Noida, March 6 : Sunny Leone's many talents include being a good cook and her ability to spot the right flavours has enabled her newly opened Chica Loca restaurant at Sector 132, Noida, pull off daring combinations in a menu curated by Chef Vaibhav Bhargava.

Spread over two floors, Chica Loca's decor is dominated by the rich hues of purple and gold accompanied by velvet seating.

The terrace has romantic and breezy canopies.
Everything about the restaurant is luxurious, including the food and drinks, which can cost up to approximately Rs 2,500 for two people, but the price seems right for the satisfaction it guarantees.

The drink is made with rum, mango puree, coconut cream and citrus and catches the eye because of hearts, a rainbow and a 'love is life' edible tattoo placed on it.
