Indian actress/model, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has once again proved that she can do anything she sets her mind to. The 39-year-old actress has decided to leave her mark in the food business by opening an Indian style restaurant ‘SONA’ in New York City. The restaurant was open for business during the pandemic and it turned out well!
SONA’s official Instagram account instantly received a number of followers and photos of mouth watering dishes! PC posted a photo of a traditional Punjabi dish and captioned “At last, a sneak peek of one of Chef @harinayak’s signature items on our menu. Kofta Korma [Dancing Ewe Farms Ricotta Dumpling in Cashew Sauce] accompanied by Chili Cheese Naan.”
The idea behind the restaurant
Often celebrity owned restaurants can get into a little chaos. But with a mutual friend Maneesh Goyal the restaurant is all set to serve! Goyal, who is friends with both Rabin and PC, calls himself the project’s “initiator.” A few years ago goyal and rabin reached out to Mr. Nayak (chef of SONA) and called in Priyanka Chopra Jonas . Goyal said that PC agreed to involve but on one condition,“not until I try the food. And then I want my mom to try the food.”
After food tasting of food SONA came into existence. Construction started in late 2019 with plans of opening the Indian style restaurant in New York City in 2020. Due to worldwide lockdown the opening was postponed to 2021.
What is MIMI?
To add more to the restaurant Priyanka disclosed that SONA has a private dining room named MIMI. The post captioned ” AT Mimi’s the events are unforgettable and one-of-a-kind…just like their namesake. We’re the luckiest that, no matter where in the world priyanka may be, she is always at SONA”
Mouths watering? Yes!
