Priyanka Chopra to Open an Indian Cuisine Restaurant in NYC Later This Month

It baffles a lot of us how Priyanka Chopra Jonas flits from one role to the other with consummate ease. Her journey has been an inspiring one, from a scrawny teenager to winning the Miss World crown to carving a niche for herself in Hollywood to delivering some globally appreciated performances to bringing out her memoir. And she is not done yet. She announced on Instagram on Saturday evening that she is opening an Indian cuisine restaurant in New York.

The restaurant named ‘Sona’ has chef Hari Nayak on board and it will open its doors to the public later this month.

She posted photos from the 2019 prayer ceremony, where hubby Nick Jonas could also be seen sitting next to her. She captioned the photos as: “I’m thrilled to present to you Sona, a new restaurant in NYC that I poured my love for Indian food into. Sona is the very embodiment of timeless India and the flavours I grew up with.” In the same post she thanked her partners restaurateur Maneesh Goyal and David Rabin. Her caption further stated: “Sona is opening later this month, and I can’t wait to see you there! This endeavour would not have been possible without the leadership of my friends Maneesh Goyal and David Rabin. Thank you to our designer Melissa Bowers and the rest of the team for realizing this vision so clearly.”

Maneesh too took to his Instagram to thank Priyanka and called her the “creative force” behind the restaurant. “My kind friend @priyankachopra, who has been the creative force behind Sona. There is no one who better-and more boldly-personifies ‘global Indian’ than Priyanka. Sona is so lucky to have her in our corner. “From the design, to the menu, to the music, to even the name, Priyanka has her fingerprints all over Sona. Love you dear Pri! Our baby is finally ready for the world to see!” he wrote.
