Benares Tribeca Indian Restaurant

The food was average. While not bad, I noticed a hair in the curry. When I brought it to the manager's attention, they handled the situation calmly. Given that it was a large party, I did not wish to cause a fuss. They were aware I wouldn't be able to eat the remaining kofta, but they didn't seem to care. While they offered an apology, it did not feel sincere. There was no offer of compensation or any indication of future caution. I was very disappointed. While the staff is friendly, there was an issue during the inspection with finding a hair in the food. The staff did not appear to investigate how this happened, nor did they speak with the chef about the issue. I hope that the next inspection will result in a negative score, as this will hopefully encourage improvement. The food was aver

One of the best indian spots in the city. Located in a great area and the inside is really well done. The owner made sure to pay attention to the small details of the place and the servers were very, very quick. I've been to a lot of service restaurants but nothing beats the speed of the service they had. They always asked if everything was alright. And alright as an answer would be a major understatement. The food was to die for and is reasonably priced considering the area and size of the place inside. Will recommend to anyone to come here and try the food P.S: A reservation is required to eat here but it's really worth it. We got a reservation the same day

Very nice experience and service by Monir and Prashad. I got the Dal Tadka (lentils) and it was excellent. I had a special request to not use oil to prepare my dinner but butter instead, and to be easy on the salt and Prashad happily assured me. Very nice ambiance. My parents said their food was excellent as well.

Benares Tribeca is a great choice if you’re craving authentic Indian flavors with a modern twist in a cozy yet stylish setting. The menu has a nice mix of classics — think fragrant biryani, rich butter chicken, crisp samosas, and flavorful tandoori chicken — and the naan and sauces are perfect for soaking up every last bite. I found the service friendly and attentive, and the vibe feels upscale without being pretentious — great for a date night or chill dinner with friends. The lunch deals are a nice bonus if you’re stopping by midday. If you’re new to Indian cuisine or want a well-rounded meal with bold, balanced spices, this spot delivered for me.

While we were looking for an Indian restaurant around SoHo, Gemini recommended Benares and we never regretted it! It was my mom’s and sister’s first time trying Indian food, and they absolutely loved the experience, thanks in large part to our wonderful server, Mogambo. He was incredibly helpful with his recommendations. We ordered samosas, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, and chicken kali mirch (which was just as excellent as Mogambo promised). We finished with rasmalai, which was delightful. Fantastic food and outstanding service, highly recommended!
