Modern Indian cuisine with fusion dishes, cocktails, and brunch
"A modern Indian restaurant, Sona is sleeker than it is formal, and tackles everything from Kolkata biryani to Goan fish curry. The menu occasionally leans in a fusiony direction (exhibit A: chicken tikka pizza), with standouts that include dal makhani, crispy rock shrimp koliwada, and a dosa filled with melted gruyere. Stop by the next time you want to feel slightly glamorous in a room with silk lamps and gold accents, and be sure to try one of the fancy gin and tonics." - bryan kim, hannah albertine
"Sona is a fantastic place for anyone looking to see what Indian fine dining feels like in NYC and how it’s evolved from its white tablecloth beginnings. This restaurant is sleeker than it is formal, and serves a long menu with sections dedicated to Mumbai classics and globally influenced dishes (like a truffle malai mushroom pizza, and burrata butter chicken). Remember this place the next time you and your partner want to visit an upscale restaurant for people-watching and excellent gin and tonics." - Willa Moore, Bryan Kim
"Stephanie Mehta, CEO, Mansueto Ventures “Who doesn’t love Sona, Maneesh Goyal’s upscale Indian eatery in New York’s Flatiron neighborhood? Sona somehow manages to feel both intimate and festive, making it the perfect place to celebrate a low-key Diwali with a friend or to host a full-on party with Desi and non-Desi pals. There’s a special Diwali menu, but I would be perfectly happy to nurse a spicy chili margarita and the avocado papdi chaat.”" - jess basser sanders
"After the streets were cleaned and the rainbow glitter was combed out of our hair, New York City closed out Pride month with a lavish dinner at MICHELIN Guide recommended spot SONA. The Indian boîte is co-owned by hospitality guru David Rabin and restauranteur Maneesh Goyal. With Goyal helming the day-to-day operations, SONA has become the spot to celebrate individuality with their weekly drag brunches and all-year events highlighting the culture and cuisine of Southeast Asia." - Edward Barsamian
"Naidu Wines is now served at several MICHELIN Guide restaurants including (onboarding) Sona in New York." - Kevin Chau
