team is very helpful. Must visit with family for a good time
Good food
Good food and great service . Thank you Vishwa.
Food was delicious , vishwa (server) was amazing. Really appreciate her service. Must visit honest Scarborough.
Amazing food. Must try.
Very good service. Vishwa was amazing. Service was very fast and friendly. Veqelcoming Parking: Very convenient parking during day time
Gurleen was really nice! The dabang dosa and samosa chaat was really good!
The food has always been great as is, Gurleen was very kind and helpful throughout the service!
Good tasty food and friendly staff

Must visit try their all you can eat menu its literally delicious and purvi served us soo well!!
Amazing service by the staff excellent food. Really enjoyed the stuff .
Amazing food and service. Really enjoyed their Katappa sandwich and Mumbai meri jaan chat platter.
The worst food. The quantity was too less. Rice was uncooked. Noodles was not better. My money got wasted. I shouldnt be negative, but it is my honest opinion on honest restaurant.
They have improved their quality a lot from previous visit of mine. Good service as well!
Vegetarian options: Chole bhatura Food
Good
We came today for dine-in and takeout. We ordered Hakka noodles and manchurian platter. The food is really bad. The noodles were stale and smelling. It was really disgusting. And Taruna was not helpful at all over the call so we had to go again and ask for a refund. Our mother came to visit us from India today, and we chose this place for a little treat for her. It was disappointing.
I Had ordered the Dry Gobi Manchuria and Fries, There was no Gobi pieces in it and inside the order everything was soggy and wet nothing like the order we expected to place, Very much disappointed. Please look at the picture for reference.
Food was good, service was good the girl Gurleen she was sweet and very help even with our extra requests.
Gurpreet is amazing, good food and service
Pav bhaji and dosa was good but thali is too oily
Not want to cooperate, staff is rude , we went mid night but service is very bad, not understand personal situation, will not recommend anyone
Horrible customer service. Overrated restaurant and it s food.
Worst food no quality tasteless. Worst service
I ordered manchurian noodles. There were just 2 manchurian in it for which they charge (4 dollars-only manchurian balls 2 ) Please dont order from here. Quantity was very less. Food
Excellent service by Vishwa & the food was delicious
We dined in for lunch. This is our first time here. We had the Pani Puri appetizer, kattappa sandwiches and Dabang dosa. We would recommend these dishes. Filling and just the right blend of spices and sauces. We would return here again!
Tatsy food nd good service
Orders dahipoori and bhakri pizza. Both tasted horrific. Not the first time disappointed so left review.
Good option for Indian food
Best Food
Food was not tasty at all. Overall I will not recommend ordering this platter at all.
No doubt that their food is good.But I ordered chilli garlic noodles a couple times and noticed their quantity was no good at all.paid $16 for good serve not for one u guys gave improve it
Vegetarian options: Must try Parking: Scarborough Food : 5/5 |
Everything good! Satisfied.. Food
Ordered 3 different curries, tasted all same and all were over salted. Cant suggest to go there, especially for Panjabi food. Recommended dishes
Nice & friendly environment, specially thanks for the girl, who helped us..food was amazing as I had in back home..
Great service - vishwa
Bland food. Too greasy and full of cheese. The flavor is missing. Even vada pav is double fried, but ended up being cold by the time we received it. Do not recommend.
Vadapav, pav bhaji is the best. They don t have chai all the time which is little disappointing. Vegetarian options: Full menu is vegetarian
Pav bhaji was really good. We also enjoyed the masala papad and dosa.
