Herbs and Spices
A Continental Cuisine in Indiranagar

After listening to incessant ravings, I decided to hunt down Herbs and Spices - a small restaurant tucked away in a quite residential corner of Indranagar a little off CMH Road. The first time around you’ll find it difficult to spot the place but once you have been there you’ll be hooked. This is a place for those with a discerning taste in food.

Although the restaurant has been around for the last 6 years a lot of foodies are still unaware of its existence. While their competitors are located at more conspicuous locales, Herbs and Spices preferred the quieter neighborhood. ‘Let people find us’ is what Manjit, the chief chef, stated. This is exactly what I discovered the first time I visited the place, the other patrons at the restaurant seemed familiar with the food and with the owners.

From their Spartan decor to their furniture everything at Herbs and Spices reads modest and utilitarian, however their food is far from modest, for instance their grilled Beef spirals, Walnut Meringue and a whole lot more reveals their intricate detailing in dishing out indigenous continental food.

Herbs and Spices is jointly owned and managed by Manjit Singh (a soft spoken surd) and Pankaj Ramesh who also happen to be the two head chefs of the restaurant. The meals comprising of pastas, steaks, salads, quiches and pies are Manjit’s speciality, Pankaj does the breads, croissants and exotic desserts like apple tarts, chocolate roulades, pavlovas, and the very popular walnut meringue and egg-less chocolate cakes.

The restaurant has a black board for its menu. ‘We have a new menu everyday, so that our customers have something new to look forward to each time. Although our salads and quiche are constants and few of the pastas and steaks keep appearing on the menu time and again, our menu has evolved as we have grown’ quipped Manjit.

When they started out their only competition was Sunny’s, now however there are many more specializing in continental cuisine. Manjit doesn’t seem perturbed by the fact, he believes they are offering not just great food but also quality time. You are unhurried and can take your time with your food and desserts, a rare phenomenon in restaurants these days.

A very unique thing I noticed about their desserts and breads section was that none of it seemed to carry a label, ‘Oh, we want to talk to our customers and tell them a little something more than just the name’ smiled Manjit. I loved the fact that they would truly customize your food, so if nothing on the menu appeals to you don’t worry they would always cook up something scrumptious for you. What impressed me the most was Manjit himself, an interesting conversationalist who could tell you lots about food and fine dining.

Anju Thaliath writes - Hi,
I wish I could give a higher rating than 'Excellent'. I simply adore this place with its serene, homely atmosphere. What I love most about this place is Manjit himself (his warmth) and the food that he makes. He surely knows the way to a woman's heart.
The food simply melts in your mouth.
This is the only place where after savouring a soup I actually closed my eyes unconsiously for a full five minutes b'coz I found it so delicious. After tasting food at so many restaurants, I realise the importance of having a restaurant like Herbs & Spice. It is one of its kind and its chef/owner (Manjit) one of his kind!
Ciao

I am an advertising professional right in the thick of all the chaos the mad Ad industry has to offer. I enjoy my work, do my quota of cribbing, never turn down a fight and learn new things as I evolve. I am very passionate about my profession and love the demanding environment. On the personal front, I get bitten by the travel bug quite often, love capturing whatever's worth on celluloid, Bollywood's biggest fan and a complete foodie. I try to pursue all my interests but often find myself hard pressed for time. No complaints there though. I pen my likes, dislikes, random thoughts, arguments, political/non-political views, etc, etc, etc. regularly…you'll find them all on my blog at www.coffeeconversationandmore.blogspot.com
