At 11:00 AM, one new date each day, 20 days ahead, on Resy.
10:00 PM most often. 30% of openings are before 6 PM, 39% at 9 PM or later, and 19% in prime time.
Slightly. 0% of dates for four against 0% for two.
No. SnagRes watches the calendar and alerts you by email or text the moment a table appears. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. We never hold, resell or charge per reservation.
At any given moment, yes. Across 625,043 availability checks, Bungalow has shown a bookable table for two on 0% of the dates in its window and a table for four on 0%. Over the whole record, though, 49% of the dates we have watched opened at some point before they filled: two dates in five. The seats exist. They are claimed before a person browsing at random ever sees them.
We have recorded 265 release events here, dates going from closed to open under our watch. Some were the daily release. Most were cancellations, which arrive at no fixed hour and last minutes.
Open rate at a random moment: 0% for two, 0% for four.
Dates that opened at some point in our record: 49%.
Bungalow books on Resy, and a new date appears at 11:00 AM, 20 days ahead. The window rolls forward one day at a time, so each late morning a single fresh date joins the far end of the calendar. Everything nearer has been fought over for up to three weeks.
Eleven in the morning is a crowded hour, mid-workday, and the prime slots on a new Friday or Saturday go in the first minute. If you want a specific date, be on Resy before 11:00 with your party size set and your card saved; if you want a specific week, the section below is the better route.
Release time: 11:00 AM, one new date each day, 20 days out.
Both ends of the evening, and less in the middle. The slot we have seen open most often is 10:00 PM. 30% of recorded openings fell before 6 PM and 39% at 9 PM or later, with the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window at 19%, which for a room this watched is a real share. Recorded openings run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Read it as a choice. A 5 PM seating on a weeknight and a 10 PM seating on a weekend are both tables you can realistically catch. The 7:30 in between is the one everybody wants and the one that comes back least.
Before 6 PM: 30%. Prime time: 19%. 9 PM or later: 39%.
Range: 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Watch the week you want. With 49% of dates reopening at some point and 265 recorded openings, the cancellation is the route that seats most people here, and it is the one a person cannot run by hand. Nobody refreshes a Resy page every few minutes for three weeks. Software does.
For a specific date, the 11 AM release, 20 days out. A party of four does a little better than two here, 0% against 0%, so bring people if you can, and ask for the early or late seating rather than the middle.
Bungalow belongs to the same family of high-demand Indian rooms as Semma, Dhamaka and Adda, and the pattern holds across all of them: the release rewards being ready, the cancellation rewards being told.
Book on Resy. New dates appear at 11:00 AM, 20 days out.
Watch a week rather than a date. Two dates in five open at some point.
Ask for before 6 PM or after 9. Prime time is 19% of openings.
Four does slightly better than two.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Bungalow on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one East Village dining room opens at 11 AM twenty days out and gives back 49% of its dates, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
