Earlier this month, Chef Luis Ojeda, executive Chef of Benares Madrid visited us in London. What followed was a beautiful exchange of ideas and culinary flair, and not to mention a lot of camaraderie.

Chef Luis spent a week at Benares London, revisiting the roots of traditional Indian fine-dining cooking with Sameer Taneja, our very own Executive Chef; and fellow chefs in the esteemed Benares kitchen. Carrying a relentless passion for learning, the Chefs continued to experiment and innovate; often combining produce and ingredients that lead to interesting flavours, pushing the boundaries of Indian gastronomy and fine dining.

True to our philosophy, at Benares we continue to push the boundaries of Indian gastronomy and seamlessly blend traditional Indian techniques with British seasonal produce, resulting in a creative fusion that celebrates both cultures.
