Had a very nice dinner here. The biriyani was excellent and the spinach and chicken were solid. Our server mogambo was perfect, helpful but not overly present. He made some solid suggestions and we were very happy with the food and service. We will be back for sure!!!

The food was great and so was the service! Everything seemed very cozy and comforting. We got misal pav, kachori, naan, methi malai matar, laal maans, lassi, and fresh lime soda. Kolhapuri misal pav didn't really hit the spot but everything else was delicious and I would recommend it! We just probably made a mistake of going there when the owners had their own party ongoing. It distracted the staff and they understandably felt like they had to reprioritize their services to cater to the party. Would definitely visit if I am in the area.

Very nice experience and service by Monir and Prashad. I got the Dal Tadka (lentils) and it was excellent. I had a special request to not use oil to prepare my dinner but butter instead, and to be easy on the salt and Prashad happily assured me. Very nice ambiance. My parents said their food was excellent as well.

Dined in on a Friday and had the lunch special - samosas, chicken Andhra curry (curry leaves and coconut milk base), garlic naan and a small rice pudding for dessert. I was stuffed! I loved the atmosphere, it was calm yet lively. Lots of Indian families eating lunch (always a good sign) and it’s a huge airy space compared to most other restaurants in NYC. I felt very comfortable dining solo. At 3pm they have drinks specials and would definitely come back for that! The staff were kind, courteous and so sweet!

We had an amazing experience working with Benares for catering on our film shoot. They helped us organize food for a 30-person crew, and everyone was thrilled with the delicious spread.We served butter chicken, white rice, and vegetable samosas—everything was flavorful, comforting, and super satisfying.The staff was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the process.Highly recommend Benares for any event catering or to dine in! Great food, great people, great experience!

Aankit Malhotra is the owner of the restaurant and he is the most welcoming and heart warming person ever. Can you believe that I have yet to meet him in person. He is incredibly accommodating through the phone and via online catering orders. He’s willing to update you and replies very quickly when an issue is going on. I already love Indian food and I already can tell their food is delicious. I will keep y’all updated!

One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in NYC by far! The food is delicious and full of flavor, the service is above and beyond, and the atmosphere is a perfect modern anesthetic. The drinks alone are a reason to go if you're not hungry but do yourself a favor and get something to eat even if it's to go!
