Vikas Khanna's NYC Home: Culture Meets Skyline Views

Chef Vikas Khanna has offered a glimpse into his New York City high-rise apartment, which features a minimalist design with significant cultural touches. The spacious living room boasts large windows providing clear views of landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. A striking design element includes pillars in the living space that are inspired by the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Khanna noted that the crowns for these pillars are scheduled for installation on March 23, 2027.

Khanna describes his lifestyle as minimalistic, stating, "I'm minimalistic, and I don't own anything. I'm a warrior for my culture and cuisine in this country." The apartment follows an all-white color palette, complemented by a comfortable sofa and a tan rug. The dining area is simple, where Khanna often has his breakfast before heading to his restaurant. His kitchen also maintains a practical, minimal setup.

The view of the Chrysler Building holds personal significance as it was his late sister's favorite. The apartment also houses a prayer room with an idol of Lord Krishna that belonged to his sister. Khanna chose the apartment specifically below his former employer. He sees his home as a symbol of aspiration, encouraging young people from humble beginnings to pursue significant goals and build fulfilling lives.
