good ambience... nice place to hang out with friends.. if you are from subramanya pura or uttaralli.. and looking for decent place to take your gal for a date , then this would be a good choice.

service was bit late , they can work on prices. feels over priced for all items.

apart from pricing , would give good ratings for all.

A house turned into a new boutique restaurant. Each room has the capacity to seat 2 families. One needs to order from the counter, where you have a choice of italian and dosas. The owner is a pleasant guy, who helps with the order. The pasta was freshly made with the sauce at the bottom and the boiled pasta on top. The dosa was very tasty with little oil. Have a nice list of mocktails and we finished the meal with a cup of hot chocolate, which was strong and nice. They have an attached bakery too. The owner takes pride about the fact that they make all the ingredients including the pizza base, pasta, bread etc. Worth a try if you are on that side of town.

Nice family restaurant. Food is tasty and service is excellent. The menu on the black board was in Kannada and the owner and her daughter were really sweet to explain the menu and infact brought in some food samples to decide on the order. Mangalorean style food served but do not expect a huge spread and choice. Small but nice place.

This is best place if you want to spend good time with friends eating light snacks and filtered coffee. prices are low as compared to ambiance Benaka Cafe has. They have less items in menu which is ok in my opinion. It is little unexplored because of its location. Otherwise overall experience at Benaka Cafe is better than any other cafe in that area. Must visit place for all foodies.

This is very near to uttarahalli circle and not a hotel like environment. The cafe is built inside a home. They have reused the living rooms, etc to form this cafe. They do not have too many varieties like hotels, but sufficient enough to satisfy south Indian homely food craving taste buds. I have tried most their available items for breakfast and liked almost everything. Their coffee is just a homely one. You do not get tea here. Must try items - kadubu with red chutney , ghee masala dosa with red chutney, (well I am addicted and biased towards their red chutney), coffee. Cleanly maintained, very good soft spoken homely service. Little highly prices but worth it.

Tips: observe the table height before picking one. They have very low height tables placed in the central dining area which makes difficult for your lengthy legs. Better to pick a table in billing area. 
Car parking I'd not available, you to park in a nearby lane.

The ambience of this place makes you feel good once you enter. Though the food menu is limited to chat and dosa varieties, the taste gives pleasure to your taste buds. We had ordered Aloo Puri, Tikki Sev, Onion Dosa, Benne Khali Dosa, Raja Special, Open Masala Dosa. Out of these everything tasted good. Open Masala Dosa was outstanding. Don't miss to have Kashaya at the end. You need to wait for sometime to get your order served.

Tucked in a non-descript  road,  on a one way road from Uttarhalli - Subramanyapura road, this quaint little cafe offers traditional south Indian (more like Mysore, South Canara) snacks, break fast.
We have been visiting this restaurant almost every weekend for the past 6 weeks.  Usually, I tire out easily after visiting the same restaurant multiple times.  But there is something in Benaka which makes me and my family go there again and again with friends.
The price is right, food is delicious, the brother-sister pair of hosts, sometimes assisted their parents and other support staff are very friendly, the table/decor reminds of old mysuru style 'thindi' on granite topped tables.  City bred kids who may not prefer traditional south Indian snacks every time, have the option of settling in for mangluru buns and milk shakes.
I have relished masale dosay, onion dosay, kayi dosay, bonda soup, shavige in my multiple visits.

Take the time to enjoy the food, have a conversation.  Certainly not a 'fast food' or 'Darshini' style thindi place.  Though Benaka offers Take home service, I preferred the Cafe dining experience rather than bringing the food home.

It is one of the best places to hang out in and around Uttarahalli. It is a simple and an authentic cafe which  is situated in the cross road  opposite to St Anthony's Church. It's pretty easy to identify and if you by chance don't find it, They are always there to guide you as they will pick your call right away. This is run by a very friendly and Humble family. It's a self service Cafe. As soon as you enter you will feel very Comfortable and homely because of their  Friendly nature, Authentic theme, Neatness and smiling faces. 

The food in this cafe is amazing. The service is pretty quick too.. One of my most favorite dish is the Ghee Roast Masala Dosa. It is very Crispy and Delicious. There are various types of Dosa's such as Onion Dosa and Kaai dose  which are tasty as well. We also get different types of Buns,  Akki Kadabu, Shavige, Bonda soup etc., which is very tasty as well.  As Kids these days prefer Chats rather than the South Indian dishes It's a perfect treat for the Kids and as well as for the elders as they even serve Milkshakes and Dry chats in the evenings.  They do not serve tea except for Iced Tea and lemon tea.. Coffee is available..

Me and friends would definitely be one of your permanent customers :)

If you are looking for a place with a home stay like ambience and Bengaluru food, this is the perfect spot! We ordered benne masala dose, Mangalore buns and a variety of chats and they were all good.

