Or is it OK Horn Please? Or Horn Please OK? An enticing looking new Indian place on Newark Avenue in Jersey City (known as Little India).
According to Wikipedia "Horn OK Please" is a phrase commonly painted on vehicles in India. This is spotted almost without exception on commercial vehicles like trucks, buses or local taxis.
The purpose of the phrase is to alert a driver of a vehicle approaching from behind to sound his/her horn in case they wish to overtake. Fascinating! And tons of cool Horn OK Please signage to be found, apparently!

I wiki'd that name after I saw it, it's a cute sort of homesick name for a restaurant. Did you ever stop and eat there?
Finally, a website devoted to Indian street painters...including those buses!
