Herb Restaurant Menu Guide: What to Order for Lunch & Dinner

Our full menu lives as a downloadable PDF, which is great for browsing on your phone before you visit but not much use if you're trying to search for a specific dish. Here's what's actually on it, in plain text.

Lunch

Lunch is served from opening at both branches and leans towards dishes that are quick to serve without feeling rushed:

• Dosa – a crisp, fermented rice-and-lentil crepe, served with sambar and chutney.
• Uttapam – a thicker, softer rice pancake, closer to a savoury pancake than a crepe.
• Business lunch thali – £6.95 at the Leicester restaurant, Monday to Friday, 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, a set way to try several dishes in one sitting without a long wait.

Dinner

Dinner covers the fuller menu, with more time to work through a wider spread:

• Kerala thali – rice, sambar, a few vegetable curries, pickle, papadum and a sweet, served together.
• Coconut-based curries – built on coconut milk rather than cream, tempered with curry leaves and mustard seed.
• A wider range of dosa varieties – including masala, paper and rava dosa alongside the classic.

Dietary notes

The entire menu at both branches is vegetarian, and the majority of dishes are vegan or can be made vegan on request. A lot of the menu is also naturally gluten-free, since it's built on rice and lentils rather than wheat – see our gluten-free dining guide for specifics.

Same menu, two locations

Both Herb Leicester and Herb Leamington Spa serve the same core Kerala menu, with slightly different opening hours between the two branches.
