Benne & Brew

Simple · Honest · South Indian

Come for the benne. Stay for the brew.

Benne dosas crisped on the tawa, idlis straight from the steamer and filter kaapi pulled strong. Bengaluru’s tiffin rooms, now in Viman Nagar.

The Benne Way

ಬೆಣ್ಣೆ Benne means butter.

In Bengaluru, a dosa isn’t finished until a spoon of white butter melts into it. That’s the whole idea behind this place: honest tiffin, cooked the way it is back home, with nothing added that doesn’t belong.

Batter ground and fermented in-house. Chutneys made fresh through the day. Coffee brewed from decoction, not a machine. We keep the menu short so every plate on it can be done properly.

Simple

A short menu of things Bengaluru eats every morning, done right every time.

Honest

Real butter, fresh batter, fresh chutney. No shortcuts you’d taste.

South Indian

Recipes from Karnataka’s tiffin rooms, brought from Bengaluru to Pune.

The brew

Keep your circles small and your kaapi strong.
