Herbs & Spices — Restaurant in Nagaland

Disappointing Experience at the NEW Herbs and Spices

Herbs and Spices used to be my favorite go-to restaurant in Dimapur, known for its excellent food, reasonable prices, and cozy ambiance. Unfortunately, since the change in ownership and chefs, it has gone downhill fast.

I recently visited the newly renovated restaurant, and my experience was nothing short of disappointing. Despite being the only customers there, our orders—two plain rice, chicken curry, and bacon wrapped in beans—took an unreasonably long time to arrive. After waiting 45 minutes, the plain rice turned out to be half-cooked, while the chicken curry was overcooked and nearly inedible. We tried to be patient, but after another 15-20 minutes, the bacon wrapped in beans was still nowhere to be seen.

The food quality was abysmal; we couldn’t even finish the rice and curry because of how poorly they were prepared. What’s even more baffling is that this delay and poor execution happened despite the restaurant being completely empty. If the kitchen struggles to handle two simple orders, it’s worrying to imagine what happens when the place is full.

The only positive aspect of the visit was the waitstaff. The two waiters were professional, patient, and understanding, and they truly deserve recognition for their efforts. However, their dedication is overshadowed by the lack of proper management and the incompetence of the kitchen staff.

I urge the new owner to take responsibility and hire professional chefs if they intend to run this restaurant successfully. Herbs and Spices has the potential to regain its former glory, but without serious improvements, it risks losing loyal patrons like...

Always a great dining at this restaurant. I have been going to this place since years and I really love almost everything about this place.❣️The staffs are very polite and also well disciplined. It will be 5/5 if they can improve the quality of indian breads alittle bit and also about the atmosphere i.e, it is alittle noisy since it is located just at the roadside. Otherwise, This is one of the finest dining restaurant in Dimapur💯 Today I had a great evening with my loved ones. Thank you Team H&S.

P.s, Dont forget to taste my personal favourite "Barbecue pork sizzlers" 🔥🔥🔥 It taste heaven❣️

Honest rating: FOOD- 4/5 SERVICE- 5/5 ATMOSPHERE -...

The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses. The menu is pricey but surely worth sampling. It also offers an appealing drink menu with different varieties of cocktails. Loved the interior. The service was very fast and handsdown impressive. They made certain that we had everything we needed. All the foods and drinks we ordered were exceptionally well done and delicious. Although, the Gimbap was a little too sweet for our taste but no complaints everyone has an off night now and again. Would definitely recommend their whiskey...
