Lahpet has quickly won the capital over with its modern style of Burmese cuisine, moving from London Fields to Shoreditch.

With what started as a market stall, Lahpet quickly gained traction by tapping into an Asian cuisine without much representation in London. Using ingredients from Myanmar, traditional and modern cooking methods, and recipes handed down to Burmese chef Zaw, the restaurant creates delicious curries and fish dishes.

Located opposite Rich Mix cinema, the charming restaurant features hanging plants and high stools. The menu centres on sharing plates such as fritters, tea leaf salads, coconut noodles and king prawn curries.
