What Makes It Awesome?

Founded by Akhil Iyer and Shriya Narayan, Benne Dosa Bandra is a haven for people who love South-Indian food. Growing up in Bengaluru, the couple became a fan of buttery, crispy Benne dosas, so much so that they ventured into the hospitality space and opened a small darshini in Bandra. Bird-shaped wall decorations made from banana leaves and a small community table — the restaurant boasts a minimalist and traditional decor.

At Benne Dosa Bandra, it is not just about buttery dosas. Rather, they also serve delicious idlis, vadas, and drinks like iced filter coffee, vegan filter coffee, and even Horlicks and Bournvita. All of their dishes are prepared by expert chefs, trained in Bengaluru, making sure you only get to savour the best of South Indian food. They have an open kitchen, so you can see these chefs whipping up your order through a glass panel. Watching them ladle dosa batter on the massive cast iron plate is surely going to make your mouth water.

To top it all, they serve your food on eco-friendly cutlery made from areca leaves, with a banana leaf placed over it for added authenticity. In contrast to other South Indian restaurants serving dosas with sambar, they remain true to the Bengaluru tradition and serve your dosa with unlimited chutneys. Spicy tomato-onion chutney and a refreshing coconut-mint chutney for dipping are the most popular here. The crispy, golden exterior with creamy white butter pairs perfectly with the soft, spongy inside of their dosas, making this place a dosa lover’s dream come true. 

The owners here are super sweet and keep making innovative additions to their menu. They keep on adding new food items to make your meal even more delightful. From the interior of the cafe and preparation style to the presentation and flavour of the food, Benne Dosa Bandra is all set to bring authentic Bengaluru cuisine right here in Mumbai. With budget-friendly prices, exciting new additions, and friendly staff, this small darshini is bound to become your go-to for your dosa cravings. Butter up and dive into an exciting meal at Benne Dosa Bandra!
