Benares

New York, New York

Really cheap lunch specials. (Otherwise may not be worth the money.) Around $20pp all-in for brunch prix fixe?? lamb skewer appetizer & lamb entree were good, but naan was subpar. Staff is attentive but didn?t notify us of auto-tip, so I ended up double-tipping

Yummy yummy food! I'd heard a lot about this place and glad that we found time to squeeze this visit in. Reserved a table since it was Sunday but it wasn't needed as they had quite a few open tables. We were seated immediately and the order was taken super quickly. I primarily went there for the Benares Kachori and Kolhapuri Misal. The Misal was fabulous and the bread was super tasty. The Kachori was thin but yum. We got the prix fixe vegetarian platter. All the curries were flavorful and on point. Knocking off a star for the lack of ambience in terms of bad music choice and extremely loud cutlery noise while clearing tables and around the kitchen. They had a wonderful percussion artist while we were there but couldn't hear a thing as there was blaring music in the background. If you're someone who doesn't mind music choices, go here and taste that Misal Pav!!

We ordered dahi kebab which were nothing like dahi kebab but frozen cheese nuggets given to us and tasted disgusting We ordered paneer tikka masala and ended up returning it as they gave us the wrong dish, which again tasted disgusting ? the dal makhani was so salty and nowhere near to what actual makhani is. A lot of people have given this restaurant a 4+ rating, but if i had an option if have given a negative. They are nowhere near Indian restaurant standards.

We were 2 and ordered dahi kebab, malai kofta, 2 garlic naan and mango lassi. Everything was perfect and tasted so good. 1 garlic would be enough for us as after finishing 2 garlic naan, we couldn?t had rice.

Great place, good food. Their chicken dishes are especially good, Malai kab and chicken 65. Misal pav is okay, it has chickpeas in it and is served with bread. The tipsy gulabo is great, perfect blend of lassi and alcohol. Overall,a good place to satisfy Indian food cravings.

Great place to go for a quick lunch if you?re in the neighborhood. The lunch prix fixe is beautifully catered and the selection is quite impressive. I would definitely come here again.

We just loved the place. Food was amazing. We ordered vegetarian dishes and it turned out wow. We asked them to make a bit spicy and it was perfect. We will surely visit again.

Nice Indian Food Option in Manhattan Downtown. Manager was very friendly and assisted in reservation and setting up our team. This is one of our surprise dinner event for our manager, it turned out to be great location and food. Nice options for Veg and Non-Veg folks, definitely will recommend this hotel for the folks in the area.
