Bollywood celebrities are known for their flair for luxury and fine dining is one of them. Their penchant for exquisite cuisine often takes them on a culinary exploration and the best restaurants tops their list. These restaurants are not only prominent for their extraordinary food but equally famous for their state-of-the-art decor. From savouring Michelin-starred dishes to admiring the restaurant's hospitality, many stars like Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh often share glimpses of their gastronomic adventures. Some, like Gauri Khan and Malaika Arora, have even launched their own upscale eateries. Now, let us take a look at 5 celebrity-approved restaurants this year.
1. Bungalow
The list cannot begin without the honorary mention of Michelin-starred chef Vikas Khanna's New York City restaurant, Bungalow. The New York Times recently ranked it one of the best 50 restaurants in North America for 2024. The restaurant blends contemporary splendour with traditional aesthetics like artistic wall decor, warm lighting and a plush setting. Celebrities who have frequented Bungalow this year are Shah Rukh Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao and Boman Irani.
2. Soho House
Soho House is an 11-story building that features a home theatre and a rooftop pool. A variety of industrial-style attributes, such as steel beams, metal fixtures, and exposed brick walls elevate the aesthetics. Soho House is a favourite of Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor and more.
3. Carnatic Cafe
Back in September, Bhumi Pednekar took us on a culinary ride as she made a pitstop at Carnatic Cafe in Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi. She relished a scrumptious South Indian meal there. This cafe's rustic charm is what draws in diners. Coupled with a vibrant colour palette and pretty motifs, the place is apt for foodies across ages.
4. Bastian
Comfortable seating, chic chandeliers, and muted neutrals with metallic colour accents are the salient characteristics of Bastian. Modern artwork and wooden floors are thoughtfully placed throughout the room to create a sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere. No wonder, newlyweds Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal threw their grand wedding reception at the place.
5. Scarlett House
Malaika Arora and her son Arhaan launched this quaint cafe last month which boasts Indo-Portuguese decor, rich and bright tones and eclectic furniture. The designs weave nostalgia and warmth. So, it was not a surprise that Kareena Kapoor, a big-time foodie visited Scarlett House recently and indulged in the crunchy goodness of chicken wings.
