Extending his list of achievements in the culinary world, celebrity chef Vikas Khanna added another feather in his cap as his latest venture, the New York-based restaurant Bungalow, won the prestigious Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award.

The eight-time Michelin star winner took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt note announcing the win. He wrote, “260 days of Bungalow & today we received the Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award. While I’ve previously received the Michelin Star 8 times, today felt different. I felt that it was for some higher purpose, it was like a tribute, it was like a promise to my land and to my people. To my sister.”

“This is just the beginning. We will work harder & harder everyday to give our guests an experience that will be a testament to Indian hospitality,” he added.
