South Indian.

Made for Kits.

Benne is our neighbourhood kitchen inspired by the cafés and homes of South India.

Our menu centres around naturally fermented dosas, vibrant small plates, and everyday dishes that bring people together.

Rooted in tradition and shaped by life in Kitsilano, Benne is a place to gather over good food, great coffee, and warm hospitality.

Made slowly.

Served daily.

With only twenty seats, Benne is built for slow meals, familiar faces, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back.

Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, we'll save you a seat.

Good food takes time.

Our dosas begin with naturally fermented batter, fresh spices, and recipes inspired by South India.

Everything else is hospitality.

Come often.

We built Benne to be part of the neighbourhood.

A place for quick lunches, long dinners, coffee after a walk, and familiar faces.
