How to Book Benu
Benu releases reservations 30 days in advance at 10:00 AM ET, daily.
Benu uses Tock, a prepaid ticketing system. You pay for your meal when you book — which means cancellations are less common but more valuable when they happen. Released tickets appear without warning, often at odd hours.
Reserve Noir monitors Benu every 5 minutes, 24/7. When a cancellation appears — whether at 3 AM or during lunch service — members get an instant alert with a direct booking link. No refreshing, no guessing, no missed tables.
