We love it here!

A gorgeously decorated restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and fab menu!

The menu is vegetarian and vegan, but most vegetarian dishes can be veganised.

The portion sizes are large and the prices are really reasonable.

The dosas are huge and delicious and we really recommend the vegan thali!

Pros: Lots of choice , Friendly, Delicious!!!!

Fab food, fab atmosphere

Loads to choose from. The decor inside the restaurant is lovely.
Had lentil doughnuts to start and the thali for main. Both beautiful. Tried the banana starter too, light and delicious. Would definitely go back, there’s so much to choose from. Haven’t even started to work my way through the Dosa section of the menu yet... 5 stars for sure.

Pros: Vegan food clearly labelled , More choices than you can shake a stick at, Flavours and uniqueness

Cons: None

Amazing set meal

I go here about once a year with my parents, and it never disappoints. The set meal includes so many different types of curry, all of which are scrummy, as well as lovely breads. This year, I couldn't quite finish it all (there's a lot!) so I took it home and enjoyed it the next day too.

Pros: Amazing variety, Authentic Indian, Staff are good at knowing what is vegan

👍👍

Lovely restaurant , and really helpful staff , all vegan food is clearly labeled including wines, the food is out of this world , my non veggie friends like it as it just tastes so good, they have a business lunch deal till 5:00pm on a weekday which is great because you get to try a few small portions, and the Dosa's are great deffo recommended them. And food and drink I would say is very reasonably priced. 😊

Pros: Lots of vegan options ; even vegan dessert

My favourite Indian in England!

Amazing South Indian cuisine. SO SO TASTY! One of two places in the area that I would ever bother going for a curry. The staff are extremely friendly and remember me every time and the food itself outstanding. Good portion sizes, fair prices and the tahli always leaves me full and satisfied. A MUST GO. Highly recommend. The interiors and even cups / cutlery are also on point.

Pros: Loads of vegan options , Incredibly tasty food , Super friendly staff.

Eat here - it's awesome!

I went here for dinner tonight & had one of their signature dishes. This was a 3 course meal with soup starter, a thali main course & coconut rice desert.
The food was exceptional. The main course was huge - 8 separate dishes with bread & rice. All 3 courses for around £17! Wow!
The restaurant was clean & tidy with lovely decor & waterfall built into the wall.
The staff were all exceptionally attentative & polite. They couldn't have been more professional.
I wish we had somewhere so exceptional in London. I can't fault this place & I'm guessing others agree as I visited on a Wednesday evening & nearly every table in the restaurant was full by 8 o'clock. I'd come back to Leicester again just to eat here.

Pros: No meat or fish on the menu. , Loads of vegan options.

Cons: I honesty didn't see or experience any!

Fantastic tasty food

Delicious Keralan cuisine - huge range of dishes, all vegetarian and many are or can be vegan too. Their dosa are huge and filled with fantastic fillings and even the vegetable side dishes are perfection.

Delicately flavoured, comforting food.

Modern looking, spacious and nice decor. Excellent choice of vegan food and deserts alongside vegetarian options. Friendly staff give very good recommendations for which dishes to try. Was here on a trip and visited the restaurant twice as I enjoyed it so much. Will come again when I return to Leicester.

Pros: Really friendly staff who make you feel valued.

Really good food

Walked past this place so called in the next day for lunch. They do a lunch menu and two lunch deals which came with 3 curries, a side, rice and a dosa.
Food was really nice, the inside is very well decorated and it’s close to the train station. Really recommended.

Pros: Lots of options , Great lunch menu

Best curry in Leicester!

Herb is phenomenal. I’ve never had anything that I didn’t love. The kadala curry and the koonu curry are my favourites. The pooris are delicious and the rice is fragrant and flavourful. All veggie and loads of vegan options :)

Pros: All veggie and vegan , Lovely staff, Delicious

Great ambience - really well thought out interior and made it feel like a classy dining experience.

Fun to try things that you'd never heard of before.

Pros: Half the menu is vegan, All marked as vegan, Lots of options that you wouldn't normally try

Cons: Alcohol is still pricey, Didn't notice if there were any vegan naans

excellent food and service

Really interesting menu with super helpful and friendly staff who didn't need to be asked for information on the dishes and brought another dish to complement better one of our choices. It was lovely the food was from one region. I chose the Thali feast and that was huge. I liked everything. We discovered lots of things with only one dish which may be an acquired taste (nice but very different). Made me want to go to Kerala!

Best restaurant in Leicester?

This must be one of the best restaurants in Leicester, if not the best.

It is on Granby Street, very close to the rail station.

Don't confuse it with the Kayal (opposite). The 'Herb' is the better of the two, and it is all veggie/vegan.

You could tell the care that had been taken preparing each dish. Fresh ingredients combined with originality made each dish very tasty.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent service.

We will be back.

unexpected and great

We didn't know what to expect at first, but left loving it! Staff was super nice, well informed what was vegan (also says it on the menu) and even made a dish vegan especially for me. Prices are great and I loved the fluffy white bread which was vegan and the fresh mixed fruit juice! Would come again

Pros: all vegetarian, prices, vegan options,

so much choice!

Friendly and helpful staff, good quality food, many many vegan choices on menu (will take you a while to decide from the 80 items) across breads, rice, curry etc. They intend to add almond and soya milk to drinks menu soon too.

Pros: many vegan options, fresh juices, great service

Cons: only cows milk for drinks (so far)
