Honest
Honest is a fast-casual restaurant concept focused on Indian street food dishes cooked to order, along with related menu items served in a traditional restaurant, cafeteria, or canteen-style setting. We serve customers looking for high-quality quick-service Indian food, including families, students, and business guests. Our restaurants offer food for dine-in, carry-out, delivery, and catering. We operate using a proprietary system and a range of trademarked products and menu elements that help deliver a consistent guest experience. We also use proprietary spices and other ingredients to support the flavors and recipes that define the Honest menu.
