" I’ve frequented Banaras several times, and the flavors are consistently impressive. I particularly love their unique take on traditional dishes. However, during my last visit, I noticed a dip in portion sizes which only leaves me wanting more! The service can be slightly slow during weekend nights. Despite those minor hitches, I still enjoy the experience every single time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Banaras on a recommendation, and it did not disappoint! The menu is filled with traditional vegetarian options, and the taste is unbelievably close to home-style cooking. The chur-Chura we ordered was divine. The only downside was a slight delay before our food arrived, making the anticipation grow. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Banaras for the first time and was blown away by the flavors! Every dish, particularly the Sattu ke Parathe, had me reminiscing about home. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff did their best to keep service prompt even with a busy house. I highly recommend giving Banaras a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is phenomenal! We tried a range of starters and mains, and everything was bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, I was disappointed because I found some dishes on the saltier side, which wasn't quite right for my palate. The ambiance is lively, perfect for a family dinner, but expect it to get busy after 7 pm. Overall, Banaras is a restaurant I would recommend for its unique offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance of Banaras really adds to the dining experience. I felt like I was dining in a traditional Indian eatery. We ordered a mix of chaats and curries. The flavors were authentic, but I found the dishes to be overly spicy for my family's taste, which is a downside. Service was prompt, but I wish they would provide more detailed descriptions on the menu for unfamiliar dishes. " (*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!