Staff here make the experience worth visiting. I would like to highlight Fenil and Gurleen as great employees, they are constantly on their toes and made sure the service was fast and accurate. The food itself is very tasty with authentic Indian taste. I often visit Scarborough from the US, I tried this Honest for first time last week, was skeptical regarding the taste before entering but have been eating here almost everynight since last week with my cousins and uncle. I would like to keep coming back whenever I visit again. Just a suggestion that chinese puff doesnt consist of noodles, the mava is made of schezwan chutney, should taste like paneer chilli almost but overall Bhaji pav, aaloo matter sandwich, paneer chilli, veg puff, mysore masala dosa, dabeli and vada pav are delicious. This price is fair. Again, I would like to suggest a pay raise to Gurleen and Fenil, very cooperative, happy faces.
Very nice food. Taste and quality of food is very good. Amazing and friendly service provided by Purvi. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and Swaminarayan options are available easily.
Overall is good like bhaji pav is awesome but I didn t like puff and their special dabang dosa I will not suggest to try but chhole and bhaji pav .. staff is also friendly
Guys, I asked for samosa chat not chilli chat. Literally I Cant able to finish... Its soooooo spicy. Beside everything its good. But cant handle this much chilli
Good food. Great staff. Amazing experience.
Food was ohkish but service is very bad now we just order one vadapav and samosa and they took half hour for that very slow.
Yeah had a lot of lunch,brunch,snacks, and dinner here before, and for a year atleast, but the taste and quantity before is much more different and low quality than now, to be honest, Honest has been a restro that primarily provided a better quality than other Indian restro but now when they have gained much fame, they have received worst reviews and, food as well is not so good, here is share other restros, Karnavati, and others have taste we want to have every or other weekends for dinner and lunch, plz avoid/ ignore Honest nowadays, worst food, worst experience. Sorry Honest, but this is what it is. Thank you
I ordered Chana bhatura for dine in and the Chana was half cooked and it tasted stale. I was surprised to see such a low quality for a Honest restaurant. The sandwich and noodles were okay.
Nice food but service is not fast
Very Good Service and food
It was great dining at Honest. We came in for lunch and The food was amazing! We had katappa sandwich, pav bhaji and mango lassi. It taste was soo good! we were greeted by this sweet girl Vishwa. She is extremely polite and professional. Vishwa made sure we dont have to wait for our food for long and provided great customer service.
had an exceptional experience, not only because of the delicious food but also due to the excellent service provided by our server, Vishva.
We had a delightful experience dining at Honest today. We ordered paneer labadar and dabang dosa it was superb in taste. Great customer service by Vishwa!
Food is amazing, service is at its best too, vishwa named girl served us she was polite and kind too, A must go to place
Chola bature was fresh and so authentic. Visha served the best way she can.
Good food, pleasant service, nice place to dine out with family and friends. Shout out to our hostess, Vishva. Shes warm, friendly, and pleasant person to deal with and ensured we were taken care of during our dine-in.
Reminded me of my mum s handmade bhature Made my day
The food is the worst. The owners are really cheap. And the place is the worst. I would ve have given them in negative if i could
Restaurant with good taste. Zarana provided great customer service. Highly recommend this place for family visits and friends. Food : 5/5
Had a great family time and thanks to Vishwa and her co-workers for service delicious food. Thanks a lot guys
Food was really good and great service by Vishwa
Great service, excellent food and atmosphere. The server -Vishwa took great care. I would highly recommend my friends to visit Honest.
The quality of the food was highly disappointing. It lacked proper seasoning, and the portion sizes were quite limited. Additionally, the pricing was excessively high given the overall experience. I would recommend considering other options that offer better value and quality.
Had paw bhaji , noodles burger and chinese bhel. Although chinese bhel is one of their top selling dish . Its was not that good . I only liked noodles burger which was also cold had to ask them to heat it a little in microvawe.
Amazing pav bhaji and server Vishwa was very pleasant and sweet to talk with
If you are looking for good Jain food come to Honest. Our sever Vishwa was very friendly and quick with our order. The food was very delicious. Will definitely come back.
