South Indian food is all over our reels right now in Mumbai, and for all the good reasons. For a city that boasts of Matunga, a neighborhood that has been synonymous with the cuisine, March has seen quite a few new additions that are going beyond the popular locality, and people are loving it.
It started with the opening of Bengaluru's The Rameshwaram Cafe in Churchgate in the first week on March 6, followed by Karnataka Tiffin Room's second outlet in Bandra on March 19 ,after their first one in Versova.
More recently, Bangalore Room opened in Thane in late March. The last addition has been Benne, Heritage Bangalore Dosa, which opened its third outlet at Chowpatty in Girgaon on March 27.
The eatery made the announcement on Instagram sharing, "Benne Chowpatty Soft Launch Update. We are (finally) opening doors at Chowpatty for limited hours this weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 27th, 28th and 29th March 2026 3:30 pm-11:30 pm We are excited!"
Launching amid the LPG gas crisis, the Mumbai restaurant in their social media post had added that they are operating for a limited number of hours. While it started with eight hours on the first weekend, they will now be open on April 3 from 3 pm - 11:30 pm, and April 4 and 5 from 7 am to 11:30 pm, and have said they will be informing patrons through the medium about their timings, while navigating the challenge. Even through all this, the restaurant has already seen Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone pay a visit in the first week.
After opening in Bandra and Juhu, apart from Greater Kailash 2 in Delhi, the popular South Indian eatery opened in South Mumbai amid the LPG crisis in late March, and is already seeing long lines, just like the Bandra outlet, according to onlookers including locals. The latest addition comes almost two years since they opened in the 'Queen of Suburbs' on May 24 in 2024, before it opened in Juhu in March 2025, and in the capital city in December.
Coincidentally the new outlet is among quite a few to celebrate dosa, or more particularly the Benne Dosa, apart from Bengaluru food, and South Indian food from Karnataka apart from its neighbouring states, and looks like the trend will only build from here.
