Atul Kochhar's Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant — Indian flavours at their most refined.

About Benares
Benares in Mayfair is chef Atul Kochhar's flagship — a Michelin-starred modern Indian restaurant named after India's holiest city. Atul Kochhar was the first Indian chef to win a Michelin star in the UK, and Benares reflects his philosophy: classical Indian ingredients treated with the same rigour as any fine European kitchen.
The two drinks featured here — Thandai (the sacred North Indian festival drink, reimagined for the fine dining table) and Pomegranate Rose Fizz (a Mughal-inspired sour) — are built on traditions that run deep in Indian culture. At Benares, they are presented with the precision and elegance that a Michelin kitchen demands.
