Vikas Khanna elevates Indian cuisine globally with New York restaurant Bungalow

Chef Vikas Khanna's New York restaurant, Bungalow, is a tribute to Indian culture and his late sister, aiming to elevate Indian cuisine globally. Khanna faced prejudice early in his career but used it as motivation to change perceptions of Indian food. Bungalow, opened in 2024, fulfills a promise to his sister and has received critical acclaim, including a three-star review from The New York Times. Despite business success, Khanna remains a working chef, prioritizing his presence at Bungalow. He chose New York over India to raise the global value and respect for Indian cuisine.
