A Modern Indian Chef’s Table Journey and Night-cap at Michelin-starred Benares

Your evening begins at the foot of the stairs, where guests are personally welcomed and escorted past the flower-filled pool and vibrant bar before entering the calm, richly textured dining room. Seated at the Chef’s Table, guests are immersed in the rhythm of the kitchen and the creative vision behind Benares.

This experience is a multi-course tasting experience designed by the culinary team to showcase the restaurant’s signature approach: classical Indian techniques interpreted through a contemporary British lens. Each course reflects the season, the finest available ingredients, and a confident balance of spice, texture, and finesse. Thoughtfully selected beverage pairings accompany each course, curated to complement spice, richness, and freshness without overpowering the cuisine. 

Throughout the meal, the team offers insight into the inspirations, techniques, and cultural influences behind the menu, creating a sense of connection between guest, kitchen, and craft.

This is dining as storytelling—rooted in tradition, elevated by modernity, and delivered with quiet confidence.

Following dinner, guests are invited to continue the evening at the bar for a relaxed nightcap. In the warm, atmospheric setting, each guest enjoys of the bar’s signature creations, reflecting the bold flavours and playful spirit that define Benares after dark.

The Benares Chef’s Table is a journey through flavour, culture, and contemporary Indian hospitality.
