It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-week window.
Bungalow is Vikas Khanna's East Village room, opened in 2024 with an Indian menu and a dining room that landed inside the city's top 25 on the secondary market within months. The room runs as much as a scene as a kitchen, and the 8-to-10pm tables clear immediately.
Resy opens two weeks ahead. Weekend prime tables go in the first minute; weeknights and earlier seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for a shorter menu most nights.

How do I get a reservation at Bungalow?
Name Bungalow and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.
Why is Bungalow so hard to book?
Bungalow is one of the most in-demand tables in East Village. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.
When do Bungalow reservations open up?
Bungalow releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
How much does it cost to book Bungalow through The Elusive List?
One flat fee, charged only when we confirm your table. No table, no charge. Sign in to see the exact fee for Bungalow.
