In 2021, Vineet was appointed as culinary Ambassador for United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland campaign and at the start of 2023 was awarded an MBE.

He had early ambitions of becoming a pilot since a young age, growing up with daily sounds of planes flying into the nearby Juhu Airport.

At the age of 17, having passed the National Defence Exam to join the Air Force he failed to do the same with the required physical test.

Restaurant critic Fay Maschler of the Evening Standard wrote of him at the time, "Bhatia has lifted the cooking into a new league; providing convincing proof that Indian food is capable of evolving".

AA Gill wrote: "It's shaming to point out, but if Bhatia cooked in the French or Italian vernacular, or came from New York, he would be hailed as a superchef".

[10] In the same year of this opening Bhatia was also appointed as a culinary ambassador for Qatar Airways to create a new in-flight dining experience.

[3] Bhatia was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to hospitality and international trade.

With his recent appointment as a GREAT ambassador to the United Kingdom he has been at the heart of the campaign’s efforts to encourage gastronomical sustainability.

[17] In anticipation of Prince William’s arrival at the UK’s country day celebrations at Expo 2020 Dubai, Bhatia gave students from Gems schools a behind the scenes look into his preparations for the celebratory reception.
