Madhuri Dixit and her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, recently enjoyed a memorable evening at Chef Vikas Khanna's acclaimed Manhattan restaurant, Bungalow. The couple's visit was more than just a simple dinner; it was an immersive experience filled with culinary delights and heartwarming moments.
Dr. Nene captured the family's joy in a candid video shared on social media, featuring Madhuri, their children, and Chef Khanna himself. The video showcased Khanna personally guiding them through a culinary journey, explaining each dish with genuine warmth. Madhuri and her family also posed for cheerful photos with Khanna and his team, adding a personal touch to the evening.
Dr. Nene expressed his amazement at Bungalow's evolution, noting its Michelin star and three-star rating from The New York Times. He also acknowledged their luck in securing a table, given the restaurant's popularity and the long waiting list, which can extend up to eight months.
The couple enjoyed a range of Indian dishes, including sev puri, rice, and dal makhani, with desserts to end the meal. Madhuri and her family described the food as "divine," and Dr. Nene specifically praised Khanna's hands-on approach, ensuring every guest feels welcomed. Madhuri even shared a lighthearted dance with a fan who works at the restaurant, creating a sweet Bollywood moment in New York.
Madhuri's visit to Bungalow wasn't her first. In the past, she has been seen arranging flowers at the restaurant's temple and generally enjoying the ambiance.
Bungalow has quickly gained recognition for its exquisite decor and innovative menu that combines Indian flavors with a contemporary twist. On arrival, guests are greeted with a vibrant display of flowers, reflecting India's rich cultural heritage. Vikas Khanna's Bungalow also offers simmer sauces across Walmart stores in the US.
Dr. Nene reflected on their visit, "We were thrilled to visit Bungalow again and see how it has blossomed into a true culinary destination,". He also added, it's not every day you get a table at such a coveted spot. Madhuri and Shriram's recent visit underscores the restaurant's appeal as a culinary destination and a place where friendship and Indian cuisine are celebrated.
