The eight-time Michelin star winner took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt note announcing the win. He wrote, "260 days of Bungalow & 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."
"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," he added.

According to the Michelin Guide website, Michelin Bib Gourmand Award recognises the best value-for-money restaurants that offer great three-course meal at a reasonable price.
It also mentions, "What Bib restaurants do have in common is their simpler style of cooking, which is recognisable and easy-to-eat. A Bib Gourmand restaurant will also leave you with a sense of satisfaction, at having eaten so well at such a reasonable price."
