Why We Love This Deal
"This is modern Indian cooking that deserved its Michelin star" says Andy Hayler about Benares. As well as a Michelin Star, the Mayfair-based restaurant also holds two Rosettes. Luxury London praises the "inventive dishes that showcase conversation-stopping flavours and creative flair". Dine on the set menu and get a beer or sparkling cocktail for £40 per person. This saves almost a quarter on the regular price.
What's Included
- A 2-course meal for one from the set menu, including a main course and either a starter or dessert
- A sparkling cocktail or a Cobra
- Add an extra course for £5
- Valid for 12–2:30pm and 5:30–6:30pm (last order 6:30pm) Monday–Saturday 1 January–30 November, 2025.
More Reasons to Go
- The AA awards the restaurant two Rosettes for its "cutting-edge modern Indian in Mayfair".
- Executive chef Sameer Taneja re-joined the restaurant team in 2019. He earned back the restaurant's Michelin star in 2021, and has retained it since.
- The Michelin Guide 2024 says Sameer's cooking shows "confidence, freshness and vitality". Ingredients are "exemplary quality" and you can expect "modern techniques [balanced] with recognisable flavours and spicing".
- "Benares is big, bold and modern". It's "as much of a destination to be seen as it is to eat" says Condé Nast Traveller.

Disappointed with the service. All they wanted to do was sell us extras and then rush us. They even asked if we wanted to order dessert in the middle of us eating it.

We all had a fantastic time thank you. The front desk was very welcoming as were the waiters. Beautiful decor and really attentive staff. Absolutely loved all of the food we had - great deal travelzoo. The turkey momo starter was delicious, happy to have those any time. The lamb main course was so tender and really tasty. We are all keen to return

Really nice place but a little on the dark side. Excellent food (some really different and thoughtful variations) and service (polite, informative and attentive). Will be returning soon.

The quality of the meal and presentation. The mains were an incomplete and poorly thought of meal.
