Priyanka Chopra was spotted arriving at her restaurant, SONA, located near the Flatiron District of New York City, on Friday night. The 38-year-old media personality beamed with pride as she celebrated the culmination of years of hard work by both herself and her dedicated team at the eatery.

Later in the evening, the former Miss World took to Instagram to share several behind-the-scenes glimpses of her visit to this passion project, giving fans a closer look at the vibrant atmosphere and the efforts that have gone into making SONA a success.

Chopra was dressed in a blue pinstripe sleeved blouse and left its top portion partially opened while arriving at the grand opening event.

The Quantico star’s luscious brunette locks gracefully cascaded onto her shoulders and backside during the celebratory function.

She also sported several articles of gold jewelry that added numerous elements of shine to her clothing ensemble.

During the evening, Chopra shared several images from the event to her Instagram account for her nearly 65 million followers to see.

A few of the images were also reposted to SONA’s official Instagram account, and the actress wrote a lengthy message that was placed in the post’s caption to express her excitement for her venture.

The entrepreneur began her message by writing: ‘thank you all for your support and for helping to make SONA a success. Last night I finalllllllly got to experience the magic of SONA for myself since the opening.’

Chopra then pointed out that she was ecstatic about her passion project’s finalization and that she had been brought back to her roots during her time at the restaurant.

‘Everything was beyond my expectations and for a moment I felt like I was home in India…SONA is truly an absolute dream come to life,’ she said.

The producer commented on how the project quickly took on its final form and briefly spoke about the vision of the restaurant’s team.

‘It feels like only yesterday Maneesh, David, Chef Hari and I were discussing the initial idea of creating a fine dining destination for Indian food in NYC,’ she noted.

Chopra concluded by expressing her gratitude for her collaborators and for those who have already patronized the establishment.

She wrote: ‘I am grateful to see this golden vision manifest in such a wonderful way and am so proud of everyone involved in realizing our dream. Thank you for all of your support of our 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 SONA!’

The restaurant was the result of several years of planning, and its investors began brainstorming about the venture in 2015.

Chopra intended for the eatery to be a representation of the finer sides of Indian cuisine and brought on several figures from high-end culinary institutes to design the menu.

Construction initially began in the latter portion of 2019, although the establishment’s opening was delayed due to the onset of the global pandemic.

SONA opened its doors to the public in late March and has received mixed to positive reviews from numerous customers.
