Perfect Lunch
Perfect Lunch at Benares. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable particularly as one of our party was pregnant, pointing out anything not suitable and providing excellent non acholic cocktails for her as part of the package. The food was superb and elevates Indian cuisine to another level - cannot fault any part of this experience and all agreed to return again.

Benares - fabulous meal
We booked a lunchtime for our 3 course set menu with wine pairings at Benares. The staff were lovely, very friendly and relaxed. The service was excellent and the wine sommelier came to the table and talked through each wine he had selected. We added some extra sides to our meal which complimented the courses selected. Overall the experience was great, food beautiful and atmosphere spot on. Highly recommend this to anyone

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. From the minute you walk in the door, Benares is simply special. The food choice is very interesting and the cooking is exceptional. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and offered wine choices that were very enjoyable and complemented our meal The atmosphere in Benares is excellent mainly due to the friendly, well trained staff. Well done to you all.
