Story of PANNA II Indian Restaurant

PANNA II, established in 1990. At the beginning the business was not doing so good like many small business, so after a year or so the two partners decided to bail out, so Mr. Khan bought their share of the business.

Mr. Khan had a dream, dream of running a successful business that catered to the common people. At the time East Village was going through an evolution that would transform it forever, East Village was becoming the spot for artists of all walks of life. Mr. Khan seeing this change decided to put PANNA II into a work of his own little Art show. So, he decided to go loco with Christmas lights, Red-hot chilli pepper lights & all the paper decorations and this worked because it was original, NO ONE in Little Bengal had such an ambiance.
