Highly lauded chef-patron Atul Kochhar was the first Indian chef to receive a Michelin star at Tamarind four years ago and in the three years since opening his own restaurant Benares in Mayfair; he has established Benares as one of London's best Indian restaurants. Atul's highly acclaimed menu explores dishes from all over India and his regular return trips to his native country inspires his delicately spiced, contemporary eye catching food, creating a luscious fusion of East and West. The menu at Benares is the culmination in Atul Kochhar's extensive research, incorporating dishes and ingredients from all corners of India. Renowned for its subtle spicing and authentic flavours, Atul's food - all of which is Halaal - is faithful to its origins but presented in a style in keeping with the elegant surroundings.
