"I have eaten at Benares twice before and the food was superb. On this occasion, I was a left disappointed We booked the early set menu 2 courses and a champagne cocktail, which was excellent value at £32pp. The sweet and sour scallop starter was tasty but tiny, but my main butter chicken, exchanged for the masala vegetables with bread roll, was disappointing and I have had much better versions of this dish elsewhere. The roll also became very hard quickly and I think it had been microwaved, although this was denied by the serving staff member and I was not offered an alternative nan or bread product The rice portion was very small, despite being recommend it would be enough for two. We felt somewhat rushed at the end of the evening but were offered accommodation in the bar area The restaurant did provide a Happy Birthday' dessert for my friend though, which was much appreciated. The champagne cocktail was probably the best part of the special deal. I would recommend ordering a la carte for the better quality food experience."

"I had a fantastic experience during my second visit to this restaurant, just like the first time. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back on a Friday again!"

"The restaurant is very nicely decorated but the food and service do not match to that experience. We were sat so close to other people on other tables it was like were dining with them. We attended pre concert and chose the concert menu. The appetisers came within minutes of ordering, there wasn't a lot for the price. The mains we had to wait over 45 minutes for which was not good and we kept being told it was on the way. The food when it came was average curry really. It had obviously been cooked in a huge batch as it was on the set menu so not sure why it took so long. The service was not great...we were never asked if the food was ok or if we wanted another drink. We only had Coke and this was rather expensive at £3 for a tiny bottle.... Overall i think the place is very nice but the food was average at best and the service poor. The set menu was £25 per person which was not value for what you actually got. We saw a 10% service charge on our bill which we asked to be removed. Tried it, but wouldn't go back again."

"We booked a children’s party here for ten kids through groupon. Booking wasn’t very straightforward as the member of staff didn’t know what we were talking about. We never received any confirmation of booking either. Once we got there we were shown the tables available for us and the two bowling lanes. We were the only customers in the place so having ten kids for a party should of been easy. First off the constant nagging from the female member of staff put a real damper on the day. Kids are noisy,they run around bearing in mind it’s a kids party. This member of staff was at my side every five minutes complaining about one thing or another. The bowling alley wasn’t great,at one stage the ball actually rolled back up the alley. The food is unlimited on the groupon with pasta, chips and pizza available. The kids were hungry and ate well but we didn’t need anymore food. There were a few left over slices of pizza which I offered to the adults. The female member of staff actually took the pizza out of my mums hand saying it was for the kids,took it away and binned it. When she came to complain to me again I actually told her to leave me alone and requested the manager. There were a few complaints from us about the way the staff behaved and when I discussed this with the manager he just blamed the staff. When I explained that I’m an avid trip adviser reviewer he tried to bribe me with a free game if I gave a good review. It’s a great deal on the face of it but it was a total nightmare. I even opened a tab and spent £60 on top of the party cost as I know the business doesn’t make a profit from groupon,this included food for the adults. The male member of staff behind the bar was fantastic."

"We had the table booked at Tayyabs which actually made our life easy otherwise there was a big waiting queue. Well food was amazing. I would recommend lamb chops ghost daal and mutton keema. It had an authentic taste and aroma so well done at that part. Ambiance is okay but place was too noisy and there was Indian music also being played , I dont know if anyone could actually hear to the music because of the noise. With respect to service and hygiene it was pretty much standard that you will expect to get in any restaurant. Overall go for it for the food and you will not regret and you can bring your own booze which is a plus."

"Good food but very poor customer service. Manager was not aware which credit cards were accepted by the card reader and during payment when my cards weren't being accepted by the reader, he kept on blaming that my cards didn't work and that his reader accepted all debit/credit cards!"

"This restaurant offered an authentic experience of sub-continental cuisine. The venture is very enterprising located in NESCOT. Everything is new and very clean. There is a good choice of dishes although on our visit the two dishes my son asked for were not available. I had a sizzling tikka dish of chicken lamb chop and fish which was very good accompanied with an exceptional vegetable curry with nine different vegetables.My son enjoyed his chicken tikka masala . Naan bread and a chapati were of a high standard. The service was a bit slow but it is a training ground for youngsters making their way in the catering industry."

"There was an incident where a group of people were slightly intoxicated. Security were called to escort them out. This was unpleasant to experience as we was out celebrating (birthday). The staff were very apologetic and no fault from their end however it was concerning that these group of guests were allowed in all at once, there were at least 11 of them, some using the bar space and the others spilt across 3 tables. They were loud and inconsiderate towards the other guests. I was hoping for a better ambiance. The staff still made us feel special by singing happy birthday and just being very nice but that incident did ruin our night. The food was lovely though."

"It was a pleasure to eat here a year ago. good place to try out an authentic Indian menu that I think serves a lot of street fruit and informal kind of Indian meal. in my opinion, it is not the right place for a sitting, formal occasion. the taste is not necessarily what they would expect if they only tried British Indian food. I did not love the energy of this restaurant, but I think that eating corresponds to the interior design very good! eating was interesting to try. Thank you."

"I gave the service 2 stars because on the waitress dropped the food and went without saying what it was. we tried to call her back, but she didn't even make eye contact before she left. we had to advise who eats, it was a matter of origin when we asked another waitress, they said they were not safe. we appreciate it was busy, but when I asked for more soße, I thought it would come with my meal. I asked 2 other waiters and it never came. One of the people I ordered with 2 mosquito tails ordered. they never came and when he asked another waitress, they said they had run out and offered koks. I feel like if we had never asked another waitress, he would have been charged for something he would never have received, or he would not have said they had run out. that was nice to eat."

"I rated the service 2 stars because the waitress dropped off our food without telling us what it was. When we tried to get her attention to ask, she didn't even look at us as she walked away. We had to guess who should eat what, and when we asked another waitress for clarification, she informed us that it wasn’t safe to eat. We understand it was a busy night, but when I requested more sauce, I assumed it would be brought out with my meal. I asked two other waitstaff, and it never arrived. One person in our party ordered two mosquito tails, but they never came. When he inquired with another waitress, she said they were out and offered him a Coke instead. It feels like if we hadn’t asked someone else, he might have been charged for a dish he never received, or at the very least, we wouldn’t have been informed that it was unavailable. Despite the service issues, the food itself was quite enjoyable."