I was always eager to try this place out and it happened last week. We stopped to check the menu and ended ordering some dishes. We relished every bite. The place is a typical homely atmosphere. The list of dishes on thw menu board is very similar to what you find in other hotels..but the best part is the taste. We really liked it and would like to frequent the place for short eats.

Visited this restaurant yesterday after looking at their reviews and hearing small talk about an upcoming south Indian cafe styled restaurant in uttarahalli.....
First off I am really proud and glad that finally a good looking themed cafe has opened in the vicinity of kumaraswamy layout uttarahalli combined .....so great job with that guys !

Coming to the restaurant ....
I wish it was located in main road so that people could get to know easily that there is a new restaurant sadly its in a cross but still visible..
The place indeed looks amazing....they have done a really good job of converting a house to a restaurant ...really good ambience giving that authentic south Indian wood theme with some famous paintings also the seating style etc...( tall people will suffer for seating as they
low benches :P )

Coming to the food ....I ordered a open masala ghee roast dosa ....churmuri and buns which amounted to 110 bucks which was a little surprising ...considering in normal darshini u get dosa for 45 bucks ,buns for 15 bucks and churmuri for about 25 for approx average for 85 bucks total .....
The food delivery is quite fast so within minutes of ordering I was digging into the

1.churmuri(30 bucks)- the first thing i noticed was it tasted fresh ....the tomatoes...the onions....the dish was freshly made and you can taste it...so was really glad about that . I just felt it could have used a little more spice . The quantity was less for the price
2.Mangalore buns(55 bucks) - to be honest I have definitely tasted better buns( I have tasted the buns in Mangalore) ....they weren't that sweet.....so all I could taste was the dough . Definitely not worth 55 bucks for 2 buns which is quite frankly outrageous .
3.open masala ghee roast (50 bucks)- this dish is very similar to the adigas special open masala dosa ( banashankari branch).....but comes no where near the amazing taste of the adigas dosa .
The dosa could have used a little more roasting ,a little more quantity of the aloo and a little more spice. ( I really suggest the owners to try the adigas dosa once with open mind to know what I am talking about )
Then we had a little chat with the owners and their story of opening the restaurant is really inspiring, two siblings highly educated achieving their dream to open a restaurant with quality on emphasis.
They suggested me to try the masala dosa .
4.masala dosa ghee roast(50 bucks) - finally a good roasted authentic masala dosa.....the appearance of the dosa was amazing but the taste 'Almost' equally good......the dosa was definitely the best in the area but not the best I have had till now. Again the dosa could have used a little more aloo.....and the inside of the dosa could have used a little more roasting according to my taste.
5.coffee(15 bucks ) - the owner told me that he blends the coffee himself so definitely kudos for ur commitment ......but sadly the coffee is really not strong....the usual filter coffee we get hits you with caffeine and its like a high feeling.....despite having 2 glasses of the coffee all i could feel is the milk .....unfortunately I have no idea if something is wrong with the blend or in the ratio of adding the milk or in the process of making it. But I have had better for 10 bucks .

Overall really good restaurant with a great future if certain changes are made ...Definitely should visit if your in the area .
Points cut for pricing and quantity- food is certainly expensive for startup restaurant ....either reduce the price or make your food worth it.....cause there are some legendary restaurants in Bangalore serving same dishes for a lesser price .
Masala dosa in legendary restaurants
Vidyarthi bhavan- 43 bucks
CTR( malleshwaram)- 40 bucks
SLV-32 bucks
Adigas- 35 bucks
Strive for quality but also think about common man and how to draw the crowd in the long run.
I hope they take my constructive criticism well ....Will definitely visit again .

This cafe is run by a humble family at their house. It's amazing! Ambience is stupendous! Low seating might make it a bit tough for People who are 6ft tall. But i Loved it. I'm so happy that this eatery has come up in my vicinity. Their food also gives me such a homely feeling. Ghee roast is scrumptious here.. ditto with the crispy bondas. Sajjige is another treat. I truly enjoyed my brkfst here. Will definitely give a try for evening snacks soon. Heard they are equally good.

I like this place.
Run by a family, nice people. The ambience the place has to offer, the varieties of food they have, all so good!
But the drawback is, it's good. Not great. Everything seems very mediocre. Nothing extravagant. And the man at the billing will force you to buy more. Not just a one time experience, many other people have told me so too.
I for one think that this place is really overpriced. Plain dosa was 60 bucks if my memory served right. Everything they serve is stupidly overpriced.

I wouldn't mind if I got my money's worth. But no.
They have food like akki kadubu etc, which is great. But overpriced. I don't go here much often at all. I could eat thrice at a decent breakfast place rather than eating here once.

