Panna II Garden Indian Restaurant

5.1/10Indian

AI-generated summary

People go for the room, not the food. It's wall to wall Christmas lights and the staff will flash them and play music for your birthday. The food gets called some of the worst in the city, with complaints that every dish tastes the same and the heat is punishing. It's BYOB.

    Both of us where genuinely sweating from our heads and completely miserable the second half of the meal. When asked what it tasted like, I say imagine making a floral tea with gasoline and then lighting it on fire inside your mouth.

  • replying to u/MrCakemeat: Consider yourself lucky on Ninja, that place was fucking terrible, even by themed restaurant standards. Truthfully NYC isn’t the best at what you’re describing, but my top picks would probably be… Office of Mr. Moto Tokyo Record Bar Panna II Garden Sushi Suite 1001

    I went to Panna II on my 21st birthday (which was some years ago) and they gave me mango ice cream with a candle in it and played the Knight Rider theme while flashing the lights on and off. Incredible.

  • Well, my tongue sucks, so I think that place rules. Fun time and it's food that, to me as a low-quality chef, is interesting and unique and something I never make at home.

  • replying to u/EndorphinSpeedBot: Panna II “Indian” food that’s really frozen veggies in tomato sauce. Almost all the dishes are the same and just sold under different names.

    You don’t go there for the quality.
