This restaurant exceeded our expectations as it is definitely not your average Indian restaurant. Right from the moment you set foot into the restaurant your unique fine dining experience begins. The decor is breathtaking, the food is amazing the service is impeccable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and be prepared to be waited on hand and food especially if your waiter is Abdul !. Thank you to everyone at Varanasi for making my daughters birthday so special as you all made her feel that way too.

The atmosphere and interior is great but the food isn't worth what you pay. The waiter was 'over friendly' and didn't seem to understand the concept of personal space.

Service was poor and the crowd was rowdy upstairs. Ruined a very expensive night out. The waiters were forgetful and we had to deal with poor service throughout. No one came to take our starters order after giving us the menu.

Great atmosphere and decor. Some good food although some items on the menu especially the curry’s are mediocre and standard, much better Indian cuisine elsewhere.

This is the third time I went Varanasi and I’m not impressed at all with their service. When we gave feedback to one of the waiters he was extremely rude. Would never step a foot in there again!

The place itself is stunning, the service was good, however the food was disappointing. I am not a fussy eater, but the starter tasted of detergent. it had the same smell as the warm towels we were given to wipe our hands at the end. They did kindly replace my starter with another, along with a friends, but normally the starters are the best part of the meal, it wasn't the case here. In fairness the mains were quite nice. When it came to the bill, they gave us our second round of drinks for free, but forgot to deduct the deposit we had paid. We were still happy to pay the service charge, as the waiters were good, but the kitchen need to sort out their prep areas - as the food tasted as if it has been detergent washed! for that reason unfortunately I wouldn't go there again. Such a shame because its such an impressive venue.

Overpriced and small portions. Waiters try too hard to be friendly and it becomes weird and overbearing because they’re constantly on your case all the time

Recently booked to go to Varanasi for my son's graduation. Really pleasant atmosphere. Food was really good and well presented. Faz was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave us many suggestions. He put our mind at ease and we felt very comfortable. The decor was very grand and very picturesque. Thank you very much Faz for your hospitality. Will definitely be coming again :)

Found the service rushed considering the restaurant wasn't busy and had up to 3 waiters serving per table. Menus could be much easier to read especially if you are sitting in a dimmer part of the restaurant. Other than that, great friendly welcoming staff and flavoursome fine dining authentic Indian cuisine in an incredible setting make this the perfect place for a special occasion.
