Benares - Speisekarte

Food was fantastic, incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and attentive. They bought out a little surprise cake for my partner's birthday as well. The space probably lacked a little atmosphere for a Wednesday lunchtime but it was quiet and a big space which would be why. All in all, a great experience.

Had high hopes based on its reputation, reviews, reassuringly expensive menu and of course the MS Star rating. Reality however trumped Expectation...a very underwhelming experience. Aged decor, limited choices on the lunch menu astonishingly small (almost comedic) portions of food. On the plus side, the food tasted good excellent and attentive staff.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I felt catapulted to the ‘80s, the style it’s a bit dated the food quality and the service though, make me want to come back very soon. Everything was delicious and very well presented, furthermore, when they knew I was celebrating my birthday, they came with a lovely cake and a candle to celebrate. Loved the mocktail as well

Tradicional yet surprising, true to its roots. We took the tasting menu and loved it from start to finish. There were a couple of delicious creative dishes but “grand finale” was a Tikka Masala Chicken that was simply superb. Great service, cosy unpretentious vibe. More than deserves its Michelin star. A must for anyone who loves Indian food. For sure we’ll return.

Hit and miss. Good attentive amicable service. Well cooked and well presented ingredients, however, some dishes were a miss. The scallop with strawberry is a huge miss, an overpowering taste of out of season strawberries! The foie gras with Langoustine and raw curry didn't blend well. The tandoori lamb chop was scrumptious and wish if I had a whole rack of it. The dessert was light and fluffy and pink in all the right places. Will definitely try again when it is not a valentine's menu. Recommended.

I found this place while looking for recommendations on the web. I was really disappointed as it did not meet my expectations that were based off of reviews online. I intend this to be a constructive feedback given the food overall was good and service was nice. My disappointment was mainly with the portion sizes of all dishes on the set menu. I don't expect restaurants to go out of their way in their generosity but this definitely felt below par. I would love to hear others who have been here. Also wonder if there is a bar for portion sizes that even Michelin star restaurants ought to adhere to.

The service was a premium, the decor contemporary, the location was easy to find (with free parking during the evenings, if you can find it). The food was cooked well, the menu was detailed, and the overall impression of the restaurant was pleasant. However, I can't quite justify the minimum spend with the food. While it was good quality food, I simply couldn't quite nail down why it was Michelin star worthy relative to other places I've been to that where either cheaper, or better food. No doubt the food was of a high quality, cooked with care, but I can't justify the premium. Overall, would recommend if someone was in the area, but wouldn't return at this price point.

Really lovely ambience in the restaurant with dark mood lighting and asisn inspired decorations . Service was really good, very friendly and the waiters explained all the dishes well. The food was good. I really loved poppadoms with the Berry chutney as appetisers. Starters was chicken momo in a hot sweetcorn soup. I enjoyed this a lot, was little spicy but tasty. I did not enjoy the main lamb curry with moringa naan. The lamb was cooked perfectly and falling apart as soon as my fork touched it. Just wasn't a big fan of the flavours in the curry and it was very spicy which I couldn’t handle. Moringa naan was ok but I would not eat it again. For dessert I had the date and ginger sticky toffee...

I really wanted to like this, we were bought the tasting menu as a gift, and waited for a special occasion to use it. Unfortunately this was sub standard. I would not recommend for the price. Good points interesting use of seafood, never had a sea bream chaat before, and in all fairness this dish was the best we had. wine pairings were successful flexing between both white and red wines from Europe staff were attentive, although a bit quick to turnover courses door staff were lovely presentation of all the food was better than the taste Negatives decor overall felt dated and old fashioned food was largely bland over spiced and not enough flavour. Actually left my main meal of sole kebab as w...