After seeing all the reviews visited this place on a sunday morning.
Well, benaka cafe is located beside road, st anthonys church. Quite easy to spot this place.
Talking about the ambience very neat and homely atmosphere. This cafe is run by 2 siblings, who welcome the customers in warm and nice way. Self service cafe.
Talking about the variety they serve, authentic south Indian tindis ( breakfast and evenings quick bites) .
Very hygiene and tastes perfect.
I ordered akki idly, shavige, masala dosa, kaayi dosa ( coconut dosa) which was served with in minutes.
Akki idly was nice and tasty with pepper corn crunch.
Masala dosa was yummy and crisp.
Kaayi dosa with combination of sweet chutney was red chutney was blissfull. Loved it.
Shavige was also yum with seasonings and coconut.
Banglore is filled with continental and American cusine cafes but this cafe is for authentic and very tasty south Indian and halli tindis. People who love south Indian tindis I must say this is the perfect place.
Evenings they serve chats as well tindis. They also serve milk shakes and butter milk.
Will definitely come back for chats and neer dosa.
Ambience 4/5
Hygiene 5/5
Taste 5/5
Value for money 5/5 ( they maintain quality quantity and hygiene so minimal price what they charge is reasonable and worth it )
Staff and service 5/5 ( they manage to serve you quickly even though restaurant is packed with customer's )
Over all nice place and made a good start for the weekend.

Nestled in on a tight Street across the densely populated uttarahalli- subramanyapura road on the one side and uttarahalli-padmanabhanagar on the other, one can eyeball a malnad style house with a backlight board with its name from the church. The promoters have detailed the ambience with a homely theme on mind though the seats are placed a little low ( for 6 footers ). I had a chance to try out Shavige Bath and Neeru Dose as a late a evening snack and both were a hit. Tried out Majjige ( butter milk ) and Cold Badam milk at end, everything was made fresh and had an homely touch to it !!

I would recommend this place for breakfast, a late evening snack and a perfect spot for quick homely bite. Promoters Ajay and his sister were kind enough to take care of the guests and made sure they were comfortable and felt like home.

I would give it a 4.5 for the Taste, Ambience and 4 for the service and value for money.

This is one of the best South Indian restaurants I have visited in Uttarahalli till now.

Ambience - outstanding.
Service - really good.
Food Quality - uncompromising
Pricing - Something they should work on.
Hygiene - Inch perfect cleanliness

I have tried the following here:
Idly, Vada, Open Masala, kai Dosa, Masala Dosa, Shavige Bath, Bisibele Bath
Congress masala, Chirmuri, Pani Puri
coffee, tea

I have absolutely no comments on taste bucz its wonderful!

My suggestion to Benaka is know your customers better. Check on pricing ones please!

Rs40 for congress masala and other chats wouldn't be advisable for Uttarahalli as you guys are still growing. Benaka definitely needs more advertisement and this needs to be done aggressively.

Kindly upload a menu in Zomato please, a restaurant page without a menu would not look good.

Your Food Rocks, Your Restaurant Rocks.. Its just lacking a little aggressiveness but I am sure you guys will pick up soon.

Thank you for the good food.

Benaka cafe ! Situated in a narrow lane leading down to uttarahalli amidst a calm locality .
People hardly would be able to notice this serene place . A cafe inside a home is such a unique concept ; kudos to them for bringing it up in a place like uttarahalli.
The interiors are simple yet pleasing , Food tastes good but is a little on an expensive side. Parking would be a problem if you turn up here with a four wheeler as the lane is pretty narrow.
If you're one among those who relish on typical south Indian food , then this is the place to be.

Churmuri was just ok nothing much special to mention. But onion dosa served with two spicy chutneys(One red chilly chutney and Green chutney )  tasted really good.  Coffee was Ok.

Benaka cafe is a house converted into a breakfast place. It's on the road adjoining the Church near Uttarahalli circle. The place is done up very well and the ambience is very homely.
We went there on a Sunday morning. Ordered idly, Kali dose, Masala dose and coconut dose. Also ordered the rice kadubu. The idly was soft, served with sambhar and coconut chutney. The dosas stole the show. The Kali dosas were super soft and tasted awesome. The onion chutney was spicy and nicely complimented the coconut chutney. With less oil and super soft, this was the dish of the day. The Masala dose was nice and crispy. The coconut dose was filling and served with the coconut and jaggery pasyasam. Very tasty indeed. Another unique dish was the rice kadubu. It was flavourful and was served with a spicy and tangy chutney.
Overall a very homely breakfast. We enjoyed the ambience and the food. Super fast service as well. Very clean place. We will surely be paying some more visits to this quaint place.
Great job, Mr.Ajay. Uttarahalli definitely needed a good breakfast joint and you have come up with one!!

This is a perfect place to come and have great morning weekend south breakfast or a quick evening snack.The ambience is really nice and peaceful. The food doesn't disappoint either. This place has a very archaic feel to it which will be loved by everyone! This is one of those places where you want to head out with a hungry family or friends whilst avoiding the traditional darshinis (fast food). 

