Benares
Contemporary Indian restaurant on Berkeley Square under chef Sameer Taneja, with a main dining room and several private spaces for diaspora hosting. Established in 2003 and still a Mayfair fixture for modern Indian cooking with British seasonal produce. Reserve on benaresrestaurant.com, confirm Sunday hours, and use the square location when you are already in Mayfair for galleries, hotels or evening appointments nearby. Confirm current hours and access before travel. Direct readers to the official website for reservation windows.

While you're there
Berkeley Square puts Mayfair hotels and Connaught Bar within a short walk. For another Indian tasting register later in the week, keep A.Wong in Pimlico on the diary. Confirm jacket expectations and tasting length when you book.
Pro Tip: Ask how long the tasting runs when you book, then decide on Connaught Bar afterward; Mayfair tables that quote two hours often run closer to three once wine pairings start.
- Best for
- A Mayfair Indian tasting when Berkeley Square is already on the diary.
- Pair with
- A walkable nightcap at Connaught Bar.
- Season / timing
- London Fashion Week and December party season compress Mayfair tables.
