Went to Herb and Spice tonight and the food was delicious, full of delicate tastes and textures. And we were served by Abduk Mukthadir himself, with careful attention. Perfect!

I visited this place a few weeks back and I must say that the food was amazing, this was my second time there, it did not live up to my first visit as we got served by someone different the second time. Mr Mukhtar IS herb and spice..his personal touch when it comes to sevice is very special..i was told he was on holiday when i went there..hopefully he will be back the next time i go..!!!

Herbs and Spice is my first Indian restaurant where i had Lunch with my friends Tony Garrett and Manoj during my five months stay in London. I personally have many sweet memories attach with this restaurant especially the Cobras and pappadam combo. Mukthar was always there to greet us with his sweet smile.I am glad to know more about Mukthar. Thanks for all the hospitality good luck…..

I booked this place for a work event, there was 11 of us, when we walked in we thought straight away what a small place, will we get served on time, will the only waiter be ok to handle all of us? All our thoughts were dashed away by this fantastic man. He was friendly, he had great hospitality standards and the food was nice too. This man should be working in every food establishment!!! Fantastic warm feeling. Well done Mr Mukthar. Thanks for a lovely time

We had dinner in Herb & Spice on Friday night (as we have many times), and Muktha told us about this site. He’s always welcomed us amazingly warmly and has often entertained us with stories (as well as with fantastic food) and made the trek to east london worthwhile.

The stories shared here are an insightful and moving history of the area.

What a moving story. I rarely visit London but my family ate in the restuarant last weekend, he was delightful. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him.

this story is really quite moving
i am this guy’s age and i was also the daughter of immigrants (to NZ), but i never ever lived as he describes – i am really touched by his love for his area
