"Pranna has a great Saturday brunch party. It's a must-try with a live DJ and even livelier crowd. I do, however, miss the steak & eggs dish which used to be on the menu before."

"This was my third time attending Brunch at Pranna, and honestly this was my BEST experience yet. Definitely had a wonderful time with my friend, who also LOVES coming to Pranna for their brunch party. I don't think any place can top Pranna's brunch party. Although the price for brunch was raised from $32 to $38, it was WORTH IT! Food and unlimited drinks were great. Will certainly be coming again, and again. =]"

"I made reservations a few days before for saturday brunch for 5 people. When the hostess went to seat us she brings us to 5 seats in a row at the bar! I was like are you serious? I definitely wasn't expecting that and my friends and I were not happy about that considering that wasn't even a table! We spoke to the manager and he then took us downstairs where it was empty! and gave us a table. It was extremely loud but a fun spot. I prob won't go back for brunch as the food was mediocre."

"Everything was amazing! We were celebrating my sister's 29th birthday and it was our first time there. I loved the pics online and decided to try it out and i was floored by the decor. The staff was very friendly and generous, especially when we ran a few minutes late. I just called and they were very understanding. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely go back and so will my family!"

"We were a party of four and sat in the dining room in the back which was pleasant and more quiet than the bar area. The service was very good but there were some long waits between courses. My raspberry mocktail was a bit too sweet. The lamb kabob and chicken tikka masala were very good and you can really taste the fresh spices. The sauce for the chicken was a bit soupy and it was hard to cut the chicken in such a deep bowl. The bok choy and mushroom side was nice but a bit salty. The appetizers, vegetable dumplings, pork buns and duck rolls, were good but not that memorable. The hot tea was delicious, the leaves were fresh not bagged. The menu has a lot of options, from Indian to Thai, so I would go back to try other things."

"The food is over priced and lack-luster but everything else is great. If you are young and want to continue Saturday night's party with your friends while you eat brunch, this is the place for you. There is a DJ at Sunday brunch and he DJ's like he never left the club. It is very loud but the music is fun (if you enjoy club dance music.) The brunch is $38 but that has to be because of the unlimited drinks. The food was so unimpressive, I wonder how much it would cost without the unlimited drinks. It should cost $10 because though they advertise the main dish in the meal description, your plate is loaded with mostly salad and french fries. I dont even like french fries."

"I would not recommend Pranna for a Sunday brunch. Particularly for a group of 2.
The main issue was that I was told there were no tables for two in the entire restaurant other than the front by the door/bar where large groups of people congregate to wait to be seated. I felt like I was eating in the middle of a hotel lobby. There was plenty of open space in the restaurant, and I obviously had a reservation via open table, but was told they only seat groups in the restaurant?
The service was very slow, took at least 20 minutes to clear finished plates off the table, forever to get refills, etc.
The food was fair, not bad but but not anything I could recommend."

"Food and space was great! However, the service certainly needed help. It took several requests to get a drink menu and then that took a long time for us to get the drinks (halfway through our main meal), yet there was only 2 other tables. Wait staff did not understand the menu nor understood what we ordered.Overall, great food but wait staff really needs training."

"Loved the space. Menu looked so good we couldn't decide what to order!! Ended up just getting small plates. The potato croquettes stuck out the most! So quaint but so delicious!!
Ask for the happy hour specials! I wish I could remember the name of the drink we had but it was one of the best I've had in a loooong time! Cocktails are hardly memorable!

"although the food was pretty good the setting was not. Pranna was not a warm place. very large space and not atrractive at all. The piped in music was awful. Sat by a window and we were cold."

"20% Tip is included with parties of five or more. I asked servers for recommendations and the waitress did not even offer suggestions or explain the different dishes. Barely paid attention to our party. Waited for refills of drinks for more then 20 minutes when restaurant was empty. Food was mediocre, will not return for bad service."
