Looks tiny from the outside but there is a lot of seating space as you enter. It was a Wednesday evening when we went and I'd say half the restaurant was full, which is a good sign given that it is located on a prime spot in the city centre alongside plenty of other restaurants. The food was a tad bland but presentation and the general taste were good.
We also ordered a mango lassi which was nice.
The thali was ok.. I would recommend trying that if you are unsure of which curries to order but if you can make a decision I'd just go with the separate ones as we only really enjoyed about half of the curries given to us in our thali.
The spinach dosa was a slightly different taste to your usual masala dosa worth trying at least once. The only thing about this place is the staff don't recommend any dishes even when you ask their opinion several times! "Everything is nice" which kinda doesn't help narrow it down but fair okay to them!
Really nice Restaurant wir lovely Interieur. Very helpful fast Service. The Dinner was Great. Starting wir tulsi tea, First salad wirh mango, lettuce and much more with lemon Dressing. Main dish was with Coconut, different Vegetables. Perfect herb mix. Really Great.
Not only for vegan or vegetarian.
Wow. What a wonderful, authentic restaurant. The staff were so lovely and the food was excellent. We would highly recommend the Koonu curry and the papaya stew. We came for my husband’s birthday dinner as it is the first time visiting Leicester and we were not disappointed. Well done all at Herb Leicester. Amazing place to eat.

Beautiful ambience, Friendly staff & good food. It's a nice place to visit & experience authentic Kerala food. Sometimes it's busy so better to call in advance and book a table if you don't want to wait. Staff will frequently come and ask is everything okay, it's Indian hospitality. Please don't feel differently about it. I like the way they do it. In some restaurants, we have to wave our hand too many times. But here they will come and ask you. It's a collective service here. It means you may have all the staff come to your table in different times while they are serving others.
Special as it get....special thali was well presented. The soup for the starters got the taste buds tingling. Then comes the utterly nuts thali....wow. I don't know how I finished it all. Excellent. Authentic flavours and just right with the spice levels. Pictures say it all.
Lovely waiting staff. Gorgeous decor and ambience. The soups are fragrant, with an exacting balance of heat and flavour. These guys are certainly feeders. The level of food for the cost is fantastic. I tried many dishes I had not had before by ordering the Thali. The mushroom, cauliflower, and aubergine curries were my favourite. I am a meat eater and I have eaten at their sister restaurant (The Kayal). Both restaurants are of a high standard. Herb is definitely worth the visit even if you are a meateater. I probably do prefer The Kayal, but mainly because their fish curries are so amazing.
Delicious vegetarian South Indian Keralan dishes. Special thali is a treat! Staff is lovely and attentive. Good value for your money, too.
Third time here. Food is great. Staff is incredibly friendly. Atmosphere is very good. I tried a few dishes here. All were good but spinach dosa and briyani are awesome. You don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy these dishes.
This is one place in leicester where once youve been here you wil go again and again why as there moto says," atthithi devo bhavah". This restaurant has amazing food, portions are huge. Staff is so humble and polite, the atmosphere is just magic. Plenty of parking around the corner from the restaurant. You HAVE to try them.
Traditional South Indian Pure Vegetarian Restaurant. Serving the best tasty idli, dosa, Utapam and thali. Very reasonable in price to dine out. Lots of choices on the menu. Great atmosphere with attentive service. Lunch time menu is so cheap to dine in for a thali.
Drove up to Leicester to visit Herb just for their dosa and the drive was worth it. On arrival, we were greeted at the door and shown to a table. Moments later, a waiter came and took us the menus. As a vegetarian restaurant, they had a wide selection of food, as much as I’d love to try everything on the menu, the portions are large so you’ll definitely be stuffed after one dish.
We ordered the idli as starters and went for dosa for mains. The Idlis were good size, I would have like to have a bit more samba but it was delicious. As a massive fan of paneer, I went for the paneer dosa and my girlfriend went for the masala dosa, we both struggled to finish lol. I would have liked a bit more spice but I understand not everyone likes spice but never the less, they were amazing.
As it’s Dosa fest, all dosas are £4.95, I’m not sure how long the offer is on for.
Absolutely delicious food in beautiful, relaxed surroundings. Visited today for the thalis and we were blown away by the portion sizes and high quality. There's something for everyone, from simple budget lunches to really lavish celebration meals. Lovely service, too.
