About Benares

Description

Serving up modern Indian cuisine with a British twist, Benares boasts four different private dining rooms perfect for hosting meetings, special occasions and corporate events. With fantastic food and a range of rooms bound to fit any brief, have your next meeting or private dinner at Benares, Mayfair.

Depending on the size of your party, Benares has a room to fit any kind of function. From the nine seat chef’s table room, with views straight into the kitchen so you can watch all your food being cooked right in front of you, to the bigger and grander Dover Room, which seats up to 36 people on one long table, there is something to cater to all.

If you want wine to be the focus of your meal, the Wine Room, which seats up to ten guests, boasts walls adorned with wine racks and bottles from all over the world and of all ages. This room is the place to book if you are after a more intimate and completely private dinner.

The last of the rooms on offer is the Berkeley Room. Similar in grandeur to The Dover Room, this room’s simple but smart table layout, Indian artwork and warm dark colours is the perfect environment to enjoy dishes from the specially curated private dining room menus.

With four different menus to choose from, including a six course tasting menu, guests can expect the likes of masala monk fish, pachrangi dal – lentil stew – a tandoori chicken tikka pie and rock oyster pakoras. To finish, a bhapa doi with rhubarb and pomegranate, or a chocolate chilli torte make for a sweet end to your Indian feast.

Lastly, if you are looking to book Benares for a more casual affair, The Lounge seats up to 30 people and has space for 60 people standing. The cool and stylish space offers up some of the restaurants signature cocktails such as the passion fruit and chutney martini.
