Benares - Menu

Special evening with my family. Food and service was perfect. Thank you.

Everything is good, just the front desk said my booking had been cancelled and took some time.

very loud, service far from what they would expect. eating is good, nothing exceptional, although very expensive

A very enjoyable lunch experience. All the staff were friendly and prepared to spend time at the table explaining food and drink. The sommelier was especially helpful and the wine matches were superb. Three courses and a cocktail £38 excellent.

The food was amazing and the serving staff were excellent. The problem was they couldn't find our reservation which was made via the Fork which I confirmed by phone 1 week prior to the booking. There seems to be some diconnect between the App and the restaurant reservation system.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I felt catapulted to the ‘80s, the style it’s a bit dated the food quality and the service though, make me want to come back very soon. Everything was delicious and very well presented, furthermore, when they knew I was celebrating my birthday, they came with a lovely cake and a candle to celebrate. Loved the mocktail as well

Tradicional yet surprising, true to its roots. We took the tasting menu and loved it from start to finish. There were a couple of delicious creative dishes but “grand finale” was a Tikka Masala Chicken that was simply superb. Great service, cosy unpretentious vibe. More than deserves its Michelin star. A must for anyone who loves Indian food. For sure we’ll return.

I really wanted to like this, we were bought the tasting menu as a gift, and waited for a special occasion to use it. Unfortunately this was sub standard. I would not recommend for the price. Good points interesting use of seafood, never had a sea bream chaat before, and in all fairness this dish was the best we had. wine pairings were successful flexing between both white and red wines from Europe staff were attentive, although a bit quick to turnover courses door staff were lovely presentation of all the food was better than the taste Negatives decor overall felt dated and old fashioned food was largely bland over spiced and not enough flavour. Actually left my main meal of sole kebab as w...

I have eaten at Benares twice before and the food was superb. On this occasion, I was a left disappointed We booked the early set menu 2 courses and a champagne cocktail, which was excellent value at £32pp. The sweet and sour scallop starter was tasty but tiny, but my main butter chicken, exchanged for the masala vegetables with bread roll, was disappointing and I have had much better versions of this dish elsewhere. The roll also became very hard quickly and I think it had been microwaved, although this was denied by the serving staff member and I was not offered an alternative nan or bread product The rice portion was very small, despite being recommend it would be enough for two. We felt...
