Benares is a gem in the heart of New York! ✨ I recently enjoyed an unforgettable dinner here, starting with the crispy Benarsi Kachori - which was simply divine! The Butter Chicken was rich and creamy, paired beautifully with the soft, flavorful Lacha Parantha.

Our server, Aldi, was knowledgeable and friendly, making great recommendations to enhance our meal. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a casual evening out.

If you're in the area, don't miss out on this delightful Indian restaurant! I can't wait to return and try more dishes... 🍽️
