About Benihana - Swiss Cottage
In 1964 a new concept in luxury dining emerged on the fiercely competitive New York restaurant scene. Called Benihana of Tokyo, its food preparation methods immediately set it apart from other restaurants. Instead of being hidden away in a conventional kitchen, chefs prepared and cooked entrees at a table called a Hibachi Grill. This Swiss Cottage restaurant, traditional in design, was the first to open in the UK back in 1986. Steak and fish are a treat here, (especially the Benihana Special - an exciting combination of full-flavoured filet mignon and lobster tail) as is the cheery madness of the tableside chefs (count their fingers) wich encourages cross-table banter. During the sunny months, typically Japanese snacks such as tempura, temaki and sushi can be enjoyed in the relaxing garden area at the back of the restaurant. Benihana was recently top 5 family restaurants voted for by Time Out.

Benihana in Swiss Cottage was a great meal. Food was really good, but only at the price available on the toptable deal. Chef was really great at the table.Review
with a little more attention to detail and thought this could be a very nice venue as food and potential is very good. Although service is very friendly, it seemed very disorganised and was too slow, especially considering that the restaurant was not even particularly busy at the time.Review
When you visit Benihana its not just the food its an entertainment experienceVisitors
