Halal Reviews for Benares Mayfair

The service was a premium, the decor contemporary, the location was easy to find (with free parking during the evenings, if you can find it). The food was cooked well, the menu was detailed, and the overall impression of the restaurant was pleasant. However, I can't quite justify the minimum spend with the food. While it was good quality food, I simply couldn't quite nail down why it was Michelin star worthy - relative to other places I've been to that where either cheaper, or better food. No doubt the food was of a high quality, cooked with care, but I can't justify the premium. Overall, would recommend if someone was in the area, but wouldn't return at this price point.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I felt catapulted to the ‘80s, the style it’s a bit dated 🙈 the food quality and the service though, make me want to come back very soon. Everything was delicious and very well presented, furthermore, when they knew I was celebrating my birthday, they came with a lovely cake and a candle to celebrate. Loved the mocktail as well 😝

I found this place while looking for recommendations on the web. I was really disappointed as it did not meet my expectations that were based off of reviews online. I intend this to be a constructive feedback given the food overall was good and service was nice. My disappointment was mainly with the portion sizes of all dishes on the set menu. I don't expect restaurants to go out of their way in their generosity but this definitely felt below par. I would love to hear others who have been here. Also wonder if there is a bar for portion sizes that even Michelin star restaurants ought to adhere to.
