“Within a matter of a few hours, Bungalow received 2 incredible global recognitions.

2. Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award.
Just 5 years ago, my life was my sister’s healing process + Feed India + Fighting for my freedom.
I’d left hope of ever opening another Indian Restaurant. From NYU to Cornell to Columbia hospitals. That was my life.
If it was not about a promise to my Radha, I wouldn’t have started this journey.
Bungalow was born out of promises + heartbreaks + devotion to serve Indian culture & cuisine to the World.
Khanna + Rizvi + Bhatt became ONE for this dream.
Thank you Universe for giving us this historic moment,” Khanna wrote on X.
