Global icon Priyanka Chopra, Cricket captain Virat Kohli, ace designer Rohit Bal, do you know what’s common between the three of them? It is their love for food. And so is true for Shilpa Shetty, Dino Morea, Badshash and more, and their popular restaurants across India are proof of just that. Just like us, our favourite celebs too are food lovers, and they have taken their love for food to a new level by opening restaurants. The best part is that these restaurants aren’t just known for their popular owners but also for their service and food. If you have ever wondered about your favourite celebrity's indulgences, then his/her restaurant is the best place to know more about them.
Here are 5 celebrity-owned restaurants you must visit:
1. Sona
If you are in New York or get a chance to visit the city, Sona should be on your list. Priyanka Chopra opened the doors of this restaurant in March, 2021 and just in a short span of time it has become a hotspot for Indian food. With stunning interiors and a taste of India on its menu, Sona had us right at the first look! “Sona is the very embodiment of timeless India and the flavours I grew up with,” Priyanka Chopra Jonas wrote on her Instagram while announcing its launch.
2. One8 Commune
Adding another feather to his cap is Indian skipper Virat Kohli who became a restaurateur with his own brand One8’s dining bar One8 Commune in Delhi’s Aerocity. The brand already has its range of innerwear, perfumes and sports gear. One8 Commune is a chic, vibrant place with neon light, two floors and an outside seating area. A huge wall glistening with the autograph of the Indian cricketer right is surely a highlight. The menu boasts of array of multi-cuisine dishes that caters to a global palate with dishes such as sushi, fish and chips, chingri malai curry and so on.
3. Bastian
Shilpa Shetty’s star restaurant in Mumbai’s bustling Bandra is a celebrity favourite! And no, not because it belongs to Shetty but also because of its extravagant interiors and a diverse menu. While it is known for its Sunday brunches, the restaurant’s separate dessert menu including a variety of cheesecakes has attracted many with a sweet tooth. The recent trend of ‘pull me up’ cake was also taken to the new level by Bastian.
4. Veda
The interiors of the restaurant in Delhi’s Connaught Place embodies Designer Rohit Bal’s tasteful sense of aesthetic, but it doesn’t take away from food. Delicacies like matar galouti served with oodles of Philadelphia cream cheese or creamy rabri are sure to make you drool.
5. Dragonfly Experience
In partnership with ace restaurateur Priyank Sukhija, Dragonfly Experience in Delhi’s Aerocity is Badshah’s foray in to the F&B scene. Spread over 8,000sqft with a floor-to-ceiling island bar, this restaurant is truly a party hub. The menu has an assortment of tapas and bar nibbles besides a variety of sushi, baos, dumplings and more.
