This guide covers everything about us: our food, our bakery, who we are for, practical visit information, and why thousands of guests across the Eastside keep coming back.

What Is Honest Restaurant?

Honest Restaurant is a pure vegetarian Indian street food restaurant in Bellevue, Washington. We are rooted in the street food culture of Ahmedabad — one of India's most celebrated food cities — and we have brought those recipes, unchanged, to the Pacific Northwest.

Our name says it all. We believe in honest food — real ingredients, real recipes, made fresh every single day. No shortcuts, no reheating, no compromise. Every dish that leaves our kitchen was cooked that day for the person ordering it.

We are located at 2241 148th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98007, right in the heart of the Eastside, with easy access from Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Bothell and Issaquah.

The Food — What We Serve

Our menu is built around Indian street food — the kind of food you find on roadside carts and at busy market corners across India. Bold flavours, humble ingredients, made with care.

—Pav Bhaji — Our Signature Dish

Pav Bhaji is the dish that started Honest's journey. Spiced mashed vegetables slow-cooked with butter, served hot with toasted buttered bread rolls. It sounds simple — and it is — but the depth of flavour in a well-made Pav Bhaji is extraordinary. Ours is made fresh throughout the day and served piping hot. It is fully vegetarian, fully eggless, and has been a bestseller since day one.

—Dosa & South Indian

Our Masala Dosa is one of the most ordered items — a crispy rice crepe filled with spiced potato masala, served with fresh sambar and coconut chutney. We also serve Plain Dosa, Dabang Dosa, Steam Idli, and Uttapam. All are vegan and gluten-free.

— Thali

For a complete Indian meal, our Thali is the answer — dal, two sabzi, roti, rice, papad, pickle, chutney and salad. Freshly prepared, generous in portion, and a true taste of home for the Indian community on the Eastside.

—Chaat & Street Snacks

Pani Puri, Sev Puri, Dahi Puri, Bhel Puri, Chole Bhature, Dabeli, Vada Pav, Samosa — our chaat and snack section is the heart of Indian street food. Every item is vegetarian, eggless, and made fresh.

—Indian-Chinese

We also serve a selection of Indian-Chinese fusion dishes — Vegetable Manchurian, Hakka Noodles, and Vegetable Fried Rice — a beloved cuisine that is huge in India and almost impossible to find authentically made in Washington state.

The Eggless Bakery

What sets Honest apart from almost every other restaurant in the Bellevue area is our full eggless bakery. Every baked item and sweet — without exception — is 100% eggless and vegetarian.

We offer cakes to order for birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations. Our ready cakes and pastries include Black Forest, Pineapple, and Rasmalai. We also carry cream rolls and aloo puffs daily. If you have been searching for an eggless bakery in Bellevue or Redmond, this is it.
