“The idea of Bungalow has been a part of all of us since the moment we entered America,” says chef Vikas Khanna. “All the experiences we’ve lived in this country, all of us finding ways to represent our culture, led us to creating a home for people.”

In America, Khanna is best known for earning a Michelin star for NYC’s Junoon in 2011. In his native India, he’s a bonafide celebrity, with a life that seems utterly impossible. He’s host of “MasterChef India,” graced the cover of Men’s Health India, and was even named one of People’s sexiest men. He’s also written multiple novels and cookbooks, written feature films, produced documentaries, founded India’s first culinary history museum on the campus of his alma mater, raised millions of dollars for multiple philanthropic projects, and has a restaurant in Dubai. With what he says is his final restaurant, you would expect him to be shooting for the moon — not turning his eye toward the past and planting his feet firmly to the ground.
