Herb — Restaurant in Great Britain

I am putting a new review on. I previously left an excellent review when we visited before (see below). Today I took my wife there again for another Valentine's meal but the experience was completely different. We went in and chose a small table near the window to get some daylight. An unfriendly waitress came along and asked if we were a party of four, when clearly we were only two. She looked very put out by having to take the extra cutlery away. She put the menus on the table without saying anything and then proceeded to ignore us. We tried to catch her attention several times but she didn't make any eye contact even though there were few customers and she did not appear to be doing anything. We decided to leave after being ignored for ten minutes. She came rushing over when she saw that we were putting on our coats again. We explained to her male colleagues outside why we were going and they apologised and appeared genuinely embarrassed and tried to persuade us to come back in. Unfortunately the damage was already done and we just wanted to leave, all down to one rude individual. Why work in a place where you don't like customers????? We bought a much simpler meal elsewhere for a fraction of what we would paid in Herb and ended up having a pleasant afternoon despite theunp unpleasant start.

took my wife here for an afternoon's Valentine's meal. We were charged approximately £25 each for an non-alcoholic beer, a vegetable Korma with rice, a crepe and ice cream and a Masala tea, which we considered good value. All the food is vegetarian with some specifically vegan options. The quality of the meal was excellent. It was light, but filling, and did not leave us feeling over-full. The staff were helpful and friendly, without being intrusive. The decor was bright and eclectic. There was a mural of the Last Supper, giving a nod to Kerala's ancient Christian heritage. There was also a recognition of Kerala's Jewish influences in the menu. There was a motorbike encased in the fabric of the restaurant. In fact, there was a little of everything to cater for everybody, apart from voracious carnivores. It was a very pleasant experience that I would not hesitate to...

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Herb, the Indian vegetarian restaurant located in Leicester, close to the city center and train station. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality.

The ambiance was inviting and cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The menu was a treasure trove of delectable vegetarian dishes, offering a wide range of flavors and options to suit every palate.

I was particularly impressed with the quality of the ingredients used in each dish. The flavors were vibrant, and the presentation was nothing short of artistry. Their use of fresh herbs and spices truly elevated the dining experience.

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, and each one was a revelation of taste. The Paneer Tikka was grilled to perfection, and the Aloo Gobi was a comforting explosion of flavors. Their signature herb-infused sauces were a highlight, adding a unique twist to traditional Indian cuisine.

The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations.

Herb is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey through the rich and diverse world of Indian vegetarian cuisine. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply appreciate great food, Herb is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their mouthwatering dishes. This restaurant truly deserves all the praise it receives, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience...

A bit disappointed with Herb and that's why. I'll start first with hygiene: I found no problems with hygiene at Herb. Everything seemed clean and well maintained.

Food and Taste: this is the major part where my disappointment originated. The food tasted lower than average. I ordered a variety of vegetarian and vegan food to try out the taste. The only thing that I liked was the bread and the rice.

Prices: this is the second source of disappointment. I ordered a dish that contains many side dishes. I expected that the price was fair but when I saw the portions; it was not. I ended up paying 32 pounds for the meal (see pictures) and two drinks. That was a lot.

Atmosphere: I liked the place especially the little doors with the mirror next to the tables on the left side of the restaurant. It felt cozy and the Indian flute music was very relaxing. However, I didn't appreciate the fact that the place was overloaded by lightbulbs. Yet, the designer covered that with the dim lighting in the restaurant which I really appreciated and adored.

Service: the staff was very polite, smiling and professional. This is why I gave three stars. If only the food was good, I would have given them four and half stars which I rarely give. All in all, pleasant atmosphere and service, not that much tasty food and a...
