I read a glowing review of Herbs and Spices in a magazine (must have been paid for, I guess) and convinced a couple of my (very unwilling) friends to drive out all the way from North Bangalore to Whitefield. It took us two hours to reach there - the traffic at KR Puram was horrendous. The setting and ambience of the restaurant is lovely - an old farmhouse with gardens and a pool and ducks... but all the pleasantness disappeared when we sat down to eat.
Even on a Saturday afternoon, they didn't have some of the mocktails on their menu. We had to send back one of the starters as the chicken was tough and stringy (stale?). The main courses were ok - I liked my Vegetable Fajitas quite a bit - and it was also very filling.
Then came the desserts - again, they didn't have everything printed on the menu. The chocolate mousse was fine, but the lemon cheesecake was a complete disaster. It was melting (!!!???) and very sour - so we sent it back, and took another chocolate mousse, resulting in a chocolate overload.
Overall, a very disappointing experience, given that we had driven right across and out of the city. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they stay in Whitefield...

Wonderful place ... its located in a farmhouse away from the din of the concrete jungles of Whitefield.
The veggie fare is really yummy ... no complaints against any of the items in the menu.
Try the Dhaniya tomato shorba, makai tandoor for starters, mirch makai as a sidedish, yummy lassi/buttermilk ...
Am sure anyone visiting this place will simply fall in love with it - what a nice place to have a relaxed lunch/dinner

The Sunday breakfast that they've started is a good experience! It goes on until noon so you can laze in quite late! The spread is quite decent but is more of a breakfast than a brunch. But the ambience adds to the relaxed mood - the ducks, birds and makes it a perfect start to your Sunday! Worth a visit at 150 bucks !

We live 10 minutes away from Herbs & Spices and had never got round to going there, spending every Friday night fighting with the traffic to eat in the town centre instead. Fancying a more relaxing evening we thought we'd give this place a try, and were very pleasantly surprised.
It's well hidden off the main road and the main building itself is wonderful, all dark creaking wood staircases and interesting nooks and crannies, and we were given a private balcony overlooking the grounds. The food was excellent, we had the murgh methi and the murgh tikka and they went particularly well together, the low prices being an added bonus. They don't have a drinks licence, so bring your own wine, but that is the only drawback and as some restaurants only have a very limited wine list, it's probably better to be able to bring one of your own anyway. We shall be back!

I feel the restaurant is just in the category of wonderful.
I felt that staffs were too curteous and surronds were perfect.
Coming to the main point, I liked the food. Starting from that lassi to those Kashmiri Ghost masala, I feel the food was simply tasty and it was worth driving from Koramangala to Whitefield just to have good food.
