As per the Michelin Guide website, Michelin Bib Gourmand Award is given to restaurants that offer great food at reasonable prices.

As per Bungalow's website, Bungalow offers a nostalgic journey into India’s vintage clubhouses, and the name stems from the Bengali “Bangla.” Bungalow is an invitation to experience history, culture, and exceptional cuisine, inspired by these opulent clubs that helped shape Indian social life and camaraderie.
