Benares

Indian cooking above Berkeley Square, named for the city on the Ganges.

One Michelin starIndianFancy

Benares is the old name for Varanasi, the city Hindus hold as their spiritual capital, and the restaurant sits at the top of a staircase past a pool of flowers. Sameer Taneja cooks a modern Indian menu on classical foundations: Malabar scallops, and batak nihari, a duck stew of the kind traditionally left overnight on a low heat.
