" I had my doubts leading up to my visit, but Banaras blew me away with their authentic dishes. From the rich, spicy curries to the fresh and flavorful chaats, everything was delightful! The service was attentive, and they made sure our dietary restrictions were accommodated seamlessly. It was a bit crowded, but the energy of the place added to the experience. I highly recommend visiting if you love genuine Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Banaras is all about authenticity! The flavors are rich, and every dish feels like it was crafted with care. I appreciate the effort put into making each element of the meal special. The ambiance is lovely, allowing for a great dining mood. However, I found the price for the portions slightly steep. Nevertheless, it’s a restaurant I would highly recommend for anyone craving good vegetarian Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with friends for dinner and we all were eager to try the famous Jalebi Rabri. While the jalebi exceeded my expectations with its crispiness, the rabri was a bit on the thinner side than I had hoped for. Nonetheless, the other dishes like the Kachori Aloo were delicious! The ambiance is very lively, but it can get loud during peak hours. I’ll definitely visit again next time with a bigger group! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner at Banaras last weekend! The Jackfruit Biryani was simply exceptional, infused with spices that transported me back to my childhood in India. The Paneer Tikka was more delicious than any I've had before, perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. Although the service was a little slow at times, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively in India, I must commend Banaras for their accurate representation of North Indian cuisine. The Litti Chokha was spot on, bringing back fond memories of my days in Bihar. I was particularly delighted by the extensive vegetarian options on the menu, all crafted with authentic spices. However, I found the serving sizes a bit smaller than expected for the price. Regardless, the flavors made it worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked into Banaras, I was greeted with the warm aroma of spices that felt so inviting. We opted for some traditional chaats, and they hit all the right notes. Everything tasted fresh, though the seating area can feel a bit cramped during peak hours. I believe Banaras deserves its reputation for authentic and delicious vegetarian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Banaras as part of a celebration dinner with friends, and we ordered a whole array of dishes. The flavors were fantastic, especially the Dum Kaju Paneer. The place was bustling, creating a lively atmosphere. On the downside, we had to wait quite a while for our desserts, which threw off the pacing of our meal. All in all, still worth the visit!
