Festive Season at Benares
As the festive season approaches, we invite you to indulge in a unique dining experience, featuring curries, scallops, naan and a pinch of Christmas magic!
Christmas is a time for giving but it’s also a time for feasting. Gather with family, friends or colleagues and join us for a suitably festive Indian feast, served in a relaxed and intimate setting in the heart of Mayfair.
Come together this festive season and celebrate in style at Benares. Throughout November and December, enjoy our three Festive Party Menus, perfect for getting together with friends. For the main event itself, the restaurant will open its doors Christmas Day for lunch, offering an exclusive Tasting Menu.
