Sona NYC- Priyanka Chopras new venture

Priyanka chopra a.k.a. PC, an actor, a film producer,singer, and former ‘Miss World’ has now turned into restaurateur, when she announced her new business venture three months back in March. She took social media to announce opening of her restaurant named ‘Sona NYC’ which essentially means gold. She introduced it as a very embodiment of timeless India and the flavours she grew up with. Situated in the heart of New York city, Sona is an amalgamation of good food, art, and celeb endorsement. The restaurant has stunning interiors that reflect Priyanka Chopra’s simple yet elegant design aesthetics.

Two years ago, in 2019 when Priyanka Chopra started to work on Sona she performed all the rituals and ceremonies in accordance with Indian tradition and culture, and shared pictures of her husband and herself performing ‘pooja’ of ‘Lord Ganesha’. Harinayak, head chafe of Sona and renowned restaurateur was also there during ceremony. Since 26th of March it officially started to serve Indian cuisines comprising a variety of regional and traditional food items native to the Indian subcontinent. Talking of the menu, Sona has literally every popular Indian dish you could ask for. Along with Ginger tea and ‘masala chai’ it has Samosa, Idli, Dosa and several other dishes for a breakfast. In main course it has an array of piquant and palatable dishes that an epicure wishes to have for a lunch or dinner as it has Mutton, Chicken, Roti, tandoori, biryani, korma a few to name. PC knows very well that Indian menu is incomplete without pani puri, that’s  why Sona has various flavours of pani puri like tequila pani puri and crap pani puri. Prices of food items may sound expensive as ‘masala chai’ costs you around 400 to 500 Rs. (6-7 US dollars) and a plate of samosa for around 700 Rs. (10 US dollars), It’s nearly same for other starters too. Whereas main course dishes cost you around 2000 Rs. (30-40 US dollars), but then it’s located in a highly posh area where prices just don’t matter to people but quality, and Sona’s been living up to it.

Sona has been receiving admirations and positive reviews since its inception with customers praising its taste, service, and aesthetics. This will eventually help PC to leave her remark in restaurant business, she’s already been a global icon for several years as an actor and singer but it’s time for her to be one as a businesswoman. It’s not like business world is new to her as she owns a production house named ‘Purple Pebble Pictures’ and also has invested in popular app ‘bumble’, it won’t be exaggerating to say that PC is more of a business person now. Hope she succeds at every new venture and continues to inspire us. All in all Sona is indeed an embodiment of timeless India in the heart of NYC.
