Authentic Burmese in the trendy Shoreditch area

Lahpet Shoreditch

You can have a conversation here without shouting. This is one of the too few restaurants in London where, even when busy, you can easily talk at your table without needing to shout. Noise from other diners is nicely broken up by divides & a U shaped layout.

You can be a celiac here. Gluten free options are plentiful.

Dishes are flavoursome, not overly hot or spicy. The flavours are stimulating & pleasurable, curry heat is very mild.

Delicious food, and GF items are marked on the menu. There were quite a few, which I appreciated, as that’s not the case with all restaurants. I had a fritter (GF item, was fried separately) and a veggie curry (also GF). Both were excellent. Their kitchen isn’t a dedicated GF area, but I felt the waitress took allergies seriously - she asked all of my group if we had any.

This was my first time trying Burmese food, would recommend.

Excellent Burmese food in a modern restaurant with good service and ambience! Shared tea leaf salad, papaya salad, hake curry, chicken coconut noodle soup, coconut rice and crème brûlée between three people. All dishes were consistently reasonable in portion, flavoursome and delicious. The crunchy salads and the perfectly cooked fish were my favourites. The chicken noodles were lovely but I wouldn’t have again (personal preference). Highly recommend this place - ticks all the boxes ie enjoyment, quality and value.

Incredible food at a good price - Burmese cuisine is one of the most underrated in my opinion! Pyae was a really helpful and kind waitress, and Min is a terrific head chef! Dishes were super delicious!

Absolutely delicious food with friendly stuff. Super nice place to have a lovely evening. The superstar dish for me is the coconut noodles. Cocktails are great as well

Our chicken is halal. We only have one pork dish on the menu.
