Burma Burma as the name suggest is an Authentic Restro that takes pride to share cultural traditional Burmese cuisine. The food served here is inspired from the historical landmarks of the Myanmar Coastal, forest, tropical, and mountainous cultures within Burma.
The rich tastes and aromas you experience in each bite hails from Burmese roots, yet reflects an amalgamation of all inclusive nouvelle Asian cuisine.
The Moment you enter Burma Burma, you can sense the strength of Burmese roots reflecting from the Decor, Ambience and Aroma that spreads across the room. The Signature Burmese doll wall, tribal cane, jute roof chandeliers, and the mud artefacts carvings depicts the rich Burmese culture and tradition are mesmerizing. We visited during the ongoing festival starting from 5th-22nd June "Thingyan" which is Burmese new year.
We started our course with their "Roasted Paprika Lotus Stem Crisp" served with peanut sauce in traditional Jute Fan servers which were amazingly delicious and appetizing.
For drinks we tried their festival Special’s fruity drinks El Dragon, a beautiful sublime cooler made from Coconut drink with Dragon fruit and elderflower. I personally loved their Burmese Blossom Mocktail, a berrylicious drink with sweet notes of Watermelon, Cranberry and hint of rose. A surprising drink was Nutella and Oreo bubble tea that was yumilicious.

Read moreBurma Burma , the no non-veg, no-alcohol restaurant is a treat for Vegetarians and Burmese cuisine lovers. This place serves authentic Burmese Cusine complimented by hand-picked teas from around the world. Burmese food is an amalgamation of neighbouring cultures like China, North Eastern region of India, Myanmar and Thailand. This specialty restaurant displays a vibrant decor and interiors that is all decorated with Burmese artifacts and takes you one step closer to the culture and place. The artefacts have been sourced from Myanmar . I instantly fell in love with their wooden chair with woven cane backs, a textured grey wall (reminiscent of the weathered stone walls of pagodas), low hanging lamps, stunning Burmese bamboo hats, and framed photographs of Burmese street life . Special mention for the brilliant menu designing-especially the dessert menu which was artistically designed. The courteous staff makes the services look effortless. Now coming to the main part-food, I would love to recommend these dishes-
Samuza Hincho (Samosa Soup)- Our first picks from the menu came from the interesting soups section . Samosa served in a flavorsome tangy soup with spring vegetables and spiced black chickpeas. smokey refreshing flavors with an amazing samosa inside, this soup was a delight.
SALADS- Their salads are phenomenal. Spicy Tea Leaf and avocado Salad- This was a delicious mix of fermented tea leaves, fried garlic,nuts,sesame seeds,tomato and lettuce in a light and flavorful dressing is a traditional delicacy unique to Burma.
Raw Mango Salad- One of my favorite salads which I really enjoyed. The salad had shreds of raw mango mixed with roasted red chilly, roasted peanuts ,lettuce and onion.
Mushroom Steamed Buns- fluffy soft steamed buns with filling of mushrooms. Totally loved it. Must have for mushroom lovers.
4.Burmese fried rice - delicious wok tossed rice with vegetables, white peas and golden fried onions. It paired up beautifully with spicy vegetable curry.
The meal ended blisfully on the sweetest note of a Smokey Avocado & Honey Ice Cream and Rangoon Baked Milk dessert. Smokey Avocado & Honey Ice Cream- avocado lends the creamy texture to this icecream and every bite of it was satisfying. -Rangoon baked milk -a combination of house-baked milk along with vanilla whipped ganache, raspberry gel, fried brioche and almond nougatine with an element of surprise- frozen rose petals sprinkled right in front of your eyes- truly impeccable! Overall Burma Burma is an amazing place to visit to know more about the culture of Burma and Burmese cuisine. Needless to say, we had an enthralling experience with the food being tastefully presented and curated. An extra brownie point and mention for their exquisite dishes bursting with flavors and the warm hospitality.
