Priyanka Chopra Jonas launches her first restaurant
Priyanka made the announcement on Saturday on Twitter. The Mary Kom star wrote that she was ‘thrilled’ to present the restaurant, which she has named ‘SONA’. She wrote that she had ‘poured’ her love for Indian food into the restaurant and termed it as an ‘embodiment of timeless India and the flavours’ that she grew up with.
Peecee also lavished praises on Chef Hari Nayak, who is helming the venture, calling him a ‘masterful talent’, who would take the customers on a food journey through her ‘amazing country.' She added that the eatery was opening later this month, and expressed her excitement to see her fans and followers at the restaurant.
The plans were not sudden or one that was made recently, as the puja was held at the venue in September 2019. She shared pictures of her husband Nick Jonas too during the rituals and her mother Dr Madhu Chopra was also present.
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.
