Sandwich platters and meal-deal fatigue set in fast for anyone eating lunch near the same desk five days a week. If you're looking for something that breaks up the week without eating into the whole lunch hour, it's worth knowing what's actually nearby.
The problem with the usual options
Most office lunch routines end up cycling through the same three or four places out of convenience rather than genuine preference. That's fine occasionally, but it's also exactly the kind of routine worth interrupting once in a while - a different cuisine, not just a different sandwich filling.
A business lunch built for exactly this
Herb Leicester runs a business lunch thali at £6.95, served Monday to Friday between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM - priced and timed specifically for a working lunch rather than a leisurely evening meal. It gives you a proper sit-down plate of several dishes rather than a single quick item, without requiring the two hours a full evening meal might.
Good for solo lunches and small teams
The dining room works for someone eating alone between meetings as easily as it does for a small team lunch. If you're bringing a larger group from the office, it's worth getting in touch in advance so we can arrange the right table - see our guide to group bookings for how that works.
Location
Herb is on Granby Street, a few minutes' walk from Leicester railway station and the surrounding business district - close enough to fit into a lunch hour without cutting it too fine. See our parking guide if you're driving in rather than walking.
What to order
The business lunch thali itself is the obvious starting point - it's built for exactly this occasion. If you want something quicker still, a dosa is fast to serve and easy to eat without lingering over it.
