Exceptional experience. Loved the atmosphere & ambience. The service was great & food was delicious. The signature dahi kabab & spiced pineapple lived up to the hype we had heard & more. Mango 3 ways was uber delicious as was everything else we ordered. Looking forward to the next time! Since we were celebrating our anniversaries, they presented us with a lovely banana dessert on the house.

Crying over how amazing this meal was. Every single dish was exquisite and the service was fantastic as well. Go with a group so you can try a bunch of different things. We loved the Anarkali Chicken, Yogurt Kabab, Ammi’s Lamb Chops, Prawn Balchão, and Chicken Amritsari. The cocktails were also really good.

Unfortunately I’ve only eaten here once and that’s only because I can’t get a reservation easily. That’s the only downside. Highly, highly recommend eating here.

Bungalow is an experience. The moment you enter, the decor mesmerizes you. Sweet treats are kept for you to gorge on while you wait to be seated. You can grab a cocktail from the bar while you wait. The paan flavored old fashioned was the highlight drink of the night. To start with, the dahi kebabis a must!! That’s the best food on the menu. All the other stuff we ordered were also very good but didn’t stand out from a slightly lesser priced Indian restaurant. The service is amazing, the atmosphere amazing and overall an excellent experience. We didn’teet Vikas Khanna as he was out for a food show filming and hence missed the best part of the Bungalow experience.

Went to Bungalow recently and overall it was a great experience with really good vibes. One of the best parts was seeing Vikas Khanna greeting almost everyone – warm, present, and genuinely welcoming. The service was amazing too: attentive, smooth, and made the whole evening feel easy.

Food-wise, we ordered the Dal Bunglow and Paneer Lazeez. Both were solid and comforting, but honestly not something I haven’t had before. The yogurt kebabs were a nice standout – good, a little different, and really enjoyable.

Dessert surprised me the most: the rose falooda was so different and delicious that even though I’m not a sweet-tooth person, I couldn’t stop after the first bite.

For drinks, we tried Kaali Peeli and lemon/masala soda. Kaali Peeli was average, but the masala soda really hit the spot—super refreshing and flavorful.

Overall: good place, great vibes, and excellent service. That said, I’m glad I went, the experience was lovely.

Here’s an unbiased review from someone who admires and respects Vikas Khanna as a chef.

Atmosphere, the vibes, the service, hospitality is unmatched from the moment you walk in. Absolutely amazing and kind service people at Bungalow including the humble chef. We celebrated the birthday and it was an amazing experience to enjoy a meal at this place.

We ordered Banarasi puri, yogurt kebab, achari paneer, paan sour, kali peeli taxi, paneer lazeez, roti, mint laccha paratha, chocolate lava cake dessert with chef’s complimentary dessert for the birthday person.

Yogurt kebab was absolutely delicious and worth it. Puri was 8.2/10 because the lack of water and too dry for my taste, great taste though. Achari paneer was okay, cooked well but sauce wasn’t my favourite. Just know all the sauces and gravy on all plates are well done and great infusion of spices and modern twist to it. Paneer lazeez was great, would love more gravy than paneer to balance out the curry aspect of it. No complaints with breads, it’s awesome. Dessert was wonderful and would order it again as the sweetness and cake balance is perfect and not overpowering with chocolate or gulab Jamun flavour.

Overall please go with open mind and take it all in. It’s an absolute treat to sit there and enjoy their service and dishes. Would recommend this place, 9.2/10.

Had such a great time at Bungalow! Yogurt kebabs were perfectly crispy on the outside and so soft inside. Anarkali chicken was full of rich, comforting flavors, and the roasted pineapple curry really surprised us in the best way sweet, balanced, and unique. Rose kulfi falooda was perfect balance of sweetness on palate.
Meeting Chef Vikas made the experience even more special. He was incredibly humble and genuinely passionate, which really shows in the food. You can feel the care and thought in every dish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable Indian dining experience.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Bungalow today. The warm, cozy interior, beautifully adorned with floral decor and vintage Indian architecture, made us feel instantly at home. Chef Vikas Khanna was incredibly welcoming, genuine, and down-to-earth, which made the evening even more special. The food was truly soul-nourishing, every dish not only tasted amazing but brought back the comforting flavors of home. Our favorites were the Yogurt Kebab, Spice Roasted Pineapple, Rajasthani Lamb, and the delightful Rose Falooda. Thank you for a memorable meal, we can’t wait to return.

Bungalow in New York is a beautiful celebration of Indian flavors with a modern, elevated touch. Helmed by the legendary Chef Vikas Khanna, the restaurant effortlessly blends nostalgia with innovation. The rustic ambience instantly draws you in warm, earthy, and thoughtfully designed, it feels both upscale and comforting, like a stylish rhyme to India.
The cocktails were a standout. The Chai Pani cocktail was bold and aromatic with just the right hint of spice, while the Mango Lassi cocktail was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced playful yet refined. For food, the Amritsari chicken curry was exceptional and packed with authentic flavor.
Dessert was the perfect finale. The rose falooda was light, fragrant, and nostalgic, ending the meal on a sweet and refreshing .

What truly elevated the experience, though, was Chef Vikas himself coming to our table with dessert and sharing a warm, genuine conversation. That personal touch made the evening feel incredibly special and memorable.

Overall, Bungalow delivers not just a meal but an experience thoughtful food, inventive drinks, and an atmosphere that feels soulful. A must visit for anyone who appreciates Indian cuisine reimagined with heart and finesse.

Visiting Bungalow at NYC was an amazing experience. Getting the reservation was really challenging, the reservation is done online 20 days in advance and it gets fully booked within a couple of minutes. Nevertheless they offer you some places in the bar area if you walk in without reservations. I contacted them earlier in mail and confirmed the foods are Halal, and the server also confirmed.

Coming to the dishes, we tried a full 3 course meal with appetizers, entrees and desserts as they recommend. As appetizers we tried yogurt kabab and shrimp balchao cones. Both of them were amazing but the yogurt kabab was unique. As entree we took the lamb curry and chicken biryani. They were different from traditional Indian places but nothing too extraordinary. The desserts were really nice and they also offer a complementary dessert outside of the menu if you’re celebrating something. Celebrity Chef Vikas looks after all the guests and greets every table seeking feedback on the food.

The reservation is challenging, the foods are somewhat expensive but still these are completely worth it and I recommend Bungalow to everyone.

I recently had the most incredible, world-class dining experience at Bungalow, and it’s truly a must-visit in New York. The moment we stepped inside, the warm and cozy interior made us feel instantly at home. The restaurant is beautifully adorned with gorgeous floral decor and vintage Indian architecture, setting a sophisticated yet comfortable scene for the evening. The ambiance is quiet and perfect for intimate conversation or a special date night.

The hospitality is exceptional from start to finish. Chef Vikas Khanna himself was incredibly welcoming, genuine, and down-to-earth, and his amazing staff provided warm, attentive service that made the evening even more special.

Every plate that arrived felt like a masterpiece. The food is genuinely soul-nourishing; every dish not only tasted amazing but brought back those comforting, authentic flavors of home. We enjoyed incredible, beautifully crafted cocktails, and our favorite dishes were the Yogurt Kebab, the savory Rajasthani Lamb, and the truly delightful Rose Falooda to finish. The personalized service, flavors, and stunning ambiance make Bungalow an evening we will truly cherish forever. If you appreciate top-tier Indian dining and exceptional hospitality, you need to visit Bungalow. Thank you for a truly memorable meal, we cannot wait to return.
