Having bagged eight Michelin stars during his more than 40 years of cooking professionally, Chef Vikas Khanna's New York restaurant, Bungalow winning the Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award is even more special, the chef tells us. Being featured as one of the best value-for-money Indian restaurants, this eatery, which is an ode to India’s country clubs, is a dedication to his sister, late fashion designer Radhika Khanna, who died in 2022.

Having opened only nine months ago on March 23, they have served 1 lakh guests and was recently featured on the Top 14 list of new restaurants by The New York Times. But Khanna already has a closing deadline for this restaurant - nine years and three months.
While this is usually unheard of, the chef tells us, “After Junoon, I wasn’t planning on opening another restaurant. The five years of trying to save my sister – my best friend and my twin – it killed me. This was her dream and I am just keeping my promise to her. This will be my last restaurant. We do a fixed 300 dinners every night and will do this for another 10 years. I have 9 years and 3 months to go.”The Masterchef India judge, cookbook author and restaurateur has hosted some of the biggest names, from businessman Mukesh Ambani and his daughter Isha Ambani to actors Shah Rukh Khan, Amir Khan, Sara Jessica Parker, Priyanka Chopra Jonas with her husband, singer Nick Jonas, comedian Vir Das, and more.
