FROM BROOKLYN TO INDIA AND BACK
We first learned about stainless steel bento boxes while racing a Rickshaw across India to raise money for the Cool Earth foundation.
During this 3 week adventure we raced across 2,500km in the Brooklyn Dodger Rickshaw. We zig-zagged our way through remote villages on roads that were either unpaved or riddled with potholes.
For a couple of Brooklyn guys, this was not an issue. We've been training on the Belt Parkway and Atlantic Ave for years.
Midway through our adventure we passed through a rural town on the edge of the Rajasthan Desert, and this is where we met Neeraj.
Neeraj is a local guy who graced us with his presents while we fixed our Rickshaw on the side of "his" road. Super nice guy, and funny!
After much debate and lots of laughs he insisted on trading his bento box for my shirt (yes, he took the shirt off my back). It was a fair trade. It was a nice shirt.
Fast forward and I'm back in Brooklyn eating out of a metal box… and loving it.
It did not take long before we realized everyone loved this bento box. And everyone wanted one; from our co-workers to our childhood friends to strangers in Prospect Park. (Even my ex-boss who had horrible taste liked this thing.)
That’s when we decided to begin manufacturing an authentic stainless steel bento box from India and bring it home to Brooklyn, N.Y. for all to enjoy.
Welcome to Bklyn Bento! We truly love this product, and hope you do too!
Our only regret throughout this journey is not knowing how to contact Neeraj.
We know he would get a kick out of this.

Great products and customer service
The starter kit is the perfect way to see what customers will gravitate towards. I love everything they make, great quality and design. I especially love the neoprene lunch bags with the long strap. Bklyn Bento has also been so easy to work with, very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Looking forward to the next order!

Awesome Experiece + Awesome Products
We love Bklyn Bento’s products! They are high quality items and as an added bonus the retail packaging is so nice. We like their bento so much we’re now using one personally for our lunches :) Also, the company seems super nice and they have a great company give-back where they buy meals for hungry children when customers send pictures of their products being used.
