About Benne – Heritage Bangalore Dosa

Akhil and Shriya, a filmmaker and a psychologist, shared a deep love for dosas. Missing the iconic Bangalore-style dosa in Mumbai, they embarked on a quest to recreate their childhood favorite. After perfecting the recipe, they realized that the secret to a great dosa lies not just in the simple ingredients — but in the honor, respect, and care invested in its making.

Today, Benne is known for serving food we love, with warmth and authenticity, bringing a taste of home to new cities. We believe in a culture of respect, warmth, and continuous improvement, valuing every team member and the experience they help create.
