NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Berk Communications, a leading boutique public relations firm specializing in travel, food and beverage, sports and luxury lifestyle brands, today announced that it has been retained by acclaimed restaurant, Junoon, to serve as agency of record.

Berk will be charged with leading media and influencer strategy to raise awareness of the critically-acclaimed New York City restaurant in the U.S. and beyond. The account will be managed within the agency's Food & Beverage practice out of its New York office.

"We are very excited to work with Berk Communications to introduce Junoon to a more diverse audience and showcase our unique take on Indian cuisine," said Rajesh Bhardwaj, owner of Junoon. "Berk has shown tremendous enthusiasm for our food and the work of our Executive Chef Akshay Bhardwaj."

The announcement comes on the heels of Junoon being awarded its seventh consecutive star, making it the only Michelin-starred Indian restaurant in New York City. Executive Chef Akshay Bhardwaj is also one of the youngest chefs to be recognized for this coveted award.

Junoon, which means "passion" in Hindi, delivers on the promise of its name with an authentic, yet elegant and modern take on Indian cuisine. Restaurateur Rajesh Bhardwaj, who remains inspired by his love for his native Indian food and culture, assembled a talented team to create a world-class restaurant that would redefine how Indian cuisine is presented on the international gastronomic stage.

"Junoon is one of the true culinary gems in New York and we couldn't be prouder to add them to our quickly growing roster of food and beverage clients," said Ron Berkowitz, President of Berk Communications.
