Bungalow

We recently visited Bungalow to celebrate our anniversary, and overall it was a lovely experience. The ambiance is beautiful and perfect for a special occasion. We really enjoyed the vibe of the place—it feels elegant but still warm and welcoming. For drinks, we tried the Guava Lemonade and a Falsa mocktail (I don’t remember the exact name), and both were refreshing and delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Dahi Kebab and Achari Stuffed Panner. Dahi Kebab was absolutely amazing—definitely one of our favorite dishes of the evening. For the main course, we had the Okra dish and Old Delhi Chole. We really liked the okra—it was flavorful and well prepared. However, the chole was just okay and didn’t stand out as much as we expected. For dessert, we tried the Rose Kulfi. If you are a big fan of rose flavor, you’ll probably enjoy it. For us, it was good for a one-time try. One small detail that made the experience special was the little candy in a red packet at the end. It instantly reminded me of my childhood, which was such a sweet nostalgic touch. Overall, it’s good to visit Bungalow at least once for the experience.

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.

Let me start by giving you important details: 1) Food - Overall 8/10 2) Ambience - 8/10 for us. If you like quiet tables where you can chat, this isn't the place. The restaurant is full for dinner (when we went), and tables fill up quickly. 3) Service - 10/10. Truly a "Atithi devo bhava" vibe. They are vigilant and very good in terms of service. Vegetarian food - I liked the pineapple curry and dahi ke kebabs the most. We ordered the okra dish and the sweet potato chaat too, but I did not feel "omg this is different". On the other hand, the pineapple dish was fantastic! The mixture of spice, sweetness, and coconutty flavors was worth it. The dahi ke kebabs are famous! If you've seen Chef's Instagram videos, this is his personal favorite on the menu, and for good reason. The yogurt is very well balanced with the dip. We did not try the lamb as we don't eat mutton, but the chicken and prawns were good. The dal was good too, but in my opinion, not the star dish of the night. You can take a look at the photos for the dishes, but I would say definitely say it's worth a visit.

Today we celebrated my son and wife’s birthdays together at Bungalow. It was an amazing dinner here. Truly a multi sensory experience! We’ve been following Chef Vikas Khanna on social media and it would have been amazing to meet him, but he’s in India right now to promote the latest season of Master Chef. We ordered Yogurt Kebab, Anarkali Chicken, Chicken Amritsari, Spice Roasted Pineapple, and Rose Kulfi Falooda. The yogurt kebab was absolutely delicious and highly recommend this unique dish. Both the chicken dishes were really good and all the sauces were tasty with a modern twist. The five cheese kulcha stuffed with Amul cheese reminds you of your childhood for those who grew up in India. Rose Kulfi Falooda was wonderful and it has all the classic falooda flavors and looks nothing like it. The atmosphere, service, fantastic desi music, and hospitality is unmatched from the moment you walk in. We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Bungalow!

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.
