This is quite possibly one of the most bizarre restaurants I have ever been to. It is tiny, and in a building with 3 other competing restaurants who had people outside trying to lure is in. We were seated at the back near the toilet, which with the door open could have provided an extra seat at our table! The staff were friendly and the food was good. If you are a large group and any of you are over 5'10 you may feel claustrophobic but it was a good experience.

Would give five stars for the food and ambience but the staff was really aggressive. They push you into ordering more. haha. Also, they said we should reserve a table and we did but when we got there it wasn't honored.
Over all I had a great time. Food was really good.

Nunca he estado en India, pero imagino que debe ser casi igual que este lugar. Es un local de 1x1, ubicado en East Village; lleno pero lleno de luces y leseras colgando, música tradicional y una onda muy especial. Garzones y cocineros todos indios. La comida ufffff, exquisita, aromática y sabrosa, otra cosa comparado con las comidas de otros restaurantes hindú donde he estado. Toda una experiencia!!!!!
Not for the faint hearted, but a fun night out. The food is tasty but not the best Indian I have eaten. It is squashy and the food comes out quickly but it is what it is - you aren't in a fine restaurant. It's a cheap and cheerful and I would return again for an easy cheap night out.
Great (but small) atmosphere. This restaurant is great for those on a budget. It's BYO and we had an appetiser, entree and (free?) dessert for about $15 a head. The food is tasty and the portions/options make it a good idea to get an entree each and share.
The best thing about Panna II is by far the atmosphere. The hanging lights make for a memorable experience. However, as with most popular restaurants, they try to cram as many people as possible and you can find that there's not much room for moving your elbows.
Nonetheless, highly recommended for a fun night out.
Great Date Place. Crowded and fun. I liked this place for a first date its cheap, tasty and unique. Great lunch too.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely a great place. One of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan. Servers always friendly, as well as other patrons. Forced into close quarters, it's easy to make new friends. With a great BYOB policy and a store just downstairs, everyone in the place is usually a bit snaked up. Make sure you order the samosas as well as the garlic naan. Great for pairs or groups, just make sure you tell them it's your neighbor's birthday.
