If you are a big group looking to celebrate a non-classy/cheap birthday, a going away, a welcome back, a WHATEVER.. Milon & Pana II are the places to go. These two Indian restaurants are located next to each other on 6th St and 1st Ave in the East Village. They both appear to be almost identical inside and out. They are jam packed with bright Christmas tree and chili pepper lights, adding to the slightly cheesball/charming ambiance. The music inside can only be described as "Bollywoodesque"... and beware for the lowering of the lights and the blasting of the music if it's your birthday.
These restaurants are BYOB (looking for a cheap wine to take? Check out Trader Joe's Charles Shaw wines- a.ka. the "two buck chuck") keeping the costs of the night down to a minimum. The Indian food is decent (depending on who you ask), and they can accommodate large groups.
For big groups I recommend getting the Tandoori dinner. It is $15.00 dollars per person and includes:
Soup, Pakora, Samosa & Papadum, Main Entree choice of any: beef, chicken, lamb, tandoori or tikka tandoori served with rice, dal, partha or poori and dessert tea or coffee.
Reservations are accepted.
**Disclaimer: Only go here with big groups. Food here is not quality Indian, but the wine will help!
The atmosphere in the authentic japanese restaurant Sushi By Bou is simply magnetic.

Whether you're savoring a romantic dinner for two or enjoying a night out with friends, this space exudes an ambiance that elevates your dining experience to a whole new level, turning it into a feast for the eyes and soul.
