Why go

Sona is a $$$$ Indian restaurant with a sharp contrast in the data: 1,206 all-time Blackbird check-ins, but a 3.3 Google rating across 1,473 reviews. On-chain activity is strongest on Thursdays and Fridays.

The best reviews frame it as classy, upscale, and more modern than traditional: one diner called it “modern innovative laid back Indian American cuisine,” while others singled out friendly service, polished tableware, wine, cocktails, and full-flavored dishes. The positive notes are specific—lamb chops, Kerala chicken roast, and the Lover’s Quarrel dessert all get named praise.
