Benaras Indian Bistro
The Benaras group's own site, checked 8 October 2026, no longer lists Benaras Indian Bistro at 21B Tôn Đức Thắng. In Ho Chi Minh City it lists Benaras Rasa at 33-35 Đông Du, Benaras Heritage and The Indian House (benaras.club), and the TripAdvisor listing these ratings came from now carries the Benaras Rasa name. The numbers on this page are the August 2026 ones for the old listing, and the address on this page is the old one. Checked .
Benaras Indian Bistro was in TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice listing when we pulled it in August 2026: No. 35 on our list, in that listing's order. As of August 2026 it scores 4.5 on Google from 1,865 reviews, against 4.8 on TripAdvisor from 617. Weighted for sample size, the two land 24% apart on our consensus measure. Our stamp: temporarily closed. Google listed it as temporarily closed at our last check. It keeps its place here rather than being quietly dropped.
