Had a wonderful meal at Sona - the owner asked us what we liked and then tailor made a meal that appealed to all 3 of us.

A very unique and delicious place! The owner / chef is a very helpful and friendly person. The food was the Best, and some of the meals were not part of the menu, but a personal offer from the Chef!
Our go-to restaurant in Winchester. Consistently excellent food! I never thought I liked Indian food until we went there...the owner will help guide you in your selection if need be. We usually go with his choices for the evening and have never been disappointed. Wine dinners and special events are awesome too!

Phenomenal dining experience. We searched Google for "vegetarian restaurant in Winchester" and Sona came up. While they serve meat, they have numerous plant based options and the chef customized our meal to our preferences. The service was phenomenal. The chef attended to us personally. He talked through several common additives and allergens that he does not use in his dishes. He asked about our tastes and offered to make us a spread of surprises. Boy are we happy he did. He prepared several dishes, each of which was tastier than the last. The entire family, kids included, was stuffed. This was our first time dining here, but it will certainly not be our last!

If you're searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary, Sona Restaurant is the hidden gem you need to discover. Don’t judge this book by its cover—the modest exterior belies a culinary treasure trove inside. The ambiance within is both clean and intimate, adorned with a decor that soothes and pleases the senses, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal.The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the chef's personal touch. Not only was the chef incredibly personable, but he also prepared a custom, surprise menu for our party that was nothing short of glorious. Each dish was a delightful surprise, showcasing a masterful blend of flavors that left us eagerly anticipating the next course.I highly recommend Sona Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. The cuisine is a bold exploration of tastes, the setting is wonderfully cozy, and the staff goes above and beyond to make your meal special. Don’t let the unassuming exterior deter you; inside Sona, a world of exquisite culinary delights awaits.

I have liven in India and can truly tell you that this is authentic Indian cuisine. I find the taste much higher than any Indian restaurants in Northern Virginia or Washington, D.C. This is the best Indian food you will find anywhere within 75 miles. Try it and you will see that the food here is way above others in flavor.

What a beautiful little place where personal service is paramount! The chef came out and took our order and was so accommodating for my 2yr old to try her 1st Indian cuisine. She really enjoyed it. I loved it too :)

The positives, the food came out fast and the people were so very friendly. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. We got take out. However, I cannot recommend this to anyone. This was actually some the THE worst Indian food I’ve ever had. Got the chicken tikka masala. Tiny portion, terrible rice, masala sauce was mediocre at best and the chicken was awful. Bits of fat in almost every bite, was kind of tough. The naan was literally terrible. I LOVE bread and I couldn’t even force it down. Not impressed at all. I won’t be going back.

Absolutely the best Indian Restaurant in Winchester! I've tried them all and Shiv the owner makes all his dishes fresh from scratch! The herbs and spices were like no other, in fact it was quite intoxicating. Contrary to popular belief, eating Indian food actually lowers my blood sugar and helps with the arthritic inflammation.
