National Curry Week is here - a celebration of one of Britain’s most beloved dishes and the vibrant flavours that have made it a cornerstone of dining culture across the country. At Benares, we take pride in honouring this culinary tradition with a menu that seamlessly blends the best of British produce with the intricate spice profiles of India.
A Refined Take on a Timeless Classic
Curry, in its many forms, is a dish that speaks of comfort, warmth, and shared moments. At Benares, our interpretation goes beyond comfort - it’s a journey through India’s diverse regions, elevated with contemporary technique and elegant presentation. From slow-braised lamb curries rich with depth, to delicate seafood preparations infused with coastal spices, each dish reflects the essence of Indian cuisine while celebrating the seasonality of the British larder.
Every curry at Benares is carefully crafted - spices toasted to release their aroma, sauces simmered until silky, and ingredients chosen at their freshest. The result is food that feels familiar yet refined, with a balance of flavour and finesse that defines modern Indian dining.
