Reviews
The flavors were rich and distinct! Overall very delicious food and comfortable atmosphere.Lots of seating options, either cozy booths, spacey tables, or seating at the bar.The waiter was exceptionally friendly.The Lamb Kourma was my favorite dish.Dessert was on the sweet side, but delicious. However, the bathrooms were in a strange location and not very clean.Also, we had to ask for the water to stay at our table when we got our drinks.

Thanks for the detailed review Grace! Glad you enjoyed the food and service.We are having our bathrooms re done first week of Jan and hope you can visit us anytime after.Happy holidays!
Decent food and ambiance.We ordered Benarsi Kachori, shahi paneer.Kachori was delicious however quantity could have been better for the price.Shahi paneer was ok.Nice place to try if you’re around the area.

Thanks for coming! Glad you enjoyed.We are known for large portions! I will speak to the chefs in the kachori and get it resolved!
Recently visited Benares and was absolutely delighted by the experience.The food here is exceptional, particularly the Kachori, which was perfectly spiced and crispy.The Spicy Naan and Laccha Parantha were soft and flavorful, complementing every dish beautifully.The Amritsari fish and Chicken Kali Mirch were standout dishes, each offering a unique and rich taste that was simply unforgettable.But the highlight of the evening was the surprise from our waiter who brought out a delicious Gulab Jamun cake for my birthday, making the occasion even more special.The service throughout was impeccable, adding to an overall fantastic dining experience.Highly recommend Benares for anyone looking for exquisite Indian cuisine and top-notch service.
