This bespoke offering embodies the essence of VAHDAM's commitment to quality and authenticity, elevating the dining experience to new heights.

VAHDAM India's single-origin spices were also featured as giveaways in a Bungalow preview lunch with Michelin-star chefs from across the USA, truly putting India on the map. Speaking of the collaboration, Michelin Star Chef Vikas Khanna said, “VAHDAM India has been working on the vision to bring the best of India to the world, and I’m excited to be collaborating with the team again. My latest launch is dedicated to millions of kitchens, chefs, cookbook writers, street vendors, and home cooks across India - and most importantly to our mothers, who have nurtured our souls forever. Both VAHDAM and I believe in India’s rich cultural traditions and are excited to see it grow further.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Bala Sarda, Founder & CEO of VAHDAM India, said, “We are extremely honored and excited to extend our partnership with Vikas Khanna for his latest culinary masterpiece in New York. Vikas's vision with this restaurant is unparalleled, and each cuisine will provide that distinguished flavor and richness.
