In Burmese food, the crunch is never an afterthought.
Fritters, toasted nuts and fried shallots go on top of so many of our dishes, adding texture and a hit of flavour in every bite.
What is your go to crispy topping?

Ask anyone in our kitchen what makes Burmese food special and they'll say the same thing: texture. The crunch of fried beans and peanuts in a tea leaf salad. The slurp of a silky noodle bowl.
We cook the dishes Myanmar loves most, right here in London, and we'd love you to taste them.

A traditional dish from Myanmar’s Shan State, Tofu Nway translates as “warm tofu”, but unlike the tofu many people know, it is not made from soybeans
Instead, it is made from chickpea flour, cooked slowly into a smooth, silky tofu with a rich, comforting texture
At Lahpet, we serve it with rice noodles, vegan tomato curry, pickled mustard greens, pea shoots, sweet soy and peanuts
A naturally vegan and gluten-free Burmese classic, Tofu Nway is a unique example of how simple ingredients are transformed into something unique and flavourful in Myanmar’s cuisine
