Why We Love This Deal
This is "modern Indian cooking that deserved its Michelin star", says Andy Hayler about Benares. As well as a Michelin star, the Mayfair-based restaurant also holds two AA Rosettes. Luxury London praises the "inventive dishes that showcase conversation-stopping flavours and creative flair". Dine on the set menu and get a beer or sparkling cocktail for £40 per person—Travelzoo members save 35%.
What's Included
A 2-course meal for one from the set menu, including a main course and either a starter or dessert
A sparkling cocktail or a beer
Add an extra course for £5 per person
Valid 12–2:30pm and 5:30–6:30pm (last order 6:30pm) Monday–Saturday 2 January–30 November, 2026
The AA awards the restaurant two Rosettes for its "cutting-edge modern Indian in Mayfair".
Executive chef Sameer Taneja re-joined the restaurant team in 2019. He earned back the restaurant's Michelin star in 2021, and has retained it since.
The Michelin Guide says Sameer's cooking shows "confidence, freshness and vitality". Ingredients are "exemplary quality" and you can expect "modern techniques [balanced] with recognisable flavours and spicing".
"Benares is big, bold and modern," says Condé Nast Traveller. It's "as much of a destination to be seen as it is to eat".

The overbearing staff trying to push more drinks at all times, the fact the manager kept empathising that the sides served with the meal were complimentary! And that they charged us an extra £5.00 per person for the three course meal plus the consequence extra service/ cover charge

Warm welcome on arrival and taken through to our table. Staff attentive. We had vouchers for the tasting menu which included a cocktail or beer.
The food was nicely presented and flavourful, offering a contemporary twist on Indian dishes. Don’t expect large dishes as being Michelin starred portion size is on the smaller side.
Cocktail and beer included with the voucher were good but be prepared for a high bill for any replacement drinks.
Overall a nice meal.

Whilst I appreciate it’s located in Mayfair and is 1 Michelin star, I did feel that the mark up on drinks menu in general is excessive eg very small beer £10, fruit juice £11 and most cocktails about £28 with bottles of wine under £100 for not particularly good wines. By the time the table cover and service charge is added it’s quite easy to rack up an additional £70-£100 for soft drinks or tea/ coffee.
Nice to experience as ticking most of the Michelin restaurants off but probably wouldn’t go back

I bought this offer for my husband as he's always wanted to go. The food was delicious and the staff exemplary. The young lady that served us described all of the items on the menu as they are not your "normal" dishes. Each course arrived looking beautiful and each part of the dish was explained fully.
My only word of caution is that the draft cobra was £10 for 1/2 a pint.
Beautiful surroundings too. Will definitely be going back.

Disappointed with the service. All they wanted to do was sell us extras and then rush us. They even asked if we wanted to order dessert in the middle of us eating it.