The food was above par. No particular standout; but good clean homely food. Very hygienic and well maintained :) Sakkath coffee to end it all. Definitely worth a #goHog

After our morning walk, decided to visit Benaka for B'fast. To start... No parking space for cars. Very narrow road. Then you enter this "home" and you can instantly connect yourself to home and mothers cooking.
Very attentive staff even if it is a self service. Had Masala dosa, idli and vade. Dose was simply superb. Just as is made at home and not "that" hotel dose. Idli and sambaar was good too. Vade was a bit too hard. Seating was a bit too uncomfortable. Neither can you sit cross legged like a Japanese restaurant not sit like any of the usual food joints. A must return to eating joint.

Amazing place. Amazing ambience. Proper hangout. Best use of home space. Homely food that can be thoroughly savoured. Definitely a winner. Great job Ajay :)

Have taken away breakfast a lot of times from this place in the last few weeks...
With the exception of sweets (which I haven't tried here), the food is good both on quality and quantity. The food is easy on the pocket as well.
The first time, we had tried their masala dosa, akki kadabu, shavige bhath and set dosa. While the set dosa and the akki kadabu along with the kharabhath were winners, masala dosa looked and tasted just like set dosa with masala in between. It lacked the crispness and the golden brown color it ideally should have; sheer disappointment.
We went in today, ordered for their shavige bhath, idly sambhar, set dosa and khali dosa this time. Though there was maddening crowd and chaos all over, we got our order in about 15 mins after a few reminders. We polished these and were very satisfied.
The khali dosa and set dosa tasted alike, but tasted excellent with the "Bombay sagu" and the chutney they served. Stay away from their coffee; it looked scarily light!
It's good to see an entire family involved in running a restaurant.
Must go to have the khali dosa if you are somewhere around Uttarahalli!

Absolutely loved the place. The ambience is very old Mysore and this used to be like a South Indian darshini a few years ago. Now it is a lovely vegetarian cafe. The owner is an amazing chap who is super ethical and used premium ingredients. We particularly loved the soup and bread. Parking could be a slight hassle but I'm flabbergasted by the fact that Uttarahalli has such an amazing cafe. They also seem to have good coffee.

Fell in love with this place! Great menu, tasty food, satiating beverages. This place can easily become anybody's favorite. Extremely cosy place, even romantic. Calm, quiet, queer, secluded with great in-house ambience. Service is good, staff are extremely professional and courteous. One of the best places in the vicinity. Benaka bakery is another excellent place to buy/order some excellent, heavenly tasting EGGLESS pastries and cakes. 🍰 🍞🎂 Verdict: Highly recommended!

Great place for pizza, pasta , desserts and coffee. Place is pretty clean and ambient. Four wheeler parking could be a problem during peak hours. By the way there are on swiggy.

This is place is very very good! They started serving Italian food like pasta and thin crusted pizza only recently (about 3 months) and they have been serving south Indian food since two years. The ambience is amazing! I have tasted only the Italian food here and it is way better than any of the "big names" we almost always go to. The pricing is moderate, but with their quality, the pricing does not matter whatsoever! They also serve coffee and their potato cheese nugget is a must try. This place is a house converted to a restaurant and one half serves Italian and the other serves south Indian. So, overall these place looks like heaven and surely tastes as one! Only thing missing is music, but then I appreciate the silence, it lets you interact with your family members or with your companions. Loved beneka cafe thoroughly!

Nice cozy place for family and also all age crowds. Great south Indian menu with cold chats available in the evening. Clean environment, makes people to revisit. Personal touch while preparing and serving food makes this restaurant different from other restaurants. One of the best veg restaurant in the vicinity. Low level seating, nice ambiance and lighting with beautiful Ganesha painting and idols makes this different. Benaka café is for class not for mass

We ordered a litchi strawberry cake and trust me, it was one of the best we had after ages. It was so fresh and juicy. Service was also very good. We hadn't ordered the cake in advance, but they made sure I get one prepared and decorated right in front of me, all because they understood the urgency of the customer.. I would recommend to visit this place if you are looking to have a fresh yummy cake. 😀

Good and silent place with good food. I used to love their South Indian food which has been stopped now. But the menu now is also yummy with a homely feeling. Ajay is very customer centric and I wish him all the best

My second visit today and I'm sure more visits for sure. Tucked in a calm residential area in uttarhalli this place is not so easy to locate. A house converted to a cozy cafe. The menu includes yummy deep fried starters, pizza, pasta, fresh pastries , ice creams, coffee and milkshakes. This is one such place where u can sit peacefully and spend quality time with your closed ones. The staff and the owner are very courteous and friendly. You get pastries for birthdays as well. A must try place.
