One of the best Indian food I have had. Would recommend this place for any special occasion. We went for the 3 course menu which was great as we had a good few options to pick from. The food was hot, tasty, and very well presented. Service was top notch as you would expect from a place like this. They even brought out a small happy birthday cake for my wife which was unexpected and a lovely touch. Will definitely be back here again.

Everything was top-notch . From the moment I stepped into , it was clear I was in for an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance was sophisticated yet welcoming, with attention to detail in every corner. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, with staff members who were knowledgeable about each dish. We began with amazing samosa chaat,panner galoti and Rajasthani gatta that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. The paneer amazingly melted in my mouth .The balance of flavors and textures in each dish was nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing the chef's expertise. The dal makhni with layers of flavor that unfolded with every bite. The presentation was artistic, and you could taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. For the dessert I had the chikoo ice cream and Rasmalai which was very authentic and creative and provided a sweet and satisfying end to the meal. Very amazing service by restaurant manager Mr.Singh ,he took our care throughout the service and I would definitely return back for the food and experience .

Book Benaras for your special day today! I came here to celebrate turning 10 in this country and it was every penny worth it. The food, the hospitality and the overall experience is just mind blowing. I would highly recommend every one of the dishes I have tried here - the signature set menu was just outstanding. And the desserts too! Mind is blown! Shout out to the wonderful staff too! I’m a foodie so I obviously forgot to photograph them all, but I did manage to get a few!! Also, please pre-book. The place is highly popular (for good reason)!

My first time to a fine dining Indian restaurant. Superb ingredients with more focus on flavours and aromas than heat. Also the first time that I’ve tried an Indian Shiraz. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor is beautiful. Prices are, however, very high. A really good experience but there is a lot of competition for fine dining in this area of London.
