Three Course Set Menu and Cocktail for Two at Benares 10778367

Really lovely evening. Food was delicious, well presented and just the right portions. The bit that was commendable was the attention to detail and the service. Our waiter did not forget a single thing. We did not have to remind him of anything and he suggested some brilliant drinks. The level of service was better than all the Michelin star restaurants we have been to. And we have been to a lot! Thank you!

This was a real treat. The food at Benares was utterly delicious and the service and ambience were lovely. This is high end dining and the portion sizes are very small but extremely tasty. The only down side is that the set menu doesn't include any sides (rice, lentils etc.) and so you have to pay extra to the initial voucher cost in order to have enough food. Everything was delicious but we ended up spending what we would usually spend on a meal out on top of the gift voucher we had for 3 courses. We didn't mind as it was a gift and we wanted to make the most of going somewhere we would never normally have gone, but if you expect to have a naan or some rice included with your main courses you will be disappointed. We would have preferred larger portions of the starter and main course and smaller dessert, but that's totally personal. The overall experience was great, the service was welcoming, professional and friendly and we would recommend it. (Worth adding that my friend who gave me the gift hadn't realised that the voucher had to be used for an eating slot before 6.30pm and was very disappointed not to have seen that in the small print. We didn't mind at all, but it is worth checking the small print before using Buyagift.)

Me and my husband were given this voucher for my birthday and I wasn't disappointed because the whole experience of eating service and attention to detail was par excellence.Waiters would check regularly if all was ok. Even got extra starters of poppadums with chutneys. My only criticism could be that food was slightly less hot according to our Asian tastes otherwise wouldn't mind coming again.

From the friendly welcome to the lovely food , an all round excellent experience. Relaxing lunch, god food, super friendly staff. And a lovely touch of a belated happy birthday plate. Really sweet. Thank you.

From start to finish it was superb . The staff were excellent and the ambiance was wonderful . The food was delicious we had a wonderful evening , thank you

Lovely, attentive staff. Good location, in Berkeley Square, a stone's throw from Piccadilly. Lots of little extras - crackers, amuses-bouches and the like. Didn't like the fact that the restaurant doesn't have any windows - I get a bit claustrophobic, so that, alone, would put me off returning. Otherwise, a very nice experience. Food different, but quite spicy. Wine expensive. Certainly worth trying, but would I return... no.

From the minute we walked through the door the service was fantastic. Great choices on the menu and the dessert I had was the best dessert I have ever had. The food and ambience was lovely and it even though it was a full restaurant the service was timely and spot on. The Bellini cocktail with the special ingredients was superb. A really great experience.

The food was amazing!

We arrived at Benares by a very friendly receptionist who took our coats and gave me a lovely silk scarf , a nice touch and sat as at table. A good choice on the menu , we had the prawns, chicken and strawberry meringue , all courses were delicious, the staff were both friendly, professional and attentive , a lovely gift and we will certainly return

We had a great evening a Benares. The food was amazing and the service was both professional and friendly. The wine pairings were also great. Would highly recommend.
