The thing which strikes most about Hondo's, is not only are the food selection great, but the prices and quantity are mind blowing.
Till now, I have ordered from Hondo's over 15 times, but still have never been to the restaurant in person. There are highs and lows of my experience with them, some of them I'll highlight
7th Feb 17 - First order. Pork Chops and Hen in the Blanket. Absolutely stunning. Succulent pork chops, with absolutely juicy fat content, and the hen in the blanket was very good too. The sausages were nicely coated with a light oily layer with cheese and the potato was delicious. Totally 5/5 experience.
Over the next few order, I've tried multiple items including Pork Ribs, Jacket Potato etc.
Sometime around late April 17 - I ordered Pork Chops (x2), Quarter Chicken, Hogged Chicken. by far the most disappointing order. The chops were really overdone and plastic-y, the bacon in the hogged chicken was too hard, and there was a queer smell from the quarter chicken. This was the first time I was introducing Hondo's to my parents, and it was just sad.
There has been 3-4 orders between this period, most of them were good, but on another occasion, I got Pork Ribs instead of the ordered Pork Chops, no big deal.
22nd May 2017 - Ordered the original hamburger with cheese and beef tenderloin steak, both for the first time. Oh god, the burger is just heavenly, has to be one of the best burgers I have had. Perfectly crispy patty on the outside, soft and fall apart insides, the sauce applied goes really well. The beef steak was pretty good, but somehow, the mashed potatoes provided surprised me. Surprisingly buttery and fluffy. Again a 5/5 experience.
25th May 2017 - Hunger strikes early morning. I wanted a burger, but it was missing from the order menu in Zomato, so I got a Non Veg Breakfast Platter. Perfectly cooked bacon, excellent eggs and crunchy hash browns. The onions were a little too peppery, but overall again a 5/5 experience.
This is just a small preview of my experience with Hondo's. All of them has been on delivery, so I don't know about their decor and hospitality as such.
I was curious to visit this culinary destination for a long time. Just happened to pamper my taste buds here after along aimless voyage. It was a busy affair at Hondo's that day with preparations for display of new menu and the gentleman at the far end corner of the restaurant, passionately coordinating everything.
Once, you step inside, the meticulously done amazing decor and the carefree ambience will take you to a multi culinary land!
Those cocktail sausages were so so so very delicious and mouthwatering.
I would just request the owners to make the seating arrangement in full operation only when it is spacious enough. Otherwise, the tiny space with the kitchen close and people sitting very close to each other might lead to an unfortunate incident.
A very cozy place to hang around with friends and loved ones. 24*7 hours open is a classic heart winner, definitely something like a life saver deal. A place that must be explored by food lovers and conti-lovers.
The ambience is comfortable and friendly, with coloured lights and music. If you are looking for a quality time with someone close and good food...You must reach Hondo's... just anytime !
