Right from the start our waiter Richard, our waiter was friendly, knowledgable, and fun! Appetizer melted mozzarella with Calabrian peppers was outstanding. We licked the bowl clean. Our party loved the 4 different mains. Portion size more than enough. Sadly, no room for dessert. We most certainly will be back.

We've been to this restaurant a number of times and it has not disappointed. Friday night we ordered dishes we had not had before , each of which was delicious. Attentive staff, lovely ambience. the portions were sufficiently large that we ended up taking home half our entrees and ate them the next night for dinner--equally delicious. Highly recommend.

We had a delicious meal at Benares. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The samosas are always good. My family enjoyed spicier dishes of goat and lamb. We celebrated my birthday with a chocolate lava cake and rose water ice cream. Our servers were excellent.
