Benares - Modern Indian Restaurant & Caterers

Had lunch at Benares in Wyckoff and really enjoyed it. The lunch special is now $13.95, which is a great deal for what you get. The plate came with fresh naan, creamy dal makhani, paneer curry, and saag with veggies — all full of flavor and not too heavy. The onion salad with lemon and green chili on the side added a nice kick. The staff was super friendly and kept us entertained, chatting and checking in just the right amount. You can tell they actually enjoy what they do. They’ve also opened a banquet hall, which looks perfect for small parties or family gatherings. Overall, tasty food, good portions, and a fun, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

I had a wonderful solo lunch today to treat myself. I have been meaning to come back for a few years but timing never worked until today. Everyone was so friendly, the service was incredibly fast, and the food was delicious! I had the non-vegetarian lunch special for just under $18 and I got SO much food - an appetizer (samosas), main dish (chicken saag) that came with lentil soup, basmati rice, and naan. Top it all off with a delightful dessert, included in the special! Highly recommend.

We hired Benares for our October 2024 wedding and worked with Ranbir Uncle for two events, one at a Gurudwara and another for lunch buffet at The Grove in Cedar Grove. He was wonderful to work with!! We got to do a tasting with our family and choose our dishes. He suggested different things as we were hosting two events. The first day we felt the dishes were a little too spicy for our guests, so we asked them to make the lunch a little less spicy for our main wedding day and they did it with no hesitation. Absolutely an incredible company to work with and I would highly recommend them!

I came here for lunch with my Aunt and Uncle for the first time as they live Wyckoff. All of us ordered different dishes and everything was outstanding! The food was full of flavor, very fresh, well presented, and the service was superb. The staff were very kind and it was truly a great experience. Highly recommend this being you top choice for Indian food:)

Very nice staff/service and very good food. Haven't been to an Indian restaurant with seafood on the menu before. The crab dish was excellent and I'm looking forward to trying the other seafood options. The first time I ordered was take out which was well packed and delicious so that is another option. Overall I recommend checking it out. The Atom Bomb dessert was great as well as the homemade orange ice cream.
