Jenna Fischer had only kind words for chef Vikas Khanna, lauding his excellent hospitality. She signed off her post by saying, “This dining experience was filled with so much love and care thanks to Chef Khanna who clearly puts his whole heart into every detail. Thank you for a wonderful celebration. I can't wait to go back!”

According to Bungalow's official website, the restaurant “offers a nostalgic journey into India's vintage clubhouses”. The name has a Bengali connection as it stems from the word “Bangla”. History and culture are woven together in this restaurant, heavily inspired by the “opulent clubs that helped shape Indian social life and camaraderie.” Bungalow takes food enthusiasts on a “one-of-a-kind” gastronomical journey catering to “recipes and reimagined classics” found in 28 Indian states. 

Like Jenna Fischer, if you happen to visit Bungalow, do not forget to indulge in their exquisite menu, starting from the Kiss Of Kashmir to Chicken Chitranee and Saffron Panna Cotta.
