A little Bengaluru, a long way from home.
Bengaluru Cafe began with a simple idea: bring the everyday flavors of Bengaluru and Karnataka to people who miss them, and introduce them to those discovering South Indian food for the first time.
The dosas made from fermented rice-and-lentil batter. The comforting bowls of Bisi Bele Bath. The street food shared with friends. The unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed filter coffee.
These are the flavors that inspired Bengaluru Cafe.
Our menu draws inspiration from the food traditions of Bengaluru and the wider Karnataka region.
Rice, lentils, vegetables, spices and coconut have always been part of these traditions, which is why many of our dishes are naturally plant-based.
We're a 100% vegetarian kitchen with an extensive selection of vegan dishes, alongside familiar vegetarian favorites.
Bengaluru Cafe welcomes everyone.
The person craving a familiar dosa. The family gathering for dinner. Someone exploring South Indian food for the first time. A vegan diner looking for something different.
We want the food to feel familiar to those who grew up with it and inviting to those experiencing it for the first time.
From Fairfax to Philadelphia.
