Bad Points: Bar gets a little crowded
General comments: Service at Benares Indian Restaurant is first rate, food is out of this world. There are arguments about its "authenticity". These are spurious, as are all arguments about "authenticity". The food is derived from the Indian tradition, and is as good as you would expect Michelin starred food to be, if not better. The sous-sommelier who attended to our needs really made our evening. The service was faultless, you barely noticed it happening, and everything arrived at exactly the right time. Cost a small fortune, and every penny well-spent. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We visited Benares Indian Restaurant with one other family. The host asked the quantity of food in one of the few appetizers and the waiter curtly told him to order ahead and he will tell him if the order was ok.

I had the tasting menu and it was fantastic. All courses were beautifully presented and a delight to eat. I cannot believe that someone is suggesting that a McDonald's would have been preferable! Not a chance! As for it not being authentic, I don't doubt for a minute that this food isn't being served in Indian homes as the preparation would be far too time consuming. It's Atul's personal take on what he terms as 'New British Indian' and it is well worth every penny in my mind.

Benares Indian Restaurant manages to be unique without departing from the Indian Curry tastes we know and love. I've been to Benares twice so far. The last time was six months ago, yet when I remember the mixed tandoors starter, my mouth starts watering. Pity I don't live in London, or this would be my frequent dining destination.
Highly recommended.
