June 20th 2024.
In a sad turn of events, the popular New York-based restaurant Sona has announced that it will be closing its doors after just 10 months of operation. The news was shared on the establishment's official Instagram page on Wednesday, with the final service being a brunch this coming Sunday.
This closure comes after actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who had initially been a co-founder of the restaurant, withdrew her involvement last August. Chopra Jonas had joined forces with her friend and former business partner, Maneesh K Goyal, to open Sona in 2021, during a time when the world was still grappling with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In their heartfelt Instagram post, the Sona team expressed their gratitude to all their loyal customers who had walked through their doors over the past three years. It had been their greatest honor to serve each and every one of them. They also took the opportunity to thank their dedicated staff who had consistently provided delicious food and warm smiles to their patrons on a daily basis.
The team also extended an invitation to all their customers to come and enjoy a final meal or drink at Sona before it closes its doors for good. They emphasized that their doors and arms will remain open to welcome everyone until their final service on Sunday, June 30th.
As for Chopra Jonas, who is currently in Australia filming for her upcoming film The Bluff, she had made the difficult decision to step away from the Indian cuisine restaurant last year. The name of the restaurant, Sona, which means 'gold' in Hindi, was suggested by her husband, singer Nick Jonas.
In the short time that Sona has been open, it has become a beloved spot for many New Yorkers, thanks to its delicious food, warm atmosphere, and celebrity status. While its closure is certainly a loss for its fans, the Sona team hopes to see as many people as possible come and enjoy a final meal or drink before saying goodbye to their beloved restaurant.
