– NEW YORK TIMES

“Bungalow has been conceptualized by Chef Khanna and Bombay House Hospitality; its official page lists very few details and describes the brand as a premier New York restaurant and cocktail bar which is rooted in ‘India’s social clubs of times past’ and ‘reimagines India’s bygone years, one dish
at a time.”
