Priyanka Chopra made headlines last month with the opening of her new restaurant in New York’s Flat Iron district along with old friend and Manhattan entrepreneur Maneesh Goyal.
When asked, Maneesh said there were no good Indian restaurants in New York that could offer your taste buds the satisfaction of eating delicious Indian cuisine. If at all, there were a few late night dhabas and hole-in-the-wall food joints.
“With a shared creative vision and love for food, he asked Chopra to be his restaurant partner and the rest, as they say, is history “

The name ‘Sona’ was Nick Jonas’s idea. He had picked up the meaning of this word at his wedding in India. Goyal shared that they were quick to contact their attorneys to make sure they could use the name.
“By the end of that night, we had already emailed the trademark attorneys!”
