Bennie Restaurant & Bar - (Near Westminster, london)

Alexey Subach Exceptional experience with their special Valentine’s Day tasting menu. The interior was nice, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the cutlery and crockery were really great. The bread with leek butter were simply amazing - the bread was warm and custom made and the butter was uncommon and delicious. The scallop croustade was good although the flavour was a bit on the simpler side (classic scallop and citrus combination) - still a good starter. Tuna tartare was amazing, halibut dish wasn’t perfect as the fish was overcooked in my opinion but the sauce was out of this world and put everything in order. The duck breast was truly great as well - tender with a crusty skin and paired well with the beetroot which wasn’t overly earthy. The dessert - chocolate mousse - was a bit on the simpler side and the crusty but was a bit too hard but still the balance was there and this was a pleasant dish with a nice twist of burnt grapefruit. Overall, this is one of those experiences where the value for money is clear. Forest cocktail was great - the flavours were rich and silky. The only small downside was that the cream on the top was a bit difficult to sip with the cocktail itself. All in all, a great place which I recommend especially for occasions when they have those tasting menus as the chef is really talented.

Teresa R I love this place! It’s the first time I come here and I have to say it’s a bit different compared to other Turkish restaurants and also a bit expensive however worth every penny! The food was so delicious, the staff, the ambience there also was live music! We had such a beautiful evening I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try authentic Turkish experience in London and I am sure I will go back again!!!

Kofi Andoh Food was really good, I got small chips and two piece of chicken and the chips portions were good size and the price was cheap as well, it was fresh and tasty and the service was good.

Dermot Griffin Many years since we have been to Elys and it was a big relief, as many department stores have closed, to see that the store is flourishing. The restaurant is excellent, very nice decaf oat latte and a good selection of food.

Ashley Enderby Food was nice but our taste was more on the crisp side. You were crammed in, despite ending up with a good table on the balance of probability, the beers on draught are not full to the top nor is there sauces and sundries easily available compared to others. The food arrived quick and hot so fresh was nice. Good for a bite to eat. On a date or something special then go else where.

Shakib Firzli Amazing Indian dishes. We had the Goan prawn, butter chicken and a couple of other dishes. All were to die for. The service is exceptional too…food arrives quickly, hot and presented so nicely. 5 stars!
