Who We Are

Indian cuisine is incredibly diverse, with flavors, styles, and traditions changing every few hundred miles.

At Benares, our menu reflects this diversity, with a special focus on the food traditions of Uttar Pradesh, home to the historic city of Benares.

With over 40 years in business, our kitchen features a wide selection of authentic vegetarian dishes, as well as a thoughtfully curated selection of meat and seafood—each prepared with care, technique, and respect for tradition.

What Our Clients Say

Stories of celebration, flavor, and joy shared by our clients

Benares was incredible! True professionals who provide some of the best Indian food to be had in the tri-state area…

Alyra

Baluchi’s produced quality indian food for large scale, back-to-back events for us, both with expansive menus in kitchen conditions that were less than ideal since our events were outdoors. This is a very difficult thing to do and they were able to pull it off. The wedding reception buffet display was attractive and bountiful ….

Shelli

Shreekant was fantastic to work with. The food was delicious. Everyone especially enjoyed the falafels during the cocktail hour. For an engagement party the quaintly & the variety was good. However we are planning to hire Baluchis for our wedding but we need more flexibility in terms of how much food and different types of food.
