Authentic Burmese in the trendy Shoreditch area

Lahpet Shoreditch

I was curious to try Burmese food for the first time, the restaurant was nicely spaced out and had a modern feel. Seated by the bar you could also see some of the chefs in the kitchen.

The dishes were new to me and came with nice textures, freshness and overall great presentation. I didn’t enjoy the flavours or taste as much, too subtle for me and would have preferred more spice.

The salad was the standout dish, so fun to eat with good crunch, levels to the dish that will intrigue your palate.

Service was nice, mostly attentive and welcoming. Although I probably wouldn’t visit again I’d still suggest giving it a go. 🇲🇲

We wanted to try somewhere new and different and Burmese food sounded exciting. The staff were friendly and welcoming and attentive. We wanted a booth in the window but it was booked and was offered an alternative that suited. The restaurant was relatively quiet and we asked for help with choosing which was given by the friendly waitress. The food looked different and exciting to try when it arrived. The textures, colours and overall visual experience promised a culinary treat but the flavour was a bit lacking in parts. The salad bowl was the tastiest and overall the food was well presented and reasonable, just not wow. Would still recommend it for a lunch date or group outing.

I always wanted to come to this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint me! It was delicious every dish was unique, tasty and well presented! Service was friendly and helpful! The only thing I would say to work In the sitting as I had to wait for my table when there were other tables empty. Apart from that everything was great!

I ordered the following dishes
- it is a side. I can’t remember the name but it is a small plate with dried shrimp and chilli flake. It is perfect to go with rice and noodle.
- the best must be the tea leaves salad. I personally love crunchy things and the flavour is so rich. Kind of mixing lot of flavour but not to much. Must try it.
- the pork belly is so crispy, it comes with generous portion of delicious coconut rice
- ceviche is refreshing, may be a bit too sour for me

This is my first time trying our Burmese food and i am glad i had a pleasant experience. The services was very good. The lady was very friendly with lovely smell.

Vividly recommended.
I have been having dinner twice in this awesome restaurant .
It is such a cozy beautiful venue with such a marvellous Burmese food selection to choose from!
And the service is also excellent!
I will be going back very soon for more foodie’s paradise nights.
Burmese food is truly unique. A must-try!
