Burmese cooking sits at the crossroads of South and Southeast Asia, influenced by India, China and Thailand, yet distinctly its own. Deep, earthy spices, fresh herbs and a variety of textures – crunchy, soft, crisp, all in one bite.

We invite you to experience Burmese food, from noodle bowls to rich curries, and vibrant salads, a cuisine shaped by history, trade and tradition.

Which one is your go-to salad? 🥗

Our Lahpet Thoke is a Burmese classic: fermented tea leaves tossed with cabbage, heritage tomatoes, dried shrimp, chilli and a crunchy double-fried bean and peanut mix, finished with lime and garlic oil.

The Gin Thoke is fresh and zingy, with pickled ginger, cabbage, tomatoes, shallots, roasted chickpea flour and a crisp bean and peanut mix.

Fresh, vibrant and made for sharing, ready for you to enjoy at all Lahpet restaurants.

Bold, rich and full of depth 🍤

Our King Prawn (Bazun Sipyan) features butterflied king prawns simmered in a spiced chilli oil curry, cooked using the traditional Burmese sipyan method — a technique that slowly reduces the sauce until the oil and spices return to the surface, intensifying the flavour.

Best enjoyed with plain rice and a side of balachaung. Join us to experience one of the bold classics of Burmese seafood cooking.

Burmese Pantry Shelf - Up Close

Balachaung – one of Myanmar’s most iconic condiments: crispy dried shrimp, fried shallots, garlic and chilli.
Lahpet (fermented tea leaves) – a Burmese staple and key ingredient in tea leaf salad, from one of the few cultures where tea is eaten.
Garlic oil – a foundational Burmese flavour, drizzled over noodles, rice and salads for aroma and richness.
Double fried beans – twice-fried broad beans adding a signature savoury crunch to many dishes.

Explore the Lahpet Larder shelf in Bermondsey, or our Shoreditch location for dried and pickled ingredients from the Burmese pantry.

If you love vanilla, wait until you try pandan. 🌿

Often called “the vanilla of Southeast Asia”, pandan leaves are known for their naturally sweet, fragrant aroma. In our Pandan & Coconut Crème Brûlée, fresh pandan is infused into silky coconut custard, layered with jaggery sago and finished with a perfectly caramelised sugar top.

A delicate Burmese-inspired twist on a classic dessert.

Gin, orange curaçao, lime and bitters — bright, crisp, timeless.

First mixed at the legendary Pegu Club in 1880s Yangon, this refined gin classic has travelled far beyond its origins.

More than a simple gin sour, the addition of orange curaçao and bitters transformed it into a bright, refreshing escape from the tropical heat.
