"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."

A very enjoyable lunch experience. All the staff were friendly and prepared to spend time at the table explaining food and drink. The sommelier was especially helpful and the wine matches were superb. Three courses and a cocktail £38 excellent.

The food was amazing and the serving staff were excellent. The problem was they couldn't find our reservation which was made via the Fork which I confirmed by phone 1 week prior to the booking. There seems to be some diconnect between the App and the restaurant reservation system.
