Born in Delhi, Sameer Taneja is executive chef at Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Benares in Mayfair. Using his classical training in French and Indian cuisine and 20 years’ experience, Taneja’s culinary style pairs top-end British ingredients with Indian spices and techniques. Prior to Benares he worked with Michel and Alain Roux at the three star Waterside Inn in Bray, and alongside Pierre Koffmann at Koffmann’s in Mayfair. He is particularly proud of having cooked for the Queen. Before heading up the Benares kitchen Taneja ran his own venture – Indian tapas restaurant Talli Joe in Covent Garden.
