A new Indian restaurant has opened in downtown New Rochelle, New York, marking the expansion of a family-owned business that has been serving the community for years.
Mona Restaurant, located at 15 Leroy Place, is the latest venture from the team behind Shirley's India, a longtime New Rochelle favorite known for its Indian cuisine.
The new restaurant offers a full-service dining experience centered on authentic Indian flavors while introducing a modern concept in the city's downtown dining district.
New Rochelle Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert welcomed the opening in a social media post, calling Mona Restaurant "another exceptional Indian dining experience" for the city.
"Building on years of serving authentic Indian cuisine, Mona Restaurant offers flavorful dishes, warm hospitality, and a beautiful new space in the heart of downtown," Ramos-Herbert wrote.

The restaurant builds on the legacy of Shirley's India, a family-owned business that has become a staple of New Rochelle's dining scene. It will be led by Andrew Abraham, whose parents founded Shirley's India.He has described the concept as "the son's iteration of Shirley's," reflecting the family's next generation of hospitality.
