Taking to Instagram, Vikas shared his picture with the Tricolor and wrote, “260 days of Bungalow and today we received the Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award. While I’ve previously received the Michelin Star 8 times, today felt different. I felt that it was for some higher purpose, it was like a tribute, it was like a promise to my land and to my people. To my sister.”
He added, “This is just the beginning. We will work harder & harder everyday to give our guests an experience that will be a testament to Indian hospitality.”
