Varanasi Chefs Menu

Varanasi Chefs is an Indian restaurant at 142 Battersea High Street. The kitchen combines established favourites with regional specialities and imaginative fusion dishes, using fresh ingredients and a broad range of herbs and spices. Evening service, table reservations, collection and delivery make the restaurant useful for both a relaxed meal and dinner at home.

Starters range from papri chaat, aloo tikki and onion bhaji to samosas, lamb dumplings and chilli paneer. Chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetable choices bring together crisp textures, yoghurt, tamarind and freshly made chutneys. These smaller dishes offer a lively introduction to the sweet, sour, savoury and spicy flavours developed across the larger menu.

The tandoor gives marinated chicken, lamb, duck, paneer, salmon and king prawns a smoky surface while keeping the centre tender. Mixed grills allow several preparations to be shared at the table. Biryani layers fragrant basmati rice with vegetables, chicken, lamb or prawns and is accompanied by vegetable curry, creating a complete and aromatic main course.

Chef specialities include curries shaped by coconut, curry leaves, fenugreek, pickling spices, chillies and rich tomato sauces. Traditional bhuna, rogan josh, jalfrezi, madras and korma sit beside seafood recipes, duck dishes and an extensive vegetarian selection. Lentils, spinach, aubergine, okra, rice and fresh breads provide the accompaniments for a balanced Battersea feast.
