About Us
My Story
Hi, I'm Raman Binning, the founder of Khana.
Growing up in a small city with no desi community around, I often felt disconnected from my culture. However, my parents, like many other immigrants, always instilled the importance of staying tied to our roots. For my family, that connection was formed through food. My mom made food the core of how we bonded as a family.
Khana, meaning food in Punjabi and Hindi, is my way of honoring those memories and my culture. We're here to bring bold, authentic South Asian flavors to the coffee world, not just for the South Asian community but for everyone that is ready to taste tradition in a completely new way. With flavors like cardamom, rose, saffron, and chai, Khana brings heritage into every cup.
Not ready to venture into new flavors? We've got you covered. Khana will still offer timeless and classic favorites, like vanilla and lavender, so there's truly something for everyone.
Our Values
Authenticity
At Khana, authenticity is at the heart of everything we create. While fusion flavors have their place, we're here to celebrate the true essence of South Asian tradition. For centuries, spices like cardamom, fennel seeds, cloves, and saffron have defined our cuisine. Khana brings these traditional flavors to the forefront to honor their rich heritage. No shortcuts, no compromises.
Quality
In a world driven by profits and shelf-life, Khana stands apart by focusing on purity and integrity.
No preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors and dyes.
Every bottle features only high-quality, clean ingredients you recognize and trust. Pure Cane Sugar. Natural Flavors. Real ingredients, thoughtfully sourced. If it's not something we'd proudly serve, it's not going into our syrups.
Sustainability
We believe great taste shouldn't come at the planet's expense. Khana's packaging is 100% recyclable, designed with sustainability in mind from bottle to box. It's a small step, but part of a bigger commitment to doing what's right for our customers and the environment, not our pockets.
Inclusivity
Khana celebrates inclusivity in every sip. While South Asian flavors are our roots, we know they're not for everyone - and that's okay. Alongside our traditional syrups, we offer beloved classics, like vanilla and lavender. Inclusivity also means listening: every review, every email, and every suggestion helps us grow.
Have a flavor in mind? We'd love to hear from you.
