Today was my first visit to this restaurant, and the reason I chose it was the great photos I saw on Google Maps and its high ratings. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with rice, which was absolutely delicious. I was looking for a healthy, low-fat meal, and this choice was exactly what I wanted. The server was incredibly friendly, patient, and kind. I also tried an appetizer with a name that was hard to pronounce—I’m not exactly sure what vegetables or legumes it was made of, but it resembled falafel. However, it was much crispier, tastier, and not oily at all. It came with a delightful sauce that I believe was tamarind-based. At the end, the server offered me a complimentary dessert topped with grated coconut, which was also delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back to this restaurant!

Hidden gem of a restaurant! Incredible Burmese food, super kind and friendly service, fresh and delicious. Feels like home good home cooking from earnest and wonderful people. This place has a large menu, which ranges from burgers, to pasta, to some amazing speciality Burmese dishes (restaurant is run by people with Burmese heritage). We tried there Burmese specials, started with the deep fried “tofu” (made with lentils), it was crispy on the outside, and soft and creamy on the inside. Served with an amazing sauce to dip. Then got the Mohingar soup (noodle soup in a creamy broth). Fresh and filling, perfect on a chilly day to warm you up. A little chilli flake and perfect! Also the Burmese chicken curry, fresh and light and delicious. Side of coleslaw and some veggies - the coleslaw was a stealth awesome addition. Finally the dessert was some Burmese doughnuts (aka “bracelets”). So good, and made with sticky rice!

I came with my family to try this new restaurant… And there are so many good things about it. First of all, when I walked in the lighting made me feel at home, the way they decorated it gave me chills, good chills, they had plants, posters and overall it was great! Secondly, I was greeted with a big smile, and whenever I needed help with something, they would help me in the best way possible! And finally, the food looked like it was cooked by the greatest chefs(now that I think about it they were the greatest chefs), but not only that, it also tasted GREAT, I’ve never tasted anything better! Overall this restaurant is the best of the best, and I hope many other families/people/friends will have this experience too! William Awng.

The restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing, the decor here is very neat, The food proportion was ginormous, and food looked absolutely gorgeous when it came. The staff were also very nice, respectful and efficient. Our food came quickly after ordering. I really recommend you to try visiting this place when you have some time.

The space feels modern and inviting, with a more open and comfortable design. Service is excellent, and the food is delicious! A solid 5/5 for combining style and comfort so well!

We ordered samosas for takeout and enjoyed them at home with coffee for breakfast. The taste is noticeably different from the traditional Indian version, but in a great way! The flavors of the potato and green peas really stand out on your tongue. The homemade tamarind sauce was a perfect complement and added a delicious tang. Highly recommend!

The samosas are so different from the Indian version, fresh and crispy yet tender. We had a tasty curry beef and fettuccine coconut chicken, a good fusion in between Italian and South Asia.
