Our story

ಒಂದು ರುಚಿಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸ

From a mother's small tava to Davangere's pride.

Every plate of benne dose carries a story. It began at a mother's small shop, with a hot tava, a scoop of white butter and a recipe made by hand. Nearly a century later, it is the taste Davangere is known for.

  • 97years of serving Davangere
  • 2sittings, every day, on the same tava
  • 1recipe, still made by hand
