Nice dinner for four, one of whom is gluten intolerant; everyone left well satisfied. Good menu options, including salmon accompanied by a delish orange sauce; short ribs and the gluten free pasta. Nice to see so many gluten free options. Appetizers and dessert were enjoyed by all. Marcello, one of the owners, found the time to converse with diners. The wait staff all worked together to keep the dining room flowing. Can’t wait to return!

We've been to this restaurant a number of times and it has not disappointed. Friday night we ordered dishes we had not had before , each of which was delicious. Attentive staff, lovely ambience. the portions were sufficiently large that we ended up taking home half our entrees and ate them the next night for dinner--equally delicious. Highly recommend.

We had a delicious meal at Benares. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The samosas are always good. My family enjoyed spicier dishes of goat and lamb. We celebrated my birthday with a chocolate lava cake and rose water ice cream. Our servers were excellent.
