"I've been coming to this place for over 30 years now,"
"Our favorite thing to do is show up with a bunch of friends and an expensive bottle of red and slurp it up with a table full of food!"
"Some time ago we got a little festive and decided to go a little bit overboard with our Christmas decor,"
"When customers said they loved it, we decided to improve upon it, and now our ceiling is adorned with an intricate display year-round."
Panna II is an East Village Indian restaurant established in 1989 that serves dishes such as creamy masala chicken, chicken balti, crispy poppadom, saffron rice and mango lassi. The BYOB establishment features an intricate ceiling display originally inspired by festive decor and maintained year-round. The restaurant experienced an uptick in enthusiastic diners aiming to recreate a televised meeting between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and the owner confirmed the couple visited several times, often dining between lunch and dinner to avoid paparazzi. Longtime patrons celebrate with friends and wine while opinions on the food vary.
