NEW YORK, NY – Chef Vikas Khanna’s acclaimed New York City restaurant, Bungalow, has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for 2024. This prestigious accolade, recognizing establishments that offer excellent value for money, marks another significant achievement for the chef, who previously held a Michelin star for eight consecutive years at his Manhattan restaurant, Junoon.
While Khanna has received the Michelin star eight times previously, he described this Bib Gourmand award as different, stating on Instagram that it felt “like a tribute, like a promise to my land and to my people.” He emphasized the award’s significance in highlighting his culinary roots and Indian hospitality.
Bungalow, known for its warm ambiance, vibrant murals, and a bustling atmosphere, serves contemporary Indian cuisine showcasing the diverse culinary traditions of India’s 28 states. The Michelin Guide highlights Bungalow’s unique cocktails and standout dishes, including the five cheese kulcha and yoghurt kebabs. Securing a reservation is highly recommended, as the restaurant is often fully booked.
The Bib Gourmand award follows Bungalow’s inclusion on the New York Times’ list of 50 Best Restaurants in America. This latest recognition solidifies Bungalow’s position as a leading destination for Indian cuisine in New York City.
