Benares

After opening several Indian fine-dining restaurants across Europe (including the hugely popular Tamarind in London), Chef Atul Kochhar launched Benares in Madrid in 2015 to be an outpost of his London restaurant of the same name. The first Indian chef to win a Michelin star, Kockhar has earned international acclaim for his innovative approach to Indian cooking. He blends traditional flavors with modern techniques to create utterly delicious cuisine.

Benares Madrid carries on the chef’s excellence with a menu of mouthwatering dishes, including monkfish and crab croquettes, lamb shank and tandoori–style chicken. The stylish dining room—designed with groovy-cool floor patterns, modern chandeliers and a palette of burnt orange and gold—is perfect for a chic night out, but maintains a relaxed ambiance during the day (the restaurant serves brunch as well). Be sure to try a dessert, as the menu boasts a tempting selection of dishes that are just beautiful as they are delicious.