The food was great, and service was very quick, thanks for the experience! Purvie did a great job.
very very bad experience- we went 3 times and all 3 times had a very bad experience- the first time there was a fly in the sandwich, they did clear the whole bill which was much appreciated- the second time i went i told them i am highly allergic to gluten and they specifically told me that their bakri pizza is gluten free and i ordered it and the third time we went i asked them again and the waitress said no its not gluten free and we were shocked. very very bad experience.
Food quality at this location has been dropped. At my last visit, pav bhaji was watery. Tasted weird and ate as much as possible because money does not grow on the bush. Definitely not visiting again.
A good place for long weekend dinner on Saturday. Located on a very convenient, quiet bur very accessible place with ample parking. Very nice & bright restaurant with small patio. Wasnt very crowded & saw many take outs being done. The decor is nice with different coloured chairs. The food is very nice and is served with awesome smiles. Our host was Vishva who gave us good advice on options as we had some restrictions on ingredients. Prices are very reasonable. Best wishes to Vishva and the Honest team.
Neat& clean place to taste / dine Indian foods. Vegetarian options: Punjabi thali, vegetables polav,pav bhaji,dosa. Food : 5/5 |
Super disappointed. First visit to the Scarborough brand. Dahi puri had mediocre awakened testing dahi. Chinese Bhel was tasteless. Pav Bhajji was below average comparing to I have had it at other branches in the US. After 30 mins of placing the order of Chole Bhatura, the server came back with we ran out of it . Guess, it was a blessing in disguise.
The honest is just a name here, they don t have extra cutleries so don t ask for it. Additionally, waiting period was too long almost 1 hr for soup at afternoon hours. When we asked for food of our choice, they told us we have Chinese ready and anything except it took longer than usual. The panjabi Curry was too sweet. The worst experience ever. Not suggested for lunch or dinner.
Tasteless and too oily tbh its not worth it.
We came today to eat, we re regulars, but the food was by far low quality today. It was cold and uncooked. The waiter spoke so low we couldn t understand anything that he said. And to make it worse, the music was so loud we couldn t even talk to each other. Was the worst experience, we re so disappointed .
Food is good but restaurant could have been better looking and clean...It needs to be clean
The wait time for getting your order is just crazy For a small order 45-50 mins is too much . Food
The food was not fresh. Nor did it live up to the taste of Honest. The service was non existent - no one cared to check up on us (large family table). All the food took almost 30 mins to come. Don t bother to get the pani puri either.
Today I have dined in and had amazing bhakhari pizza served by Vishwa, great experience.
Food was amazing. Authentic indian food. Our server Gurleen was very friendly and was really help full.
Came here last night. Ordered mancurian gravy any Szechwan chilli garlic noodles Gravy was tasteless no salt or spice in it snd was very runny its supposed to be thick gravy also noodles were cold and dry definitely taste told that it was stale Staff was very lazy and tired and was not welcoming at all to customers
Great food, great service. Best Indian food in the town.
If I could give -Stars to food quality and taste I would give. It started as good food serving restaurant, but lately the quality and taste has dropped considerably. Front staff and even the owner/ Manager Mr. Jaimin not ready to accept comments or reviews about the food, rather blames customers for complaining or having views. After few times of dissatisfaction, When I complained, the owner was very rude and not Ready to refund and in fact, made fun of customer (i,e., Me and my husband) about the Complain we made. He was not even concerned that Intended to report this to Canada food safety department under quality issue. *** Please do not go***
They are charging 10% more when there are more than 8 people. This just isnt fair
Very nice service by zarna, food was also very delicious . Thankyou
Excellent food and excellent customer service by Fenil
The food here is one of the most authentic Indian street food. The staff is friendly. The Chaat is awesome! The Tawa pulao is good as well.
Vishwa was a really good host, Thanks for the service
The food was as tasty as I had in my home city, Vadodara !! Good service and good ambiance
Quantity and quality are very good
Don t try here, I have known workers personally and they donee even take bath daily, can t even imagine about the hygiene!! Avoid eating here!!
