Extending his list of achievements in the culinary world, celebrity chef 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 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. Khanna has not only earned widespread acclaim in India but also taken Indian cuisine global with innovative creations.

Since its opening in March 2024, Bungalow has become a favourite culinary destination in New York, especially for people who enjoy Indian flavours with a contemporary touch. Many celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and the Ambanis have visited the restaurant. According to the Michelin Guide website, Michelin Bib Gourmand Award recognises the best value-for-money restaurants that offer great three-course meal at a reasonable price.

It also mentions, “What Bib restaurants do have in common is their simpler style of cooking, which is recognisable and easy-to-eat. A Bib Gourmand restaurant will also leave you with a sense of satisfaction, at having eaten so well at such a reasonable price.”.
