Benares

Ask for the "Fashion Victim" cocktail of Mr. Giovanni Spezziga. An awesome mix of Diplomático Reserva with Domaine de Carton Ginger , Homamade Benares syrup and chocolate bitter

Posh/nice Indian food choice for dinner & lunch time. Very classy environment in the heart of Mayfair & recommend to book in advance. Starters & main course just delicious & staff are super friendly .

There are amazing drinks to pick from. One MUST is the "Cool Runnings" with Reserva Exclusiva, Carton Ginger Liqueur 
 and Benares syrup 
 Dash of liquorice bitters 
. Fantastic. Read more

Cocktails are amazing, loved the saffron one. Nice vibe in the cocktail bar . Food is very good; don't miss the lamb chops . Don't expect curry dishes here.

The taster menu at £115 per person is well worth trying. Amazing food. The chefs table is an incredible culinary experience. Not to be missed

Some of the best Indian food I have had in London! I recommend going for their lunch set.

A fine Indian restaurant within mayfair, try their butter chicken and their biryani they're very good. Enjoy!

This is a Michelin-starred restaurant , so you're not doing it justice with the £29 set menu . I plumped for the tasting menu with matched wines and didn't regret it. Cocktails are delightful, too.

Delicious food, the set menu is actually quite reasonable (£29/£35). Tasting menu looked amazing but at £98 a head... I recommend the crème brûlée to finish your meal

Celebrate Fashion Week with 2 bespoke cocktails . Fashionistas can co-ordinate their drinks with their shoes , accessorising with The Louboutin, a tall drink with a red sole of pomegranate , lemon & gin

Have the tasting menu with matched wines . It's the only way to get the real Michelin star experience. We came on a Saturday night and Atul Kochar was on the floor meeting and greeting.

Indian cuisine in London might be easy to come by, but a restaurant as masterful as Benares is truly rare. Enjoy two cocktails and a sharing platter £25 with Lime&Tonic. Read more

High end food though sometimes a little too complicated. But overall very good. Sensible and courteous service . Great cocktails from classics like Bloody Mary to masala martinis .

Kochhar’s cooking melds Indian traditions with top-quality British ingredients and some European ideas: the result is a raft of generally “fabulously presented” and richly flavoured dishes. Read more

Small portions but filling. The daal and channa is outstanding. C dishes are also good, specially the grilled without the gravy .

A delightful experience - pure and elegant yet intense tastes and perfect technique. Every bite is a pleasure. Bonus: wonderful warmhearted personality of the chef & very kind staff .

Well worth a star (or 2!). Wont be disappointed with the Tasting menu...love the lychee n date lassi ????

Very good authentic Indian food in Mayfair, London. Super for dinner and our Lunch .

Modern Indian food . Every plate is so good. The samosa , chicken briani, chicken masala , prawn masala , chicken butter .

Amazing desserts . Try the tasting menu - lush & they will substitute for vegetarian versions too

Amazing Indian food in a modern atmosphere ... The lounge with music but the restaurant is without which make very comfortable .highly recommended.

I have tried Beriani vegetable rice , okra , and potato and chickpeas samosa all of them were great

Wine pairing is very interesting - familiar wines matched to an unusual host of spices and flavours!

Great food friendly staff beautiful for a special occasion

I simply love the excellent food and wonderful service at Benares. Chef Atul Kochhar always surprises in a good way.

Outstanding Indian cuisine . The salmon appetizer is divine, and the lentils are delicious!

Go for the Toptable lunch special . Michelin starred 3 course meal for 25 pounds. Includes a drink, amuse bouche , mini poppadoms+dip, and a pre-dessert. Amazing value and quality.

Kadai chicken is so tasty that you crave for more. Environment is noisy though

Food, service and ambience are all awesome

Food was good, staff very attentive and friendly . However, this is not a place for a quiet evening meal. We were seated next to a large group that was constantly swearing in loud voices!

Very nice upscale Indian in Mayfair with great interpretations of classical favorites

The seafood Thali platter is excellent, and fantastic value. Have the Mumbai martini while you wait for your table
