**New York, NY** – Chef Vikas Khanna’s Bungalow, a charming Indian restaurant inspired by the British-era, is still going strong after eight months. The eatery, which opened in March, has captured the hearts of New Yorkers and food lovers from around the globe.
Bungalow’s unique vintage vibe, curated by Khanna, restaurateur Jimmy Rizvi, and designer Shaila Rizvi, evokes nostalgia for the diasporic community. The space transports diners back to the elegance of India’s historic country clubs.
“Almost 8 months of pure blessings,” Khanna shared on X (formerly Twitter). “For an Indian-Indian restaurant to be sold out in seconds every day was only possible because of all your love. Every Single Day.”
The restaurant has attracted a slew of celebrity guests, including the Ambanis, Shah Rukh Khan, and several Hollywood stars. The lounge’s décor, featuring a brick-red bookshelf filled with Khanna’s curated collection of Indian cookbooks, adds a personal touch, making Bungalow feel like a home away from home.
“We really wanted to touch on the bygone era of India that you don’t see anymore,” Chef Khanna explained to Vogue. “As immigrants, we leave so much behind when we migrate, and I want to curate those elements to revive a sense of home.”
Khanna also recently extended congratulations to former President Donald Trump on his election win, reminding him of a promise made during their meeting in 2020 to cook Indian cuisine at the White House.
Bungalow continues to be a popular destination for those seeking an authentic and unforgettable Indian dining experience.
