We Have Retained Our Michelin Star for 2026!

We are proud and thrilled to share that Benares has retained its Michelin Star for 2026! This accolade is a testament to the unwavering passion and dedication of our entire team, from our talented kitchen brigade, led by Executive Chef Sameer Taneja, to our front-of-house staff who strive to make every visit memorable.

A Journey of Flavour and Tradition

Retaining this star isn’t just about looking back at what we’ve achieved; it’s an invitation to keep pushing the boundaries of modern Indian cuisine. Whether you are joining us for our signature Tasting Menu or a quick, sophisticated lunch, our commitment remains the same: to marry the finest British ingredients with the bold, vibrant heritage of India.
