Priyanka Chopra enjoys dinner at Vikas Khanna’s Bungalow in NYC; chef dedicates ceiling decor to Malti Marie

Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently stepped out for a cosy dinner at celebrity chef Vikas Khanna’s restaurant, Bungalow, in New York. Accompanied by her longtime manager Anjula Acharia and close friends, the global icon indulged in a lavish spread of Indian cuisine and desserts while soaking in the warmth and artistry of the chef’s hospitality.

Taking to Instagram, Anjula shared a series of photos and videos from their visit, capturing intimate moments, delicious dishes, and a joyful group portrait with Vikas. The chef, in turn, posted a video offering a glimpse of Bungalow’s vibrant glass ceiling — adorned with Sambalpuri handkerchiefs in celebration of the upcoming Rath Yatra and the artistry of Western Odisha.

What made the evening even more special was a thoughtful tribute by Vikas to Priyanka’s daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Sharing the video on Instagram, he wrote,
"Everyone keeps asking why we adorn our glass ceiling every single day. They say, no one even notices… I always smile and reply: It’s not just for the ones walking in. It’s for the ones watching over us from above."

He added, "Today, I adorned the ceiling for Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Thank you @priyankachopra @anjula_acharia for making Bungalow so auspicious today. Today was a celebration of the upcoming Rath Yatra & the artisans of Sambalpur & Western Odisha."

Anjula responded to the emotional post, writing, “Thank you for spoiling us so much, we loved it @priyankachopra.”



“Still in a food coma,” says Priyanka

Priyanka also took to her Instagram Stories to share her appreciation. Reposting Anjula’s video of Vikas setting up their meal, she wrote, “Still in a food coma. You’re the best host, Vikas.”

For the outing, the actress kept it chic and elegant in a black dress paired with a matching blazer and shoes. The group was seen relishing a multi-course Indian meal followed by an assortment of desserts, giving the evening the perfect sweet ending.



A return to a favourite place

This isn't Priyanka’s first visit to Bungalow. In December last year, she dined at the restaurant with husband Nick Jonas and their friends, later posting a message of gratitude: “Thank you @bungalowny for being incredible hosts. And Vikas, thank you for a taste of home.”

Bungalow, located in New York’s East Village, opened in March 2023 and has since become a hotspot for Indian cuisine lovers and global celebrities alike.
