Benares is home to the acclaimed Atul Kochhar, the twice Michelin starred Chef that has pushed the boundaries of Indian cuisine, creating unique and rare dishes from all parts of the world.
The Benares menus are based on the highest quality produce and seasonal ingredients, from all corners of India, enhanced with a contemporary twist. The kitchen is renowned for its subtle spicing and authentic flavours. Atul's food is faithful to its origins but is presented in a style in keeping with the deeply seductive surroundings, marrying tradition with daring modernity. Lastly, all lamb and chicken at Benares is halal.

We went to a cooking demonstration at Benares followed by a tasting lunch and Atul makes cooking curries look so easy. When we tasted them though they were out of this world, with such depth of flavour and varied flavours to each one. Amazing stuff and worlds apart from the high street Indian restaurants I grew up with.
