Please take us through your journey in serving the food industry.

Way back in 1966, Honest was started when my father set up a small chaat kiosk at Law Garden, Ahmedabad. Moving ahead with zest to provide quality food in a pocket-friendly segment, he and his brothers introduced paav bhaji and vegetable pulao to the kiosk. Since then, we have not looked back and have been setting up new benchmarks in the food sector. Moving with an ideology to keep people together and attain growth by making others grow, Honest has attained growth by firm grip on the food sector and has forayed into segments like street vending, mall restaurants (food courts), fine dining restaurant, three-star restaurant, travel dining restaurants (highways), railway stations, bistros and bakery.
