We went to this place once at the old location and once more recently at the new location. This time work was still going on and it was really noisy and we had to ask them to stop for fear of getting a headache. The noise stopped after a good 15 mins. It was a warm day outside and since the place is on a covered terrace, the hot sunlight came streaming in and the fans were inadequate.
Now for the food. We first had a forgettable shrimp starter then ordered pork chops and a tortellini dish with clams (don't remember the exact description).
The pork chops were good but the tortellini was entirely different from what was described in the menu. The stuffing was completely different and there was no sign of any clams. I felt cheated and even though we complained about it, no one bothered to come over and apologise or rectify it.

Herbs and Spice is a lovely neighbourhood place in Indiranagar. The food is good, but still reasonably priced. It's run by two guys who seem to know what they're doing. Definitely worth a visit. Superb decor, as well!

THe person who runs it is also very friendly. Took my kid into the kitchen to show her how stuff is made. We go there regularly and food is consistently good. Pizza is among the best in bangalore if u like thin crust.

I loved my dinner at this place on a friday night. First of all, it;'s not very crowded and has a nice simple decor.. I loved teh white textured walls against the spartan furniture.
The first thing they serve you is a basket of assorted breads.. For main course, my boyfriend had fillet-o-fish on a base of mashed potato while I had the bacon lafelle (something like that). Both of the dishes were very tasty and the quantity was GOOD. They serve the dish along with some geen veggies on the side which makes the food rich in fibre as well.
My only grouse about this place is that they don't have printed menus. They write the menu on a big blackboard.. but most of it gets crammed and you are not able to read it easily so you end up relying on the judgement of your waiter..
In any case, this place is a must-go for people who want to spend under 300 bucks for a meal and get good value for money. They get my thumbs up!

First The location - since its not very easy to find with just the address: On 100 ft Rd. in Indranagar, travel north (towards the old madras rd.). After KFC and just before the Dominos pizza (which will be on your left side) you will see a little lane. Turn left into that lane and then take the 2nd right (which is the 7th cross) all the way to the T-junction. The restaurant will be on your right side.
Food: Pretty good. These guys know how to bring out the true Italian flavor (using olive oil, oregano and basil). I find that many of the other so-called italian restaurants don't really know what italian dining is about. I had the spinach and cheese ravioli in tamato-basil pesto. Came with a little salad and an assortment of good breads. I asked for a little butter as well (they gave me some shavings of butter ... I would have liked to have more but didn't want to be too pushy). I did see a display case of deserts but some of them didn't look fresh so I avoided desert.
Environment: Small and pretty plain, but clean. Not crowded at all during dinner time. If the environment was a little fancier, it would be ideal place to spend time with your date. Menu on chalk board could use better handwriting skills. There are about 15 entrees listed - about half of them veg).
Cost: All entrees range around Rs. 200 to Rs 250 (would give it a $$$ for cost rating). The portion sizes aren't sufficient for a large guy like me .. but it seems all Italian and other non-indian cuisine restaurants are guilty about this. More like a large snack rather than dinner (i.e., no burrps here).
